I tried the 14-day trial of SurplusAlert drop shipping service to find a supplier which sold new merchandise not reconditioned.
Within a month, I'm getting persistent calls from their telemarketers urging me to sign up whith the success team. These people stressed the point that they (the company & coaching team) would be responsible for making me successful and they needed me to agree to be one of their success stories.
They would make good on their promise in order to have a success story to use in their next infomercial. The first 3 times they called me, I told them that I had been through a different business coaching service, and I didn't want to go through that disappointment again. I thought I had made it clear to them that I wasn't interested in their program.
They called me again. This is when the person named Michael Walker gave me the impathetic routine when I told him I could not afford to spend money on any such training at the time. He said "We wouldn't take the food off your table"
I told him that makeing monthly payments would be doing just that. He still persisted telling me that their finance dept. Would accept as little as $100 down (normally $500.) The monthly payments were not mentioned until I had agreed on tape to give the program a chance for $100 down.
After I had made this agreement, Mr. Walker told me that there would be a monthly payment of $166.26. I said to him "I told you I could not afford monthly payments. He urged that if I followed their guidence and started making as little as $75 a day I could afford to make these payments and pay them off relatively quick as well as all my other debts. Of course I felt like a real idiotic fool, but I was determined to turn this around by making this a success.
1. They sent me a manual which was written in broken English. The manual had a few helpful hints.
2. I was promised 6 months of coaching. It stopped as soon as I opened my site. Now I email my coach asking him to look at my site and tell me what I need to change to persuade visitors to buy somethimg. He replies telling me to consult with SEO Blast. I believe that SEO Blast is a program which Perforum hosts.
I get mixed messages from this program. It suggests changes to make, I make these changes, go back to SEO Blast to run another analysis and see what happens. It gives me the same message as before as if I hadn't made any changes at all.
I report this problem to my coach asking him to call me so we can figure out what the problem is. He never calls anymore. He just says to go back to SEO Blast. This is not the kind of coaching I was promised. All I am asking is they look at my site, call me and go over the possibilities to help me figure out what I still need to do.
My coach hasn't even answered my last email. I signed up on 09/16/05 at which time I made that first $100 payment. On 10/16/05 and every month since I have made the $166.26 payments and haven't been able to get any decent coaching since the middle of November. They have provided tools and information resources.
Sometimes a person needs a guide through all that information and to observe the use of the information in order to appropriately guide a person or business to success, especially if they want to secure a success story.
