Overly aggressive sales tactics

From the very beginning, this company was overly aggressive, every phone call resulting in a sales pitch for something new or to be added. Even if you were transferred from one desk to another, the operator would be trying to sell you something. The so-called coaches are just sales people, making their living selling you things for commission and are more interested in selling you something than helping you suceed.
If you get wise to their scam, they suddenly switch "coaches" and try different tactics. If you refuse then to buy more, suddenly the phone calls stop and they continue to draw the monthly fee for your website from your account. You still get the emails, trying to lure you into calling them again.
The prices they charge for sites and "support" are high and they start you off with a "giftcard" website that is extremely limited on what you can do with it. First-time buyers must have a giftcard to make a purchase and you have to buy those to pass around, which cuts into the profit you might receive.
While I knew what I was authorizing, I can see where a lot of people could easily not realize that they had authorized this company to draw directly from their account each month.
