I have copied the statements below from Martin Howeys Website.in the interest of brevity, I will stick to the Bottom Line Simple Fact:
Below are the promises that caused me to foolishly pay and lose over $5,000.
Mr. Howey may keep his word with others... But he has not done so with me.
Its been almost 2 years and he and his son and daughter-in-law come up with every excuse in the book and they just do not follow-through on the advertised promises.
If you are considering investing your money and time, you might be wise to talk to me first. I'll tell you this is clearly a lot of hype, AND I speak only from my personal experience.
And, the reason I considered him in the first place was I thought Joel Bauers testimonials were worthy. Now, I have cause to even wonder about Joels integrity.
When Mr. Howey issues me a refund, I will notify you... So I can be fair and recant my testimony!
The following are direct quotes from their website and totally false in my personal experience:
Additional training is conducted on weekly group telephone conference calls and bi - weekly individual one-on-one calls. Group calls often include special guest presenters, business or marketing experts, authors, trainers, and even TopLines more successful consultants who present ideas that the listeners can use to help them be more successful. The one-on-one calls focus on specific situations that a consultant may need help with in their own consulting practice or something relating to a client.
Q: After I have completed my TopLine training, what ongoing support will I be provided with?
A: With TopLine, the support never ends.in addition to our weekly group teleconference calls, bi-weekly teleconference calls, newsletters, periodic mailings and training sessions, if you have need of help, advice or suggestions in client acquisition or in how to help a client solve a particular problem or challenge, assistance is available from TopLine Corporate.
TopLine is committed to training our consultants to be just that... Business Development Consultants. That means you need to have the skills, know-how, and support to enable you to consult other businesses. The faster you can begin thinking and functioning as a consultant, the less support you will require. And the faster you can become autonomous and self-functioning, the greater your confidence and the more effective youll be.
Q: What if I land a consulting arrangement with a large corporation and I dont have the ability or expertise to handle it? Can I get help?
A: Most TopLine consultants will work with local businesses in the small to medium size business categoryat least initially. However, there may be an occasion where you might have the opportunity to consult with a very large and complex client. If you feel you dont have the knowledge and skills to close such an account or to provide the level of consulting they may require, you may team up with TopLine Corporate for assistance. The founders more than 40 years of consulting with some of the worlds largest corporations can be used for credibility and to provide assistance with complex business matters.
When a person joins the TopLine team they put their hope, faith, trust, and the present and future security of themselves and their family in my hands. They look to me for a system that works and the leadership and support to guide them safely to the success they desire.
Every time I accept a person into our family, I put the stellar reputation Ive developed over my more than 40 years in this business on the line. I cant afford mistakes. I cant afford failure. Does this mean that everyone will succeed in this business?
Of course not. To say that or even suggest that is the case would be pure foolishness and you would see through it in a second.
But this I can say and this I can commit to... I will do everything in my power to see that every person who puts their trust in me receives the very best I have. The best training. The best materials. The best support. The best of me. Thats all I can do. The actual doing has to be done by each individual. If we work together as a team... If you let me help you, mentor you, and guide you, and you do your part your success is virtually guaranteed.
If you feel our opportunity is right for you and we feel you are a right fit for us, I welcome you to join our family of successful consultants.
End of Quotes:
I will tell you that I suspect they developed a dislike for me because I asked them (during the seminar) where the business consulting material is?
They called themselves a business consulting firm and do no financial analysis. This is unheard of.
If they were honest, they would call them a Marketing Consulting firm. And had they followed through on facilitating my needs as they promised, I might say they were a good marketing consulting firm who chose to completely ignore the Internet. At least it was their opinion 2 years ago... The Internet did not matter to them!
