Re: Building Wealth Institute
I bought their DVD and "book" (which is just a little stapled-together-and-folded thing that slips inside the plastic DVD case) for the $10 deal, and watched the video. I was thinking this might be legitimate, until I got a follow-up call from the office...
It was a guy who seemed like he was calling to check up on me with some ounce of genuine concern, but all he was interested in was selling me on something, I could tell right away. I remember when military recruiters called when I was in high school, the code phrase to get them to quit calling was, "I have asthma." The code phrase that apparently worked on this retard was, "I'm not sellable." From there he used clever wordplay to essentially insult my financial prowess, tried to lay the smackdown on my way of living, and snuck in a few jabs about how I apparent don't know what the fingersandwich I am doing. He claimed they were looking for people who were actually interested in doing the work (translation: suckers who will send them money) but, and maybe this is just me, but wouldn't the sample work that I could send in COUNT as a good faith effort, rather than actually paying them something? If they can cut me a percentage of a big profit margin, wouldn't the profit they get off my leads be more than enough to cover those expenses? By requiring money up front, they're essentially saying, "We don't trust you, but give us money and we might accept you into our fold," which, and this may just be me again, seems like overt bribery.
The fact that their website, under the 'contact us' page, cites the same number with a different extension -- leads me to believe that I would always have to deal with a salesman, regardless of what my question is. A salesman cannot be a go-to source for actual information, because it is always spun around into questions that require you to answer, "yes, you're right" (building credibility for their argument and establishing a perception that they know what they're talking about) such as, "Don't you want to live how you would like to?". So they could technically answer anything, and make you believe it because they are so overly charismatic that you buckle under his incredible guise of actual friendliness. If they were actually interested in signing me on, they would tell me where to send sample leads, offer me some sort of contact method that is non-salespitch related, and observe by the very fact that I am actually sending in samples as a basis to consider trusting my efforts as legitimate. But instead, they're like, pay us up front first. Uh, no thanks buckwheat.
