COMPLAINT ACTIVITY REPORT  Case # 67166452        Better Business Bureau of West Florida, Inc.

Consumer’s Original Complaint :

Intouch Marketing operates a marketing operation called AutoBusinessBuilder.  This company replicated website is supposedly used across the internet to attract people to a home based business.  The advertised advantage of using this program is that Intouch Marketing supposedly has a team of professional closers that will help you to make a commission off of this program and help you sign up people into your primary home based business. 

Here are the problems as I see it.  

 1. Many of the things being said in the daily webinars are not accurate.
 2. The company offers ad packages that allow you to purchase in groups of 50, 250 etc. at $1.00 each.  Supposedly, the company will advertise the company replicated site the appropriate number of times using your URL and create leads for both Auto Business Builder and your primary home based business.  I purchased one of these packages on January 29, 2010.  Nothing happened.  No leads, no nothing. I was told to be patient. “It usually takes 7-10 days”.  After that time, I was told the ads would start on or around February 17th.  That date came and went.  I got on a training webinar and asked the lady and gentleman conducting the webinar about the ads.  They answered that “They didn’t know when, but be patient.”
 3. To date, I have put $490.00 into this company as an upfront signup fee.  Last week, I was billed my monthly service fee of $95.00.  And my first ad package cost me $50.00.  Total: $635.00.
 4. The premise of the whole company is to help you build your primary business and earn commissions using their service. Every day I hear their webinar where more and more people are signing up for this service, yet they can’t even service the ones they already have!
 5. If I were to stay in this company for 21 more days, I would be billed an additional $95.00 monthly service fee, adding to my outlay with nothing in return.
 6.The presentation and the claims do not match the product/service.

Consumer’s Desired Resolution:

The amount of money I’ve put into this program should not be a burden on this company. I am requesting a full refund. I just want to go away quietly and go about my business.

BUSINESS RESPONSE : On March 1, 2010 Customer agreed to an additional month of service before he would be charged again to see if he wants to continue with the service or not.

Consumer’s Response:

An additional month of service, free or otherwise implies that their is a service being performed.  There is no service being performed.  I was told on the day that I signed up that 30 people would see the company ad and be directed to my link.  That never happened.  I was encouraged to buy an additional 50 on January 19, 2010.  It is now March 12, 2010 and neither the 30 nor the 50 have been processed.  Here’s my concern in the broader sense.  If this company is on a webinar two or three times a day bringing more and more people into the program, how do they plan to service these people?  I only have 80 measly clicks supposedly coming my way.  If I ran the company, with my complaint on the books, I would consider my account a huge priority.  It’s been 53 days!!   If they can’t even service a priority account of only 80 clicks, why are they selling packages of 250 or more to hundreds if not thousands of other people?  These poor saps who are getting in today, tomorrow or the next day are in for a huge disappointment.  As I stated earlier, I want to see this company succeed.  The strategy is a good one, but when you overpromise and DON’T deliver, this is a recipe for failure.  I will pull this complaint with a refund of the dollars that I’ve put in to date.

Some people who opt to pursue an MBA online are interested in furthering their knowledge base.  Most however, are interested more in increasing their income potential.  What is your motivation?  It is no secret that an online MBA degree can greatly enhance your income potential.  The internet is filled with statistics that back up that belief.  If you are researching on the internet, then obviously you are considering the option of an online degree.

The advantages are clear, but what are the potential issues related to pursuing a degree?  The time commitment is one.  You need to be prepared for a consistent weekly commitment to the task at hand and you will need to be disciplined with your plan of action.  The costs can be significant as well.  Make sure that you are opting into a program that has a positive risk vs. reward.  But you cannot stress enough the importance of identifying your true motivation for pursuing an online MBA degree.

If you are honest with yourself and decide that money is the driving factor, you may want to consider other alternatives.  A degree is a traditional approach, but in today’s economic times, a progressive alternative may be a better option for you.  Let us imagine what a progressive approach might look like.

Imagine for a second that instead of online college professors, online text books and ebooks, you instead are instructed by top world class business leaders through high quality HD video content.  Imagine for a second that one or two of these world class leaders have the ability to help you save thousands of dollars per year on your income taxes.  Imagine for a second that these top business leaders commit themselves to teaching you all of their “tricks of the trade” as it relates to business success.  And finally, imagine that these same top leaders are willing to teach you how to explode your income potential through a unique program that each of them are already involved in on a daily basis.

A traditional approach may be exactly what you need to help you increase your income in your current career.  The scenario above is not a slam against traditional approaches.  It is simply a way to get you to open your mind to the other options that are available out there, especially with the advancements in technology and the internet.  If you plan to improve your financial outlook through an online MBA degree, you are to be applauded for doing so.  Nothing is more important to any of us than ongoing continuing education.  On the other hand, if you think a more progressive approach might be a good option for you, realize that credible alternatives are out there.  Do your due diligence.  When you do make your decision and implement your strategy, either way you will be placing yourself on a path for future success.

If you would like to implement a strategy for continuing your education and building your income without the expense and long term commitment of an MBA degree, visit our website today @ http://www.workwithgregtucker.com/ilearningglobal-tv/.  The world’s top business leaders are waiting there to show you a new and powerful approach to ensuring your financial success.  Greg Tucker – 864-706-3506 contentmentfirst@yahoo.com (Sponsor Code: contentmentfirst)

It is always good to see people interested in furthering their education.  It does not matter what career you have chosen, ongoing education is important.  Regardless of whether you want to simply expand your knowledge, or drive up your income potential, an online MBA degree can pay dividends long term.  In this economic environment, you can bet that employers look closely at employees who work to better themselves.  When hiring or moving someone up in pay and level of responsibility, continuing education can play heavily in your favor.

The majority of those who want to get their MBA degree online are motivated by money.  The income potential is well documented.  The downside is the expense, the time and the commitment.  When considering an online MBA, you want to be sure that the risk is worth the reward.  When completed, what is the payoff?  What can you honestly expect from getting your degree?  It would be a good idea to discuss this with the appropriate individuals within your organization before making the choice to move forward.  If you decide not to move forward, do not despair.  There are alternatives.  You just need to think outside the box and zero in on what you really want to achieve.

If your aim is solely to increase your income, consider a forward thinking alternative to an MBA degree. Forget online professors.  What if you had the opportunity to be mentored by top Fortune 500 business leaders who have proven themselves year after year?  And what if these same world class business leaders taught you on a daily basis how to implement and execute a strategy for exploding your income?  What if one of these top leaders happened to be the top tax adviser in the United States who was willing to show you how to save $5,000- $50,000 per year in taxes?

Obviously the same business leaders would have a lot on the ball as it pertains to personal development and business skills.  What if they also held classes for you that taught you every technique they have used over the years to ensure their success?  It is an interesting comparison, don’t you think?  An online classroom with you in front of a computer toiling away essentially alone in pursuit of an MBA degree, or you in front of that same computer learning from the world’s top business minds how to become a success in every aspect of your business life.

This scenario is not to demean those who offer online MBA degree programs, or those who are adamant about pursuing their degree.  It is simply to help you to realize that in this day and age, there are alternatives if you just look a little closer, expand your mind and consider viable alternatives.  Regardless of the path that you take; whether it is a traditional approach or a progressive one, the fact that you are continuing your educational journey is something to be celebrated.

At last, I can finally tell you.  In December of 2009, Tahir Shah and Matt Garrett finished a new service they’d been working on.  On January 25th, I put it to the test.  The results have been nothing short of phenomenal!  If you are a downline builder, this is the tool for you.  As of today, February 15th, 2009 I have 1,622 target niche followers on Twitter.  In addition, in only 22 days, I’ve created a residual monthly recurring income as a Twittollower affiliate of $412.00.

I chose the niche “Network Marketing/MLM”.  Twittollower guarantees at least 2,000 targeted niche followers per month.  Let me tell you.  So far, every single person that has joined my Twitter site in the past 22 days is a person who is interested in building a business online and who’s interested in generating multiple streams of income.  Most of these individuals could be termed as a downline builder obviously due to their involvement in the network marketing industry.  How do I know?  Just by reviewing their Tweets.  It’s obvious.  I’m not sure how Twittollower does it, but somehow they “mine” these followers for you from highly followed people who are already in the niche of your choosing.

When you consider my residuals created in the past 22 days and fast forward 12 months, it’s easy to see how this residual income will grow into the thousands!  Note:  MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE JOINED TWITTOLLOWER UNDER MY AFFILIATE LINK ARE FROM THE GROUP THAT I’VE CREATED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM!  Do you get that?  In other words, I’m exploding my list of followers on Twitter using a fantastic product that builds followers in the tens of thousands.  I then promote the program to that exact same list of followers in order to build an income.  AMAZING!!

So what should you do?  Watch this video TO THE END.  (It’s long, but worth it; believe me.)

Next, join the program and set up your Twitter account.  And finally, put together some creative 140 character discussions/promotions of Twittollower and begin mixing them into your daily Tweets.  (Feel free to steal some of mine @ my Twitter site: ilearntoearn.)

Regardless of what you’ve chosen as your primary business, consider this as “a little something on the side”.  Use this program to explode your Twitter account into the tens of thousands.  Promote your primary business there.  Promote Twittollower there.  Promote whatever you want!  But do it the smart way.  Let Twittollower build your following on autopilot and you just stick to Tweeting effective messages.  Best of luck to you.  Greg Tucker

Most people who join a direct marketing business follow the lead of their mentor without question. From day one, they are told to generate a list of all friends and family, co-workers, former classmates, etc. It is suggested that they learn the basics of the company, i.e. the products, the company overview and the compensation plan. Armed with this knowledge and their list of potential leads, the typical distributor is up and running within a week or two.

They have heard success stories from their mentor about people in the organization making tens of thousands of dollars. Some key leaders are mentioned by name and their earnings are parroted by thousands of distributors within the organization. If they can do it, so can you, or at least that is how the story goes. Most new distributors are excited in the beginning and are eager to get started. Once they have been in for a few months, reality begins to set in and they realize that success is not that easy to come by.

Out of one hundred people on a typical local leads list, only five to ten at best are going to join the company. Most people have a finite list of potential leads, and when that list is exhausted, that is when the frustration sets in. You have a monthly financial commitment to the company. In order to maximize your compensation, you are required to purchase the products or services at a specific price point. If you have any commitment at all to the business, you have also committed yourself to at least a small monthly marketing budget. When you compare your outgoing dollars monthly to your monthly compensation, doubt starts to set in as to whether it is worth your time and effort to continue.

A few people are just headstrong and persistent. They get over the break-even hump by any means necessary. Those are the people that are talked about and held up as success stories within a direct marketing organization. They are also the ones who have an effective MLM marketing strategy. Most however, do not have an answer for that stage of the process where they feel like they are in limbo. They are making some money, but they are also spending just as much to stay in the game. When most people reach that crossroads, their direct marketing dreams have the potential of dying on the vine. If you have reached that point, you have to ask yourself, “What is the one thing that I am missing that would allow me to move forward and become successful. This was supposed to be my path to financial independence. What do I need in order to reach my original goals?”

The answer is simple. You have run out of leads. Credible leads were the lifeblood of your business from day one. You assembled your list and put gas in your tank. When you ran out of leads, you ran out of gas. As stated earlier, local leads are finite. National and international leads, however are infinite. You can go to any number of places on the internet and find sites set up to help you generate leads for your business. I promise you, they are everywhere. The problem is that it may take you eight, nine or ten tries and thousands of dollars spent before you figure out how to tie all of this information together into one cohesive program that works effectively for you. The good news is that this is not necessary. There are programs that already exist that are all-inclusive; these programs fall under the category of an effective MLM marketing strategy.

These programs take the best of everything that is offered online and put an umbrella over the process. An all-inclusive turnkey marketing strategy is a must these days if you plan to reach financial freedom. You need a program that will help you to generate unlimited leads online and help you to get cash flow positive quickly. You need a marketing strategy that is duplicatable in order to increase your long term retention. You can only train so many people effectively one on one. Do your due diligence. Put some gas back in your tank and move forward. You started with your local leads and you may have been able to expand that list over time, but if you are out of leads or running out soon, do not despair. Find an MLM marketing strategy that is right for you. Do not wait. Step out of your comfort zone. Do your research and implement a strategy that will help you reach your goals.
