Hi fellow agents,

I just want to share my experience with the Todd Bates program.

He went to our office promoting his program and promising 1 on 1's and coaching, but I came to realize that all he was selling were pre-recorded audio files for a 'discounted price' close to $1000.  Even the free 800 # is not free!  They waive the registration fee but you still have to pay the regular monthly fee.  And the program is only good for 1 year, so you don't have access to these files anymore after 1 year.

Within less than a month of trying his program and completely unsatisfied, I contacted him and told him that I am not satisfied with the program and it wasn't what I thought I was purchasing and want a refund.  Nothing in the contract says "NO REFUND".  But he refused to give me a refund.

Ok, so I asked him to refund me half of what I paid for just so it's a win win situation.  And I made this request only on the 3rd week after purchase.  I thought it was more than fair.  Besides, I never got any physical material and everything was online audio files.  So he would still have made money.

Anyway, if you are thinking about getting the Todd Bates program, be sure to ask...

1) REFUND POLICY

2) IN WRITING: WHAT IS INCLUDED ON THE PROGRAM (I doubt there's any 1 on 1 coach you'll see in writing), the support is more like a quick (1line) email response, which I highly doubt he even writes himself.

I'm sure there are others who are happy with the program.  But personally, I think it's a big scam!

SO DON'T GET BURN!  THERE'S OTHER BETTER PROGRAMS OUT THERE.

I HOPE THIS HAS BEEN HELPFUL INFORMATION FOR THOSE CONSIDERING THE PROGRAM...
