Kelly O'Neil Uplevel Strategies Marketing to Millionaires I paid Kelly $10,000 to devise a plan to help me market to the affluent and when she didn't deliver me what she promised, she did nothing but insult me and get defensive! She was Completely Unprofessi Los Gatos, California

I have to update my review of this person because SO many people continue to contact me about the fact that Kelly O'Neil is still scamming people... many people have filed bankruptcy and even lost their house because of Kellys scams... She does NOT have a business.. she is a CON ARTIST!!

I'm also hearing that when she sells potential new clients, she tells them about "the crazy woman Cory" that is complaining about her online... THIS is how she's getting people to ignore what I (and others) have written about their experience with her... PLEASE believe that Kelly WILL rip you off ..and that I am NOT crazy in any way... Just someone just like you that is a passionate entrepreneur that wanted to believe that Kelly wanted to help.. but in actuality, she preys on people like us.. and its REALLY sad and scary that someone can get away with this type of thing in this day and age ..so anyway, STEER CLEAR of this person...

I also worked for Kelly a few years ago and can confirm - she's truly so full of her own BS she has no idea what she is doing!!  Her "marketing expertise" is a complete joke - she'd put clients on ridiculous monthly retainers knowing they couldn't even afford to.  Then, her monthly "marketing expertise" was just a complete bunch of nonsense.  I hear she's now been run out of LA and is heading to Vegas...maybe her odds are better there!

I have also filed a report on her. I worked for her and she is a nightmare. She doesn't like to pay her contractors and if she does pay it will be a long time before you get payment. She will treat you terribly, expect you to serve her like you are Cinderella and she is the Queen, harass you about your billable hours, talk about staff to other staff, talk about clients to staff, and just be an overall nightmare. I know a ton of her dirty little secrets but I won't share them all hear, I'll just say that you should avoid her like the plague. She is not who she portrays herself to be. She lies, she doesn't take responsibility for anything, and she scams where she can. 

Several contractors have been in touch with me about the same problems. 

My advice, run like hell if you are thinking of working for her or being a client of hers. Get a real business coach who has integrity. This woman does not. There are many more coaches out there to choose from, most are better choices. 

I too hired this silly b***h after a biz associate referred her to me...what a ginormous mistake!!

My business was struggling at the time and her website and supporting marketing materials all said what I wanted to hear but...there was no "steak to go with the sizzle"...all bs.  Last year when I saw her new marketing stuff for "Marketing to Millionaires' I was shocked. She's got a lot of f---ing nerve!! From what her assistant told me, she rents her house and is always having problems paying her own virtual staff is always giving them a hard time about their hours. 

I paid her $6000 and it was a huge waste of money. She thinks she's all that but in reality she outsources everything to virtual marketing assistants who seem to know more that she does!!  All talk...no substance and she didn't really listen to what I wanted...she kept trying to build my business into a Ali Brown-type business...Ali Brown is her hero and she sooooooooo badly wants to be like her.

She was condesending, rude, unorganized and the one time I met her in person she looked messy and ate a huge, disgusting lunch like she should be a pub with rugby players. Ugh!

I didn't even try to get my money back....my mistake for hiring her...heavy sigh.

I hope you were able to get at least some of your money back.

Kelly continues to screw with me and its getting really old! After she scammed me for my $10,000, she lied and said I threatened her, her team and her family and filed a false restraining order (which I've heard her and her husband do often). Then she had an attorney write me a threatening letter. Then she had a different attorney contact me to say she would settle.. she then pulled out.. then came back to say she would give me back half my money if I sign a paper which she won't even show me.. and now she's saying she wants me to send her a proposal. Obviously,  I don't trust her in the least and am strongly considering my options which includes going to the local and national media. In addition,  I've been contacted by an attorney who represents others she has scammed. If you or anyone you know would like to join forces with us, you can find me on facebook!

Thanks so much for your support!

Kelly O'Neil has scammed many people in the bay area and it seems like she's now moving on to Los Angeles. Kelly's reputation is that of someone who has a persuasive sales pitch, but when it comes to delivering, it's a lost cause. She charges thousands of dollars for junk and recycled  information.  Kelly will lie and manipulate every chance she gets.

Give the girl back her money.

Hey Kelly, If you are all Miss Millionaire Success then why do you have to resort to selling your services in a hotel meeting room?

I think you are a scammer and a bull**** artist.

Why don't you just return the money you B****

Kelly,

This has NOTHING to do with me not implementing your suggestions! I had already learned how to build a business online and how to create packages. My concern with you and your company is that you did not deliver what was in our contract which was how to take what I learned and market to the affluent (hence the name of your website, "MarketingtoMillionaires") which is what you claimed to teach me! In addition, I STILL have not received the 8 coaching sessions that are clearly stated in our contract. After you insulted me, disrespected me, exploited my trust, acted completely unprofessionally and then completely ignored me, I would like to know how you're going to make up for those.

I retract any testimonial I gave you, as they were all before we began to have issues.  I have correspondance between us stating my concerns after the initial strategy session:

I paid you $10,000 to A. do a professional strategy session with me B. Deliver me a business plan that would help me market to the affluent C. do 8 coaching sessions

The strategy session was a joke and not only were you completely unprepared, as stated in our facebook exchange below, but you allowed your dogs to be in the room when i told you I was allergic to dogs.

The business plan did not teach me anything I didn't already know and DID NOT teach me how to market to the affluent, as I already had a landing, have spoken in publc, have JV'd with other companies, blogged, sent out press releases etc.'

The coaching sessions never happened, as you would not resolve my previous concerns

Bottom Line Kelly, the website you sold me from and name of the program I signed up for was called "Marketing to Millionaires" and that is not what you gave me! I am not only not happy, but am extremely dissapointed in the way you falsly represented what you would do for me!

Can you please tell me how you attempted to resolve our issue? All I have in writing or in my recollection where when I raised concern (multiple times) is nothing except insult me, tell me I didn't know what I was talking about and that I had anxiety and one email with short sentences where you basically blow off my concerns!

I wanted nothing more then for you to have my $10,000 and me to have a business plan that helped me market to the affluent... That didn't happen and I will not stop standing up for myself and my clients until justice is served in this matter. If you have any suggestions, I would be more then open to hearing them.

Thank-you for finally saying something, as I have been attempting for you to do so for a while now!

Cory,

I am disappointed that you feel so strongly that your experience did not yield the results you desired. Our clients happiness is incredibly important to us as is apparent by the hundreds of testimonials we have on our sites.   Occasionally we do come across a client who fails to implement our recommendations and therefore achieves less than desired results.   Unfortunately, that is out of our control and it is not our responsibility to pay for their lack of action.

I am a big believer in free speech.  And I am also a big believer in integrity.  On the rare occasion that we have had a client who did not enjoy their experience, we have gone above and beyond to make it right even if we satisfied our commitments because it is the right thing to do and we have built a reputation based on those results.

I personally, as well as two people on my team did attempt, on multiple occasions, to work this out with you especially given the fact that you were raving about your exceptional experience working with us so many months all over Facebook, in emails and in twitter including a multiple tweets sent in January and February of 2010.  On February 4th (two months after receiving your plan and 5 months after your vip day) you said @kellyoneil I LOVE and respect your honesty!!! Right before you asked to sign up for another program with me and Kevin Nations but claimed you didnt have the financial resources.

We also have a video of you providing us with a testimonial that was created one month AFTER your VIP day:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-fGq1fC4Uc

It really isnt possible to force someone to provide a testimonial.  You provided that of your own free will as did the other several people at that event:  www.marketingtomillionairesretreat.com.

You also were filmed as a part of our panel where you shared step by step in front of the entire crowd everything we have done for you and recommending that other people sign up to work with me.  (We have that video as well.)

Again, I am sorry it has come to this but I know we provided you with everything in your contract AND more including TWO cash infusion plans which by your own admission were never implemented.  I am comfortable with your opinion; however I am very uncomfortable with you spreading documentable lies and terrorizing my team. 

Your behavior in this manner has gone beyond a disgruntled client.  You have in writing attempted to extort money out of me, slandered my company publicly, defamed me publicly and consistently harassed me and my team members to the point of them being concerned about their well being.  It simply isnt emotionally healthy behavior.  Under the circumstances, we have filed a restraining order to protect my family, myself and my team. 

We do really hope that you receive the help you need and understand that you must be in a very dark place to behave in such a way.

We will hold you in our prayers.

As if it wasn't bad enough that Kelly O'Neil broke our contract and still will not attempt to resolve our issue or return my money, now she's having different attorneys send me threatening emails stating that I am defaming her and threatening HER!!! I am in NO WAY defaming or threatening Kelly, but last time I checked, its well with in my right to tell the world of my own personal experiences with Kelly and her business kelly O'Neil International. I WILL NOT be bullied! I am completely outraged that big business's can threaten and essentially steal from the little guy!!! I will keep this updated!
