I have read half a dozen reports here at RipoffReport after receiving my sixth (annoying) contact from IPA people.
I told the first phone solicitation fellow no.
The consultant turned up the following day. I met him outside.
He seemed pleasant and I told him no.
Each successive day, I've answered calls (in spite of seeing their name on caller ID) which was silly.
They've been rude and abusive, suggesting I was incompetent and that there's no exlcusive on good ideas. I even told them that I'd very recently been through a successful BD consulatation and was happily implementing the recommendations of that firm.
My experience is very similar to others who've posted, as customers, but I have not given them an inch on which to bill me.
Examples I've heard about their consultant is in the area and it'll be "at their risk" which I presumed to mean at their cost (but is it the same)?
Next time they call, I'll tell them I plan to start recording the conversation and ask if that's OK with them. If they say no, then I'll hang up.
I really feel for those who've been taken for a song.
The one guy I met seemed pleasant enouhg.
The phone style is abhorrent to me.
The pitch definitely comes on "I'm not trying to sell you anything"
You're not interested in new ideas or growth?
What if I could show you a way to .....
I think I'll tell them I've posted here and plan to blog every move they make, if they continue.

#1 Consumer Suggestion
POST ON INC.COM ALSO
AUTHOR: Sandy - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, September 20, 2007
I suggest that you also post on the Inc.com site. IPA seems to monitor that site just as much if not more than this one. It is easy to find when you do a search on Inc.com, choose the one that started in June 2000, and now has over 700 posts. Title is I'm John Burgess, I'm Here To Help You.
Also, if they continue to call, call your Attorney General's office and file a harrassment complaint and file the same with your BBB. Your newspaper is also a good source to warn others in your area and chase IPA out of your area. Let a reporter interview you. They love having a lead to a good true story.
