You make some very valid points. Two of your interviews were failures but I really do plan on making sure it doesn't happen a third time. The Artist Directory issue I was not aware of but that can be fixed in a few minutes, I do apologize though. As to my comments about the ISSA and Josie I can see where I was mistaken. I do have several artists who are involved with them and upon reading what you said and reflecting on my actions I now realize that I am basically alienating the people I work so hard for and that is wrong. I am wrong. Regardless of another organizations feelings about us I should not make my ITNS Radio VIP Artists suffer because of it. Therefore I will change the way I do this. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. You are a good man and very talented. I still want this to work out for us so if there is any way for me to fix it please let me know. I am very sorry. I only want the best for you and I will do better in the future. Tina and I would like to consult with you to make a plan of action so there are no further mistakes.   ~SW~

I don't feel the amazing promotion package is working out for me.

It's been 6 weeks since I paid the $150 for your services and so far all I can see that has been done for me has been adding my name to the Sam Watkins website artist directory, and in which my twitter link is incorrect.  Further, having two scheduled interviews fall through also concerns me.

The main reason I even contacted you to start with was to help me promote my new album in time for the Grammys 1st ballot in October, but we haven't even discussed that yet since you have been unavailable.

You also wrote to me, Sam, that you had a problem with Josie and the Josie Awards and the ISSA.  That doesn't do me well either since I work with both of those groups closely.

So, with all that said I'd like for you to refund my payment ($150) through Paypal (details below).

I hope there are no hard feelings.  I know how things just don't work out sometimes.

Sincerely,

The business conducted with this individual was already deemed to be fulfilled and in no way fraudulent. A contract was signed by this consumer laying out all work that would be done for the amount paid to our company. He abruptly ended his contract when our company found it was not in our best interest to promote his appearance on another radio show and songwriting company.

We work with many other companies and radio stations and reserve the right to not promote competitors we do not work with. Everything else this consumer wanted to be promoted, we did. After requesting a refund, this consumer saw previous BBB reports that have already been resolved in the company's favor. In the 11 years that we have been in business, we have never had complaints until the most recent ones that have all been filed by a group of competing individuals to discredit our company.

We had a radio show interview set up with this consumer, but unfortunately, at the time it was initially scheduled, we had technical difficulties and were unable to conduct the interview. We reach out to the consumer immediately to reschedule this, but the consumer rejected our solution and asked for a refund. Our company has provided everything on the agreement and we are still willing to conduct the interview at any time. We have provided screenshots for proof, as well as the resolution of his complaint and request for a refund from Paypal, who did an investigation and deemed that all services agreed upon were rendered.
