Call To Action Promotions LLC CTA Promotions Business Plan creation rip-off Beverly Hills, California

About a year ago, early Sept. 2011, I was contacted by a Sales Lead Agent for CTA Promotions.  They wanted to sell me consulting services to create a Business Plan that would be appealing and say all the right kind of things for an SBA backed Loan.  It all sounded good, and I was very cautious that they were a real company.  They did in fact provide some services, to the tune of $1,500 up front.  But they did not do what they said they would.

They provided extremely generic financial templates that had no bearing on my business structure.  They did not provide the demographic and market research they sold me on.  While I expected to have to put time into the project I found they put very little effort in, and I was doing all the work, so what was I paying for?  I have a very seasonal business and when I had the opportunity to work on it their Consultant was not responsive.  I was later informed he was fired, but not given the opportunity to reschedule and continue the project.  

I was assigned a new Consultant and he gave me completely different generic templates to fill out.  Useless.  While he was more responsive I had little time at that season, and what little I got from him was not worth anything.

They MAY not be a direct scam but the ARE a rip-off.  There is no way I got my moneys worth, and I suspect that was the plan all along.  Watch out for CTA Promotions.
