Oh where to begin... 

1) The author of this report is anonymous and unverified. 

2) It claims that me / my company takes "advantage of the millenial market place by promising them he can guarantee them with a job with a Fortune 500 company". Where is there any documentation that we/I have ever been in the job placement industry? The person that write this obviously has no clue about what we do. Nowhere on my website, or the 100's of articles that I have written has even remotely hinted that I help people get jobs with Fortune 500 companies. Ironically, I have Fortunate 500 clients who pay for my sales training service. Which brings me to my next point...

3) The anonymous author wrote "He actually does not have any sales experience or education that he claims to have that can be validated."

Well, let's take a look at my LinkedIn profile for starters...

Or maybe listen to me being interviewed about sales on this podcast:

Or lets go back 10 years and watch me be interviewed by SellingPower magazine...

Or how about this video testimonials from leading Sales Author, Jeffrey Gitomer:

4) The anonymous author then caps it off with "Beware before you pay anything to him because he has never delivered."

Never delivered...

Hmm... then why do I have all of these testimonials with actual names from clients:

5) And last but not least, the anonymous author says " If you ask for referrals he will claim they are confidential."

Well, see above, for one. Two, our clients happy to take calls from prospects who are ready to buy and want to speak with someone before making a final decision. 

With all of that being said, my team and I started seeing emails from ripoff report in our spam folders (they had our email addresses incorrect) and asking us for money to rebut these false claims, which in my definition, sounds like extortion. 

I should not have to pay to respond to a website littered with accusations that were not verified ahead of time. If these accusations were true, please file your report with the BBB better business bureau as they would actually look into the complaint first to verify its authenticity.

I am making a copy of my rebuttal in case RIPOFF report decides not to post my response in its entirety.
