Surefire Success review (important)

As a former moderator of Luke Parker’s Surefire Success System forum I think I can offer some great inside perspective in the Surefire Success system and why you should not even consider joining Surefire Success if and when it opens as Surefire Success System version 3.

One of the key factors I look at when recommending products or systems like the Surefire Success System to my customers is how good the customer support is for the product or system to which I refer them. This is why I have recommended Michael Brown’s Niche Blitzkrieg so highly.

Michael is the former manager of a retail pharmacy and his skill level at providing customer service and training is extraordinary. This is why asked him to write an article about customer service. The article he wrote is called How To Treat Your Customers and How to Be Treated. One point that Michael makes in the article is to “Make sure you take care of customer support issues in a timely fashion.  What is a reasonable time? 24-48 hours tops.”

And that means even if you have personal issues, family crisis, or other extenuating circumstances. Of course if you send a polite, repsectful notice of what’s going on, most people will be willing to cut you some slack.

What you cannot do – and what happened with the Surefire Success System – is completely abandon your customers and customers that OTHER people sent you without providing any explanation at all about what’s going on. I’m going to go out here on a limb and say that Luke Parker’s Surefire Success System has been the strangest home business system that I’ve ever experienced when it comes to customer support.

Initially I was ticked off that the customers I had sent to Surefire Success had been abandoned, but over time I was convinced by members that I was being too harsh and that we should all remain supportive of Luke. It didn’t take much to convince me, so I spent some time poking into the Surefire Success forum now and then trying to keep people’s spirits up by convincing them that everything would return to normal and they would be glad that they had waited things out.

But eventually messages like this started popping up in the Surefire Success System forum:

“Hello,
 I’ve been checking this forum for nearly 2 months to see if Luke’s v.3 is ready. Is there any sort of time frame as to when we can expect it, in a few weeks? or months? I’ve no doubt that Luke is working harder than anyone can even imagine with this project, and I have reframed from asking this question because I know he needs no extra pressure, but, WHERE THE HELL IS IT?!!
                        Love Ya!:P”

Keep in mind that I was moderating the forum for FREE and this message was just the first of many messages like this from people wonderin

Wondering about your quote …”I can offer some great inside perspective in the Surefire Success system and why you should not even consider joining Surefire Success…”
That is great that you COULD offer perspective, BUT you didn’t in your review. Also, I could offer great perspective on why NicheBlitzkrieg will not work, BUT I won’t……seems to me you promote who you get money from -LOL -what a surprise…..

Bob, I put all of the products at this site in a STORE here:

Work At Home Truth Store so it’s sort of unbelievable that you think you are “clever” by announcing that the site earns a commission on some of the products it recommends. I was actually one of the FIRST sites to put an affiliate disclosure policy on my site – that was TWO years before the recent FTC disclosure rules went into effect. In other words I was already doing it when almost NOBODY else was.

The reason I don’t promote Surefire Success is because Luke abandoned all of the people who trusted my recommendation of his system. I actually VOLUNTEERED for FREE in his forum. I thought it might be inappropriate to post certain items, because they included private discussions between him and another volunteer forum moderator. Also, I kept trying to give him the benefit of the doubt for a LONG time, but ultimately I realized I should have trusted my gut instinct about how he was handling things.

Here are OTHER things I did for free which took up hundreds of hours of my life (what did YOU do to help people in one of the greatest economic downturns of the past century?).

1) Provided senior litigator Collot Guerard at the Federal Trade Commission with extensive documentation to help shut down the In Deep Services”operation they took down in Operation Shortchange. I spent weeks talking to her and her investigator on the phone and providing documentation by mail and email. I also agreed to testify in the case and signed an affidivat that the FTC prepared to that effect.

2) I spent a crazy amount of time helping people recover money from all kinds of scams FOR FREE – sometimes going so far as to help them talk to their bank or credit card company.

Google Money Tree complaints where I helped an insane number of people get money back and did NOT charge them. Bob, if you had to do what I did there, you would have probably shot yourself in the head. It was a nightmare, but I stuck with it because it was the RIGHT thing to do.

The National Consumer’s League used my write up and warning to post their warning 2 months later:

http://savvyconsumer.wordpress.com/2009/01/13/bitter-fruit-for-consumers-from-the-google-money-tree/

You’ll see their link to the WorkAtHomeTruth blog there. And you’ll notice that my warning went out on 11/18/2008 – 7 MONTHS before the FTC finally shut them down in FTC Vs Infusion Media

Or you might want to check out the “short list” of scams I helped people recover money from here (again WITHOUT charging them).

White Knight SEO Rides In On Broken Horses where you’ll find 36 scams where I helped thousands of people file complaints or recover money WITHOUT charging them. And that’s a SMALL fraction of the write-ups that were done over the past year.

I recently spent TWO WEEKS preparing documentation on a massive cross-border fraud scheme for a federal agent at NO COST to them.

I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea.

I COULD make $10,000/day promoting some crappy scam products that use hidden negative option marketing, but I don’t. Instead I try to keep people AWAY from them. If you think promoting products like Niche Blitzkrieg is “about the money” you apparently don’t know the dirty secrets of how the online world actually operates.

Not only COULD I promote all those scammy products, but I ALSO have the skills to do it in a way where the odds of me getting caught would be virtually ZERO. In cover a few of the methods in an article I posted a while back called Digging Deeper Into Negative Option Marketing Scams

But guess what, Bob. I don’t.

You see, Bob, some of us don’t have to wander around online making snide comments to make ourselves feel good, because we do what is right whether there’s money in it or not.
