Can You Ever Trust Internet Marketing Gurus

Can You Trust Internet Marketing Gurus?
Good Customer Service – You’re Got To Be Kidding!

Before we get going just a short note to say that the following is based upon my experience with internet marketing guru’s and does not reflect the experience that you may encounter. So, well let’s get straight to it, the reason why I am writing this post is because I am getting fed up with all the promises the marketing guru’s make but just do not deliver, and guys I am going to name names here.

I’m sorry if this upsets some of you as some of these people maybe your best friend and you may have made some online profits by using their products, but this stuff needs to be out there. Now I know that it’s not good to be negative and I do not like to really slag people off in general as we say in the UK but some thing has got to give! What I am about to say may ruin my reputation in terms of doing future Joint Venture deals with Internet marketing gurus but hey, so be it….

As far as I am concerned I will not recommend any product or marketing tips to my subscribers that just does not deliver, as I am in this for the long-term. Wether its about seo and website design or any guru promoting web businesses. Especially when it comes to customer service. My number one gripe is customer service or lack of it from marketing gurus. As a Brit from England we are not really use to good service in general as we do not always complain and nothing seems to change. Well no surprise there then…… We don’t have many marketing gurus.

But I expected a lot more from you marketing guru’s out in the good old USA. American companies are usually known for their customer service and it seems to be part of your culture, or at least I thought so. Many of the Internet marketing gurus will tell you that “well there’s no money in customer service” Well that’s plainly WRONG!

One of the marketing gurus you can trust!

Well let’s start off with a positive story I recently purchased the Affiliate Jet Packs product from Mark Ling. During the guarantee period I contacted his customer service with a question and got a very quick response that fully answered my query. After the guarantee period I asked another question that was promptly answered again. But this time I did not write back to them to confirm that my problem had been solved.

And here’s the great customer service part, they contacted me a day later and asked if my problem had been sorted out. I did not reply for a few days and they contacted me again to ensure that it had been. In other words they were actually concerned that there was no longer a problem. They actually seemed to care! This is great sign that Mark is not one of those typical marketing gurus and you may actually make an online profit with one of his products!

Now that’s a great true story and do you think that I will ever buy another product from Mark, well of course I would. But Guys here’s the thing, Mark is not one of those American marketing gurus he is from Australia. Duh! As Mr Simpson would say. So can you ever trust one of those marketing gurus, well yes there are a few.

The Top Internet Marketing Gurus in my opinion.

• John Reese
I have purchased two products from John and both delivered. Also his recommendations are reliable. This man is sincere and can be trusted. If you read the Hi Ho Silver Guru Away! post you know John is one of the first Marketers that got me interested in Internet Marketing. He is the king of the marketing gurus.

• Frank Kern
Good old Frank, he is a bit scruffy, weird and blaspheme’s a lot, (he will probably like that statement!) sorry Frank, but hell, he delivers. You will either love or hate Frank if only all marketing gurus were like Frank!

• Andy Jenkins
Andy is a video and SEO guy from another good crowd at Stompernet and he delivers. This guy really knows his stuff and is a likable chap. Andy is king of video marketing gurus.

• Mike Filsame or Panda Guy as I call him….. sorry Mike
Mike is a great guy, but when you buy a product from him there will be up sells, down sells, cross sells etc, etc but his customer service is good and he is a one of the good guys. Mike is king of the upsell marketing gurus.

• Phil Mansour

This young guy really delivers some good stuff, thanks Phil. Prince of marketing gurus

• Sean Donahue
Sean is a Brit but he lives in the USA so that counts i guess, but more to the point Sean always over delivers and you will not be disappointed with his stuff. So if you want to make money on the web Check him out here

• Michael Jones

This good old boy is one of the marketing gurus from the South and he always delivers; I have bought two products from him and learnt some new stuff I did not know.

It’s the Brits!

• Chris Farrell
Chris is Brit living in Beverly Hills L.A. But he is someone you can trust and seems to really care that you succeed. Check out Chris here

• Michael Cheney
Michael is a another Brit I know, but I have purchased a few products from Michael and he even took the time to contact me personally when I had query despite that fact that he has a team to do that. This speaks for itself.
Thank you Michael

I have written to the bad boys and given them one final chance to put things right and if they do not respond i will publish names and details here soon…….

Marketing Gurus - Summary

Phew! Well that’s off my chest now… need to clam down. You know all this is really disappointing as I did not really want to have to go as far and put all this griping out there. I just wanted the bad boys stuff to actually work as they said it would and wanted to be able to shout to the World Hey! This stuff works!

Well there is lot more bad boy names that I could mention but that’s enough for now.

A Quick Tip when Buying
There is one thing you should always bear in mind. When you are considering buying a product from one of the Guru’s.

Always go with your gut instinct. If you see them on a sales video and it just seems too slick, too contrived or just does not feel right to you… Well then it’s probably just not right for you.

Let me give you an example. I am sorry to say that I recently bought a software product from one of those bent british marketing gurus and the guy just looked well, what we call smarmy in the UK, just too clever for his own good. Just a smart arse you would say. I bought the product but refunded within the same day, as it was crap!

Another product was actually against the terms and conditions when advertising on Facebook, well that’s a good long-term strategy then, NOT!! this guy is one of those marketing gurus you should avoid at all costs

As I said in the beginning this is my experience, you may get something different. So the question is, will you get good customer service from the marketing gurus ?…..

Well some of them, even the American ones. Just kidding guys……

I have been to the US quite a few times so don’t get upset with me as I really like the American way of life and even you yanks… again just kidding. Yes even some internet marketing gurus!

But just be careful of those marketing gurus out there!!

Kindest Regards
