Big name seminar company"Get Motivated" used the big draw names: Bill Cosby, General Colin Powell, Laura Busch, Rudy Giuliani and others to bait and switch a hard sell real estate investment course and a stock market course from TDAmeritrade. The event also was deliberately oversold and their were not enough seats!
Big name speakers were great but the heavy bait and switch tactics to pack the house were below the standards of good business, ethical and fair trade practice. Shame on the Get motivated company!
