I never saw anything like what you're talking about. The only thing close to that, was in an online report called "Financial Planning Clowns". And yes, I downloaded it and I have it.
Here's what it says:
With that quote, I 100% completely agree. If you find the materials helpful, keep them and pay for them. If not, return them. But don't keep it AND return it. That's horrible.
Everywhere on the IPS members site it says this:
I, myself, subscribe "off an on". Cancelling via email has never been an issue.
The value in the $25/month membership... is in the online videos. Without those videos, there's a lot of other "junk" and stuff to wade through, I agree.
Without the online videos, I wouldn't be talking about it. In my opinion, it is the #1 way to get an agent started with practically no money out of pocket. Just watch those videos and get to work.
The "Trusted Advisor Success Training" videos alone are sold for $399, and are a live recording of a workshop that costs around $1,000 or more (not including hotel, airfare, car, etc.) to attend. For $25/month, to view a slightly older recording of that training... is well worth the tiny investment and your time.
The members only site used to be $49/month... with far less useful content, in my opinion. They lowered it to $12.95/month back in 2009... and have been steadily increasing the price of it since. Today it's $25/month and they will eventually increase it to $49/month again. But those who choose to "lock in" their membership for the long-term will be able to keep it at that pricing.
Here's what it says:
Don’t steal books and software!
Don’t purchase books and software and copy them – then return the products and ask for your money back! I guess the financial planners and agents who do this are the lowest of the low. Talk about a lack of class, ethics, honor, etc. I suspect that those people will not last long as planners or as anything else. At least I hope not. Don’t you fear for the person or persons who might be their clients? Word gets around, eventually.
