I was sold a $1,997 program by Ted McGrath Brands after purchasing a $5 bundle I hadn’t even opened yet.Roe Desaro spent three hours pitching me — beginning with a long discussion about how committed she is to serving women. I was emotionally raw at the time (national and local chaos were peaking, and we’d just lost animals on our ranch). I asked to be treated with integrity — true fit or no sale — and repeatedly suggested we start with the smaller bundle. Instead, I was assured I “needed more.”Ms. Desaro promised email coaching support beyond the contract, a genuinely helpful Facebook group, and a monthly mastermind. None of it held up. The Facebook group has been abandoned for over a year. The “mastermind” was just a pre-recorded video with a formal Q&A. The feedback I was promised came six weeks later — generic coachspeak after multiple disheartening follow-ups.Immediately after I enrolled, Roe Desaro pressured me to sign a second agreement — outside the contract — restricting the professional methods I use with my clients. When I objected, she returned with softened language we could "both live with." Nothing like this was disclosed in the contract, the sales materials, or anywhere I can find about Ted McGrath Brands online.The most serious breach came during refund discussions, when Ms. Desaro revealed she had shared homework submitted privately by my business partner and me — without our consent — with one of her personal coaching colleagues outside Ted McGrath Brands. This individual was described as being part of my extended circle, with “30 mutual Facebook friends.”What kind of sales development company imposes off-contract restrictions on client work — then meets sincere, detailed concerns with verbal chess, deflection, and gaslighting?This wasn’t just a mismatch. It was a serious breach of trust.I’ll be filing a BBB complaint.If you’re considering this company, start small, read the fine print, check the reviews — and always listen to your gut.
