This is a telemarketing nightmare. First, they have the barker: the guy on the Vegas strip trying to get you to sign up to go to one of their "free informative presentations" - then you have the closer: the one that tries to get you sold on the product or service. The entire thing was a sales presentation, not an intake or a legitimate review of what they have to offer you and at what price. My barker was MF and my closer was CW. Let me tell you how this went.I went to their website marriagehelper.com after seeing some of their videos online. I was interested in how too give my wife the space she is asking for and how I can deal with our separation better. They advertise the "Save Your Marriage" program for $49 / month. I filled out a form and was called quickly by the barker. The barker was clearly in a script, asking pointed questions to get the information to help the closer. He had zero interest in helping me, but did set up my appointment with the closer.The closer calls me, spends 20 minutes listening to what has been going on, then goes on the sales pitch. $3,000 up front for the "full package." Right away I tell him I just don't have the money for that. I would love to have that kind of money right now for that, but I just don't have it. So then he reduces the amenities in the package and comes down to $2,000. Then to $1,750 for just their "workshop." He tells me I might qualify for a "scholarship" of $1,000 and would be able to do the workshop only for $750 with no "ongoing support." He then goes on to tell me to beg my friends and family and / or sell something to get the money to get the help I need.OMFG people. It went from $49 / month to $3,000 up front immediately. The entire thing felt like a gym membership sales pitch.Based on the videos I have seen, I don't doubt that some of the material is useful. I have no idea how useful the workshop may or may not be as I can't afford to do it. But the marketing, OMG, it is over the top. I guess I should have expected as much given after a little bit of research on their CEO and I come to find she is a marketing major. Go figure. BTW, the $49 / month package they advertised was never mentioned again, even when I replied to the closer's email asking about it.
