Mike is an A+ Professional

[shirley]

I have to say, not only is Mike a good guy, but he seems to have attracted some good people around him. This forum has been a pleasure to read. Everyone here is polite and helpful. Makes for a very good vibe.

Hey I just wanted to add another + to Mike's A+ rating (now an A++)....

When I used the suggested host for the Mage program (and at $997 entry price, you sort of expect to be taken care of pretty well)..and they flopped (coolhandle) I posted my situation (after trying to correct it with Coolhandle) and I even posted a chat transcript with coolhandle to show people what they would be dealing with...

It was promptly removed from the forum.

Now for the professional way...

Mike suggested a coolhandle hosting situation, then found out about their problems and immediately began seeking a better opportunity for us, and had no problem whatsoever with the posts that were un-flattering of coolhandle.

I mean if you need proof that this guy will take care of his customers, this is pretty good proof of character.

Thanks Mike, I mean thanks AGAIN..

Is there a better Hosting Company as I asked for a refund from Coolhandle because of lack of support...?

Yes, HeroeHost. Signup here: http://heroehost.com/autoblog.html

They have fantastic support.

What was your support issue?

Not to belabor the issue but it seems as if Greg removes any derogatory posts relating to Cool Handle..

Took down two of mine and when I reposted and stated that the previous posts had been removed, I got a personal email from Greg chastising me. Said that my post was not relevant.

So much for open forums and integrity or lack thereof..

Most of the "gurus" get a commission on the hosting (well actually everything) fees. Probably even use their affiliate ID for the signs up. With Mage the buying of domains (for Mage) was through Greg's affiliate ID and he made a commission each time someone bought a used domain. Guess the same applies for hosting too.

Of course. We are all in this to make a living and I have kept the price of the ABB down because of Affiliate Commissions I make through this product. When affiliate commissions come before telling customers the truth though, then I have a problem. I have lost a lot of commissions on products because I have found that they were not as good as advertised and then told my customers about it. I have been chastised by a number of "Gurus" for my honest approach to Marketing as opposed to just promoting everything that comes down the pike.

Mike, I think that your upfront honesty about affiliate commissions will serve you well over the long haul..

I always thought that it went without saying that you got (and certainly are entitled) commissions on products. I cannot believe that those of us who are new or old in this business would think otherwise.

Guess that is why you have a great following: honesty, integrity and not to mention the thoroughness of your course and the painstaking effort that you put into it to deliver an "over the top" quality product.

Amen to that. And just a side note... I think maybe Mike felt it was unnecessary to add more bashing of Coolhandle since he already spoke to them AND provided another avenue for ABB members. It just isn't productive to the main mission of ABB... It is clear that Coolhandle has had some problems, I think most people after reading about them would approach that buying decision very cautiously.

As far a affiliate commissions, that IS what affiliate sales is ALL about. That IS how you make a living. The thing extraordinary about Mike is he will NOT promote it if he doesn't feel it has value unless he promotes it with a disclaimer.

I've dealt with at least 30 gurus over the last several years and I've only met 1 other guy (Terry Dean) with Mike's ethics.

One of friends over at the Mage site recommended me to this site and I was told clearly that "you won't easily find another person who is genuinely helpful as Mike is". And over the course of the few months I had known him through the forum, I have come to realize that is more than true. It really is amazing how he has delivered his course in great depth and covered all aspects of the blueprint from cover to cover. And what's more he's always there when you need him. I haven't seen a single post go unanswered where his intervention had been called for.

He is great at keeping the forum members up to date about upcoming events and even lets you about when he's out of town.

All the methods and techniques he speaks of is up to date and tried and tested. He didn't even leave the hosting part out as he's given us not one but two viable options to host our sites with.

I am absolutely thrilled to hear about the new releases Mike is working on right now, especially the new automated backlink plugin and the $3000 a month blueprint. It's just amazing how he does it all with just 24 hours a day.

Right now I am patiently waiting for the rest of the A-Z walkthrough videos to go up.

So is this guy great? or just brilliant? NO, he's just EXCEPTIONAL!!
