Sounds like he is taking people for a little ride..

It’s sad!!

There is no good reason to line the pockets of these infomercial snake-oil salesmen with your hard-earned dough.
CYA…and good luck.

By the way, did I mention my fiancee’ payed for the 3 day course? (She works long hours to feed her son’s dream)
Well, after a few days of sitting idle, “Hondo” gets a call from the Armondo people…saying he showed great enthusiasm (he did…he was psyched…for about two days after the course…then back to the video game)) and that they would let him have the one year coaching for only $3000, instead of the ususal 29k.

After long begging and pleading, Mom brought out the credit card and payed for the Coaching. (I don’t know the exact mount…it was at least 3k…I try not to get involved when she is upset and I am not Hondo’s father)

SO he just started this coaching thing…I don;t know where it is going, becaes he’s been playing on-line war games all day. I can understand how “hand-holding” and “coaching” can be beneficial. However, it also takes getting off your ass and studying…and taking copious notes. MOntelongo is a seasoned pro. He would not have had a TV show if he were a flake. I have read some of the negative things about Armondo, yet I also understand that any business can have a lot of snags..legal and otherwise…real estate in particular.

Hondo has bad work habits. I have tried to “nicely” tell him to that this undertaking of his can be successful, however he needs to change his habits. Even with the Armondo people holding his hand somewhat. It will require hard work, razor sharp focus and follow through.
I am trying to give an honest somewhat objective view of the picture here.
WHAT I NEED from you readers of this is this:

Hopefully, some of you have taken the course with the coaching. I would like an honest opinion of what “Hondo” and his mom can expect. I would like to know if the Armondo Coaching is good…not so good, or just plain a rip off.
Hondo has a scheduled phone call once a week with his coach. He is still waiting for the course material (DVD’s Workboooks etc. )
ANy advice or opinion here? Please, I only want to hear from folks who are very familiar with this Course and Coaching. I have read some of negative things relating to Armondo Montelongo. I want to hear it from people who have been through this course and coaching.
Thanks. Chad Shelby

Didn’t think the workshop was all that, but the binder we got at the end has been valuable. I have gone through some the numerous CD”s and booklets but nothing to really rave about yet. I decided to do a deal with an expert to get the training I need. Hands on is better than any CD or book.

I attended another workshop that also had same hallelujahs but was much more upscale and I liked it much better than Armando’s 3-day workshop. Same strategies, just presented slightly different.

Bottom line if you don’t put anything into these programs you won’t get anything out. It is hard work and time intensive. I want my investment back and will make it work for me.

We were told at confirmation there would be a 90 min. seminar and a Q & A after. Not so. These huxters had this wrapped so tight, and moved so fast, that if they even recognized a raised hand in the commotion, they would have embarrassed you for asking.

He kept closing. Every 2 minutes came another sales close. “do you want to be a millionaire, raise your hand and say Halelujah. If you didn’t yell, then he said you didn’t want it,” We raised our hands and hallelujah’d 27 times, when I started counting. We made it a drinking game with our free cokes.

Two hours of being promised you would have your hand held through your journey. You would not be alone. If you didn’t register and buy tonight, they didn’t want you because you didn’t want it bad enough. I will quote Armando here.

“If you don’t act now, you are fucked, you are losers, because you will never have anything more than what you walked in here with” Here’s another quote”turn off your cell phones, only broke people are calling you.” Here’s a guy, dressed like a pimp in cowboy boots, talking down to people and acting like he’s the second coming.

They said it was a massive discount we would get. Bottom line $1500. This gives you the dvd’s and course and a 3 (8) hour days back at the Marriott for in-depth, hold your hand classes. But, wait, before we go any further. The classroom only holds so many and we got more than we expected tonight, so, it’s first come, first serve on the classes in San Diego. The rest of you will be re-routed to Hawaii, or Oregon, or something. (on customer’s dime) Also, since it was such an overwhelming response, we don’t have enough courses here so we will ship them to you. But, first we have to have your $1500. I don’t know why they were surprised, we got a confirmation call 2 days before the seminar. They let us know how much money they spent getting us there, ($80,000..who does that?) but they couldn’t have some more courses shipped? They even complained how much the sandwich and chips they gave us cost. In addition, when they ran out, they told the people who didn’t get one, “if you wait too long you miss an opportunity. Some people had to park 4 blocks away.
They said “you don’t need money, credit, or experience” We’ll be your investor. Use our money. In my opinion, after what I saw (And I have 30 yrs sales experience) The people that bought the course and his tap-dance (not counting the obvious plants paid to jump up and run to the table….probably cousins or neighbors) these people paid $1500. to learn
how to find Armando his next deal, because, who knows the neighborhoods better than a local? Got to hand it to Armando and his flim-flam men, He’s having people pay him to make him rich. Glorified grunts.
The whole night there was no company name on anything, no logos, nothing.

I saw no way of processing credit cards on the tables in the back. Only forms. The genius doing Armando’s dirty work said, “the only thing we ask of you is to sign a waiver that gives us the right to use your testimonial on our info -mercial
You don’t have to be there if your camera-shy.” I saw the waiver. They basically can do whatever they want after you sign it, and you can’t buy the course without the waiver. Interesting.

He promise a money-back guarantee if you do everything he tells you to do. If there are 5 steps, I’m sure there will be one that is so unreachable or so obscure that it will void the guarantee, or, he will make so much money off your leg-work, $1500 is nothing. But you’ll probably have to sue to get it. This guy gets lost in numbers. After the class, you only have a toll-free number to hold hands with. That should keep you warm at the closing table.

Armando, I know you read this. That’s how you stay one step ahead. Good for you, How to get rich with no conscience.
