I don't appreciate being guilted into signing up
While I have not signed up for Julie's program, my review is about the steps to sign-up. I took her free seminar on empowering yourself as a woman in your career and really enjoyed it. It resonated strongly with me, and so I signed up for their free call. I was really looking forward to stand thoroughly enjoyed the first half where we discussed where I was at in my life and why I felt the need to reach out. The problem I had is when we started to talk about the cost. I had an expectation of the cost since I had talked to other coaches with similar programs and hers was almost triple the cost. That was fine, I have no problem with someone charging what they think they are worth and based on other reviews, her services certainly see to be worth it. However, the problem I had is when I told the coach I couldn't afford something that expensive right now. I told her that I had just finalized an expensive divorce and finally paid off a bunch of debt to get my finances on track, but would really like to sin up in a few months when I could get he money together. She tried to tell me if I signed up now I would save a significant amount of money, and I could put down a payment to hold my slot and start in a few months. I told her I just wasn't comfortable with that financially. And then she said, and I quote "well, it's not like you're buying an expensive designer handbag or something, this will change your life so you can be the woman you visualized" and that set me off. We talked about how part of what Julia teaches women is the power of saying no, and yet when I say no you try and guilt me into paying money instead of respecting my answer? Up until that point I was ready to sign up and just needed time, but that really turned me off. I don't do sleazy sales techniques. It really sucks too because it's something I really wanted to take part in, but at this point, I'll just have to find another avenue for my journey.
