"Thank you to all who have experienced this and posted their truth...I attended the MM 3 hr intro this evening in Lauderdale. Ofcourse, i found out about this from a seasoned network marketer who is trying to turn me onto a new company she just got into. While I did learn some things, I noticed the sheer manipulation at the end of the evening and the fear tactics used. Wow. I'm SO thankful that I've had experiences where I was duped in the past by a bigtime NLP practioner in a network marketing company who used similiar practices. I give my SINCERE THANKS to those of you who have posted your truths here for the innocent people who come along and are swept into the currents. WAtch the TAKE AWAY at the end of the evening, where they literally lock you in the room...saying that "if you walk out now, you'll have to pay 1295 for the seminar." Then they try to sell you premium seats "the energy is stronger in the front of the room". But "seats are limited to only the first 17"...so the people start running to the table then after they get there he says and "you get the special premium seating for 397 dollars!!"...I was like whoa...so glad I didn't get sucked in to that one. Again, b/c of my experience in the past, I saw this manipulation CLEAR AS DAY and was able to walk out without feeling panicked, like I was missing out. It was interesting to see how people do get swept up...yes, you might learn a thing or two, but KEEP YOUR HEAD ON STRAIGHT...that's all I can say. Good luck to all. Thanks Inside Investigator...you're awesome to expose that one!"

The price reductions and limitations on enrollments are enticements to get you into action.
In my own case they work for me. I'm thankful that I signed up for some of the follow-on courses that I attended.
Now that I know the drill the effect has lessened. In fact, my wife and I will look at each other and describe each of the steps in the process. I think this works once or twice. After that the effect lessens.
Here is how it typically goes:
There is usually 20 minutes or so of lecture on the course and the value that it offers.
You get offered several things. Each are priced separately.
The prices are totaled. The sum total is a big number. Nothing you feel you could afford.
Then there are a few rounds of price reductions. You start to feel that 'this is a bargin.' (Minds are fallible, aren't they?)
You might even be told that the price is below their costs.
People at this point get up out of their seats and start signing up.
Then you are told that there are a limited number of seats. Here's where some in the audience start to panic.
Harv actually said at one of these events to his staff, "Let them all sign up. We'll just reduce the number of slots in Orlando." (I was in LA at the time.)
I actually took my time once. I asked the volunteer at the back of the room if there were still seats open. She looked at me as if she didn't understand the question, took my form, verified my credit card number and registered me.
My wife called after a course once. She was offered the 'in seminar price' and never had a discussion about the number of available slots.
What disappoints me about this is that it appears to be disingenous. It makes me feel that Harv and the other leaders are being opportunistic and inauthentic.
I just attended the MME in TOronto last night (apr. 18/07). The presenter was named Seymour (read about him on this blog).
He went through the first half of the book, it was entertaining and informative. Definetely worth the time even for myself who has already read the book twice.
As for the sales pitch for the MMI, it wasn't nearly as nasty as I've seen it reported. Seymour listed the price for the course, the price of the book and the materials fee added it all up and then told us we could attend for only the $97 materials fee. The premium seating price was $495-it included a CD package and it also let you bring up to 9 guests. Very mild in pressure. This made me feel a lot better. I will take the MMI in May (I had signed up for it before attending the MME) and let people know what i thought. Thanks to this blog, I am going to leave my credit card at home!
