   Kurt Mortenson doesn’t walk the talk, February 4, 2009

   By K. Yow “yow” (kirkland wa usa) –
     

   This review is from: Persuasion IQ: The 10 Skills You Need to Get Exactly What You Want (Hardcover)

   A couple of years ago, I took a class with Kurt and signed up for his year long coaching at a tune of $6,000.00. Now mind you, I’ve spent a lot of money on coaching and training over the years and this was absolutely the worst, and I mean absolutely the worst training (if you can call it that)I have ever received. Someone in my organization signed he and his wife up for an even bigger coaching package than me($30,000) and still hasn’t received a refund. We were told there were so many unhappy customers, they can’t refund everyone’s money which is their guarantee. Kathleen Yow-Wells Kirkland, WA After months and Better Business Bureau in Utah, I did get a partial refund, but they still owe me $1500.00. I wouldn’t buy anything extra from Kurt Mortenson, i.e. trainings or coaching packages.

   Boring, tedious, persuasion anti-thesis, June 27, 2009

   By MythBuster DownUnder (Perth, Australia) –

   This review is from: Persuasion IQ: The 10 Skills You Need to Get Exactly What You Want (Hardcover)

   I own and I’ve read many (most?) books on persuasion and found most of them to be at best average. Most fail to persuade the reader. This one is one of the worst. It rehashes the old (and by now tired) principles form Cialdini’s Influence, while not adding anything new or useful. The writing style lacks enthusiasm, leaves you bored and uninspired. If an “expert” on persuasion fails to persuade the reader to keep reading, his credibility suffers. The only reason I kept reading is to find out if things get better towards its end. They don’t. If there has ever been a book that looked like it was written by a committee, this would come very close.
