Bill Good Marketing

I am considering using the Bill Good Marketing system and I would like to hear about others who have had some experience using it (good and bad). Is it worth the money?

Personally, I have no experience with it. However, a close colleague of mine, and the company for which she works has attempted to use this marketing system. The short of it is, Bill Good Marketing wound up refunding all of their money. The long of it is that you need to be prepared to REALLY commit to the process as it is very time intensive and, per my colleague's experience, it's substantially more of a commitment to which one could practically commit. Additionally, there is apparently some software that needs to be installed on your computer systems. In my colleague's case, it not only crashed their systems, but permanently erased not only their local information, but somehow it also erased even their backup information. After having Bill Good's technical people fly to their location to attempt to recover it, after substantial efforts, the attempts were unsuccessful. As a result, her company scrapped the Bill Good Marketing system and asked for a refund of their money.

Again, this was not a personal experience of mine and, perhaps, others have had pleasant, successful experiences, but I thought I'd relay this one as hopeful food for thought.
