Complaint Review: Grant Cardone/Cardone University

I paid $160 for a "game changing/business changing/life changing" sales and marketing educational program from Grant Cardone Enterprises.

The original price was supposed to be in the thousands of dollars but they were selling it "heavily discounted".

I had heard good things about Grant, and he was an impressive enough guy based on his accomplishments.  Want to know all about how successful Grant is?  Just ask him.  He will brag about himself for hours.  I listened to a podcast featuring his truly on Bigger Pockets. 

So anyway, I thought I'd check out one of his products - his "Pathway to Millions"    I should have read the fine print - no money back for digital sales, no matter what.

After scanning through it, I realized it was a complete and total joke.  A total waste of money.  You want to know what his big secret is?   Drumro"S

Following this, we have:  "Find the decision maket", "Grow Big" because "small sucks" - (yes he actually says this),  "Go sell it" (yes - do sales, apparently this is important - NO WAY!!!), "Go for $50 million, or more", "Small Businesses Never Survive" (yes this is an actual Grant Cardone quote - funny, because I think he actually runs a small businesss), "Reinvest in your business", bla bla bla bla

At the end of it - of course he starts upselling his own promotional material.  And if you get on his mailing list, he will bombard the heck out of you to try and get you to 10X your spending on his stupid conferences, where I assume you can literally pay $10,000+ to go watch Grant Cardone talk about how how awesome he is, and yes of course - he brings in other speakers, who I assume get paid to talk about how awesome Grant is too, and maybe they tell you how awesome they are too.

Yes - I seriously paid 160 bucks on this crap.  And the fine print says "no refunds"  - so Grant's number one rule - "Save Money" apparently only applies when you aren't buying his worthless self-promoting marketing material.  So evern if you say "look - I wasn't crazy about this particular bag of goods that you just sold me, but could I get a partial refund, or maybe apply the money I spent on another of your products"  the answer is a big fat no.  They will not, which is amazing since their whole model is built on upselling, but they lost this customer for life.  Also - I've unsubscribed to their email ist, and called several times to ask them to stop sending me their marketing materials, and they keep sending them to me.  Grant also invites me and 1,000 of his closest friends, on a fairly regular basis (by email), to one of his houses in Miami or LA to see if I want to invest in one of his condo development syndications.  Yeah - I would just love to invest my hard-earned money into an already overpriced condo market in LA or Miami or Phoenix so I can earn a fabulous 7% return and you can earn 50%.  Maybe I should go so he could tell me all about Scientology once I got there.  Yes, apparently Grant is one of those guys...big shocker.
