Ripoff Report Verified™ REVIEW

EDitor's UPDATE: Positive rating and recognition has been given to Sellers Playbook, Inc. for its full commitment to quality customer service.

Ripoff Report's discussions with Sellers Playbook, Inc. have uncovered an ongoing dedication by the company to total client satisfaction. This means that clients can expect that the company will work towards finding a mutually satisfactory resolution to any concerns. Sellers Playbook, Inc. listens carefully to client concerns and sees them as an opportunity to learn from past mistakes and become more efficient as a company in the services offered and the support for those services.

Sellers Playbook, Inc.'s principal, Mrs. Jessie Tieva, has informed us that the philosophy of Sellers Playbook is that their client’s success is the heart of the business. As a successful entrepreneur, Mrs. Tieva feels it is critical to listen to their clients, respond properly and work with their unique needs to ensure success. By always putting their customers first, Mrs. Tieva hopes to maintain Sellers Playbook as a successful enterprise both now and for many years to come. Another top executive, the “Director of Coaching”, Stephen Nagy told us that Mrs. Tieva's personal business philosophy is based on the premise that "strives to add value in service, understanding that a successful business model is based on value-added services, and client care". Sellers Playbook's “Director of Coaching Operations” says this, "We are one of the top companies for helping Amazon stores create and understand their own brands and source well-known brands and products. With us, you'll always receive a complex and customized approach to branding that comes from a team who consistently borrows strategies from large brands and adapts them to fit the financial needs of small Amazon businesses all over the world."

One of the things Ripoff Report learned in the course of its review is that typical customer feedback reads, "Sellers Playbook, Inc. truly communicate all aspects of the service in a timely and effective manner. We are very pleased with the responsiveness that the employees show us. They are serious about meeting commitments, and deliver on their promises."

The information provided in this report below is based on comments made by Jessie Tieva during an onsite inspection held by a third-party verification company with no biases towards Sellers Playbook, Inc.

Sellers Playbook offers educational resources for individuals interested in becoming third party sellers on Amazon. They have been providing this service since 2008, and have developed relationships with suppliers over the years. Jessie Tieva stated the following about her company, "It has become nearly impossible for someone to start their own store and be successful right out of the gate with Amazon because of all the restrictions. For the consumer it's really good, there are a lot of people that buy knock off’s or fakes. This is why the rules are in place, it helps to protect the customers. Because of the relationships we have with suppliers, we have been able to offer our members access to the suppliers and then we have our own warehouse. We do warehousing and fulfillment to Amazon. It’s really a service that we’ve created with the platform with Sellers Playbook."

Leads for Sellers Playbook are primarily obtained through online marketing and events hosted by them in various cities. The initial event is free and to attend their three-day seminar it is an additional $1000. Ms. Tieva explained the sales and service process after the client signs on for their services, "we help source that [merchandise], we price it, we don’t mark up anything. That is the service we provide. We do all the negotiating for you, get it shipped over for you with other member’s product in a 40ft container truck. The product gets shipped to our warehouse, we sort and label it all, we upload it to the seller’s store for them, then we ship it to Amazon and then it gets marked Prime. Our members don’t have to touch the product at all. All they have to do is monitor their inventory and pricing."





CUSTOMER CARE & COMPLAINT RESOLUTION – SELLERS PLAYBOOK INC.

During the on-site interview, Ms. Tieva was asked to describe a situation where a client was not satisfied with the level of service they received. Ms. Tieva expressed that their most common complaint arises when individuals who come to the free seminar don't want to pay the additional fee to attend the three-day seminar. She additionally stated the following, "those people aren’t our members. As far as our members go, we have very happy customers. We bend over backward for them. We want them to be happy, make money, and achieve their goals. We deal with many people on the front end that want everything for free, but this is a service and we don’t do anything for free."

When asked to comment on complaints posted on Ripoff Report's website Ms. Tieva expressed that they believe the comments were posted by an ex-employee, "I am 100% certain, that this past employer is the one making the comments on Ripoff Report. This person who said he was there during one of our workshops, we looked at our attendance roll, and they weren’t even there. We know now speaking with some other employees that have since left that company that the company is who is writing these comments. It is a competitor that wrote a lot of that stuff. It’s just too bad. Instead of trying to sabotage, and if they would focus on doing the right thing for their clients, it would solve a lot of their problems. They don’t need to sabotage other people." In order to further assure future and current clients, Ms. Tieva expressed that she has been in this business since 2008. This history has provided her with an impressive Rolodex of providers and an immense amount of knowledge. Additionally, they have a trademark license in 20+ states.

When asked what type of changes they have made to honor their commitment to making things right with the consumer per the request of Ripoff Report, Ms. Tieva further expressed their current customer service stance, "we strive to meet our customer's expectations. We go above and beyond in every way possible, and help our members make money. That is what people come to us to do. Not to just set up a store, but to help them become successful. That is our goal." She additionally stated, "we really jump through hoops to make sure they are satisfied. It doesn’t take much to make people happy and provide the service you say you are going to provide. If they have a valid complaint or even a suggestion we will listen and fix it."



Sellers Playbook is proud to be a part of Ripoff Reports Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, "I think people are looking for validation these days. They want to make sure they verify and see what other people are saying about the company before they get involved. It means a lot to us to be a part of this in a positive way and get that stamp of approval from them."





SELLERS PLAYBOOK, INC. – STATEMENT FROM THE DIRECTOR OF COACHING OPERATIONS – STEPHEN NAGY

STATEMENT FROM SELLERS PLAYBOOK, INC.:

Comments are full of factual inaccuracies and falsehoods. Furthermore, All Sellers Playbook events require check-in and no Ronnie B (or any variance thereof) was on the attendance list therefore it is likely the writer did not attend or was written by a competitor under a pseudonym.

NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I signed up for a 1,000 dollar course designed to teach me everything I needed to know to successfully build an ecommerce business through Amazon. The course was three days long. We were told that we would receive refunds if we were disatisfied on the first day. Cleverly enough on the second day we were told that to be truly successful we needed to invest 40 thousand dollars for their assistance and education, including proprietary software.

That night, I knew something was wrong so I did a bit of research. Not surprisingly, it is very difficult to locate information online regarding this company. But through a series of property record checks through public records, whois searches, and creative googling I discovered that this is a recycled SCAM that has been used by the same individuals for years. 

They barely changed the model of the scam or the cost to the consumer either. It's usually a 3 day seminar followed by a 40k upsell. Our speaker Scott Stewart was taken to court for this because of his "Rich Dad" seminar. The owner, Jessie Tieva pulled this with a real estate seminar just in 2016. I believe she learned the tactic from Armondo Montelongo who has numerous complaints regarding a similar scam a couple of years prior.

These people work together. When the scam stops working, they chop off the LLC from the main corporation and start anew.

Seller's Playbook has supposedly been around for years, but their corporate headquarters in Minneapolis is located in some sort of manufacturing building in a business park. It's probably just their legal location. The LLC was just registered this year. As was the website.

Under previous names, these people have sold educational material for an unimaginable sum and if you dig as deep as I did, it certainly appears that the material is worthless and there have been people who have needed to turn to the courts.

But they'll keep getting away with this unless the word gets out. Scott Stewart had the arrogance to explain how a good corporate infrastructure includes the ability to sever ties without legal repercussions. He said this to the crowd he intended to sell 40k of education to. 

Scott, you're a poor consultant (yes, consultant) and I hope that you enjoy those dirtbikes that you keep purchasing with the hopes and dreams of the people gullible enough to believe you.

 This company will pay a lot of money to remove these reports. It can be done. There is much more information in your report than I knew before. Please post this anywhere you can to ensure others are not taken for their money. I Purchased a similar scam from Jessie Conners Vieta in the past and this show will continue as long as they are able to take the money of people who fall for it.
