Aside from it being a completely stupid idea from a marketing standpoint, there would be some serious logistical issues with actually getting people to post negative stuff about the practitioners they worked with. Not only that, I post
pictures of those giving testimonials, and imagine what a joke it would be to ask for a pic of the person next to their negative comment. Not only that, I'm confident that 99.9% of the folks who have not succeeded with me will fully admit it was a compliance issue on their end. Who wants to air out their own failure to follow a program? NO ONE. Like I said, the problems with getting neg testimonials are logistical in addition to being a flat-out stupid idea. I'm confident about my ability to help people (that's all I do to support my family), and whoever cruises by my testimonials page and writes me off due to an absence of negative testimonials can keep walking, I wish them good luck.
