Before anybody gets involved with Keystone or any of the layered corporate structures that are very difficult to peel back, step back and change your approach. Your Due-D on the company will be frustrating at best; so dig into the people you are communicating and / or working with as I did. What I found is that most of the professional backgrounds are calls center, scripted, high pressure specialists that work assertively to extract fee’s memberships etc.  In our case, when you challenged them, they simply talked faster, in circles, deflected from the topic and flat out refused to provide references or a meeting at that business hqtrs.  When they didn’t like what you asked, requested, looked into or questioned - the canned response was this isnt for you.   Use google, use LinkedIn, use Facebook. You are simply considering a relationship with people.  And, it’s the people that will or will not make the difference.  Know WHO you are considering laying with, it’s  not a corporation.  Ask yourself this; if you brought them two deals a month @ $10k or $40k of profit, why’s are they  pressuring anybody for a $3k membership??!!  Sounds pretty silly right!?!?!?  I dared them to provide 3 references and I would fly to Utah to meet the awesome AT MY EXPENSE. Guess what, no deal....
