Vertical Jump Program: How to Tell if it’s a Scam

As purchasing on the internet becomes more and more prevalent, buyers need to be increasingly cautious about who they’re buying from, what they’re buying, and the refund details of the purchase. When it comes to vertical jump programs, as you explore the many options for improving your vertical jump, you should be aware of some of the following tricks that marketers employ. Here’s how you tell the real deal from the scam:

This is a common trick in all marketing, a method that warns that prices will be changing for your detriment in the near future, encouraging you to make an impulse buy. However, while it often is true that a particular offer is one-time only, that shouldn’t spur you into a choice that you normally wouldn’t make. Instead, think through your choices, and if it turns out that this particular product is the one you want, you probably don’t want to wait too long, because prices DO go up as time progresses if the product is successful or increasingly desirable. It’s a law of economics.

For example, take hotels. When I reserve a hotel room after procrastinating for a period of time, I might find that waiting until the night before will mean that they can charge me a hefty bit more than if I reserved several weeks in advance.

Moral of the story is, once you’ve decided what you want, go for it. But don’t allow sellers to pressure you into a purchase with threats or bonuses that take you off guard.

If you’ve got a head on your shoulders, then you should have a healthy suspicion of testimonials. All marketers use them, but this doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t legit. Just know that they can be manipulated and changed and made up without having too much accountability–unless you ask to be put in touch with the people who wrote the testimonials. If the creator of the product does this willingly, that’s a good sign. However, if you never hear back from your request for testimonials or if they outright refuse to put you in touch with real athletes, well that’s a hint of one, their poor customer service and two, their (fake) legitimacy. Trust me, it’s happened to me. No word from the owner on the authenticity of their testimonials could mean they’re just too busy, or it could mean that they were, guess what, written by the owner himself.

Moral of the story is, every website has testimonials, but some testimonials are superior to others. This includes testimonials which can be proven, which provide better results, and which tell the truth.

Often the value of bonuses is overestimated and under-qualified. Here’s a hint: the creator themselves decides the dollar value of the bonus, but since it’s not actually for sale, it isn’t necessarily a true “retail value.” Look for bonuses that have had a positive reaction, either by their interesting nature or by the fact that they provide results. Extra reading material that’s all frosting when you need something more hearty is already too plentiful on the internet. Look for quality bonuses that can actually help you jump higher.

This means that a product claims to have associations with famous people. Take Air Alert for example. Do you really think that the professional athletes listed on the homepage of Air Alert really got their gains from this program? It’s just another classic example of how Air Alert has managed to package very persuasively manipulative ideas.

On the other hand, real associations with successful people can be a good thing for you as the purchaser if there are real ways you can be benefited. For example, being told that your coach has trained other professional athletes but who can’t list a single athlete he has trained is a red flag… yet, an interview with a super famous coach who has trained countless athletes might be very informative.

The moral of the story is, look for ways that implied associations with famous, rich, successful people can benefit you, instead of simply allowing the framing of the product’s seller as extra special for having all those cool associations.

Of course, you’ve already learned this lesson as a customer before. Just because something costs more definitely doesn’t mean it’s higher quality. BUT, of course, it sometimes can. Rather than choosing a product based on the price, it is better to choose based on what you’re getting for the price as well as what you specifically need. You can buy all the vertical jump programs you want for $10 a pop, but if they don’t add inches to your vertical, you will end up spending more money in your search. This is why buying value over cheap quality actually saves you money in the long run.

Buyer Beware 6) Iffy refund policies

Most products online come with a refund policy that guarantees the product. However, some vertical jump programs require that you provide proof, either by workout charts or working with the creator of the program, that you did not get results. Not only is that a hassle, it can be a little shady to judge exactly if your proof is measuring up. Look for a refund policy that is simple, of the no questions asked, guaranteed variety.

Hope these tips helped. It’s hard to trust people online nowadays; but with a little foresight and extra caution you should be able to find the success you’re looking for in a vertical jump program.
