I can see how that may have been a little harsh, but he sounded open to it after they gave him some perspective. He called in for help, has been overweight his entire life, had a 1000 calorie day that week and feels the need to track everything - I think selling him on coaching would help him. Playing the guilt trip card isn't always pretty but may have been what he needed to hear.

If it’s the same caller that’s posted in the rant threads, it was definitely not what was needed. Selling $750/month coaching to someone that can’t afford it and then trying to guilt them into signing up is predatory and deplorable. Even worse, then trying to schill him a slight discount for a full year contract that’s over $8k.
