Thought they were different!

Thought this company might be different! I filled in the forms and was told I qualified for a free discovery call and they sent me the time and booked it in. Actually was really looking forward to my call. The night before they just cancelled and I was told I am no longer a good fit and should instead sign up for the $1800 accelerator course free trial! (even though I has sent them no more data after them booking in the call) On top of this I was still being sent very regular emails using cheap psychological tricks. If you are looking at taking this course please be careful and do your research. I can't comment about the content in the courses but the sales tactics and dealings are very low class.

REPLY TO RESPONSE:

Then the confusion is clearly on your side and with your automated email systems. I filled in the form and gave you my income figure and answered all the questions. Based on this I recieved a response saying that I Qualify for a free discovery call which I happily booked in via your own system! Only the night before you cancelled it and then tried to funnel me to your free trial of your online course. I understand now this was your goal. Quite underhand tactics. Please anyone reading this avoid this company at all costs or at least research thoroughly beforehand. If you research you will uncover many experiences like mine. Also note the review scores on this independent platform which the guys at consulting.com try to move people away from and towards the video reviews on their own managed platform. So relieved I didn't get sucked into this one. I know there will be another response to this somehow justifying their actions.. but no excuse. Own it!

Hi Paul, I'm sorry to hear about your experience here. I believe there was some confusion on the purpose of the discovery call as it was specifically designed for those who were a good fit for the Uplevel Consulting program, which is a highly advanced level business course only for those with established businesses turning over 6 figures or more. Since you were not yet at that level, Uplevel was not a good fit and we recommended that you check out the Consulting Accelerator program since that is a more basic level course for those just starting out in business or still reaching the 6 figure level. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear earlier on but we do at least recommend checking out our basic level program to at least see what our training content is all about.

Honestly

Honestly, this is just my attempt to counter-balance all of the junk ratings on this site. If you look at most of the 1-star ratings they are based on his ads and from people who didn't actually do the course.

If trustpilot wants to be a reliable site they should do some filtering on the reviews and ensure the people have some experience with the product they are reviewing.

I'm still investigating the product but he seems a lot higher quality than the other coaches I have seen.

Horrible company. Don’t TRUST anyone there

Horrible company. Do not trust Sam Ovens. He will give you just enough information to confuse you and not actually make the type of money they promise. They deal with a shady collections agency that will start pestering and blackmailing your family If you’re unable to complete your payments because the bs they teach is a one size fits all and the reality is some industries are not one size fits all. Then their support is a nightmare. You can’t call them even though they claim they’ll be there to “help” you. Liars.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. We've had hundreds, even thousands of students go through the program and successfully gain clients using the system. Based on this comment, its difficult to say where you had challenges or to even suggest what you should have or should not have done. However prior to judging the programs efficacy, I believe its important to show transparency around the specifics of how much of the program you consumed, what actions you took and applied and where you had challenges specifically. We make no mistake in saying that starting any business, even through our programs, will always be challenging and require perseverance. The last thing we want to do is tell customers that building a business and making money will be an easy process. However we do provide strong coaching support through our facebook groups where you can tag and ask questions to our coaches directly, in addition to the 2 weekly Q&A calls that we have where you can talk to coaches live. In addition our support email also offers a turnaround time of 24 hours and more often even less.
If you are still focused and willing to build your own business as a student of the program, then we would be more than happy to connect you with help if you email us at support@consulting.com

Worth every penny!

Sam knows his stuff! He is always clear headed and helps you cut through the noise and focus on what really matters. He has truly helped me as an entrepreneur.

Worthless junk

It's utter crap. 3 year old material, nothing tangible. He pretty much dumps his knowledge from books into tediously long videos that have no merit. There is nothing actionable in this course. The mentors do nothing except tell you to do outreach and look for commonalities in your niche - $1500 for that? The facebook group is like a carnivorous pitcher plant. Once you are in there, you'll find other students trying to help each other and wondering how they got there enticed by the marketing nectar.

To make things worse, students try and resell a variation of the same course to other students in the group.

The support team are rude and dismissive.

The refund policy is a scam as the trail is limited and not full access, he sends you a heavy book set, no thought for the environment so to make it difficult to return it since you have to pay to courier it back yourself. He also does not release modules other than his constant marketing hype during the trial period about he came from nothing to superman so you end up locked in when you agree to purchase the product since it takes a long time to few the tediously long videos.

Do not be fooled by this. I have taken $20 courses that are better than this $1500 one.

I took this course and paid $1800 usd

I took this course and paid $1800 usd. What a mug, I was bombarded by his ads, and the rubbish he spealled and got totally sucked in. Stay away, guys. The course is rubbish and is more about spamming people the way he spammed you in the first place, should of known! Annoyed that I've lost all the money.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience Jane. You make some interesting statements, and I'm curious to hear more of what made you feel the program wasn't what you were looking for? Can you clarify specifically how much of the course content you consumed and where you took specific issue?

Of course we are more than happy to help with any particular business issue you had if you email support@consulting.com

The best "online course" I've ever bought (don't buy it if you think he is a scam, it's better for everyone)

People call him a scammer only because he is everywhere and his ads "don't stop". If he really was a scammer he would have been deleted from Facebook a long time ago.

The fact that he is everywhere is because he is continuing to sell his products, because they're great.

People who really buy the course (like me) and act on it recommend him. You can't even imagine how much that man changed my life.

People who criticize him didn't even watch the webinar. They don't know anything about how real business works and they probably believe that you can't make money out of formal education with a 200k student debt.

I'm sorry to hear that you got that impression. However after checking our customer database, it doesn't appear that you had purchased or used any of our products so I don't believe you were given the opportunity to form a fair judgement of our online trainings. We also don't have any particular connection with Fyre Festival as I'm not sure where you got that impression. However we would be happy to help clear up anymore lingering confusion if you email us at support@consulting.com

do not pay for this

I have to admit Mr Ovens is really a con artist. He's mastered it! This online coure is a pure scam... only rehashing information already available in youtube around facebook ad campaigns. Check facebook groups this is all free content out there, no need to pay $2000! on top of that the refund policy is very sketchy.

I'm sorry to hear about how you feel about the program. It is certainly possible that you may be able to find overlapping information between the Accelerator program and other online sources if you do your own intense research as would be expected considering how the program teaches approaches and principles that have already been proven to work by other successful entrepreneurs and business owners. However the real value in the Accelerator program is that all the best practices in building a starting a consulting business from scratch are packaged together in one place to take you through the full process instead of having to put many hours in by yourself trying to figure everything out from different sources. In addition, we also do offer professional coaching support for when you come across specific problems not directly addressed in the program which is why we've had hundreds of students come through the program and gain a client. The program also comes with a 14 day action based refund policy that is clearly outlined on the terms agreement so we do offer transparency on this.

I'm sorry to hear this Paul but I just checked our customer database and it doesn't appear that you have ever purchased or used the program. I'm afraid that a premature judgement was made and we really do suggest either using the program or trying out our free trial prior to making any final judgements on the program.

I would suggest that the next time you see our ads on facebook, you can click the options menu next to the ad and have yourself removed from ever seeing them again. My apologies for the inconvenience.
