I was hesitant to join but am SO happy… I was hesitant to join but am SO happy I did. I was open for business for about 7 months before joining and got a few clients here and there but it was discouraging with the amount of time I was putting into my business, the amount of knowledge I had to share, and yet not seeing much for it. This program is absolutely something you have to put work into- if you care about it, this shouldn't be a problem. It was huge to have someone tell me exactly what I need to do so that I can simply implement, have that accountability, have the coaches to go to for trouble shooting, and really see results. I needed clarity in my business, how to market, how to show up, what to say, what to do, how to jump through hurdles, and really see the results I was after. The workshops were HUGE and to really have that one on one help to perfect our sales call is GAME CHANGER. How incredible it is to sell a high ticket program (as a mom of a 5 month old & wife) to do what I love, create sustainable income, and see the fruit of my labor. I saw my ROI in month 3 with 8k in the bank:) Super excited to see where things will go from here!

The guided program and group coaching… The guided program and group coaching was helpful, but things became a bit unclear during the mastermind as the strategy changed. I struggled to scale quickly enough, and ended up burning out as I was working a demanding job and launching my coaching business simultaneously. All in all, I’d recommend their guided program for new coaches - lots of value!

The mindset training inside this… The mindset training inside this program is worth the investment alone! Not to mention them teaching you how to construct, market and manage your business. 1000% recommend. Wish I could give 6 stars!

Better than anything on the market Smart Coach was everything I was looking for in a business coaching experience! I had done a mastermind in the past and felt it gave little real strategy. I had also done another program the year before I joined Smart Coach that was better but had way too much crap in it. Truly I don’t know of anything on the market like Smart Coach! I think of it as everything you need and nothing you don’t. The system is clear AND effective plus you have support with implementation every step of the way!

Deceptive. Woo Woo. Rude. No ROI. No Guarantee. Had I known that the Spark Program by Smart Coach expects DMs each day for the marketing process, I would not have purchased this program. Before joining this program, there was no written statement saying that this would require posting on social media 4x a day nor that it requires 100 DMs per day. Every week someone would post in the Slack channel about error messages with pushing the limits of what is allowed on IG for follows and outbound messages. Most of the outbound messages end up in the other folder, rather than the primary inbox. Because IG knows this user is constantly pushing the limits of follow requests and outbound messages. I don't believe unsolicited DMs, on IG, are well-received by people. It is an annoyance to receive unsolicited messages in DMs. It feels like spam! The sales coach is straight-up woo-woo. She started a sales call around the idea that the position of stars/moons was affecting her energy. Then asked the whole room, "Do you guys feel that too?" What a load of BS. The mindset coach just chimes in with basic snippets like "Just work on your morning routine," as if such high-level advice has validity or relevance. The hypnosis that's included in the program of course feels like another version of pseudo-science quackery. The hypnosis appointment is nothing more than a guided meditation. It always bothers me when a sales professional selling the program is friendly, polite, and approachable, but then the course creator is rude, mean, or offensive with their tone - unapologetically -- after payment is received for the program. It's the worst kind of emotional bait and switch. If you would not be rude, mean, or disrespectful on a sales call, then you should not be mean, disrespectful, or rude in an online course. Russ Johnson has an entire section where he speaks about mindset, and it's just delivered in the most condescending tone. Much of the mindset work boils down to work hard, being consistent, and being committed. Nothing novel. Jessica Johnson is never present, at all. She does not show up to coaching calls. She doesn't respond to members. She does not teach anything. We're talking about 0 interactions with Jessica in 3 months inside of the program. These one-sided contracts that penalize people for not knowing what is ACTUALLY in the program and not allowing refunds are just self-serving and deceptive. Their guarantee is entirely conditional upon terms they fail to communicate beforehand. At no point in the onboarding process do they explain point blank that the guarantee is voided out entirely if 1 coaching session is missed or if 1 IG post does not go out in 60 days. How convenient to NOT SAY it then ENFORCE IT and remove the obligation to honor their guarantee. They sleep with a clear conscious at night, even if their program doesn't work. It sucks to know they are profiting off of a program that doesn't help everyone. They feel no moral or ethical obligation to make amends, when results are not achieved by their methods. There is no fair exit of the contract if there's a genuine problem with the course, just their way or the highway. Any purchase on Amazon has some kind of basic consumer protection, whereas a $7,500 course, has no consumer protection. They write into their contracts that you waive the right to initiate a chargeback. Cold direct messages are nothing new. Gary V talks about DMs for more than 4 years. Alex Hormozi talks about outbound DMs every month on YouTube. In short, there's nothing truly proprietary about the concept of sending 50-100 DMs every day to drum up new business. It's publicly available content that does not require $7,500 to learn. Had I known that the program expects cold direct messages each day for the marketing process, I would not have purchased this program.
