Stay away from The Leading Group... I used this company to help sell products (hired them, really) via an Instagram ad. I initially mentioned that I'd like to make an extra couple thousand dollars, per month. They said that seemed reasonable, after a start up period. I paid a few thousand dollars to them, registered a website, created an Ali Express account, paid for Slack, etc... all the things I was supposed to do. We set up a TikTok business account and I paid for ads. I had an original "account manager," who researched products and (allegedly) tested different marketing campaigns. I had a few sales, but nothing significant... this was after a month or two, maybe. Not totally sure on the timeline. Communication was sporadic. After a while, nothing was happening with the store. No sales, no communication from the AM. I was given a new account manager after about six months... he was very nice and optimistic, spoke about trying new products and new campaigns. But really, nothing major happened. I think I sold a few things. The second manager was more engaged, though... but having a few people add a product to a shopping cart, then not buy anything, doesn't really sound like a successful store. After approximately 10 months, I'd say I spent about $10,000 for the service, the ads, buying and fulfilling the products, the Slack and Shopify accounts. And I think the store probably did less than $1,000 in total business. So, spent $10,000 to do less than $1,000 in revenue... not profit. Revenue. Super bummed. It sounded too good to be true, so shame on me for falling for it. I wanted to be patient but I was tired to paying for the TikTok ads each month. And, in a show of good faith, they didn't charge me the monthly $500 that they're supposed to collect (since there was no activity on the store, they said they didn't make me pay). EDIT: I'm updating my review, based on the feedback from TLG. I had an account for almost a year, not 3 months or 6 months. I was pretty patient. Based on our initial Instagram chats, I was told that breaking even, or even turning a profit in six months, was very doable. They included screenshots of Slack conversations from APRIL of 2023. Almost a year ago.. nothing from the last six months, when I kept asking for updates or when I was given a new account manager. Or when I was told that they would 'investigate' why the store wasn't performing, then I wouldn't get a response.

Thank you Leading Group for introducing… Thank you Leading Group for introducing me to dropshipping with profit. This team is amazing in finding the winning product. They complete the R&D until platforms work for their clients benefit. An awesome team who has helped me all the way. I can’t wait to see the upscaling of a brand in my store. Although it’s not a get rich quick scheme it shows great potentials at making good profit.

Tax responsibility not factored into profits Not a scam but just keep in mind they don’t include your tax responsibilities when presenting potential profits. Shopify reports all sales to the IRS. You’ll be responsible for sales tax on all sales and federal taxes on all profits. Once factored in, the profits are very minimal, if any. Company is legit and their people are very professional, just not worth it when everything is factored in.

TLG is a great company TLG is a great company. I’ve been scammed by others in another automation sector so it’s really nice to be working with manager Jake and his team. In the beginning, things were slow and going through a process of some trials. But Jake has been great with me throughout the whole process, and now my store is seeing some sales and will soon scale. Jake personally helps and is always responsive to my questions and needs. This company really is hands on and cares about their clients success. Will definitely recommend them for all your Shopify automation needs.

Lending Groups Satisfied Customer I’ve been with the Lending Group for almost 4 months now. I was a little skeptical at first like anyone would be because there’s a lot of frauds out there. But this company is the real deal. My account manager Zamiel is always there to answer my question and he has found a home run product that’s doing very well for my store. I also want to thank RJ for getting me started with the process. The customer service with this company is second to none.
