Scam ALERT I joined the leading group back in August after speaking to a representative. When I had the initial meeting with The Leading Group, I came prepared with a list of questions and the representative answered all of them with patience. I ended up deciding to invest in 2 Shopify stores. Be aware as soon as your check is cashed you are on your own and the communication stops. I was told that “most” of their customers make between 6-10k a month PER STORE after about 3 months. They did tell me this number can’t be guaranteed but that it would be close to it and I wouldn’t be disappointed. Well, the disappointment started shortly after I started. Its not exactly hands off, you have to set up the entire shopify store yourself, and when its completed TLG will input the product they chose for you. I was told that ONCE a week the rep’s in charge of my store would have a phone meeting with me to go over sales and protocol. This NEVER happened. Not ONCE. They never reviewed with me products that were being sold or told me before advertising was billed. Over the course of 3 months I lost about 15k. The products being sold are all dropshipped from China. I was told the items ship between 7-10 days of order being placed. This was a LIE. I had angry customers blowing up my phone and email for weeks. Many of which did not have their items shipped for over 3 weeks so I can understand their frustration. Also I didnt know that my personal information would be accessible to them, as I was told TLG manages the stores for you. TLG assigns you representatives for each store and the “communication occurs on an app called Slack. That you also have to pay for. And the communication is rare. Often taking days before I got a reply. Do yourself a favor and stay clear of The Leading Group. REPLY to below response: If you do your research the negative reviews for The Leading Group are all consistent to what I had stated. When I said I was dissatisfied and wanted to shut down my stores because I was putting out more money than I was making every month, they offered no resolution. But I am not surprised by the reply one bit. They contacted me Saturday and offered me a “reasonable refund” if I deleted my review. I didn’t trust this given their reputation, especially since they were asking that I had remove my review BEFORE the company decided what they will refund me. Unfortunately, I wish I did better research before doing business with TLG. Hard lesson learned.

Fine, but with reservations I began working with The Leading Group back in October. It took a few products before sales began rolling in during the holidays, but it is possible to break even eventually. It's not as hands off as I was told during the initial call, so be sure to get clear expectations during your onboarding calls. You'll also want to keep an eye on your orders and push them to process it where necessary.

I have been working with the TLG for… I have been working with the TLG for over six months and I am very impressed with their performance. They have helped me set up and scale my Shopify store, and I have seen a 45% return on my total investment so far. They are professional, responsive, and knowledgeable about e-commerce. They care about their clients and their success. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to start or grow their online business. They are the best in the industry! I would be cautious and make sure you are not counting on any immediate ROI. Some of the other reviews are noteworthy. As with any investment, be cautious.

Thank You Leading Group I began working with the leading group three months ago. I have made approximately $4,000 in sales, and $2,800 of that has been profit. While I am not far from breaking even, I am not overly concerned with that because I am happy that the business is functioning well. From my experience, I have learned that a good product or website and effective advertising are crucial. I would like to express my gratitude to the leading group and will make sure to inform my friends and family about your company.

I wish I'd bought 7k in toilet paper The 2nd week after hiring this company I was contacted by the website starter. She spoke broken English and it was difficult to communicate. Took about 2 or 3 weeks for the first item and the site to be completed. It made 0 sales. Took about 3 weeks longer to build a new site and new product which didn't make enough revenue to cover the advertisements (600+mo). The company also charges minimal $500 monthly. So your sales after tax, shipping, cost, and ads needs to be around 2k to make a profit. Its a head ache at best, but you are looking for a quick way to spend 7k of Savings, give it a shot
