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.

THANK YOU! I first started working with The Leading Group November 13, 2022.I broke even within a few months, and was seeing significant results. Everything from finding the products, marketing the products, and order fulfillment was awesome. The results much exceeded my expectations and I am very glad that I chose to work with The Leading Group. Something notable was the communication and the customer service, they have the BEST customer service. If you are looking to scale or start an online e commerce business this is the perfect place. Thank You to the leading group, I am very happy I chose to work with this excellent group. -update- Sales went down for the past two weeks, I hope they improve over time.

Very Expensive, Not Worth It, and Low Success I feel strongly that the fee this business charges for store setup is way too high, and not worth it. There are many other companies out there charging much less for the same services. After discontinuing my business with this company and receiving a partial refund of $2k, which was all they were willing to offer, I still feel I vastly overpaid. I have been working with Shopify store managers I hired directly at a low hourly rate, since they're based abroad, and have already found their work to be of higher quality. We have researched many more quality products as well. I wish I had saved my money and tried this out myself. I do not feel like The Leading Group was doing anything that special or value-add for me with such a high startup cost, and then such a high monthly fee. Thankfully I quit before the monthly fee started. I would amend my review if the startup cost had been lower. Now that I see what these services entail and what they are worth, I really did overpay for a store template that was cloned for me, and for a store with minimal success, which mostly only offered one single product, and had typos and bad styling throughout.

Who could have imagined I knew I always wanted to own a business but also knew that I didn't have time. I came across TLG and did some research and had my first call and I knew this was an investment that I was willing to make. I work with an account manager name Lawrence that understands the business, and ensures that we win together. I am not in this alone I have a real team and it feels amazing. Excited about what the future has for us!

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.
