Got suspended from skool for trying to sign up to 3 or 4 communities at the most. What a joke
I was considering buying Sam Ovens' training about 3 years ago. Decided against doing so. Lately I have updated my webpages. WOW. Somehow Sam Ovens (probably someone working for him) found a way into my webhost account, and filled the opening sections with a couple of hundred words, all promotional messages leading the visitor to Sam Ovens Accelerator 'whatever'. Many many of my pages have been corrupted by his promotional bumph. It is disillusioning, infuriating, dishonest may be illegal. Wish I had never come across the name Sam Ovens.

So, firstly, there's a fair number of fake reviews. Secondly, there's very little in this course that cannot be learned elsewhere, free of charge. Finally, the emphasis is completely on you doing the work. I would take with a pinch of salt all the claims to be earning 'six figures'...(sometimes 'a month!'). I bought the course a few years ago. Very little of any use in there. However, I was so determined to make the money back that I spent on the course it spurred me to success! LOL.
If you want to know what type of company you are dealing with then please don’t read this review and instead just look at how unprofessional and petty the responses they have made below. It says more about them than my review. It’s like a petty immature person is responding. Disclosing personal information about me/my sick partner in hospital etc to try make me take down this review. They done this out of pettiness and spite for me leaving an honest review. Shameful behaviour forwarded to trading standards and subject access request to be sent due to them breaking GDPR. I will be pursuing legal action if they do not take these replies down that disclose personal details. Wish I had time to look at their course within the terrible 14 day refund period instead of being in hospital with my partner with cancer as they have publicly told everyone in their responses (disgusting they done this). Look at their petty spiteful responses below. Course was not worth the money. Asked for a refund and was told no. Course was absolute fluff nonsense. And to make matters worse they then reply to this review disclosing personal information about me and my family that I do not want public. Very unprofessional and immature. Stay clear. Yes she was in hospital with cancer and I could not go through the course until after the refund term ended (14 days! which is very short compared to other courses). And I lost my job. Exceptional circumstances but they didn’t care less. Only care about getting that 3k fee for the poor quality course. All fluff but they are good marketing it. Just shows the type of company they are. Ruthless compared to other companies I’ve dealt with. The fact they thought this was an acceptable public reply is disgusting. They should not have mentioned my wife or her being sick publicly. That’s private personal information. Completely disgusting and upsetting they would tell everyone this. They done this deliberately to try get me to delete the review but I won’t until I get a refund.
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!
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.
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. 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 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.
Seen these ads so many times I decided to look into it... looks like a complete scam.
Constant annoying ads everywhere. Clearly a scam.
