I would recommend Accelerator to anyone who is serious about growing their consulting business. Very methodical in how they coach. I got my first client only 4 weeks in. Definitely happy about the services
One of the best courses and programs out there. Sam has moved onto Skool.io but his program and teachings are top-notch.
Sam ovens & consulting.com changed my life! Helped me get out of my 9-5 job & create my own business!
I have purchased the consulting accelerator and UpLevel Consulting products and it is by far 2 of the best online business programs I have ever taken (and I've taken a ton). I HIGHLY recommend these as it helped our business get from $100-$200k/m all the way to $500-$700k/m at its peak!

I worked with consulting.com from 2019 and on. Their training and mentorship proved invaluable in helping me scale my consulting company the right way. I don’t know where I’d be without them.
Amazing program. Definitely recommend business owners or self employed individuals to go through this. Of course, work needs to be done to get results out of this program. Support is also given from the team to ensure that you can troubleshoot along the way. Thanks Sam and Team!
I’m Kevin and I have a company called Piracy Security helping course creators secure their intellectual property from piracy. Consulting.com’s Consulting Accelerator is how I got my start in this particular business. We’ve worked with Sam and the Consulting.com team helping them prevent course piracy for years and they are great people. The Consulting Accelerator is GOLD. Sam lays out everything: from building a solid foundation for your business, transforming your mindset, a proven sales framework (this alone is worth it), free and paid client attraction methods, Facebook ads, hiring and scaling, etc… There’s a whole community of supportive people. There are 2 weekly calls with experienced coaches including Nick Hauser. Through the Consulting Accelerator, I was able to start my business from scratch and grow to 6-figures. From confusion and not knowing how to move forward to having a solid structure and knowing what to focus on. I’ve utilized the course, buddied up with people in the community to practice sales, and hopped on Q&A calls when I had questions. The course has what is needed to produce great results: a proven step-by-step process, successful winning mindsets, a supportive community, and experienced coaches to guide you. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to start their own consulting business. However, you MUST put in the work for this to work for you. It's not a magic pill or easy get-rich-quick type of stuff.
This course was far better than my expectations & provided step by step actionable items. I appreciate the thoroughness & honesty as well as the proven track record of success from which the information is presented. As with anything, you’ll get out of it what’s put into it but the framework is extremely useful.
I started the course in October 2020 and it was the best investment I've ever made. I love the program, it's straight to the point, no fluff and just a ton of value. Highly recommended
I found Sam's Consulting Accelerator at a time in my life when I knew I was ready to venture out on my own but wasn't sure how to do it. This course pushed me to become more. It enabled me through high-quality education and methods that I frankly was not aware of before. I highly recommend Sam's course. However, if you're looking for a "Get rich quick" scheme, you are NOT qualified.
Firstly - I should presuppose this with saying that I did not pay for the course and was able to obtain it from a friend - however the course contents spoke to the core of my business category - namely I'm a web developer/marketing self employed freelancer. While I won't go through all the sections of the course as they deal with topics such as mindset and online marketing using Facebook - topics which there is now an overabundance of content on - the reason for my high review is as it specifically relates to the Sales module of the course. The way Sam Ovens broke down sales - specifically sales on a phone call - allowed me to sell a $5k landing page and then a $4k landing page to another client within about a month of absorbing the information - for this alone the course was very valuable for me. From reading his reviews this seems to be the really powerful part of his course - and regardless of your opinions on him it is clear he has been incredibly financially successful in his field and his sales ability is a big factor in this - I would recommend the course for the sales section alone. Keep in mind that this is someone opening up how they run their own multi million dollar business at every level - and hearing how his mind works is very useful also. This is not a magic potion and will not fix your life - which seems to be the disgruntled sentiment of armchair entrepreneurs - this is simply valuable information from someone who has done it themselves.
I’m a digital entrepreneur that in his life change a lot of niches and skills to survive in the economy of digital world. I still not finished the course but I can observe the following fact. You can say that there are old and little informations for the price that you pay if only the mere information you are looking for. If you want inspiration and synthesis this is the best course I ever tried, about the hight price I can’t judge because a little change in yourself worth any price.
I can highly recommend this company and their courses. Both are absolutely unique and most helpful to start an own consulting business. When I first started on the Consulting Accelerator (CA) course, I had never studied business at university or law school. Sam opened my eyes what needs to be done (and why something need to be done) PRACTICALLY in a step-by-step process which really produces results rather than marketing waffle. Very helpful for me too: the FB group. There are thousands of people who work hard, share their problems and are successful with the CA program. I had no problem to register and support is also always responding within 1 day if you really need help which you cannot get through the FB group. I really enjoy listening to Sam. I truly feel that everything he teaches is based on a deep insight and personal experience/study in how business PRACTICALLY works, and despite the course containing so much detailed information, Sam puts his knowledge in simple words which really resonated with me and can be understood by everyone. And this is also the beauty of the program: it is for everyone to get started from scratch. I believe that Sam indeed found, through his own experience, a unique magical concept to turn someone from a complete stranger in business into a successful entrepreneur. And this is confirmed by the many successful people in the FB group. It is the best course I found on the WEB for starting your own consulting business even if you have never run a business before.
At first glance, this program may seem like a scam. However, when you dive into the program you discover that becoming an entrepreneur starts with adopting a completely new mindset, which this program helps you with. This alone was one of the most valuable modules in this program. Furthermore, Sam explains everything step-by-step, for example exactly how to set up your website and register a domain, etc. The program is very detailed and really helps you start your business from scratch. I'm happy I decided to invest the money in the program and got lots of value from it.
Before the course, I was working in a bread factory supervising a production line and had no real exposure or skills in any field other than baking/manufacturing. The mindset course has truly changed my life and helped me mature and grow into a real entrepreneur. After finally leaving my job in the bread industry, I decided to make an impact and help people in my dream industry: health and wellness. Currently, I am branching off into a social media marketing business, helping nutritionists land their ideal clients.
Couldn't be happier with this program. Definitely the best investment I made in myself and my business the entire year. Sam is very thorough in the modules and leaves no stone unturned. For any questions students have, the community is great. Thanks to Sam and the Consulting.com team!
I purchased this course it has greatly improved my online marketing. It has increased our productivity in business overall.
I started in digital marketing in 2014 after working a day job for 14 years. I jumped from idea to idea and niche to niche. I was a complete mess with no structure and no real plan. I came across Sam Ovens and his Consulting Accelerator program and it provided the exact structure and plan I needed to get organized and set a plan in place to finally succeed in building my own consulting business. Sam is a light in a dark world of digital marketing gurus. Consulting Accelerator changed my personal life and my business. I can't recommend it highly enough.
