The ASK Method CompanyReviews of askmethod.com

I joined the Ask Method "Coaching" Program thinking that it would be the best way to get my small solopreneur business off the ground. I believed that coaches would be invested in helping me become successful and that I would learn simple ways to market effectively online - via a quiz funnel, specifically, but also webinars, etc. Unfortunately, this was NOT the case. The program was so convoluted to the point where it would take months just to properly create a funnel. But finally, I went through all the training and "bootcamps" and created my first funnel. Here's where the catch is. >>> Their program is 100% reliant on facebook ads. <<< Which isn't mentioned in their marketing when you're considering joining the course. I had a lot of difficulty getting my ads setup and the one video in their "training library" was completely outdated so it offered no help. I asked for personal help to get my ad running but was just given some lackluster advice on the facebook group that didn't help at all. I ended up having to pay someone outside of the program to get my ads up and running and spent thousands of dollars on ads without any sales resulting from it. It's not the fact that the ads or funnels didn't work that I have an issue with, it's the fact that this program is marketed as a 1-on-1 "coaching" program. I would expect a marketing or business "coach" to help me figure out what is going wrong and find what will work. When I asked for a refund for my $1k deposit for the next year of coaching they refused to give it to me even though I had a terrible experience and hadn't started the next year of coaching yet. Some seriously sad and calloused customer service at Ask. In my opinion, it's clear that Ryan Levesque and the Ask Method just isn't focused on their customer's success as much as getting their money. Tl;dr - I just didn't receive the "personalized coaching" that should have been provided for a pricepoint of over $15k! And the complete reliance on facebook ads should have been transparent from the beginning since it will cost you thousands of dollars to get going. They just want your money, not committed to your success. EDIT in regard to their response: Their response is everything you need to know. They clearly don't care about ensuring good customer service. They will just defend themselves that YOU didn't attend this-that-or-the-other-thing. Obviously after I realized the coaching isn't personalized, the video training is sub-par, and there is no in-depth 1-on-1 help... of course I'm not going to continue attending and trying and failing! You can only burn out with no help for so long. If you're thinking of giving money to the Ask Method, do yourself a favor and RUN in the other direction.

The founder of this company and his associates are dead inside. I can't name them specifically because it would go against Trustpilot guidelines. Other reviewers below have had similar issues with the same petty individuals who responded to my review asking for their names to be removed... Rather than doing the right thing by a client they're so petty that they're debating the phrasing of an honest review of their services. More than ever I cannot recommend their services. Earlier this year I bought into their Quiz Funnel Masterclass at a cost of $1999 USD. This was a group coaching package. I liked Ryan's approach and with this in mind decided to accept one of their upsells and signed up for their $15,450 USD Coaching Program. I enthusiastically made the initial payment then was struck down by a tragedy. My partner died of COVID. As you can imagine this did not leave me in the best mental state to pursue their Coaching Program. I explained my horrendous situation to the coach I had been allocated and the member of senior management (you can only get one person more senior than this person...). The coach was empathetic but that member of senior management was all about the money. Frankly I'm surprised that she wouldn't have a better understanding of the lifetime value of a customer... To be clear, for the money I'd already paid them the company had done absolutely nothing. I hadn't even completed their onboarding questionnaire so they had my money for nothing. All I asked them was for a simple refund of what I'd paid to them so that I could cover some of the costs that I suddenly had to cover alone. And despite my tragic loss clearly, this was too much of a big request. They fell back on their soulless terms and conditions. This is the kind of company they are. All about the money and not enough about the human side of business. I find it utterly puzzling that a company would treat a loyal client in this way. I've read the other reviews and they're pretty much spot on. Their experience jives with mine. Update 270723: Their response below says it all. Lots of cut and paste and no soul. You definitely knew about this as I told the coach (who shares my last name) about it. I'm also fairly sure your founder's wife and I exchanged several emails about it on 03 September 2021 at 19:46 50% refund when I'd used 0% of your service? When travelers suffer a bereavement their airline flies them all the way home, not just half-way. This little interaction was your opportunity to rise above, do the right thing and change your tune. The Ask Method Company doing so badly it can't afford to refund a bereaved customer $2995. Wow. You could be absolute rockstars but instead you're just a sad and petty operation.
