Clients on DemandReviews of clientsondemand.com

Clients on Demand are second to none! Astounding support and step by step guidance to get your business to six figures. COD has drastically changed my life.

I was naive and was a sucker for slick marketing and aggressive selling over the phone by one of their sales team members. I believe only a very small percentage made their ROI, there are likely many like myself who didn’t! The advice from COD to spend more money on Facebook ads and to “fix your mindset”, doesn’t help when you’ve spent close to $20K... In my opinion the COD teachings of enrolments borders on bullying and hyper manipulation a major turn off for me morally and ethically which I could not follow through with. In my opinion COD has been the worst investment into my business I’ve ever made but there you go I’ve learnt from my mistakes and moved on.

The thing is, there are thousands of people out there claiming to do with COD does. Don’t be fooled. There is absolutely no comparison to the education, support, integrity, and the all-around awesomeness of the COD/SOD team. They are second to none. Even though I have been a career development professional for over 20 years, since I switched markets, I was unable to use case studies or referrals of professionals I have successfully helped advance their careers in the past. I came into this program with zero leads, zero mailing list, and not a single idea of how to grow a thriving business. I’m not going to kid you, it is not easy. You have to be focused, show up, and do the work. They give you everything you want and everything you never knew you needed. The results speak for themselves. I have been able to quit my previous full-time job and do what I absolutely love to do. The best part is is that you come in to build a business to do what you love to do, but the end result is so much more than that. They have built an incredible community of service-driven entrepreneurs that support and encourage each other. This is my tribe. These are my people.

When i first about Russ and his program i was a skeptic! But I can tell you after working with Russ and the rest of the COD team, his program is incredible! it took my struggle coaching business from part-time to full time within months and allowed my wife to now stay home to raise the kids. Thank you Russ!! Can't wait to start my journey in MA!

I'll go ahead and state my truth around this experience. First, the good points. I think this is a great program for anyone who already has medium experience starting their own business and has a medium audience with some following. They give you mindset support, help you craft your message, and give you some really aggressive copywriting strategies, which is a pretty outdated style that still sells. If you already have an idea on how a business model works, and just want to scale up, then by all means, this is the program for you. If you are someone who is just starting their business, has a very small following, and not a clear message crafted yet around what you offer, you are better off hiring a different service. I was just starting my coaching business when I got on the phone with them. Was hoping I could ask questions and see what the prices were. Little did I know. Super aggressive sales guy basically didn't allow me off the phone until I enrolled, and didn't give me enough time to think about if this business model would work for a beginner. Should I have hung up? YES. Was I too innocent and polite and fell for the sale? ALSO, YES. I know I'm not the only one, as too many beginners get targeted, then don't make it for obvious marketing reasons. Not only do you have to pay a ton upfront for the program, plus funding your own Facebook adds. All of this before you even get your first client, then you are supposed to charge your first client a ton of money. Again, doesn't feel ethical for a beginner, who is probably better off doing some coaching packages until they gather testimonials, then growing their audience organically, and once they have at least 10 clients and testimonials, sure, go ahead and pay for COD. A lot of people who start spend tons of money with zero ROI when COD could have just targeted mid level businesses. Also, there is a cult like following and psychology to their online group. If you aren't selling, I believe that tweaking and looking at numbers around your Facebook ads is super important. But telling the beginner people who are going broke to keep working on their mindset over and over again, and keep throwing money at ads, when the reality is that this model wasn't made for them, would have been more ethical from their part. When I kindly spoke to a coach asking for my money back, and stating why I believe this program is not appropriate for beginners, and that plenty of people like me ended up losing around 20k upfront between program costs and Facebook ads. They didn't want to give me the money back, and again, made it into a mindset problem. They did offer to extend my membership. I didn't get upset. I understood. Hopefully I don't sound super whiney guys. I think it's important to let other people starting from scratch know about this experience. Also, I'm sure there are some who made it starting from scratch. So, again, this is just my experience, but I know I'm not alone and there are hundreds who don't make it. Sure, that's the nature of a business, but be warned and don't fall for the sales call. I love marketing and definitely recommend COD for people who want to scale, but it is only one model among many. For beginners, it is not ideal and I would suggest you start smaller and grow organically until you have enough confidence and testimonials, and are willing to throw around 20k upfront to see what happens. I also don't think that their aggressive sales approach is for everyone. They teach you to get on the phone for an hour, press on the potential client's pain point, then don't let them get off the phone because you are the solution to their life, and they should pay you 5 to 15k to get their "transformation." Client isn't ready? It's their fault, because you are the SOLUTION. Client can't afford it? Shame on them, as they need to be more resourceful. I couldn't get myself to sell like that. And that's perfectly ok. Luckily, I've recovered my money and grew my business organically, experimented with different business models and am happy where I'm at. I've seen the people who don't make it and take money out of their retirement, and wanted to honor those people. Check the facts. 2.2k members on the Facebook group, and usually only 5 percent of those members post their amazing wins, what about the rest? How many give up after spending way too much $$$ without enough ROI? How many struggle for years to get a real ROI with that marketing model? Does COD release real data with percentages regarding who makes it, who drops off? How many are too embarrassed to speak up if they don't make it starting from scratch? Again check the facts. The cost is not bad for a mid level business. Beginners have more at risk. Make an informed decision. Don't fall for the psychologically charged sales call.

Clients on Demand has enabled me to rocket-launch my coaching business! I've gone from working with a handful of clients during the year to enrolling my ideal clients month after month. I've learned an authentic system to target the exact clients I want to work with, enroll them, and serve them at a high level so they can achieve their dreams. My experience in Clients on Demand has exceeded any expectations, the team is incredibly supportive, and I am crushing my business results each and every month! Thank you COD!

I can't say enough good things about COD! My entire life has changed in profoundly positive ways since I enrolled 2.5 years ago. I initially just wanted help starting my coaching business as I was totally new to the field, but what I got was one growth opportunity after another. My confidence, my passion, and even my physical health issues have dramatically improved. Not to mention I now have the most amazing tribe who walks alongside me every step of the way! The business strategy is rock solid, but the mindset guidance is phenomenal and the secret to really getting the dream life I never thought I could have.

I was developing a traditional membership site when I had a meeting with a colleague. He and his brother had been talking about my business and the brother asked to speak with me. He asked me what my plan was for developing this new online coaching business and when I told him, he said I needed to change direction. He told me about Russ Ruffino and Clients on Demand and said that I should check out their program and build my business using their model and strategy. I followed his advice, joined COD and have not looked back! We launched our new business May 14 and in the past two weeks have talked with 46 clients and enrolled 22 of them into our program. We are attracting clients who are a great fit for the transformational program that we provide and who are invested in their own growth! COD has changed my business but even more it has changed my mindset and understanding of what produces growth and change which impacts my life, my team and those I serve. Thanks Russ and team for providing such a great resource!
