I’ve been following Codie’s work for years, so I went into the initial call with high expectations. Unfortunately, it was a huge letdown. The sales rep didn’t come across as knowledgeable or polished — he sounded uneducated, distracted, and rushed, almost like he had someplace else to be. There was no real effort to engage with my situation or provide value; it was clear they weren’t interested in helping out at all. Instead of a meaningful conversation, it felt like a box-ticking sales script designed to push me toward a purchase, not actually solve anything. That’s not what I expected from Codie’s brand. After investing years in her content, the first live interaction with her team should have reflected the same thoughtfulness and quality — instead, it came across as shallow, careless, and transactional. Honestly, the experience was so bad that I’m unsubscribing. A brand that preaches insight and value should live up to it in every interaction, especially the first one. This was a horrible experience from start to finish.

Hey this is Codie. I pulled the call transcript because I would never want anyone to have an experience like you outlined. I’m so sorry you felt that way and happy to jump on another call. After listening it seems like you had selected that our company wasn’t right for you and then said, “bro this was an absolutely terrible call. I’m going to leave you a bad review,” and when Danielle asked you why? You said, “You'll find that out in the review,” and then hung up. No problem to have this feeling, but I’m not sure that call with one of our team members necessitated this reaction. Here to help if we can do anything differently. Please email me directly at [email protected]. We believe aggressively that small business is really hard and reviews are super important so if we didn’t meet your expectations that makes me sad and we certainly want do better.
