Will deShazo showed empathy for the struggles others may presently face and was straight forward in his willingness to be helpful, and then followed through. He understood who his subject was based on a few quick qualifying questions and didn't push for a sale. Compared to calls from other similar businesses, I was impressed with his approach and manner. Thanks Will!

I was their coaching client
[[[[[WARNING - READ BEFORE CONSIDERING THEIR SERVICES]]]]]
In the sincerest form of caution, I would strongly advise against spending your hard-earned money on this company's purported "coaching" services. As a past client who has splurged an obscene $10.5K on their coaching program, I am here to sound the alarm on the chaos that underlies their promises.
You'd expect an ordered and coherent marketing plan for such an astronomical fee. Instead, you'll be subjected to a haphazard plan requiring massive amounts of your time spent on endless sales calls, all without a clear lead channel strategy.
The ludicrous suggestion was for me to use podcasts for leads, which had me scrambling, researching, and contacting hosts, scheduling, recording, pitching, nurturing via an email sequence, and conducting a monthly webinar. What was the result? A resounding, disheartening ZERO.
But it doesn't end there. The audacious expectation was for this labyrinthine plan to yield ROI in less than 90 days. This is an outright impossibility if you're doing this part-time like me, a fact I had clearly communicated to them.
While their coaches can be helpful at times, the cost for this service is wildly overpriced. Be forewarned, they may try to bait you with scarcity marketing techniques, claiming a time-limited discount. Don't fall for it. You'd be significantly better off spending a mere $20 on the "Traffic Secrets" book by Russel Brunson than investing in this company's bloated and fruitless services.
Now, I feel it's critical to address their response to my previous feedback:
They stated: "We give every client several opportunities to review their Marketing Plan before we submit the final version to them." This is utterly FALSE. Their marketing plan is vague and the demanding, time-consuming tasks they expect you to undertake are only disclosed once you've been roped in.
They claimed they'd "never expect ROI in less than 90 days with a part-time effort." This could not be further from the truth. Their salesperson explicitly assured me that part-time commitment was sufficient, going as far as to say that the majority of their clients were part-time. This is a BLATANT LIE.
Don't be swayed by their attempt to twist my words. Their coaches are adequate at best, but the service is simply not worth the exorbitant price.
And here's a disturbing update:
This company had the audacity to offer a measly $1000 to erase my review from the internet. When I asked for fair compensation for the financial losses I've suffered due to their shoddy coaching and marketing strategy, they flatly refused. It's quite telling that they're more willing to suppress negative reviews than rectify their service failures.
Finally, be aware that they have begun bombarding their mailing list for positive reviews on Trustpilot, and not all reviewers are genuine clients.
This is a cautionary tale for anyone considering their services. Don't be seduced by their persuasive words and promises. This venture has cost me a great deal in money, time, and frustration, and I sincerely hope my experience can prevent others from falling into the same trap.
[2023-08-31 Update on My Previous Review]:
After sharing my genuine experience with GrowthTools on TrustPilot, the company took the step of challenging my review, labeling it as "defamatory" – particularly focusing on my statement: "Finally, be aware that they have begun bombarding their mailing list for positive reviews on Trustpilot, and not all reviewers are genuine clients."
In response to their claim, TrustPilot approached me for evidence to substantiate my statement. I promptly provided them with the necessary documentation, which included emails from GrowthTools' newsletter and feedback from other TrustPilot users. TrustPilot found my evidence credible and reinstated my review.
It's essential to highlight the lengths to which GrowthTools went in an attempt to suppress genuine feedback. From offering a paltry sum to remove my review to making unfounded claims to TrustPilot, their actions seem to underscore a pattern of trying to manage their online reputation at the expense of transparency and honesty.
It's disheartening to see a company prioritize silencing genuine feedback over addressing the concerns raised. I believe that potential clients deserve to see all sides of a business, both positive and negative, to make an informed decision. My intention remains to share my experience so others can make a well-informed choice.

Worth every penny - 10/10 recommend
We’ve worked with Growth Tools for nearly two years, including the last 6 months working directly with Bryan, the founder and CEO. Just a few tactics I learned from them about writing better sales emails have generated over $200,000 in revenue alone.
They are one of the most trustworthy, high value, and high quality companies we’ve ever worked with. You can trust that they will deliver on what they promise. More than anything, they want to help business owners succeed, and they’re dang good at what they do.
If you put in the work, the techniques and strategies you learn and apply from Growth Tools will multiply your efforts.
