High Ticket EmpressReviews of highticketempress.com

12/19/22 - entered into an agreement for a Business Marketing program offered by Tara Mullarkey called High Ticket Empress (HTE). As part of my contract I received a 100% money back guarantee if I did not recoup my investment of $11,800 during the 90 day program. While the details of the guarantee were shared with me during the sales call, I had concerns about the requirement of attending all live calls (due to work). When I brought my concerns about the language of the guarantee to the sales rep he stated that it was not strictly enforced and unfortunately I chose to trust that he was telling me the truth, so I signed the agreement. After completing the 90 days, I wasn't able to make my investment back and I messaged HTE to ask for a refund based on the guarantee in my contract. They responded by saying that I initially qualified, but because I didn't satisfy the requirements for the guarantee I was no longer eligible for a refund. They then listed additional requirements that were not in the agreement or shared with me verbally or otherwise (apparently, attendance at all live calls not only meant being there live, but also submitting questions & being coached on all calls - not stated in my contract). This was a complete 180 from what the sales rep had stated during my sales call to get me to sign the agreement. Not to mention the requirements are so rigorous that they are impossible to meet as it included 3 weekly coaching calls plus another coaching call that met biweekly. There are 6 elements of fraudulent misrepresentation and this business has met all of them. Due to the company's fraudulent misrepresentation of their guarantee I am left with a huge financial investment lost. I also put in a complaint with the Better Business Bureau hoping to resolve this matter. They sent correspondence to High Ticket Empress with no response. Still no refund as of this date. BEFORE YOU BUY, MAKE SURE THIS IS WHAT YOU REALLY NEED. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER REVIEWS JUST LIKE THIS ONE. DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE SALES TACTICS.

I am BEYOND grateful for Tara and the High Ticket Empress Team! I joined February 9, 2023 and comitted to dive in! The work has not been easy, but they were there encouraging, and troubleshootiong ALL along the way! Tara's additional emotional trainings were truly the secret sauce to unveiling where I've mentally and emotionally been holding myself back. With these trainings, and their help, I've been able to know WHERE to focus my efforts, HOW to nail down my niche, and was able to surpass my 2022 year end income in the month of March ALONE! So grateful God put it on Tara's heart to share her gifts, so we can more confidently share ours too!

I went into this program with a positive attitude and was committed to growing my coaching business. I was willing to try everything they recommended. I attended or watched coaching calls for 6 consecutive weeks. At this point, approximately halfway through the program, on a coaching call when I asked for support, I was refused coaching and told I was “uncoachable.” I was bullied and gaslighted on a group coaching call. After this happened, I did not receive any further support to achieve the outcomes explained in the initial sales call. Tara Mullarkey promotes empowering women, especially Christian women, and then preys on them throughout the program. If you are not seeing results, she doesn’t actually know how to coach you. She will find a way to make you leave or stop showing up if you aren’t seeing results rather than help and support you. I saw this happen repeatedly throughout my time in the program with multiple women leaving coaching calls in tears. The positive reviews online were unethically solicited to give the impression that she runs a profitable and supportive business. As someone with really thick skin, I’m embarrassed to say I fell prey to Tara’s tactics but this is narcissism and gaslighting at its finest. Whatever you do, find another coaching program. Don’t fall for it like I did and believe the outcomes she is promising you. Your mental health is more important.

DON'T TRUST THE MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE! This program is predatory. They will say whatever they need to in order to get you into the program, including offer to give you all your money back if you don't recoup your investment by the end of the program. I fell for this guarantee. I told my sales rep that I was living on savings. That I didn't have the $10K to give if I still wanted to have food on my plate and a roof over my head in 4 months. So he threw this 100% money-back guarantee out there, with no explanation on what the conditions of the guarantee were. Just that it existed. I'll either make my money back or they'll give it back. A risk-free no-brainer, right? So I agree to it, and fork over my first payment. It was only AFTER I paid into the program that I was presented with the contract with the guarantee details. Attend ALL 40+ coaching calls over 12 weeks or the guarantee is forfeited. Uhhhh.... WHAT?! That's next to impossible, and I shared my concern with my rep. Who then went on for the next 10 mins or so trying to make me feel better. "If you miss a few, no one will hold it against you" "We just expect you to show up to the majority of the calls" "If you can't make it, just send us a message and let us know you didn't just disappear..." "Do you really think missing 1 or 2 calls will be the difference between you succeeding or failing?" For 10 mins.... With all these assurances (and the fact that I was recording this conversation for my own research purposes), I decided to trust what I was being told instead of what I was reading. Fast-forward 12 weeks and I hadn't made my investment back. So I reached out to HTE about redeeming the guarantee. I was -expecting- some kind of pushback based on the verbiage of the guarantee in the agreement. That I hadn't attended ALL the coaching calls (although I let them know when I couldn't make it... like my rep told me to). The response I got thoroughly shocked me. They didn't mention anything about not having -attended- all the calls, apparently I was supposed to "Submit questions to and get COACHED on" ALL 40+ calls. A stipulation that was not in the agreement, nor was it shared with me anywhere else. Never mind it's a condition that is literally IMPOSSIBLE to satisfy - and since it's their program, they know that. We went back-and-forth in an email exchange for a couple weeks. HTE relented on the "coached at all calls" requirement and pointed to the fact that I hadn't attended ALL the calls. And shared screenshots to prove it. Screenshots where I messaged them and told them I wasn't going to be able to make it and why... like my rep TOLD me to on the sales call... Which actually makes it evidence that I did exactly what I was told. Since HTE was -clearly- not going to give me my refund, I decided I was done asking for a refund and said I wanted to move to arbitration. Which is in the contract I signed and something ELSE I'm entitled to should a "dispute arise under or concerning the agreement" They ignored my request in their response. So I asked for it again. In their next and final response to me, they mention something about my "threat of a lawsuit" and that they still weren't giving me my refund. Side Note - Isn't the whole point of arbitration to AVOID a lawsuit...? Isn't that the whole reason they put that in their contract in the first place? At that point the reality of it all was perfectly clear - anything in the contract that benefited them would be enforced, and anything that benefited me but hurt them was a bogus promise. So I reported them to the Better Business Bureau. Not surprisingly they have an F rating. Search the BBB for 7 Figure Coach Worldwide Inc in Florida (the business listed in the bottom of Tara's website as well as the bottom of the HTE website). My next stop is the Federal Trade Commission, because their sales tactic to get me into the program WAS fraudulent misrepresentation. Research on the matter show there are 6 bars to clear to be considered fraudulent misrepresentation: 1. A representation was made; ( ✅ yup) 2. The representation was false; ( ✅ yup) 3. The defendant knew at the time that the representation was false, or recklessly made the statement without knowledge of its truth; ( ✅ yup) 4. The representation was made with the intention that the plaintiff would rely on it; ( ✅ yup) 5. The plaintiff did rely on the false representation; ( ✅ I trusted him and signed the contract) and 6. The plaintiff suffered harm by relying on the false representation. ( ✅ and YUP) The guarantee is a trap to get you IN the program with the ILLUSION of a safety net. It's fake. It's predatory. It's a lie to make people feel safe parting with money they literally can't afford to part with otherwise.

It has taken me 8 months to emotionally recover from my traumatic experience at High Ticket Empress after being financially frauded, gaslit about it, & then iced out of the program only 1 month into a 3-month long, $9,800 program. I have finally regained the strength to write about my experience, but will keep it as unemotional and factual as possible in order to protect my emotional well-being: I agreed over the phone to pay HTE $9,800 total for the program, split over two payments a month apart. However, there was a misunderstanding over the phone & they wrote in the contract that I would pay $10,800. Immediately upon signing the contract (an entire day before I even had any access to any of the course modules / Facebook group / coaching calls / etc.), I let the sales person & rest of the team know that there had been a mistake & that they added an extra $1,000 to what I had initially agreed upon. They told me not to worry & promised to fix it upon the second payment. However, when the time came, they did not rectify the mistake (despite us being in contact about our plan all that month); instead, they charged me the extra $1,000 despite our agreement. I disputed this charge with my credit card &, after much back-and-forth, they were forced to return the $1,000 to me. However, once this occurred (1 month into the 3-month program), they completely iced me out & stopped coaching me. While I still have access to the modules (since I hadn’t spoken out publicly until now…I have been told from others that HTE deletes anyone’s access to the modules if they write a negative review or stand up against the bullying and unethical behaviors of its founder, Tara Mullarkey, in any way), they stopped responding to me on the personal coaching Slack channel, erased me from the group Slack channel, were not welcoming on the coaching calls, & later deleted me from the Facebook group which I was under the impression I'd have lifetime access to. Besides those more obvious wrongdoings, this company also acted out of alignment with integrity in many other ways. For instance, the contract says the Slack coaches would get back to the clients within 48 hrs max- that was not always the case, and many times they would only get back to you to say you should ask them again on the coaching call in a week (48 hrs already feels like a long time when you are on a roll with trying to grow your company, but having to wait a week for just a couple minutes with a coach on a 2+ hr group call can really stop any momentum in its tracks). They also promised me on the initial sales call that I would have access to one-on-one calls with my own personal coach – however, they apparently decided to discontinue that feature immediately after I joined the program. They are also misleading in their marketing - making the program seem much less intense than it is, & even allowing beginners into the course, even though it is incredibly advanced (&, since I was iced out, I was unable to figure out ClickFunnels & Facebook ads from their modules alone—which they claim you should be able to do--& ended up needing to hire outside help to get it running). Another marketing angle that they used was that HTE is a woman’s empowerment program…however, not only did the program exemplify the exact opposite of that in general through their belittling, bullying, & gaslighting behavior, but when I joined, there seemed to be more men who were a part of their team than women (or at least an equal amount), which is probably fine for some people, but I was specifically looking to work w/ women & I mentioned this on my sales call (to the male salesperson) who did not alert me that this program wouldn’t be what I was looking for then. The coaches also tend to shame and gaslight their clients, & ice out those who hold them accountable to their word--to the point where many other clients have reached out to me about it, stating that they are afraid to speak out against them for fear of being shamed. I also know that this company bribes for positive reviews). I could keep going about the reasons that this company is out of integrity, but I won’t for my own soul’s sake. My hope is that this review can help at least 1 person from not experiencing the financial fraud & emotional distress that I went through with HTE. RESPONSE TO REPLY: I withdrew my comment re: Trust Pilot since I didn't realize TP deleted those reviews, not you. If you check the dates of your screenshots, you'll note that there was no coaching given AFTER you realized I was requesting a chargeback from the credit card company (granted, a couple days after the 1-month mark). Yes, I was blocked from Slack & FB. To call the $1,000 situation a "simple mistake" is a flat-out lie. I expressed dissatisfaction via Slack & email several times. Your next high-ticket program should be Gaslighting 101.

Tara and the supporting coaches in her program are SO knowledgeable! I was finally able to stop playing small. Within 2 weeks, I made $2500 on my first sale! I showed up to the calls, listened to others being coached, and did the work! I now have an offer I can scale!!! Worth it!!! If I could give 100 stars, I would!

If I could give a negative star amount I would. These reviews were solicited. Before Tara created a Sales Training, for which the price of admission was a review, she went from have 3 reviews (2 positive that came after her soliciting reviews in the slack channel and one very negative review from Nat) she shot up to 26 5-star reviews overnight. People who are in this program know there is no room to disagree with Tara. People were kicked out of the program for stating honest and very mild critique of the program. Because of this, these 23 reviews are inflated and only positive as opposed to being honest. This is dishonest solicitation and skewing of reviews. I know half of the women who did this and they now regret their positive reviews but are too afraid to edit them knowing that Tara has come after people’s businesses who publicly disagree with her. There have been BBB complaints filed yet scrubbed from the internet, a class action suit, formal complaints with the attorney general of her state, and multiple people requesting chargebacks/disputing the charges with their credit card companies because they are THAT unhappy – all factual things I wish I knew before investing. I actually won my dispute against this company and got my money back, which was a miracle. I didn’t know going into this program how misaligned my values were with Tara. I really did not want her to have my money. Not to mention I did not make any money with this program. I only lost money. My revenue also went down. I owe it to spending ALL of my time on this program for three months, using pushy marketing tactics, and not having the coaching support I needed to keep me aligned with the strategy that was best for me (not a broad, overarching plan that is supposed to “work” for everyone) and my goals. I can’t tell you how many times I left her calls crying from blatant abuse and continual gaslighting. I’m just glad I never got to the paid ads to sink even more money into this process with them. Tara is mean. The reviews of “she’s a straight shooter” are an understatement. People leave her calls crying and most people ultimately stopped submitting questions because they didn’t appreciate her tearing into their confidence without being built back up in any way. You’re only supported or cheered on when the program is working for you which is coincidentally when you need the least emotional support. If it isn’t working it’s your fault and you need to figure it out or get completely ridiculed on a call with Tara. I’m fine with tough love if it’s productive. This is NOT productive. Run. I have done coaching programs before with a ton of success. My first business coach and my first launch I made 15k my first month of sales and consistent 10k months after that, having just invested in another coaching program right before Tara that brought me my first 20k month. The moment I started implementing and trying to sell my new program via HTE my revenue went DOWN. It went from consistent 10k months and my first 20k month to a $2,500 month and the month after that, $0. Tara did NOT listen to me when I tried to tell her that pushy sales didn’t tend to work for me and that I felt like what I was doing before had actually been working better than this. She gaslit me and that was that. So yes, I made no money. I lost money off my monthly average (although thank goodness I ended up getting my chargeback come January) and honestly this program sent me into a deep depression kicked off by burnout and questioning my own sanity. There are now a ton of women coming out of this program offering eachother emotional support and who KNOW about the practices that happen within this company without a doubt, at that time I had to sit with this for weeks to feel into whether I was the problem or not. Sure, I can be the problem, but I was willing to get through that with coaching as I’ve done in the past with other coaches. I truly believe that if the coaching in this program had been different, my results would have been different, and that was a hard stop for me in questioning my sanity anymore. Please do yourself a favor and skip this program. Find someone who is honest, they exist. Find someone who cares about the outcomes of their clients. Find someone who can treat you with respect while pushing you to be their best. They exist, I’ve worked with quite a few at this point with better results than were possible here for the sole reason: those coaches cared.

Impressed with the focus on moving you forward! In HTE, we are required to submit very specific questions that help us with that one next step forward which really keeps the momentum going. In other coaching programs I’ve been in, advice was a bit general leaving me feeling scattered while this program was a lot more focused and intentional. I hit a $7500 a month while in the program which was my highest to date. The sales script we are given is invaluable and I felt like that gave me the confidence to close potential clients more successfully. I also really benefited from the sales call reviews that we did as practice makes perfect and seeing what you could have done better is really eye-opening. I created a group program when I wasn’t really sure how that would look before I got into HTE and I’m excited to continue enrolling new clients into this offer!
