Scam! The real risk isn’t just losing money, it’s letting the wrong people damage your credibility.
The real risk isn’t losing money, it’s letting the wrong people damage your credibility. I paid over $6,000 after Speakhyve marketed itself as a system that would "book speaking engagements, handle outreach for you, and create opportunities through automation." All statements from their website! What actually happened was the opposite. The automated outreach was poorly targeted and careless, resulting in negative replies and requests to stop emailing. When automation speaks on your behalf, your name is on every message. Once that trust is broken, the damage is immediate. Money can be replaced. Credibility cannot! In an industry filled with polished promises, screenshots, and big claims, this was a painful reminder that outsourcing your voice to the wrong system can quietly undo years of work. Proceed with extreme caution.

We take client results and satisfaction very seriously, and we believe in transparency. Here are the facts regarding David Armstrong’s engagement with Speakhyve. David’s review relies on the claim that the automated outreach was poorly targeted, resulting in hurting David’s reputation. Mr. Armstrong’s claim of “poorly targeted outreach” is contradicted by his own documented statements made during the engagement period (July - December 2025). David acknowledged in writing, on recorded calls, and through visible system activity that: The system was generating leads. He had booked calls with prospects. He had an active high ticket opportunity with a city mayorAnd had even closed a free / low-paid opportunity. Additionally, no reputation damage occurred in any way. Prospects asking to be removed from a list or declining interest are expected and standard in any cold outreach campaign. David refused to engage with the program: he didn’t watch ANY training videos, skipped all 4x weekly training calls for 5 months, and avoided our core client support channels that all other clients use. Furthermore, there were several scenarios where leads went unanswered for days, and were never followed up with. Despite all this, to ensure his satisfaction, our founder personally met with David 1 to 1 multiple times. After each call, David expressed satisfaction with the plan moving forward. David chose to file a dispute/chargeback, which we responded to with a 17-page document demonstrating full delivery of services. After reviewing the evidence, his own bank ruled in our favor and denied his claim in 2026. We’ve processed over 1500 client payment transactions and this client is our only chargeback…and we won. While some of David’s initial campaigns underperformed (which is standard in cold outbound optimization), his lack of results is not a reflection of Speakhyve’s system…it’s a reflection of his lack of action, and refusal to follow our proven process. Speakhyve is a marketing system, not a magic potion. Results require client participation: responding to leads, following up with prospects, and engaging with relevant training. Most entrepreneurs understand that effort on their end is required to see outcomes. The facts don’t match this review. We saved every call, message, video, and deliverable - including his contradictory statements. We stand behind what we delivered. We’re happy to share additional case studies.
