I signed up for the course but did not…
I signed up for the course but did not pay the full amount and decided to do so in installments. I think there is a lot of hype around the product but to be honest I felt isolated. I tried to enter the facebook group and was not accepted in for some reason even after paying an installment. I was given 2 modules which are just about affirmations and Napolean Hill tips. I mean if you are just trying to learn how to get more clients just use facebook and start your own ad campaign. After a day I was not happy and asked for my money back and they were unwilling to do so. I honestly do not even think or believe Vanessa Simpkins is real. This is not a mean review its just the honest truth about how I feel about her business. I would have appreciated a personal call from Vannessa instead of having her workers call me. It was just an overall impersonal experience and I felt isolated. It is like if you do not pay the full 5,000$ upfront just do not do it because they will ask you for an installment only to give you 2 modules of affirmations and nothing concrete to get the clients you need to make up for the cost of the course. I am very disappointed and this is a huge lesson that I am learning to not invest in these types of courses online because they are too good to be true. It is like they give you a little bit until you pay the full amount. Just be cautious and know that if you are paying someone 5,000$ to help you with your business you can always take that 5,000$ and spend it on ad revenue in facebook or youtube because that is the bulk of what they supposedly claim they will teach you. Her business model is a hustle and bustle business build on the vulnerability of women so just know that today it is easy to get clients but clearly hard to keep them. Buyer beware! Cheers!

Hello Grace, thank you for bringing this to my attention. What a lovely name you have GRACE. I am so sorry you felt isolated and mmm maybe not important enough to receive a personal phone call from me at the time of your experience. It’s important to address ALL feelings as VALID regardless of any FACTS and opinions, because opinions are NEVER facts. Running a team of 30 people and managing over 100 clients per year made the kind of personalized attention from ME impossible, as it’s a mastermind you signed up for and NOT 1-1 coaching. To address students personally inside the mastermind I reserved Monday morning ZOOM meetings Q & A style to answer questions and sometimes these meetings lasted 3 hours to make sure everyone’s questions were answered. I understand your standards and expectations were not met. I hired people to address customer concerns for that reason so clients always felt seen and heard. Your judgment of my program after only 2 modules is what it is. You are certainly allowed to have any opinions AND the fact is you DID NOT even GLIMPSE at the entire 130 course lesson library. So your judgement abut my entire program based on the first 2 foundational mindset modules about is well… what it is. Curious were you able to get into the Radical Honesty, Radical Responsibility & Radical Self Love concepts & principals? I am sorry you had trouble getting into the fb group, that can happen and has happened OFTEN, fb can be glitchy sometimes …. which is why we always had a 90 minute 1-1 call set up as an onboarding call with a Mindset mentor right away during the first few days of client enrollment to ensure people knew and understood how to access support, the content dashboard, the fb group and support inside the program from the mentors, tech specialists, fb ads, mindset, marketing & sales departments offered during the 90 day mastermind program. Curious did you do your 90 minute 1-1 enrollment call or? We offered payment plans to help people GET started and often many of our clients who applied the content and participated and asked for help actually made sales within 30 days some within 48 hours of implementing very simple things like making offers on social media things they never had either the courage or skill set to do before and this allowed them to continue investing into more learning new skills training provided by my company. We also only unlocked content based on people completing their agreed upon payment plan, which clients signed before enrolling to prevent this kind of “oh I just made a big investment” and I want to back out now because of resistance and fear which is often what sabotages unconsciously people not just women from actually following through on the decision they make. And we did this because we had people coming into the program, downloading all the content and then asking for refunds right away without even being able to digest the content, so we stopped that and solved that problem by unlocking content & offering payment options for people who couldn’t afford the program but wanted to join. I later stopped running the 10k mastermind because I turned it into an affordable self study course for everyone to be able to purchase without a hefty price tag and STILL teach a lot of that SOUND marketing, sales, & mindset mastery skills to 1-1 clients today in 2024. I can assure you I am a very real person and am happy to get on the phone you and address any other concerns you STILL might have.
