I was quite intrigued by the program and was excited to start it. After I watched the initial videos, sent to me, I decided to research some reviews. After reading a couple reviews it was clear there was more money to be invested than is initially insinuated.
The program looks sound, but more than twice I've seen where a couple hundred dollar investments quickly turned into $6,000 investments that individuals were not expecting. Where in the beginning they pitch to people who are "living paycheck to paycheck" and "have no savings" I find it odd that they would promote a program that would require such a large investment, that people clearly would not have. Again, as I stated the program sounds logical and useful in theory and I do understand at the end of the day it is a business,...but perhaps offering a multi tier program for affordable progression would be more logical.
I inquired about these hidden fees and what my current financial situation is and they did not even respond. So, there is even more hesitation on my part now.
So, I would just suggest to anyone who is struggling financially and is looking for that "quick fix" be sure to do your research. Programs like this are not in that category but still can be a tad misleading in the presentation as to what your up front investment will end up being.
Just a thought.

Seems Excellent But More Than I Can Afford
I recently applied and finished the Modern SDR Initiative program, which cost $264 plus another $97 charge. Initially I was under the impression from my emails that I was starting the main program at a discount, but upon finishing all 16 of my Initiative courses, my Client Success Manager informed me that the Initiative was only a condensed version of the main program and doesn't have as many benefits, help or information as the central program, also known as The Modern SDR 3.0 as of this time of writing. Unfortunately, I applied for the Initiative program because I thought from my emails that I was receiving a specialty sale of the central program, not a pregame version, so I am disappointed that I do not have full access to all of the resources to help me become a High Ticket Closer. That being said, the Initiative does offer direct links to connect you with business owners in need of closers and Kekoa also supplies a rough template of what to say during a phone call to close on a deal, including in a written document, so you are not left completely in the dark even without the full program. Without having any of the information from the main program, however, I am not feeling as confident as I probably should in my ability to know where to start or next steps moving forward, as I do not have any experience in sales. The speakers, presenters and Client Success Managers seem amazing and I feel like I would have a wonderful time working with them and being able to ask questions. They are all very nice and very patient, and present information in a very clear and concise way. Kekoa himself is also directly involved in speaking to new students and answering questions, which I think is amazing. After I finished the Initiative program and spent $361 on it though, I felt crushed when I learned that the main program costs $6,000 or potentially more depending on the circumstances, and I had applied to this program because I am currently unemployed and have been struggling to find a job. I am 24 and have no work experience due to unforeseen circumstances being diagnosed with MS when I was 17, and that has made finding work very hard, especially as someone who does not have any work experience (and employers require that you have experience just to gain experience). I simply cannot afford the $6,000 price tag for the central program and I am sad that I cannot continue on the trajectory I started with in the Initiative. I hope that a lower price point could be offered to those who are not in the best financial situation so that they still have an opportunity to learn and grow from the program, or even a version that is free for a few months and can be paid back once you start earning money as a closer. The program seems like it would be an amazing opportunity, but I am feeling heartbroken that I cannot continue it.

Hey Austin!
First and foremost, I want to extend my deepest appreciation for the time and effort you invested in sharing your detailed feedback about the Modern SDR Initiative program.
We understand the importance of clear communication and regret the misunderstanding that arose about the differences between the Initiative and the main program.
It’s genuinely heartening to read that you found value in the content we provided in the Initiative program, and that you had a positive interaction with our program, presenters, and Client Success Managers.
Your acknowledgment of Kekoa’s direct involvement emphasizes our commitment to ensuring every student feels supported and engaged.
I deeply empathize with your current situation, especially in light of the personal challenges you’ve faced. Our primary goal is to empower our students, and we’re sorry to hear that the main program’s cost is a hurdle for you at this time.
Lastly, we encourage you to stay connected with us and our community. Networking with others who have gone through the program might provide you with tips, resources, and potential job opportunities as well.
Thank you once again for your feedback!
Cheers,
The Modern SDR
