Promise of Guarantee Unfulfilled
[Updated Review September 19,2023]
Growth University made some bold promises that ultimately went unfulfilled.
I paid $10,000. They promised me a 7-figure marketing plan that would guarantee ROI of at least 5 new clients within the first 90 days (15+k EUR). I was so excited that I even agreed to write a glowing 5-star review for them here on Trustpilot. However, things didn't go as promised.
I followed their marketing plan, seeking their approval for every step. However, despite my work done & approved by my mentor, the plan did not yield any results.
Later on, it became evident that the initial plan they had presented was far from realistic.
So before the 90-day ROI guarantee milestone, they dramatically changed the plan to a 6-figure plan and expanded on tasks to be done.
I did not agree with the update, of the plan.
When I attempted to request a refund, they informed me that I couldn't do so because I had already approved their original plan on May 11th.
They also announced to me that since the plan was changed, they reset the ROI guarantee as well, so now I am not able to ask for an ROI refund since I did not execute their newly updated plan.
All without me approving or disapproving the updates.
I wanted to get on a call with them to discuss this privately, but they stopped communicating with me and deactivated my account.
This left me feeling not only disappointed but also deceived.
It's disheartening when a company makes bold guarantees, only to fall short of delivering on their promises.
My hope is that my experience serves you as a cautionary tale, urging others to approach such guarantees from Growth University with skepticism.
EVIDENCE
I created a video review, and document with evidence containing our email communication, their marketing plan for me, my work done + results with numbers, and communication where I was applying for a refund guarantee.
However, after submitting the review, I found out that Trustpilot does not allow me to add links to the review.
If needed, I can provide more information with evidence if Trustpilot will allow me to do so.

I really liked Matt's supportive & patient approach to replying to my long questions and concerns.
In the end, he turned all those into a marketing plan that "made me cry"/made me really excited about what is coming and what is reasonable to expect to happen if I follow the plan. I didn't even expect that this business had such potential.

The coaching was fantastic
The coaching was fantastic, and the support I received to help me reach my goals was terrific. You also have to be ready and willing to put in the effort to reach your goals, but with their system and their support, there is no reason you will not achieve them.

My experience with the Growth Tools…
My experience with the Growth Tools team has been amazing. I have taken several courses and tried different coaches and in this unique program I feel seen and heard completely. From the discovery call to the onboarding to the coaching I have felt supported. I am normally a slow to warm up person but the space the team has created has allowed me to jump in fully. I highly recommend Growth University!

Growth Tools pays for itself.
Growth Tools pays for itself.
I started working with Growth Tools about 6 months ago. Within the first 2 weeks they had completely evaluated my business and put together a plan to help us 10x our membership.
Throughout the program, they have provided step-by-step education and coaching. As my business and needs have evolved, they've evolved along with me.
For example, at the start of this year, I shifted into planning the launch of my new book The Trading Mindwheel. Growth Tools helped me develop the book site (I'd share a link but trustpilot doesn't allow it in reviews) prep for and launch a virtual conference for the book, pitch speakers, get book launch partners, and so much more.
On day 1, The Trading Mindwheel was #1 on Amazon's hot list. Growth Tools played a major role in making that happen.
The support Growth Tools provides is phenomenal and I can't recommend them enough.

A Tough Start With an Excellent Outcome
I struggled during the first ten months of my one-year agreement with Growth University. My husband experienced a sudden and serious health crisis, and I had to have foot surgery, which put me in a non-weight-bearing cast for several weeks.
I was delayed in getting started, but even after I watched the videos and completed most of the Playbook assignments, I felt stuck, frustrated, and embarrassed that I had spent so much money on the program.
I couldn't see how following the steps was going to help me accomplish my goals.
II was almost at the end of my one-year contract when Michael Sharkey was appointed as my coach. Michael took the time to listen, to ask questions, and to really understand the program I had created for family caregivers.
He encouraged me to skip several of the Playbook assignments and change my marketing and sales strategy.
His confidence in me and his straightforward guidance gave me the direction, insights, and energy I needed to forge ahead.
He helped me think big and transition from selling to mostly small nonprofit organizations to large corporate clients. In the last several months, I have booked significant contracts with three Fortune 500 companies.
I bought the Growth Tools program shortly after it started. If I had done a little more research, I would have realized the program wasn't the right fit for me at that time.
However, I don't regret my investment because of the guidance and coaching I received from Michael. If the company continues to provide focused one-on-one support, I believe it could be a good investment for a lot of entrepreneurs.

Elaine, we're so sorry to hear that there were some initial bumps in the road! While there are foundational principles and strategies that are generally helpful for the majority of businesses, we know that tailoring and modifying to suit the individual needs of each business is crucial. We are so glad that Michael was able to do that for you and quickly help you turn things around with a new strategy that brought results!
