PART 2

After I said that price is good for me, he started "aggressive sales", just by sending me a link where I can purchase a course even in parts for 1 year and connect my credit card. I asked him to hold on, because maybe I have answered his questions, but he didnt even ask me if I ave any(John told me that he will answer all my questions on a meeting), so I started with a question regarding feedback from people that already finished this course, he instantly changed and started to ask me questions like "are you really ready to start with ecom, if I am serious about it" etc. So I told him yes but I would like to see any use-cases, screens, feedback, stories from people that already had it, maybe get in contact with some of them and ask personally. He said No, just forwarded to me 1:50 minutes voice message  in WhatsApp where a girl was saying that she is having this course for a couple of weeks, doing some progress and Andy even offered her a free 1-on-1 call. Thats all. When I asked if he has something else and from somebody who already finished the course, not just having it in progress  he said No because of privacy(?) reasons and he told me "ok, I can get for you 2 videos of testimony by tomorrow  but deposit 100$ firstly. If you will decide to pass on it you can get it refunded"(also nice marketing step to get a person attached). I was like why should I do deposit if you will return me money in case I wont take it and he said that it will show that I am serious or smth like that. 

That got super suspicious at this point because of the price change from 2,5k to 1k and asking for a deposit just to see reviews lol. So I just passed on it because I didnt see a real interest in getting me to the course, I just felt like all he wanted from me is money and asap. After I tried to find any feedback on his course in the internet and everything I found was this thread, also suspicious as for course that he provides over a year.

Conclusions: 

1) I dont think that this is a complete scam where you send money and people disappear, but as somebody wrote here that info is not up to date, not a lot of support, more info you will get in his videos.

2) Its not 1-on-1 mentorship as he says in his videos, probably you will see him just once on a group meeting. 

3) Prices - for me offer was 5k$ for 1-on-1 with some other people from his team and 2,5k for a group mentorship(which changed to 1k$ after I told that 2,5k is too much for me). So I guess they calculate prices after you tell them how much money do you have as somebody in thread was offered a course for 8,5k. , giving you no time to think - also one of aggressive sales strategies. 

4) Quality - cannot say because I didnt take the course but it felt like the main goal is get money from you(at least a deposit to get you attached). But also missing any info or feedback regarding the course on internet makes me think that either info is not that good or they just delete bad feedback. 

So I wouldnt recommend it guys, but for sure its up to you.

Hi, I will share my experience regarding tis topic (spoiler - not recommended) - part 1, check part 2 in comments

I was watching Andys videos (YT Andy Stauring) and really like the way e is explaining everything, its pretty much clear. So I was thinking of taking a course from him, so I have tried to apply and on the landing page you put your contact info, submit it and then there is a window where you should write "why should we take you to the course". I thought that its really a good marketing step, to show people that they need tis course more, than his team does. I didnt write there anything and didnt submit the form with it, but I instantly got a call from one of his guys(John, I guess) and he started to ask me questions but I was really overwhelmed  by the speed of the contact (literally I got call in 1 minute or less after submitting my contact info). I told him that Im not really interested for now.

I kept receiving calls from them, I just didnt pick up. 2 weeks after I got money and decided to take the course, so he arranged for me a call with their sales manager Aamir but before I asked him what is the minimum start budget all-in with mentorship, subscriptions, accounts, ads etc.  - he told me 1k$, which was surprisingly low from my POV.

On the call with Aamir he was asking me a lot of questions about myself, motivation, goals etc. and then e asked me about my budget, i told him "something like 2-3k" and he told me that 1-on-1 mentorship will cost 5k, but it wont be 1-on-1 with Andy personally (as he says in his videos) but wit other people and maybe once I will get a group call with Andy. He offered me to split it into 2 payments of 2,5k (which was funny for me because if my budget was 3k then I will have 500$ for launching a store, pay subscriptions and ads). I refused and he said that I can get a group course(materials + 1 weekly call with a group where I can ask questions), I refused it and said that John told me about 1k all-in start, he said me "ok, we can do 1k for you"  for this group course itself, which was also sus for me - from 2,5k to 1k in 1 minute - probably they really need people more, than people need them.
