Red flags
- "Last cohort ever," and then there is another one in March
- Are the "success stories" just people now selling the same course?
- Does the "required" software pay them a commission?
- If it really makes that much, why are they selling it to you?
- Is that "£9,997 value" real, or invented so the price feels like a rescue?
- Is that supercar, and the mansion behind it, rented by the hour?
- The rags-to-riches story is a sales tool, not a credential
- When it does not work, do they blame the method, or blame you?
- Why am I even seeing this? The funnel that found you
- Why do they make you "apply"? The free call is the sales call
