Review of Lead Gen Jay


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Never completed Job, Results abysmal while demanding Testimonials

UPDATE: This owner has responded publicly and repeatedly to my honest review — at one point naming me in full and linking to a page he built about me by name, alongside a YouTube video targeting me over a single review. That a business owner would put that kind of energy into one client's review tells you a lot.

Most businesses, faced with an unhappy customer who paid $10,000, would simply refund and move on. Instead, the response is a public campaign.

On his "harassment" claim: I was emailed repeatedly over several days, including all weekend, pushed for a testimonial before the job was even finished — offering incentives in exchange, which Trustpilot and the FTC prohibit. When I declined and asked to see actual click and sales numbers first, the work stopped.

I requested a refund early on and received only dismissive responses.

After this review went up, he cut off my access to a separate course I had paid $1,000 for in full, and blocked my emails.

The "fellow business owner" he pushed on me charged $3,500 for a funnel build, kept $2,600, and walked off the job half-finished — no completed funnel, no testing, no GHL email replies. Notably, Jay himself reviewed the contract and the unfinished work, agreed I was owed a refund, and messaged the designer several times telling him to refund me - I have the email correspondence confirming Jay agreed with me. The designer never refunded me.

He cites an "8% reply rate," but those were mostly angry established authors reacting to the wrong audience being targeted, plus unsubscribes and out-of-office auto-replies — not genuine interest.

He also claims he closed a deal in the first week; there was a sale, but I confirmed with that customer directly that they came in through another happy customer, not his campaigns. He never even installed lead tracking in the autoresponder, as any professional would — I added that myself later in the n8n automation.

The only number that matters to an entrepreneur is click rate to your offer, and that completely failed: barely 0–1 clicks per day on a $10,000 campaign that took five months to set up.

THE FACTS & BREACH OF CONTRACT:

I paid $10,000 on January 22 for a lead-gen service promised within a few weeks. It dragged on five months and was, at best, half-completed.

Promised vs. delivered:

1 - 50,000 leads uploaded to campaigns — never delivered. At most half, and the first batch used the wrong list (2/3 established authors on a campaign meant for non-authors), producing angry replies.

2 - Split-testing and fine-tuning of audiences, copy and angles — none, at all, despite his sales page clearly promising it. Just two basic campaigns, launched May 18.

3 - A tested, functioning campaign generating leads month after month, per the sales page — never delivered.

4 - He also discarded the reverse lead magnet I had built, which was already working, and insisted on a new one that recipients then complained about. His email copy had me claim I'd reviewed each person's LinkedIn "and had some ideas" — output that was clearly AI-generated, which annoyed recipients and damaged my reputation with the very audience I was trying to reach.

Timeline:

First campaign didn't arrive until March, with the wrong list. The staffer responsible then went silent, never replied, and didn't even turn off the campaigns.

A second staffer made further errors and went two weeks without replying.

On March 22, after I insisted, Jay took over himself — then was largely unavailable for nearly two months. He hadn't reviewed my site or demo videos and assumed I ran a high-ticket PR service for CEOs, when it's a low-ticket online course.

He tried to charge $2,000 extra to wiggle out of an automation he'd promised on January 27 and again on video, until I produced the videos as proof. That automation was buggy and didn't work for over a week; I had to fix it myself.

Last week I found the wrong list had been uploaded again — more angry replies. I notified Jay immediately and flagged that the 50,000 leads were never delivered.

A week later: nothing.
This is a documented breach of contract on a $10,000 program. I stand by every word.

NOTE: Trustpilot's own "Transparent Flagging" data on this company's profile (under the "Flagging" tab) is worth a look: it has flagged 7 reviews a total of 12 times, every one of them negative — and of the reviews it got removed, all came down because the reviewer stopped responding to the repeated flags, none because a review was actually found to breach the rules. I'd encourage readers to check it themselves.

Reply from Lead Gen Jay

Ok guys - here are the facts. Thank you for giving me the benefit of the doubt.

Search "Lead gen jay 1 star review" on google to see details and screenshots.

- Client was passed between 4 of my staff because they were unbearable so I took over myself
- 2 other companies contacted me and shared screenshots of this client doing this same thing to them. Wait till you see these emails!
- They actually got AMAZING results. 8% reply rate. Deal closed in week 1 of sending.
- We built this client an AI reply engine AND a SaaS lead magnet
- They left this review after we refused to continue providing them services after the contract ended.

Their demands became impossible. This was inevitable.

Thanks for trusting me. This breaks my heart.
