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.
