"When I was first starting my Real Estate career in 2011, Mary was one of the first people I created a business relationship with. She was aggressive in her approach but not overly aggressive, she gave me the necessary push to help get me in a position to receive positive financial results. Over the years that I was working with her, Mary helped keep me competitive in the market. I enjoyed hearing what new product her company had available and how it could beneficial to me. Mary was one of the main reasons I kept investing in Realtor.com. Disclaimer** This review is aimed toward Mary Padilla and my past relationship with her as an employee of Realtor.com. I have not worked with her at Tom Ferry, nor do I know much about his coaching. read more

In my personal experience, many of the positive google reviews seem questionable, so I recommend reading them carefully before signing up.(Yelp reviews is only two stars) I wasn't told that once you join, you are committed to a 12-month contract, and they will not refund your money--even if you cancel within the first week. I paid $750 for the first month, but after realizing the program was not what I expected, I requested a refund and was denied. The coach I was assigned felt unprofessional and unreliable, and the support I expected was not provided. Another thing that caused confusion is the name. I was originally looking for Mike Ferry Organization, but this program is from Tom Ferry International. Because they both use the name "Ferry," it can easily confuse people who are new to real estate coaching. I recommend doing careful research before signing up and fully understanding the contract terms.Don't waste your money and your energy,you deserve better! read more

Ferry International - I only used 7days for the program Revii,which I only for 7days ,you charged$750! Don't go Tom Ferry - Career Counseling Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I love Tom Ferry training, the success summit was Amazing. Yet the onboarding team managed to ruin the experience. After 3 failed couches and when I mentioned I am quitting the program, they paired me with a great coach. Unfortunately the year ended with no results. Tom I am sure you don't read those messages, but if you do; they are ruining the TF experience Still thank you read more

I am an independent agent and own my real estate company. I was ready to on board agents and grow my business. After being invited by a title company to a Tom Ferry event, I was introduced to the coaching program and thought it was the right time to invest. What a waste of money. The explanation of what they deliver sounds amazing but the actual product of what they provide wasn't a match. I was promised I would not have to reinvent the wheel, other agent's successful tools would be available to me. When it came time to upgrade my listing presentation, there was nothing that truly helped. I was on my own again. I have a lot of specifics and examples but the summary is that the actual coaching was not effective and it was nothing that real estate agents don't already know. Create and work your CRM. That was my very expensive coaching lesson. read more

I tried the program, I have a full time job, which they ensured me they could work around and accommodate to ensure my success. Even after asking for high accountability from a coach, I felt alone. I would not recommend to any new agent. You are better off joining a team who will have all the same resources and better guidance. read more

I'm a seasoned solo agent and my business was down about 90%. Nothing seemed to be working so I reached out to the TF organization. They said if I was not happy I would get my money back. That did not happen and I am very unhappy. Make sure you get that in writing from them before you sign. I thought the coaches were not very good, subpar at best Same old thing, cold call. knock on doors, call your past clients etc. I have been doing that for years and didn't need them telling me. I wanted to know what the big money earners were doing that was different and not one coach could help. I was even without a coach for 1.5 months. My last coach was like having a therapy session. I take my hat off to Tom Ferry as he has a great business going for "himself." They have what are called Summits you can attend..yea for a few thousand bucks. Save your money. Today you can get all kinds of coaching free on Google, youtube etc. Just do what you do best. This organization will have you try so many things you just get confused. I'm glad I am done with this group. read more

Some people are coachable. Some are not. I'm somewhere in between. When I signed up, I shared the areas I most wanted help with; TF assigned me to the perfect coach, Marna Friedman. She has been amazing and has offered many suggestions for me to grow my business. She is receptive to my feedback, she is flexible and always responsive, even outside our scheduled calls. Every coach is different, just like every one of us is different. I was told from the get-go that if I wasn't hitting it off with my coach, I could request a new one. Some agents request new coaches, even if they like their coach...sometimes you need a change to take you to the next level. The key is to be receptive and perceptive...and take action. It won't work if you don't do it. As for resources, there are way more resources than I can take advantage of. I love Tom Ferry and am so glad I took the plunge and signed up. My business is way more organized, and I have a better sense of where I want my business to go. Am I there yet? No. But I'm getting there. How quickly I progress is up to me. read more

There is a reason there are only 3.5 stars with Tom Ferry Coaching and, frankly, that seems a bit high. In short, it is a complete bait and switch tactic to get you onboard. They promise resources, templates, etc. however, there are very few and what is available is outdated and not fit for today's world of real estate. Even though resources are promised (on the top tier plan) they make you pay for additional items if you want more. Waste of your time and money. read more

If I could leave no stars, I would. I signed up for coaching to invest in my business and was told all this feel good junk just to get me onboard. I was also told that I could get out of it easily if it wasn't working for me. It has been an absolute nightmare from the start. $749mo comes out whether you talk to your coach or not. I haven't talked to my coach in a month and a half! I have called multiple times and have had no luck cancelling. The most pushy/tacky customer service gaslighting me and disregarding any reasons I have for cancelling. $749mo gets you 2 30 minute calls each month. That's $749hr! I told them that if I'm paying anyone $749hr at this point, it will be to an attorney to get me out of this horrible program. Please, Please, Please stay away! read more

It's clear the TF program has had success hence why I am giving them 2 stars. Just NOT for me. Being in the industry of course Tom Ferry training comes up everywhere. I caved and called. I had a magnificent conversation with Cheryl and was beyond excited. That has and was the only part I enjoyed since. Cheryl told me don't worry you have basically a week to think about it. Monday is a holiday so you have until Friday if you change your mind mind. Perfect! Well I had my first call Tuesday with someone to go over the site. The girl was sweet but her "boyfriend " whom was also working from homes conversations and laughter was interesting during our call. Whatever given the times we all have to work from home... but really?! Next we get the call from Doug... quick maybe 15 questions-Max to place me with my coach that I'm paying 7100 for. Not a personality test, no research done on my social media etc. Says "is that it"?...lol i don't know, Doug I'm coming to you for help. I don't know what questions you need to know?!? Lol Doug tells me I'm probably going to hear from someone else for more questions. As you may know by now my 4 days are almost up. Sherry calls... Sherry reiterates what Doug asked and confirms my answers lol. 20 minutes later my coach is assigned! Yay!! Right?! Then I get this text message.. already feeling like what the hell is this company doing??... here comes this generic pre-recorded video from my coach. Inorganic, uncomfortable, stiffening and rolling her eyes to get through it... telling me how excited she is to work with "ME"... YOU CANT BE SERIOUS! For the amount I am paying you can't take a minute out of your day to personalize a message to me lol.?!? At least make me feel halfway sold here. So of course I do my research. Now my question here is wouldn't you want to be impressed by your coach? I would! Looking her up since that was so easy.. we're in the same state. She's a broker and sells in a way different market from me. I could go into detail down into numbers and her social media but clearly it was enough to make me feel taken advantage of and that this is a waste of my money. After sitting on it for a little at the 11th hour I emailed Cheryl that I have chosen not to move forward. Now let's be clear here... the mere fact that I'm even here writing this is ANNOYING. However, Cheryl and Sherry are IGNORING my emails because I decided I'm not moving forward and would like To be reimbursed.We are now on Tuesday... the coach even reached out to me yesterday for a call. I told her I emailed and I'm not moving forward with TF to please reach out to Cheryl and Sherry. Her response. "Ok." That's all I've gotten from anyone at TF. This has been disputed with my CC company. I can't now wait to go through weeks of wasting time getting my money back. If you're looking to get into TF coaching you better be 100% with NO expectations. This way you won't be so disappointed. read more

I have been a coaching student of Tom Ferry's program for the past several months and I've worked diligently to make my business successful. In October, my husband became critically ill with COVID-19 and nearly died. Additionally, I began having health issues that were challenging my ability to give my all to the program. None of this had anything to do with Tom Ferry's ability to fulfill their end of the contract. I had hoped they would be willing to at least extend my contract and put it on hold for me so I wouldn't lose my money and momentum. I just got off the phone with their team. I have often felt Ferry's mission should state, "We give more than we ever ask of you." I am in tears at the level of their integrity, kindness and compassion. I cannot put into words my appreciation and thanks. This is not about them "letting me off the hook." It is about their commitment to me as a human being. If you are considering signing on with the Ferry Organization, they are NOT pushovers. Expect them to COACH YOU TO SUCCESS. But they care, as well. Spend $10,000 and reap $20,000 of benefits. STUDENT FOR LIFE! Can't thank them enough! read more

I wish I would have came here and read some of this earlier. I see so many others who had such similar negative experience as I did right from the start with the bully on the free consultation. I was also scammed out of about 7K. I should have known better. The wonderful free material that TF puts out on YouTube is so helpful and really draws you into the program. It's a shame that it's nothing like what his video's make it seem. read more

Same experience as many people on this site. Im trying to cancel the contract that I thought was month to month, not yearly. They push an Ipad in front of you and give no time to read through the information, then quickly forward the the space for your cc number. I also signed up, then within a couple weeks my coach took two weeks off and another week off for an event which is a breach of contract with this amount of money. Then when I tried to cancel the woman was very rude, refused to cancel it and threatened to put it in collections. I was so upset I was roped into accepting another offer from them just in order to get the monthly payment down as I don't have the money to keep up with 1300 a month. I was telling her this and she just kept talking over me and saying it would destroy my credit if I don't pay the full contract amount. Bad business. read more

Please don't make the same mistake! This is 100% a scam and money grab for hard working real estate professionals trying to better themselves. I had an initial call with a representative two weeks ago. They've basically taken my money and ran with no customer support or relief in sight. Do you consider a binding twelve month agreement, made on COMPLETE misrepresentation and fabrication to be a scam? Most people would. The customer representative I spoke with told me that I would be connected with a personal coach that would do and be the following * Only works in my area and very educated on my market * coach who is also an active agent producing 50-100 homes a year themselves * the average agent on the Elite Agent coaching program produces $560 GCI *your coach will have you going on 7 listing appointments each week *only three people have ever requested a coach reassignment Guess which one of these is true. Yep. None of it. All lies on a recorded line. I spoke to my coach who I was assigned to 8-9 days after the first call (keep in mind cancellation needs to be within 3 days). My coach within the first 15 minutes admitted she had never worked with an agent in my market, and doesn't produce even close to what was said. She said someone would get back with me to discuss the discrepancies but no one ever did until I reached out again the following week. I spoke to the coach assignment person, she admitted that she did pull the initial call and I was in fact lied to. They unfortunately don't have any coaches in my area (at all). They wanted to connect me to a coach in a different market. When I asked what his qualifications were and track record in real estate, it turns out that they were less than mine! I pressed on the other lies and she said "that's above me but I will have someone call you today ". No call. I'm three weeks in now. Not a single coaching call. I put in a customer support ticket, 24-48 hr response time, 72hr later no customer support. Contract says if you cancel you are responsible for 12months anyway. I will be speaking to legal counsel. This is a nightmare and insane. read more

Lack of unprofessionalism, the company has grown so much, have no control any more....their team is unresponsive, to literally sign up and have to hunt them down to call you back....they do a great talk but delivery....don't waist your money, there are other coaches that care and are professional....they are full of excuses, they deserve a zero star....go some where else.....total disappointment....Tom never reaches out to his own clients either! read more

I wish I could give zero starts for Tom Ferry and his team - a complete disappointment from what I thought he and his company stood for! I have watched his videos for some months now, and found them motivating. My husband and I considered the coaching program and signed up for a free consultation. Justin was nice and friendly at first.. we had a 45 minute phone conversation in which he mostly asked about our sales tactics and talked about how their coaching would work for us (just a sales pitch the whole time, which was expected.) What I did NOT expect was the end of the phone call to go like this: Me: "Thanks for your time. I'm going to chat with my husband and do some further research and.. " Justin: "Research? What do you mean by research?" Me: "Well, I'm big on doing research and reading reviews before signing up for something, especially something that costs $8,000..." Justin (cutting me off): "Teresa, you don't need to do any research! Anyone can write anything online. Just look at the people in our company and their success.." Me: "Well I still need to talk with my husband, but I apprecia.." Justin: "Teresa, Teresa, Teresa, you know how we talked before about committed agents vs interested agents? Right now you are just sounding like an interested agent, not a committed one." REALLY? BECAUSE I WON"T GIVE YOU 8K OVER THE PHONE RIGHT NOW? Awful scam, red flags, holy moly. Find yourself a good local coach, save your money, forget this company ever existed. read more

I don't have time to detail my experience, but it's the same as all the other 1 star reviews here. It's been a couple years and I wanted to circle back. They made me take down my yelp review to "settle" with me for 6 months' fees instead of the full year after I complained about the scam I let myself get caught in. That sales consultation - take your time, sleep on it and read the fine print BEFORE you give them your cc number. That's all I need to say. And know when your "cancel without hassle" date is, but know that still may give you stress if you've already given a cc number. My 3 coaching sessions were a joke just like others have described, just read all the reviews! Oh, and check the BBB. read more

They walk the talk. They really do care about you. They give you the blueprint and walk through the process. I am in coaching and am very grateful for all they have done for me. Transparent, honest, sincere, and meet you where you are. He has great free resources online like YouTube podcasts blogs and on all his social media. He teaches to give, give, give and be of service. He models what he preaches. Summit 2019 was amazing. Learned a ton and I am a veteran to the industry. read more

I would not do business with Tom Ferry or his organization. This August I was watching a video of his, on his website. The chat lady popped up on the screen and I set up an appointment. The next day on the call the salesman presented the price at my request and I said yes to coaching but during the purchasing part of the call the salesman lied to me about figures and income of another agent (I asked specifically about the agent's name he threw out there) I know how many sales and money the agent makes. The sales person lied dramatically about the numbers and I was like no way and I checked the numbers again. So I cancelled the same day. I did as the cancellation told me to on the 3 day cancellation period, which is the Law. I had no intention of writing this review because I was hoping it was a fluke, but the "Manager" who called to save the deal blew off the fact that the salesman lied like it was no big deal. I also have not gotten my $3444.00 back its been over 10 business days. During this time Ferry's people have been attempting to get me to join coaching sessions and I have sent them several emails and text messages saying I cancelled the program. I even sent them certified mail with the cancellation form(sent the next business day) which they signed. I have taken alternative measures to retrieve my money if that doesn't work from the looks of the other yelp reviews there's enough people for what comes next. Please refund my money and an apology would be nice to thank you. read more

I signed up for Tom Ferry coaching after watching one of his Blueprint events. He offers a money back guarantee, saying that if you don't make 5x your investment back ($72,000) in GCI within the coaching timeframe, they will give your money back. Well, unfortunately I didn't hit that mark of additional GCI and for the past TWO MONTHS after my coaching ended I've been trying to get my money back, but to no avail. I honestly can't imagine what takes them so long to review your file and give you the money back. Why even offer this guarantee if you are just trying to get away with taking my money? The only reason I signed up for coaching was the guarantee. I assume many people are in the same boat. I didn't have an extra $14,000 laying around to throw away. Tom paints the picture in his sales pitch that him and his coaches have THE SECRET answer to help your real estate business. When it came down to it, most of what they told me to do was cold calling and spend thousands of dollars on advertising to get more business. It's like yeah, I could have done that on my own without giving you 14k. I really wish I would have read Yelp and BBB reviews before I signed up. Still hoping to get my money back but it might come to me having to take them to court. It's unfortunate but it is what it is. I wish they as a multi-million dollar company would stand by their word of the guarantee, where $14,000 means a lot more to me and my family than it does to them. Beware. read more

I can honestly say that coaching with Tom Ferry has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. My business doubled last year, thanks to the systems, creative marketing ideas and accountability you get from the coaching and the seminars offers (like Sales Edge, the Elite Retreat and the Summit). Since beginning coaching, My partner and I have hired two team members. The piece of advice I can give (this is what we did) is to attend an event like the Summit and spend the majority of the lunches talking to as many coaches as possible, so that you can request two or three coaches whom you would really like to work with. Our philosophy was, if we were going to pay top dollar for coaching we wanted to work with a coach that we connected with and that also inspired us. I hope my thoughts help! read more

I find Tom Ferry's videos and information helpful. Having that said, I wanted to enroll in the coaching program. It is a big investment, especially for those like me who are trying to get the feet wet in the business. I was still going to enroll anyways, since I am committed to making myself better and being a better real estate agent. What ultimately made me decided NOT to enroll in the program is the "coach consultant", or the salesperson who gave me a call for a "free coaching session". I do understand that it will lead to a sales pitch, but that's all it was. A sales pitch. The person actually asked me to take my credit card right now and sign the contract online. He kept cutting me off while I was talking. Again, I understand that he's trying to sell a service to me, as I do to my clients and customers. But he was way too pushy to a point that made me decide NOT to enroll in coaching. Also, I have seen reviews about past clients not being able to get refunds because they didn't attend the Success Summit (which one would need to pay separately to attend). I had brought that up, and the answer from the salesperson was that they are that confident in the program, and never had to refund anybody. And that was the last straw. As much as I want to try the coaching program, I am not willing to risk it with false promises. I needed an assurance, not false promises. read more

I've been in real estate since 2003 but joined Tom Ferry Your Coach in 2014. If I would've started with Tom Ferry from the start, my life would be very different by now. Not only is Tom's teaching of the nuts and bolts in programs like Breakthrough By Design absolutely vital, the networking with agents across the country and around the globe has been incredibly fruitful. I'm in weekly coaching, but I never "pay" for coaching...coaching pays for itself every year via the referrals I receive from the agents I meet. I always thought I was a positive person, but I had a lot to learn about mental toughness, perseverance, organization, and staying focused. If you want to become a success, you must surround yourself with successful, committed people. That's what the Tom Ferry organization has allowed me to do. I also love sharing with other agents, and I've become friends with some of the best agents in the nation. Thank you, Tom. And P.S. I'm not finished yet! read more

Ferry International - Tom Ferry has changed my career immensely. I see my future from a much higher perspective. Thanks Tom!! - Career Counseling Near Me - Santa Ana, California

STAY AWAY! In my experience, this service was a complete rip-off. I enrolled into the program on March 16, 2016 in order to accomplish the specific goal of bringing structure to my growing real estate career by creating a system that would allow me geographical mobility. The sales person and my coach at Tom Ferry promised this was possible through their system. This could not be further from the truth. The coach assigned to me was located in Mexico and even though she had real estate training she did not have direct practical experience and/or specific knowledge of the Miami and/or US market. Instead of helping me make my business model evolve, they suggested very outdated sales techniques such as: pasting a huge sticker on my car advertising my services, making people at Starbucks refer to me by my job title and door-knocking. Additionally, most coaching calls were very vague in content and creation or execution of business strategies. My coach, who was brand new to coaching at the time, rarely ever remembered what she had assigned to me on the preceding call and didn't follow up with my specific tasks to see if I was making progress. Even if it made no sense for my specific case, I still followed the majority of the assessments indicated by the coach such as: sent out post cards to specific farming area; held an open house (even though I worked mainly on the buyer side); completed all modules of Break Through By Design; continuously implemented powerful morning routine and affirmations; created Done, Doing, Done and Business Tracking boards; attended Sales Edge in Boston on February 2017 and spoke to at least 5 clients per day. However, a proper screening of work environment and legal regulations of different states was not taken in consideration at the time of the implementation of the assessments. The coach's main advice, knocking on doors, is very hard to perform in Florida, not only because of the high rise buildings' restrictions to have access to the properties but also because it might be considered solicitation, according to the Florida Statutes. In addition, the program's assessments encourages Tom Ferry coachees to spend a lot money on its partner companies (such as Zillow), instead of more effective and economic ways such as Facebook and/or social media ads. I completed the whole program for 12 months, as required by Tom Ferry, and since my coach or their system did not take into consideration my skills, background and market where I worked, I was not able to see any results and/or changes on my business with the coaching advice I was given. The Tom Ferry coaching program constitutes false advertisement. However, I was not able to exercise the money back guarantee of the program because it's designed to make it impossible to apply. Every person I spoke with at Tom Ferry had no interest in understanding what went wrong with my case in order to improve their services. I'm still seeking a full refund of the $7,188 paid over the course of 12 months and I will continue to take measures until I achieve so and this misleading service is either corrected or taken off the market entirely. read more

This program is a total scam. Loop you into a contract and not perform while asking to pay the full balance. I had a medical emergency with my daughter and had to shell out big bucks. THEY DO NOT CARE. Constant harassment throughout the year. They get you in like a Cult toying with your emotions. Get in with the group. There is no Code of Ethics or Honor involved within this organization. Just a drummed up show with lights and music. read more

I believe you need to hear my story before signing up for Tom Ferry Coaching. As I read the other reviews on this site. I really wish I had followed my own advice before making the mistake of signing up for this program without considering other peoples experiences. About 15 months ago I realized I was in a rut, Although I've made a decent living in real estate, I needed to fine tune my business in order to get to the next level. As I interviewed coaching companies I was very clear that I didn't need a cheerleader. I'm already motivated and eager to succeed. I needed someone to discuss every aspect of my business to help me make the best decisions about how to move forward. At the time I was a regular listener to the Tom Ferry Show and really liked the information provided on that free program. I thought a one on one program would have been even better. Long story short, I was bounced around to three different coaches all with different styles, Only one of them really ever got to know my business at all. And one of them was so unqualified to be a coach that she single-handedly set my business back months by convincing me to abandon my producing type of business to pursue another. I can hardly believe that I was willing to follow her advice but when you're paying big money for expert advice... Finally, I ended up with a coach willing to answer questions. I really had a different attitude by now and our calls were very different because I took control and asked my questions first. The remaining few months were a struggle since I had lost so much ground. I ended my first year of coaching with about 1/3rd fewer transactions than the previous 12 months. Here's the kicker. At the summit event we were all told that if we didn't improve our performance by at least 3 transactions, we'd get a full refund. Completely not true. The fine print states that if you complete 3 transactions total, then you do not qualify for the guarantee. What productive agent doesn't already to 3 deals per year? The guarantee is absolutely worthless. I had Tom's number and sent him a text and an email. To his credit, he did respond and thanked me for letting him know. He even said he was going to forward the email to the president of the company. That was the last contact I've had with them. That was several months ago. I have to tell how truly disappointed I am with the entire experience. I feel like I was misled to begin with and simply ignored when they should have stepped up. If you think about it, any company that has such a misleading guarantee does not have your best interests in mind. if you're considering coaching with the Tom Ferry Group, I truly believe you can expect the very same treatment that I and many many others have experienced. read more

I was so eager and pumped to get involved with the Tom Ferry coaching program, and definitely knew it would be quite an investment. I prepared to be pitched to and while having a timeshare background, I know a hard close when I hear one. And my 1st consultant Justin hit me with every guilt trip under the sun. I didn't sign up then, but signed up during a follow up 3 weeks later, more so because I WANT TO, and I have had faith in Tom Ferry because he is awesome at marketing and presenting himself. After reading these reviews so recent about how unethical and or elementary the services have been for many, I have chosen to rescind on my contract as stated on page 3 lines 1-6 of the contract. It states that cancellation of the program and refund would be issued if cancelled within 3 days of the offering. I enrolled march 3rd 2017, 7:12pm est. I sent in my notice this Sunday morning March 5th, 8:50am est. Based on some of the horror stories, I sincerely hope I'm not due for a ride here. read more

I was excited at first thinking this would be something that would really help my start my real estate business after being out for 25 years. I should have know better when I look at the contract (my bad) and seen that you had to sign for a year up front and if you stop that the total of closet to $8,000 would be due. If the program was so good why not do it from on quarter to the next. It was useless to me. I would not advice anyone to sign up for this program. You are talking about close to $600 an hour for there time $295 for half hour session. Most have better programs that are in there company for far less money. You know the old say you live and learn. But is was a hard and expensive lesson. read more

While the idea of mentorship is very nobel in any profession and extremely necessary for Realtors Tom Ferry's coaching falls short on many fronts. Their sales team is say whatever they need to in order to get you to sign up and their company doesn't back up the "claims" made by the sales associates. (Make sure you read all of the fine print of any paperwork you sign, possibly even having a lawyer review it). If you're not a high paying once a week coaching client who is a high producer expect to get transferred around to a number of different coaches as they're matching process is less than ideal. A as self-motivated Realtor you are probably better off purchasing a few book and and saving the thousands of dollar you would spend with Tom Ferry. read more

TERRIBLE experience and customer service. Please, be careful after you sign your agreement. I'm having problems getting my money back from the months I payed upfront, even though I'm QUITTING REAL ESTATE and won't use the 4.5 months of coaching that I paid upfront. Terrible customer service. I've been calling the person responsible for my cancellation since last week. He never picked up the phone or responded my calls/ Tex messages. Now that I could get hold of him he tells me that they won't give me my money back, money that I paid upfront, even though I'm not even going to use the coaching for the next 4.5 months. It's insane. read more

Since posting my review, I have been contacted by the Tom Ferry team to resolve the issues. They are giving me 4 weeks to continue the coaching and show me what they are really about. Really hoping for good results. I respect and appreciate their efforts to prove me wrong. read more

I will say I really like Tom! And all the value he shares on YouTube. But I signed up for a consultation call. Time blocked it into my morning. I even got a call 40 minutes prior to my scheduled call confirming my call. The coach called me 14 minutes late and asked if it was still a good time... I told her I had an appt at the next hour. No apology from her just told me in a seemingly annoyed tone that we should reschedule then. And that someone from scheduling would be calling me to reschedule. Never got a call back. Probably for the better. Not the best foot to start off on. I guess I'll keep looking. read more

Mr. Vargas, Thanks for helping ease my nerves about finally getting into coaching. I was relieved that you were so encouraging about helping me reach my personal goals. Your enthusiasm is contagious and I needed that to help build my momentum. I love the synergy of the coaches at Tom Ferry, everyone I have come into contact with has been ready to jump in and help me figure out the right mindset to get to the next level. I am looking forward to an exceptional 2018. Best Wishes, Sheri Stevenson read more

I talked with Tom Hagan over the phone a few times and got some great help and advice. It's early in my real estate career so I wasn't ready for this level of coaching, and Tom wasn't pushy or upset that I wasn't going to sign up. Definitely was a good experience! read more

These guys are salesmen, not coaches. After a seminar I gave them my info so they could reach out to see about signing up for coaching. After two weeks and nothing but calls asking me to buy different tickets to their events, finally got a call from there 'coaching department.' It was 15 minutes of someone telling me what a failure I was. I politely said I'd think about it. He agreed to call me in a week. It's been months now... Still get the calls asking me to buy tickets, no coaching return call yet. I wouldn't have posted in Yelp but everyone I've asked are disgusted by these guys too. Don't waste your money. read more

my boyfriend signed up for this service and has received little to no value, and they won't let him cancel, this is a SCAM! STAY AWAY

Update: I have increased the rating because I received message that someone from TF was going to reach out. Fingers crossed that our conversation is meaningful and goes well for both of us. Update: As you can see this rating has gone up due to the contact that was made. At this point they wanted me to reach out to the original sales person (Justin) and let him know that I spoke with the agent in retention. The agent, I believe Naureen/Noreen, (my apologies if spelled it wrong) suggested I try a different, less expensive option, but to let Justin know that she instructed me to contact him. I emailed him and am sure he will reach out to me in the future. Update number 3: Rating increased to a 4 star for the professionalism and efficiency that the company had displayed over the past week. I was provided free access to the "Breakthrough" online training which is possibly common for them to do, but not the point. Thanks for the assistance and I am looking forward to the "Sales Edge" training and will provide you with a short review and whether worth the $. Thanks Justin and Noreen. If someone can provide me with the spelling of her name that would be great. read more

Mr. Kinney, Called me from the Tom Ferry organization and I was indeed grateful for the call.

He helped me obtain a better focus and understanding of what I need to do to get my mindset in the right place. Kind regards, read more

Tom Ferry provides superior coaching and incredible value, always.

Tom Ferry tricked me. I reached out to them as new agent to find out about their coaching program and I was convinced of signing up for a program that was out of my budget range, but I signed up because I was told I had 3 days to try it out and if I wasn't satisfied I could cancel within the first 3 days with a form they provided me. The form had to be filled out, signed and either sent to the email they provided or mailed through the post office to an address they provided. Well, I didn't wait 3 days, I canceled the very same afternoon. I sent the first Notice of Rescission within a few hours, since I received no reply, not even an automated one, I sent another, again no reply so the next day I went to USPS and sent a printed and signed copy of the Notice via USPS certified mail. They haven't refunded me the amount yet and my bank says that all the documents I have given them were filled out correctly and within the terms of the contract but for some reason Tom Ferry is still fighting to not return my money. This has been going on for a little over 2 months. Is the company doing so bad they need to steal from people? I have my contract, I have the signed Notice of Rescission and all the proof necessary to prove I canceled within the 3 days of the contract 3 different times, the very same afternoon I signed up for the program. #iwantmymoney #iwantanswers read more
