Tax responsibility not factored into profits Not a scam but just keep in mind they don’t include your tax responsibilities when presenting potential profits. Shopify reports all sales to the IRS. You’ll be responsible for sales tax on all sales and federal taxes on all profits. Once factored in, the profits are very minimal, if any. Company is legit and their people are very professional, just not worth it when everything is factored in.

Very Expensive, Not Worth It, and Low Success I feel strongly that the fee this business charges for store setup is way too high, and not worth it. There are many other companies out there charging much less for the same services. After discontinuing my business with this company and receiving a partial refund of $2k, which was all they were willing to offer, I still feel I vastly overpaid. I have been working with Shopify store managers I hired directly at a low hourly rate, since they're based abroad, and have already found their work to be of higher quality. We have researched many more quality products as well. I wish I had saved my money and tried this out myself. I do not feel like The Leading Group was doing anything that special or value-add for me with such a high startup cost, and then such a high monthly fee. Thankfully I quit before the monthly fee started. I would amend my review if the startup cost had been lower. Now that I see what these services entail and what they are worth, I really did overpay for a store template that was cloned for me, and for a store with minimal success, which mostly only offered one single product, and had typos and bad styling throughout.

Thank You Leading Group I began working with the leading group three months ago. I have made approximately $4,000 in sales, and $2,800 of that has been profit. While I am not far from breaking even, I am not overly concerned with that because I am happy that the business is functioning well. From my experience, I have learned that a good product or website and effective advertising are crucial. I would like to express my gratitude to the leading group and will make sure to inform my friends and family about your company.

Lending Groups Satisfied Customer I’ve been with the Lending Group for almost 4 months now. I was a little skeptical at first like anyone would be because there’s a lot of frauds out there. But this company is the real deal. My account manager Zamiel is always there to answer my question and he has found a home run product that’s doing very well for my store. I also want to thank RJ for getting me started with the process. The customer service with this company is second to none.

DO NOT WORK WITH THIS COMPANY - OVER $10k DOWN THE DRAIN UPDATE: If you would like even more reason to not work with this company, read their replies to THEIR customer’s reviews. Not only is this harassment, they continue to lie. They did not refund me $4,000, they only refunded me $2,000 after I told them I was reporting them to the BBB. I also have proof of how they provided me with false information in order to get me to sign a contract with them. I had to “micromanage” my Account Manager because he kept forgetting to update my shop, products, and left ads running on a product that he had already told me “failed testing”. Also, it was in my contract that I paid them $6,000 to handle Customer Service. So by them admitting in their reply that customers were being directed to me for support when I was given ZERO visibility to what was going on with my shop proves that they breached their contract. Maybe they should spend less time harassing the people they manipulated into signing contracts with them and focus on learning how to do what they say they do. DO NOT WORK WITH THIS COMPANY! PLEASE let me be a cautionary tale for you. They have no idea what they are doing. I have been told lie after lie and been delivered so much misinformation. I have been working with The Leading Group since August 2023 they launched my shop a little less than a month after in September 2023. As of now, my total expenses have been greater than $12,600 and they have only been able to generate my shop a total of $2,520.93 in TOTAL SALES. That puts me at a LOSS of OVER $10,000. I consistently had to proactively reach out to my Account Manager for updates, no one communicated with me any type of strategy, and they kept gas lighting me like it was something I was doing wrong and that I was trying to be "too hands-on". I had to be hands-on or nothing would have been accomplished. They cannot communicate their strategy for generating sales simply because THEY DO NOT HAVE ONE! I reached out to them with all of my documentation of every event and outreach that took place throughout my time working with them. They DID NOT uphold their end of the contract in regard to "1:1 Account Management" or "Customer Support". I had several customers reach out directly to me stating they never received their products. When I sent them this documentation I requested a refund of my initial investment given the fact that they did not uphold their end of the contract. They AGAIN gaslit me saying this wasn't true, but they would assign me a new Account Manager. I'm simply writing this review to make sure NO ONE ELSE falls victim to The Leading Group. They are a scam and I have all the receipts to prove it.
