Hey everyone, I need to warn you about Aaron Sansoni – stay away from this guy! I’m still kicking myself for falling for his “business mentor” BS. What a nightmare.
So my partner and I thought we were investing in our future, you know? We shelled out thousands of bucks for his so-called coaching program. Big mistake. Nobody ever called us back, and then out of nowhere, we got slapped with a $14,000 invoice. Like, what the hell?
This Sansoni dude talks a big game about growing your business and changing your life. Don’t buy it. It’s all smoke and mirrors. The few “coaching” sessions we did get were useless – just vague motivational crap and constant upselling for more overpriced garbage.
Looking back, it’s obvious Sansoni doesn’t give a damn about actually helping anyone. He’s just after your money. I feel like such an idiot for falling for it, but I hope sharing this saves someone else from making the same mistake.
There are legit business coaches out there, but this guy ain’t one of them. Do your homework and stay far away from Aaron Sansoni. Trust me, your wallet will thank you.
Oh, and if you want more dirt on this scammer, check out this article I found: [link to “Aaron Sansoni: The Manipulative Scammer Behind Fake Reviews by Lauren Casper“]. It’s pretty eye-opening.
I just Googled “Aaron Sansoni reviews” and came across this page. I wanted to share my story that happened in 2017.
I had just finished a 12-month Inner Circle mentorship with this fraud. The only thing that was affected was $44,000 from my bank balance.
Aaron Sansoni, the proclaimed “Sales King,” is nothing short of a rip-off and a scam artist.
He lies about having a Venture Capital firm in which he invests in other people’s businesses so he’d be considered a business authority and sign people up to his programs.
All of his content is stolen word for word from Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Joel Bauer, and other enterprise speakers whom he claims to know on a personal level. He’ll often Photoshop photos of himself with celebrities like Tony Robbins, Richard Branson, Eric Thomas, and more to leverage their authority.
He claims to have over 20 businesses, which is another lie. The only businesses he actually runs are public speaking workshops that cost $4,000 each, including: Sales Mastery, Empire Mastery, Leadership Mastery & Million Dollar Agent boot camps, the Speaker Retreat, and his $40,000+ coaching programs.
He even claimed that he “independently valued” himself at $39 million, which is deceitful and untrue…
Even his stories about purchasing a $25k Hublot watch aren’t his own.
Don’t be fooled into signing up for any of his boot camps or mentorships. Save your money—there’s no value in what he offers.
He’s the epitome of “Fake it till you make it.”
Here’s the exact funnel he uses to rope people into his 100% plagiarized courses:
1. He’ll often run low-ticket events between $20-$100 for business owners, usually sponsored by Success Resources or his own “Evening with Aaron” events.
2. He runs an intro video that “preframes” the audience using deceptive NLP tactics, showing pictures of him with Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, and claiming to be “the new breed of Sales Superstar,” supposedly better than legends like Brian Tracy, Jim Rohn, and Zig Ziglar.
3. He pitches his $4,000, 3-day boot camps at the end of the low-ticket events. He drags out the 3-day boot camps with useless time-wasting preframes about what he’s “going to teach,” which he then says “he hasn’t even gotten started yet.” By the end of day one, you’ll realize all of his content is rehashed, and he doesn’t even give credit to the people he stole it from.
4. During his bootcamp, he shocks the audience using his “mantra,” which is copied word for word from Tony Robbins: unleashyourinnerstrength.com/2010/04/09/tony-robbins-quotes-incantations/
5. On the evening of the second day, he preframes the audience for a “free VIP lunch,” which anyone can attend to learn about his coaching and mentorship programs.
6. On day three, he runs the “VIP lunch” in a separate room and pitches a 12-month Inner Circle program, using scarcity tactics like “We really weren’t expecting this many people” and “We didn’t prepare enough forms.” He’ll claim that “not everyone will be accepted into the program” and that there’s an application review process.
He sells his “Inner Circle Program” for more than $40,000, claiming it will:
1. Help take your business to the next level.
2. Give you access to all his resources, “the best in Australia” (which is a complete lie).
3. Give you access to his VIP email (which isn’t monitored, and most emails are ignored).
4. Access to his Inner Circle Facebook community, which is full of 60+ people asking for help, mostly through Facebook Lives.
5. Trips and tours through his “Aaron Sansoni Foundation,” which doesn’t even exist.
6. Quarterly one-hour calls with Aaron, where he spends the whole time talking about his own “success” and not about your business at all.
7. Quarterly immersions, which he claims will skyrocket your business (a complete waste of time).
I urge my fellow business owners not to take part in his fraudulent programs. If you’ve been in business for longer than 20 minutes, there’s not much Aaron Sansoni can help you with. He’ll often just tell you to “go ask the Inner Circle group” when you ask for help with your business.
An absolute joke of a program. I cannot believe I was fooled into signing up with him—huge waste of money!
If anyone else has had a similar experience, please don’t hesitate to share. It’s important that others are aware of this shiny fraud.
Best regards,
Very Disappointed & Ripped Off Business Owner.
No Money Down Live Event hosted by Sansoni was a waste of $296.00. Firstly was marketing, then his story, then into how to acquire businesses. I was disappointed that this live webinar/maybe replay was very high level giving an overview of different ways to grow and buy businesses. No detail in this online seminar. Do not recommend. Other people doing business acquisition offer much more and for free! A lot of surface here but no guts. Don’t bother to attend. I feel I would of been better off investing this money for a full day seminar elsewhere!
This cult is a complete SCAM brainwashing psychological abuse by Aaron Sansoni and no chance of a refund unless you lodge a chargeback through your bank and/or go to AFCA. Do not fall into this pyramid ponzi scheme. Life coaching really isn’t a thing. If you choose not to see this place for what it is then I guess you’re dumb enough to deserve getting ripped
I can’t seem to find the article “Aaron Sansoni: The Manipulative Scammer Behind Fake Reviews by Lauren Casper”…wonder where it is
This seems to be removed!
I attended the Empire Mastery Course in Melbourne, and am wanting to share my experience with those who may be deciding if the course is right for them. I attended a one-day summit where Aaron Sansoni spoke, and had guest speakers; he was engaging and I decided to sign up for the course, believing once completed, I would have the knowledge I needed to create, grow and scale a new business. He made it clear that he only worked with small groups so he could provide an elite level of service over the 4 days.
Well, if you call 400 people in the Grand Ballroom of the Pullman Hotel a small group, then yes, it was small. That was the first shock. The next was the loud party music and the continual demand to stand up, move around and talk to strangers about whatever he dictated, share your fears, talk about your business model etc.
In my opinion, the course could have been reduced to 2 days if he stopped all the self-promotion and boring stories about how he grew up poor – obviously trying to sound relatable, even though he also made everyone in the room aware he lives in an elite bayside suburb, he owns 80 companies, has a black Amex Centurian card, drives a Bentley and travels 1st class. Yuck, just yuck…
His over-the-top presentation style completely misses the opportunity to reach an entire group of people wanting to learn by his polarising performance and exhausting 12-14 hour days with very minimal breaks.
I’m an introvert, and I make no apologies for that, and I truly felt the way he marketed the course at the ‘free summit’ it would be an exciting and comfortable learning environment, but it was anything but. He also said as a way to mitigate any concerns you may have; you can get a full refund if you complete day 1 and feel it’s not the right course for you. This was not my experience. I asked for a refund and was denied by his staff. Many phone calls to his ‘help line’ and multiple conversations through an overseas call centre to staff who cannot do anything other than take your name again and lie that ‘someone’ will call you back shortly. It won’t happen, say goodbye to your money.
In my opinion, the hefty $5000 I paid for the course was a waste of my hard-earned money, you could google the same information free. I did try and find some on-line reviews before I signed up, and there were none, other than a couple that his legal team had taken down because they obviously didn’t rave about how amazing he is. The only reviews you can find are on his website, which of course, he controls the narrative – so who even knows if any of them are real. Day one was the same dialog and speech he had at the free 1-day summit, there was no new material, just 14 hours of self-promotion.
It’s a Fail with a capital F from me.
Went to what was advertised as a Goggins motivational event in Brisbane. Total bait and switch. $70 ticket got me a 9-hour sales pitch – Goggins only spoke for the final hour. Spent most of the day enduring Ethan Donati, Aaron Sansoni and JT Fox pushing their $5000+ “coaching” programs. The actual advertised speakers (Samantha Gash, Mark Bouris, Stephanie Rice, Goggins) barely got 3 hours combined.
Two of these sales guys weren’t even listed when I bought tickets. Pure deception. Had to laugh watching obvious plants sprint to the sales tables after each pitch. Goggins delivered, but lost respect seeing him involved with these types – totally against what he preaches. Does he even check who he’s appearing with?
