This is a Trustpilot review
This is a Trustpilot review. I’m giving 1 star.
A colleague and I booked a sales call for the Dylan OFM “Agency Course”, priced at €15,000. This is not a coaching call. This is a high-pressure sales process built on textbook manipulation techniques.
They repeatedly referenced making €1.6M profit per year and immediately framed €15,000 as insignificant (“we don’t need the money”). That is anchoring: stating a large number to make the offer price feel small by comparison and to manufacture authority. They provided no evidence for the €1.6M claim, no breakdown, no verifiable proof—yet it was used as a central persuasion tool.
The next tactic was scarcity + urgency. We were told the offer was “limited” and pushed to pay within the same hour / during the call. They attempted to close by offering an instant “discount,” reducing the price from €15,000 to €12,000 if we paid immediately. This is a standard pressure move designed to prevent due diligence and force a decision under stress.
Whenever we asked critical questions (deliverables, process, proof, what exactly is included), the rep avoided direct answers and used deflection—answering with counter-questions and steering the conversation back to closing. The call was also deliberately dragged out, which is another known technique: keep the prospect on the line long enough that they get mentally fatigued and become more likely to comply.
Then came the clearest confirmation of what this really was. Near the end, my colleague stated that he has a background in sales (I do as well—I worked in sales for about a year, so I know these tactics). Immediately after that disclosure, the rep’s behavior shifted and the call was abruptly terminated—he hung up. That reaction is telling: once it became clear we recognized the script, the conversation ended.
They also claimed they are “not sales,” while using a title like Chief Relationship Officer, which is simply sales under a rebrand. In addition, the Zoom call was recorded and someone took notes without asking for consent, which is unprofessional.
For a €15k program, a serious provider would rely on transparent proof, clear deliverables, and a decision process that allows time to think. This call relied on anchoring, urgency, scarcity, deflection, and fatigue-based closing. Do not let yourself be pressured into paying during a call.
Tip for you Koash: if someone says “you’re a salesperson,” don’t respond with “I’m not.” Just be honest about your role. Also, a weak look is saying “I don’t get commission” as a way to build trust—if you’re truly transparent, you can simply clarify how you’re compensated instead of dodging it. ;))
