Kekoa MacAuley - The Modern SDR Reviews 88

I joined when I was 18, Kekoa and his team have opened the door of sales for me, I learned so much knowledge about sales psychology and this is a great progam to learn from, as I am making this I am already placed as a setter beacuse of my graduation, Kekoa and his team are consistently providing value and are not like those other owners who act high top teir that you can't reach them, they treat you normal as anyone else will, it takes you by surprise if your new, every coach has their own unique meeting and take on sales, if you like deeper psychological sales and mindset and tonality you go to Ryan, you want to get better at questions and pain you go to Patrick aka LeBron of sales, you want to handle objections and learn more about how to handle calls you go to Alex, each of these plus the new additions are constantly providing value, its like Alex Hormozi came into the server.

Joined the SDR initiative a few days back and actually really solid for getting a sales role. Definitely for beginners but for $17 it’s a no brainer. Looking into getting into the main program soon but need to save up first.

Scammed my teenage son into paying €49 and €17/month in his <18 card.
Had to cancel card to prevent reoccurring charges.

The Modern SDR is wonderful. I am learning so much about sales techniques that are actually helping people. I look forward to starting my next career with their help.

I’m glad I made my decision on the program. I here a lot of what some people have to say, but from my perspective, they give you all the tools you need to succeed. Even connects everyone on a platform to to learn, practice, and to even network with other people! I’ve had the pleasure to work with some great people on their team that really put me on game. (Shoutout Alex and Seirra!) Anybody bad-mouthing in the reviews are just people who think they can go out and find a magic pill to their solutions in life. I know I put in the work, so I can speak from a standpoint of actually utilizing the teachings, and gaining interviews and job opportunities!

From the very beginning of my journey with The Modern SDR, I've been consistently amazed by the unwavering dedication to excellence demonstrated by both the team and the leadership. As someone who's had the privilege to manage our valued clients and support our incredible internal team, I can wholeheartedly vouch for the commitment, professionalism, and integrity embedded in the very fabric of our operations.

This isn't just a company; it's a community. A place where every team member's voice is valued, and every client's need is attended to with utmost care and precision. In the short span since the beginning of this year, I've witnessed countless instances of the team going above and beyond to ensure success, satisfaction, and growth.

For anyone considering partnering with or joining The Modern SDR, know that you're not just getting a service or a job – you're becoming a part of a Tribe that strives each day to be the gold standard in its industry.

I recently decided to explore the world of online entrepreneurship, and I came across this self-proclaimed genius who claimed to hold the keys to financial success. Promising a life of riches, I eagerly invested in their program, hoping to gain insights into building a thriving business. However, what I received fell far short of these grandiose promises.

This so-called influencer showcased a glamorous lifestyle filled with luxury cars and exotic vacations, leading me to believe that their program would unlock the same prosperity for me. But instead of gaining the secrets to financial independence, I found myself faced with nothing more than tips on becoming a Sales Development Representative (SDR).

While there is nothing inherently wrong with pursuing a career as an SDR, it was the blatant misrepresentation that left a sour taste. The program offered generic advice that can be found in countless online resources for free. The lofty promises of overnight wealth were nothing more than empty words to lure hopeful individuals seeking financial security.

It's disappointing to see someone leveraging their influence and platform to exploit the dreams and aspirations of others. If you're considering this "influencer" for financial guidance, I would strongly advise you to think twice and explore more credible sources that provide valuable insights without misleading tactics. Remember, true success requires dedication, hard work, and honesty, not empty promises and smoke and mirrors.

100% scam. Took my money, and taught me nothing. Don't waste your time and money, these guys just take your money and leave your messages and emails on read for weeks on end. As reply to their review. I am not listing my real name as I do not feel comfortable releasing my name. I wouldn't take the time to review random companies or businesses without reason as anyone with a brain would know.

Kekoa gave me very helpful tips on how to dig deeper into clients' pains and improve my closing rate! Very helpful.

Kekoa's coaching helped me level up my SDR skills! He taught me how to leverage pain points to close more deals, and I'm already seeing a huge difference in my performance.

10/10 experience - Kekoa and his team have helped my SDRs greatly improve their closing skills and bring in more top-line revenue to the company.

So you guys say refund aren’t typically allowed after someone in engaged w the program? You guys kicked me out the same day after I told you guys the purchase was a mistake… I tried to tell you guys immediately after I seen how much was pulled out of my bank account I joined the heartbeat group asked for a refund and then you guys kicked me out… I paid $800 literally for nothing…
This is a SCAM, plz don’t F up like I did…
Maybe if you guys would stop ignoring all my emails and texts n could talk to me about my refund then I’d take down this post but dude $800 is A LOT I did NOT mean to pay that much …

Hello! So I’m sure u guys know by now what’s going on n my misunderstanding of this whole process. I was wondering if a refund is possible, I spent my rent money thinking I was going to b making money w you guys so I kinda jus figured I’d make that money back n even more! But that’s not the case, it’s ofc a process I’d need to learn so w that being said atm I do NOT have the time nor money to invest in this , gimme like maybe 4months to put money aside to take the courses but rn I quit my job like 2weeks ago, had jus about enough money just for rent next month n seen this instagram stuff bout making “$5k - $10k a month” w this program so I thought I’d give it a try cuz I’ve been extremely depressed the passed 3years but now I’m realizing this isn’t what I was thinking it was n I jus spent my rent money so me n my 5yr old r bouta b homeless unless I get this refund. I jus joined b4 going to work yesterday around 7pm then got at like 6am n did sum research cuz I jus hada bad gut feeling all day I made the wrong choice. Sure enough I did, I think it’s a great opportunity if you have the time n money, but rn atm I have neither, I’m a 23yr single father taking care of his 5yr that jus started kindergarten, my car broke down 2months ago so I’ve been unerring EVERWHERE, I jus stopped working very recently, I jus used my rent money for this opportunity thinking it was something entirely different so could someone reach out to me n lmk if I’ll b able to get a refund so me and my son don’t become homeless next month?

My honest experience with The Modern SDR and Kekoa

I've been a part of the internal program of Kekoa's since December and in these months I was able to take my skillsets and my income to a whole new level.

For example prior to working with Kekoa I wasn't making anything with Appointment setting and was just working endlessly. In the second month working with him I made close to $3,000 which might not seem like much, but in my country as well as considering my age which at the time I was only 16 plus having school and other activities, I felt happy.

Since that time I was able to sharpen my skillsets and become a closer. I'm still working on it everyday and there is still a lot for me to learn. But in 2 days I was able to close 3 deals and make over $1,000 in commissions...

Income and skillsets aside I was able to network with people who have similar visions and goals and helped me push forward when things were difficult.

So yea, I thought I’d give it a try cuz they made it seem like you’d make money fast and steadily but after doing sum research and realizing you’re just paying to be taught to become a sale representative and they don’t actually help u make money they just tell you how u can make money. Tryna getta refund atm but when I posted a msg in the chat it got deleted then I got kicked outta the SDR program. I’ll come back n give u guys a 2 star IF I get my refund cuz this whole Modern SDR shi was EXTREMELY misleading :’)

ALSO I WAS KICKED OUT THE PROGRAM WITHIN 24hours of paying $800 … so I basically paid them $800 for absolutely NOTHING… this is a scam because you guys never even told me about the refund policy until AFTER I purchased….

Replying back to your reply : so yea a few things about your reply…
1. When you said, “ everything from our 1-on-1 onboarding process and meetings with our head coaches inside the program are incredibly transparent.” what you’re talking about is the video call you guys gave me right?… you can literally watch those videos on YouTube or your instagram account, there’s nothing “transparent” about you asking me what I do for a living and where I live/work and if I would like to make more than what I’m making atm… your “coaches” just asked personally questions about me and then asked if I’d like to make more money and ofc I would I just got done letting them know I’m a struggling 23yr old single father working 3rd shift 50+ hours a week
2. So I haven’t been taught anything, literally bought it for $800 THINKING I was investing that $800 into a money come up or something so I bet my rent money thinking this is something that’s about to make me a few extra $k, I didn’t think I was paying $800 for tips n online courses… I have rent coming up n I really thought I was gonna do something like RIGHT NOW to get bills paid not something that’ll happen in a few weeks from now after investing time and money into… I jus don’t have that typa money atm so I don’t see why I can’t get a refund when I asked you if I could refund my purchase within the 24hours of purchasing the program because it was NOT AT ALL what I thought it was… I haven’t used any of your “tools” all that happened was people in the program congratulating/welcoming me on purchasing the program… I tried to talk to you guys 1 on 1 about this issue and all of you keep ignoring me… I have rent due on the 6th n I spent $800 of it thinking I was investing in a come up… I simply jus do NOT have the money to be paying $1k a month for this program I got bills I have to pay so I can keep this roof over my sons head, I don’t have the time to learn all these new skill sets w this warehouse job on top of parenting with all my free time… I do not see the harm in my refund at all… the only harm that’ll come is if you guys can’t refund me then I won’t b able to pay rent this upcoming month and my son and I will be homeless all because y’all really wouldn’t refund just $800… I only took this leap cuz I was reallll desperate with not working the past 2weeks I jus went back like 2days ago n my check is not going to cover rent… I’ve asked so many of you guys and begged jus for a refund and all of you guys are ignoring me.. leaving me on read or just not relying to any of my emails… also your “Client Success Manager” reaching out to me privately to get me “taken care of.” Was literally her jus sending a message saying someone else will get ahold of me to get this taken care of… now I can’t tell if this is a scam or not because if it wasn’t why can’t you guys jus refund me when I’m letting you know I invested w my rent money into something I didn’t even understand correctly n now I realized y’all are tryna make me pay $1k a month for online course and “coaches” I feel dumb asf cuz that’s NOT at allll how I thought that $800 was being spent… like I was thinking something entirely different like I was investing $800 into some sorta deal w you guys and y’all would fill me in w the details when I was brought “on board the program”…
I jus want my refund dude , all you guys did was welcome me to the community, didn’t discuss anything else other than what I do for a living… no knowledge whatsoever of making money… so I honestly do not see why I cannot get my refund when I asked within the first 12hours of purchasing for a refund… and I got kicked out the program within the same day after asking for a refund… so I LITERALLY paid $800 for absolutely NOTHING…

I recently applied and finished the Modern SDR Initiative program, which cost $264 plus another $97 charge. Initially I was under the impression from my emails that I was starting the main program at a discount, but upon finishing all 16 of my Initiative courses, my Client Success Manager informed me that the Initiative was only a condensed version of the main program and doesn't have as many benefits, help or information as the central program, also known as The Modern SDR 3.0 as of this time of writing. Unfortunately, I applied for the Initiative program because I thought from my emails that I was receiving a specialty sale of the central program, not a pregame version, so I am disappointed that I do not have full access to all of the resources to help me become a High Ticket Closer. That being said, the Initiative does offer direct links to connect you with business owners in need of closers and Kekoa also supplies a rough template of what to say during a phone call to close on a deal, including in a written document, so you are not left completely in the dark even without the full program. Without having any of the information from the main program, however, I am not feeling as confident as I probably should in my ability to know where to start or next steps moving forward, as I do not have any experience in sales. The speakers, presenters and Client Success Managers seem amazing and I feel like I would have a wonderful time working with them and being able to ask questions. They are all very nice and very patient, and present information in a very clear and concise way. Kekoa himself is also directly involved in speaking to new students and answering questions, which I think is amazing. After I finished the Initiative program and spent $361 on it though, I felt crushed when I learned that the main program costs $6,000 or potentially more depending on the circumstances, and I had applied to this program because I am currently unemployed and have been struggling to find a job. I am 24 and have no work experience due to unforeseen circumstances being diagnosed with MS when I was 17, and that has made finding work very hard, especially as someone who does not have any work experience (and employers require that you have experience just to gain experience). I simply cannot afford the $6,000 price tag for the central program and I am sad that I cannot continue on the trajectory I started with in the Initiative. I hope that a lower price point could be offered to those who are not in the best financial situation so that they still have an opportunity to learn and grow from the program, or even a version that is free for a few months and can be paid back once you start earning money as a closer. The program seems like it would be an amazing opportunity, but I am feeling heartbroken that I cannot continue it.

The course itself shows you about how to become a modern SDR, it goes deeper and teaches the psychological aspect as well. In the program you get to meet a lot of like minded people who want to grow and excel, and willing to help. I've made a lot of great friends who have helped me in my journey to becoming an SDR and even a closer. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and friendly, they will treat you as a person and provide excellent feedback. The only thing I'd like is for the admins to be more responsive. Other than that this is a program I'd recommend 110%!

Amazing to do business with Kekoa and Modern SDR.

Kekoa provided my team with a fully trained appointment setter who is consistently generating 10+ appoints per week for my sales team.

Excited to continue to work with Kekoa as we grow!

I want to save you time and money so read closly. Iv'e bought the program, so ive been in their and seen it all. It was much worse than i thought. Kekoa, want your money period. His a coach who doesn't care about you and your success. Here are my complaints

I didn't consume anything of Kekoas program just to show the man some respect. I asked for a refund on day 1. If I wanted the program then I would have paid and I didn't. I didn't use their coaching calls or anything. Whatever the modern sdr response to this review, do not believe them!

1. All this "positive" reviews is something they want, it says in the program that: "If you want a social media shoutout then rate us on trustpilot" So all "the positive reviews" are fake!!! It's a win win, If you write a review you get a social media shoutout that's twisted and wrong. People are not being honest! Therefore don't buy his program, reviews are fake.

2. I asked for a refund on day 1, i've been trying getting a refund for almost a month now because I felt I wouldn't use his program, had a bad gut feeling. I recongnized it's was a obvious scam. I've been in contact with Kekoa almost every single day to get a refund, i pleaded, asked for forgivenss and, suprise, suprise, he would never give in! Kekoa tries to make you stay by giving "free material" it's a psycoligical trick (an objection it's called in the sales world)

He does that so you feel emotionally atttached and he don't want to give you your money back. This is a greedy kid, trust me when i say it. And Yes i haven't commited to his program because I wasn't intressted and felt scammed, despite that, they risk their whole reputation by not satisfeing their customers. That's a big red flag. Just think about it, this review could make you reconsider and not buy (i hope you don't i pleed with YOU DONT!) They are losing money on this and it seems like they doesn't care about it. Well they already have my money so what would it matter to them?

3. The uno reverse card they will pull is their refund policy, that's the only thing they got, DONT YOU LISTEN TO THEM, THEIR RESPONSE TO THIS REVIEW IS TO MAKE YOU BUY. DON'T YOU DARE GIVE THEM A SINGLE DOLLAR THEY WANT YOU HOOKED AND UPSELL YOU. We need to warn others about this company the first step is not to buy and If you know others who are intressted than warn them.

Positive:

Kekoa is a Nice dude, i think he is a man of his word. But as always he do this to get more fame and money, his intention outwards is to make lives better but probably his inner desire is more fame and money. If you want buying into his dreams and not yours then do it If not invest it in yourself.

There is free courses about appointment setting, that will explain everything he teaches but for free. Search on youtube etc.

I hate when people fool others. I will show how to be real loving an compassionate human being by warning you and telling that there's free material everywhere on the internet just google!

If people with intention had more love and compassion then this kind of greediness wouldn't exist. If that would be the case then the money would been refunded on day one. But that is how the world is in these days...

If the The Modern SDR refund me than this review will be gone If not it will stay. So If you are unclear check in some months to see if my review is gone. If it is you can trust him! Then his intentions are pure and compassionate. Despite all that, he has all the money in the world so for him 300$ to refund is nothing! So that's shocks me... How greedy the modern SDR are... It's not worth losing a customer or trust, while building a brand now that are totally new on the market, just so unprofessional.

Be careful out their don't be fooled trust your gut and learn from my mistake! If I made you not buy i'm happy and content because that's your heart and your logical thinking working. It was worth paying for so you hadn't to do so. That makes me happy 🙂

Thank you and bless!

Kekoa and his team have been AMAZINGLY helpful to me in the short time (one day) involved with his Modern SDR platform.

Seirra and Alex have been amazing, as well.

I’m ready to start ‘killing it’!!
