Andy Harrington Reviews 174

The Harbour Hotel - Guildford,

4 hour session purchased via an advert for 27. My motivation to regain some energy and focus. (Those knocking his adverts clearly they are working the room was full)

He covers very well the business funnel
Leads
Evolve-Nurture
Presentation
Sell

That is the process.

Lots of tips from on presentation and structure which i duly noted.
After the break and an energiser in the form of using hands in presentations, the sales pitch began. He delivered a world class performance of how he took his wife to the US to be front Row in a Tony Robbins event. Then risked everything to grow. Then the 7 seat for special price for the Heathrow 4 day course, easy ways to pay, the course brochure in their hands, very hard 1990's closing technique.

On the way out an elderly lady did the course a few years ago told me she paid £19,000 became ill and is trying to redo the course.

My take Andy is the most engaging presenter, and opens minds to enable selling. I found him way more charming than Simon Squibb. Worth £27 yes 8 pages of notes and motivation to build that diagnostic bridge.

This is a review of the service offered for Public Speakers Academy. The Public Speakers University 4-day course was good, but was an upsell for the considerably more expensive PSA. This is marketed as the full package to get your business repackaged from 1-2-1 to one to many. IT IS NOT. Contrary to the Prospectus issued at PSU "We have never promoted that the training covers social media & Marketing as this is not what we offer." Everything is more money - you need a graphic, more money, you can enter the competition to win your fees back ...but you have to buy a ticket for the gala, then more and more pitches to join "unbelievable opportunities" advertised through the WhatsApp Group. Know your rights, buy on a credit card, ask for a contract.

Andy, I wasn’t in a position to buy into your programme, but the 2-day course on presenting was very, very good indeed. I have so many take-aways from that. Some people complain about your YouTube ads but I’m glad for them and for the free advice you give away. You really do know what you’re talking about and your method and personal awareness skills training are brilliant. Whether you’ll read this or not, I’m not sure, but I was impacted enough to want to write this, so thank you for sharing - and modelling what good business can look like. We need a LOT more of this in the UK right now!

Andy is absolutely smashing it. The experience is incredibly informative and transformative. I’ve enjoyed every minute and had no doubt in my mind that I was to continue to learn and expand my knowledge and skills. Fantastic experience- thank you Andy and team

Exceptional

Learned more about marketing and selling my services in four days than in 35 years in business

The PSU is a truly life changing experience. I highly recommend it. Andy Harrington is an amazing speaker, very knowledgeable and has created a clear path to teaching others how to become great speakers.
He works alongside of an amazing team, who are very warm, welcomy and always there to help!

I entered my name and details for a "live" event. The event was not live but a pre-recorded session.
I decided not to pursue the matter further.
Since then, they keep sending numerous ridiculous emails: "Viz" absolutely the last chance at this price" However a mail today offers it at USD1. What a surprise!
They are an aggressive sale orientated outfit.
Leave well alone!

Repeatedly charged my eftpos card for varying amounts after the purchase of a book that was honestly not worth the $30 it was supposed to be. I am out of pocket by almost $1000.
Whilst they agreed to not charge my card anymore, they refused to refund the money already charged.

Edit: Upon posting this review, trustpilot asked for my contact information to verify the authenticity of the review. I'm disappointed to say that I am still yet to receive any communication from Andy Harrington attempting to resolve this issue 10 months after posting the review.

I’ve repeatedly encountered Andy Harrington’s ads on YouTube, and the experience has been frustrating to say the least. The constant interruptions have made watching or listening to content on the platform unenjoyable. The ad style—overly polished, with forced enthusiasm—comes across as insincere and pushy, which has only amplified my annoyance.

While I understand marketing is a part of business, the aggressive frequency and tone of these ads have had the opposite effect: rather than sparking curiosity, they’ve left me completely disinterested in what’s being offered.

I would urge Andy Harrington and his team to consider less intrusive, more authentic ways of connecting with their audience. Ads should add value, not alienate potential customers!!!!!

My last review was flagged for having promotional content and was therefore removed. I had merely offered a suggestion for where someone's investment might be better placed. I did not stand to profit from that suggestion, however I wont't do that this time.

I believe my review was considered and fair. Here it is again, without any promotional content.

I attended Andy's PSU event in 2022 and I was convinced enough to invest in the upsell program: PSA. For me, this was a £20k investment, paid in 3 stages.

That was 2 years ago. I was a good student and applied the teaching as best I could. I spent a further £5k on recording an evergreen 'live and virtual' 2hr webinar which included footage (action shots and video testimonials) from a 3-day free training event that cost me a further £2k.

All in all, I invested close to £30k with Andy and all the add-ons. Sadly, it didn't work for me. I built it and hardly anyone came. I don't doubt that others have succeeded where I failed, Andy does have a good number of positive testimonials and big earners. Maybe my 'product' was wrong, or I had the wrong target audience, or the wrong message...maybe they just didn't warm to me.

A few months later, I shared my feedback with Andy's son, Josh. I was promised a response...I'm still waiting many months later.

I can't fault the program, or the warmth of the experiences and the strength of Andy's community. I believe Andy and his family are sincere about what they are doing and why. I just think that if you are a budding entrepreneur and you are serious about building your business, you would be better off shopping around. There are some other providers who offer much more for the same amount of money. I urge you to check them out before committing.

Good luck, whatever you decide.

A great, thought provoking, intense learning experience ce I never expected. Thank you so much and I look forward to the work we will be doing going forward.

Just attended the 4 day PSU Prof Speakers Univ, 2-5 Dec 2024. It was an extraordinarily, superb experience! Andy Harrington was truly amazing, with his knowledge, know how, skills and energy. I learned a lot, gained confidence, was provided with tools, to create, prepare, present and market my own unique branded solution.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. His Team was helpful, courteous and pleasant. I felt welcomed and at ease. Was the PSU helpful? Absolutely yes!!! It was well worth the time, effort and money invested!
I would encourage everyone, who has ever thought about it to attend!

I have to stay indifferent Andy. I enjoyed the 4 days as it was the first time I had been to anything like this. You could say I was at the right place at the right time. I had a very interesting journey to lead me to your event. I disagree with a lot of things you are doing (99%) as I have a very different viewpoint considering I am here to make sure Humanity does not become extinct - my soul purpose. I just have to do what I have to. I had a fun time. Thanks for the experience - I had to become someone I am not on the inside to a certain extent on the 4 days. Being a controlled program does not appeal to me. I am back to myself now. I prefer to be The Leader of New Planet Earth.

Attended Andy’s 4 day PSU. It was an eye opening experience in selling and presenting, and Andy is true expert in both. Yes, he’s sells his services aggressively, as he says “when my lips are moving”….his method is tested and effective, but also transparent! He teaches how to sell and present by selling and presenting to you.

He is the best of the best. Yeh perfect mix of mindset, personal development, sales training and business development. Oh and also amazing public speaking! It’s intense but why shouldn’t it be! This course has the potential to change your life if you follow it correctly. I am so glad I found Andy and I can’t wait for the journey ahead! Thank you. The best is yet to come…

I am here to voice my opposition to the advertising practices. Non-skippable advertisements are a horrendous plight for those less fortunate. As an aspiring entrepreneur, I cringe when these 'thought leaders' attempt to corner the hopeful.

Please go away

I came across Andy Harrington because of his YouTube marketing. I'm a professional and always like to improve my skills. His PresentationProfits free webinar sounded like a good investment of my time.
I have learned nothing new. However, Andy Harrington demonstrated what an engaging presentation can look and sound like. I applaud that.
I was taken aback by his "success stories," which he provided as proof that his Speaker's University is creating stars. The selection became louder and louder as we approached the sales pitch. Until then, I was still committed to staying to the end. But after he proclaimed he would mentor eight new signees to the school, saving them 80% of their investment of 17K, the event became a scare of scarcity and FOMO circus until the abrupt end.
Playing this grossly on fear in a business event is not trustworthy. It is also not trustworthy to encourage people to take out loans on their cars if they don't currently have the free money to pay for the program.
While the webinar is called a live event, and people are asked in the announcement e-mail to be prepared to spend the time to the end, it is not live, and I am uncertain if other attendees were even "real." They answered Mr. Harrington's questions in the chat before he even asked them. I may very well have been alone.
Last remarks: The webinar recording doubled up at various points during the presentation, and the end was unceremonious. There were no goodbyes, no thank yous for your time, and no hope to see you at the university. The recording just cut out, and that was that.
I recommend that you Google Andy Harrington and find the 90-minute recording of an earlier session of this webinar. It contains all the essential points Mr. Harrington drives home, the same success stories, and it will save you a lot of time and possibly money.

I understand that Andy Harrington aims to deliver powerful content, but his ads have become increasingly intrusive, interrupting whatever I’m listening to on YouTube—whether it's a calming podcast or soothing music. The ads, especially with the loud, abrupt tone and lines like 'Stop saying actually!' feel overly aggressive. While I have nothing personal against him and respect his expertise, a more moderate, less jarring delivery would make a better impression. The current tone feels counterproductive, pushing potential clients away rather than inviting them in. A softer, more engaging approach could likely resonate much better with a broader audience, encouraging interest rather than avoidance.

I attended Andy Harrington's PSU last week (24-27 October 2024) at the Heathrow Renaissance Hotel. As Sales Director and Joint Owner of a UK based Plastics Technology Business with a Global Customer Base, I have spoken at many international industry conferences (winning awards) and given innumerable "technical" presentations to Senior Management at companies such as Apple, Samsung, Dyson, Ford, VW and PSA. So I thought I was pretty "skilled" at my craft. WRONG ! Andy's INTENSIVE 4 day PSU course was an absolute eye opener as to how I could (should / must) improve my "Presentational Skills" Ten Fold.
Andy (and his Team of ACE Mentors ) were absolutely "inspirational" in supporting the 40 plus attendees throughout the course and I am sure that whether people were new to Public Speaking or have been doing it for years, like myself, we ALL came away with the tools required to improve our Presentational Skills and Businesses. My ONLY regret, is that I didn't attend such a course 30 years ago :-)

My experience of Andy and his team’s four days Live Event was amazing. I wholeheartedly recommend it as it reviews everything you need to be able to sell your solution, from existing into your prospects’ minds to how to position yourself and express your value to your audience.
