linkfluencer

20 April 2022 - was told about this company and offered a 95% discount deal for 1 year, charging at $197 for the year instead of the regular price of $297 per month.27 April 2022 - agreed to try this program for 1 year at this heavily discounted price, and was asked whether I want to give my credit card details through email or over the phone. I opted for over the phone, so was told I'll receive a call to request for my credit card details.28 April 2022 at 10.50am - Erica from Linkfluencer called to request my credit card details over the phone. I checked with her to ensure this wasn't a monthly fee as their fee is usually monthly, and I also checked to make sure I wasn't automatically subscribed to anything or going to be autorenewed; I advised that I just want to try this out for 1 year only because of the heavy discount. Erica from Linkfluencer assured me it was all good, and that the introductory price I was getting meant I wouldn't be renewed for the next year, and even if I did, I should get an email reminder before it happened.28 April at 11.49am - Erica from Linkfluencer sent a welcome email with a link to access everything included in my membership.28 April at 11.50am - Erica sent another email to say she sent the welcome email and to loop in Juralyn, their community coordinator.02 May 2022 - realised my credit card had been charged $293.99 by Linkfluencer, but I had no receipt from them; this should have been my first red flag. Emailed Erica from Linkfluencer to ask for a reciept. Erica quickly sent the receipt and then advised the $197 was in USD and not in AUD, and excluded fees (admin fee 2.9%). I didn't argue about this, even though at no stage was I advised that the amount was in USD, which should have been something I was notified of, being that I'm an Australian client in Australia. When you look up Linkfluencer's ABN, they are also regestered as a company based in VIC, so very strange that they charge in USD; this should have been my second red flag.May 2022 to April 2023 - never used the program once, it's non-applicable to my certain case, very useless and does nothing for me.28 April 2023 - realised my credit card had been charged $316.68 by Linkfluencer. Had no correspondence about this charge from Linkfluencer. Emailed Erica right away but received a bounce back saying that email no longer exists. Forwarded the email to Alex Pirouz, the owner of Linkfluencer.01 May 2023 - emailed Alex from Linkfluencer again to chase for a reply.10 May 2023 - still nothing, so I emailed Alex from Linkfluencer yet again. Was advised by someone within my organisation that day that Alex was no longer the owner and he had sold the company not too long ago. Also contacted someone else from within my organisation who had signed up to Linkfluencer originally with the promotional 95% discount rate, and he said he had also been charged for another year suddenly, no correspondence, nothing from Linkfluencer to him either. Posted a Google review for Linkfluencer. Also raised a case with ACCC same day.11 May 2023 - Juralyn from Linkfluencer finally emailed me back, no apologies or anything, just said apparently my email went to spam, said she cancelled my membership, and then also threatened to take me to court for posting my Google review, saying their lawyer claims my Google review is considered defamatory and will escalate this further unless I took my review down. I replied and said I'd edited the Google review to my experiences only (prior to that, I had a line in the review saying this company is a fraud and not to sign up), and I'm more than happy to take down the review once the situation has been rectified.15 May 2023 - Juralyn replied and said according to their T&Cs, they can't refund me my money. She then repeated the threat that they will take me to court unless I take down my Google review. I replied that's okay and let her know the ACCC case number.

Linkfluencer has helped my partner with his lead generation on LinkedIn. Their methodology is really effective eventhough the steps are DIY. Alex's speaking events were also informative and inspiring to some point. I've been following linkfluencer's social media pages and I'm impressed how they are a good source of linkedin updates and useful tips within the platform. :)

I have worked with many training and coaching companies in recent years, however there have been very few that have shown as much passion and commitment to what they do as Alex and the Linkfluencer team. Very fortunate to be working with them over the past 5 months and would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to grow their business and personal brand.

I managed to subscribe to their monthly $19 subscription few months back and had used Jayla for a while. The strategy training within the software was really brilliant and very detailed. Alex and the team, could really enlighten you how to leverage LinkedIn well for lead generation as long as you follow the course and spend time well on it. Of course this methodology won't work for someone who doesn't do hardwork. It takes time and patience for it to work, but for me it was still a success. I was building my network using their steps and managed to gain a good farm of leads for my sales campaign inside LinkedIn. The only thing that I wish they could improve or fix, is the function of invites sent and invites accepted counter. It used to work well when I started using it and for some reason, it just stopped working. Good thing when that happened, I was done with my lead farming. So I requested to opt out from my subscription but it was all worth it for only $19 a month! I got no issues around cancellation though. It went smoothly. I'd still recommend linkfluencer to anyone who wishes to be successful on LinkedIn. :)

We came to Linkfluencer looking to get an additional source of leads for my agency, well the very first business I spoke with from their campaign turned into a deal worth over $50k.Believe it or not, Linkfluencer's service worked too well, I can't service all the enquiries (which is a dream problem to have) and have had to start a waiting list.I can definitely say that our companies goal of diversifying our lead sources was achieved.Mark & Alex and the rest of the team are true professionals and it has been a pleasure to work with them.

I bought Alex's LinkedIn course back in 2014 and I consider it to be one of the best marketing investments I've ever made.

Very very deceiving company. Sign you on a cheaper plan and a year on the charge your credit card without any invoices, notification or intimations. When you contest the charge they have standard replies. We don't issue refundsDodgiest operators around

A great team to work with. They've shown genuine interest and invested considerable time in understanding me and my business so they can ensure their solution meets my needs. The team stay close as the campaign unfolds are are always on hand to address any questions or concerns. I'm more than happy to recommend Linkfluencer to others who need support with their LinkedIn marketing campaigns.

I have been with Linkfluencer for a number of months now and with their help, knowledge and advice I have increased my profile on LinkedIn significantly. We have more comments, more likes and post views. We have already picked up a major client but have also made contacts in the industry which have proved valuable. I am working with Linkfluencer to generate marketing funnels and am looking forward to converting more sales. I love the community that is being developed here where the group aim is to help each other. Alex has surrounded himself with an awesome team that are passionate about what they do and it is obvious to me that they know what they are doing.

Being a sales trainer and coach I can attest that Alex's LinkedIn methodology works and is top of class. It's all centred around building authentic connections and relationships. The system really resonates with my business and ethos.
