Worst mistake of my life

Really, REALLY bad program. Cody is not knowledgeable about what he claims. He's a salesman, who found an avenue that he could sell people on a program that costs thousands of dollars and delivers quite literally no value.

His calls are awkward and he doesn't really know a lot of industry standard knowledge. Also makes major claims that are never true.

For example, in one of his YouTube videos he claims to have made $400k but there is literally evidence of him admitting to this being a lie and that he did not make even half that. Why lie? To make people think he can provide value and make an amount of money that even he knows he cannot reach.

If you're looking to start a lead gen business, there are absolutely better courses and honestly people overall to work with. Cody is very slimy and shows very little sign of emotion at all times.

Even when he does "help" it's the most generic and vague advice ever. Almost anybody could give it and a simple Google search would yield more valuable results than asking this cornball.

False promises

The course was very low quality. The "mentorship" was non existent as Cody would not reply on the discord. He also promised group coaching calls and accountability coaching and didn't have any.

Some group members started complaining and he then kicked us out of the discord.

Unfortunately this was a very bad experience for me, so I recommend everyone to steer clear of Cody and any of his programs.

Money hungry salesman w/ no desire to actually help you

This course is not worth whatever he’s charging for it. Somewhere around $50-$100 a month I hear?

I was charged $2k for his 1-on-1 + course. Then he tried to sell me ANOTHER $700 coaching accountability package (are you serious?).

Not to mention, he preaches being a lead gen agency guru yet had no clue what GoHighLevel was when I joined.

Also, he abandons the program for weeks at a time, and when he does answer it’s extremely short. Which I feel is honestly clause for a full refund.

Just feels like a bait and switch.

I was sold a mentorship / community and a course but I didn’t not get that. The “community” is not helpful, and a couple months after buying this “mentorship” cody mentioned he was discontinuing the monthly calls and asked me to pay $50-$100 a month if I wanted to continue the monthly calls. Pure bait and switch. Very disappointed.

Cody is a nice guy but this course / mentorship was very disappointing. I was told that this wasn’t a traditional course but more of a mentorship because Cody would be on calls with you every week and available (regular business hours) over WhatsApp to text. This is why I joined. I paid a couple thousand dollars and the first month I joined he was away on vacation. No worries. I watched the videos and waited for the next live calls. I had to ask the “community” several times just to know what time these calls were taking place. The next month, he missed a few calls, whatever. Then the next month I was told he cancelled the live calls and access to him completely. Just feels like a bait and switch. I don’t recommend this.

Apologies for this, you have had direct access to me via whatsapp yet did not bother to send any messages with questions. I have always been available. I have however changed direction and now offer 4 live calls every week. This is so I can help more people for a small monthly fee.

Cody knows what he’s talking about

Cody knows what he’s talking about.

He cuts out all the fluff and gives you access to him directly.

Everything is on point and if you just go and do what he teaches, asks questions, you will see results.

One thing to improve is his respond time, sometimes it takes 2 days for him to respond. But he’s a busy man and he’s response is always detailed.

Great Coach

Starting my SMMA this year, I feel genuinely supported by Cody and the community. This course was the best investment I made so far.

Excellent

Very good course. Cody is an excellent mentor, keeps his course up to date and the community is great also. I have made some good connections.

Cody also responds to private questions, which has been very useful.

Of course you can learn everything on…

Of course you can learn everything on YouTube yet this program is step by step and easy to follow from a good Coach.

The most important aspect is although the community behind it. So if you have money to invest in yourself then this is a pretty good option.

Everything you need for SMMA

Cody's course is everything you need to start your SMMA. Simple as that. No fluff, pure value through and through. The biggest thing that sets his course apart from the rest is the community he has developed. Everyone is super helpful and friendly. Cody himself is an incredible mentor who is willing to help you out. Definitely worth the investment!

Cody is perfect 👍

Cody is perfect 👍.
He’s helped many agencies start up and knows our own problems, as he has run his own agency too, and helps us solve it easily. I highly recommend to buy the course to anybody who is debating buying it.

This is the Course/Academy. Cody is a Top G.

Look you don't need to get any other smma or agency course to get started or scale to $10kp/m. Cody Gavin is a Top G. This course will get you to scale your business to $10K+ p/m. I say this with full confidence because of the value of what Cody has created. I've bought other courses in the smma/Agency space even ones priced 3x higher, burnt out, and almost lost hope due to the lack of transparency, lack of quality, and actual guidance. I felt like I've been given the same regurgitated information with no depth. Cody's course changed that. No one has ever delivered information easier, simpler, and better than Cody & his Agency Academy plus the community he has built. Trust, this is who and where you need to learn from in the Agency Space.

Why choose Cody Gavin’s Agency Academy

Would definitely recommend AA, for a multitude of reasons;

- High level of competency and relevancy in regards to the content.
- Great community where you can communicate with other members; of which everyone will either be in your shoes, or have been.
- Continued, genuine interest and help from Cody, whom I find to be the most authentic Agency “owner” if you will, out of the many to be found on the internet.

If you have the belief in yourself, the self-discipline and work ethic - or even if you don’t have it, this would be an extensively useful platform to practice those virtues - you’ve come to the right place.
All my best, thanks again Cody, old sport.
