Entrepreneur's Circle Review

I've been a member of the Entrepreneurs Circle for years now and they're nothing but amazing.
They're not about producing leads for you, they're about training you to get your own. They're about changing your mindset so you are READY to run a business...not just have a job that you'd be the only idiot to keep getting up for.

Wherever you are on your business journey, the EC will help you

Complete scam, do not join.
I'm submitting this information wherever I can.
I joined out of curiosity and got bombarded with emails to the point of harassment, so cancelled my account. They then took £118.00 from my account and are refusing to pay it back.
I have instructed my bank to block any further attempts of payments and this is an ongoing situation that I am pursuing.
But please be warned, do not join and do not give them your bank details.

Beware of Scammers. Next to impossible to cancel after free trial. Continue to invoice and seek payments. Had to cancel bank card to prevent further debits. Slick marketers cowboy standards

Simply Fantastic training and a supportive community. Very glad I joined :)

Very disappointed with their process. They will produce a lot of leads however the leads are very poor quality and target vulnerable demographics susceptible to being targeted. Quite a unethical policy.

Also they will hold your card/payment details and make and make unscheduled deductions from your account for services they do not provide.

Recently attended the Entrepreneurs Marketing System Masterclass with Nigel Botterill and the EC. Extremely worthwhile and valuable 2 days. VERY pleased I took 2 days out of my hectic schedule to attend and would recommend to any smalll business owner who wants to grow their sales - thank you Nigel and the EC.

I have been watching the company for a while and during COVID-19 I signed up to be a member and have loved it ! The work I have been doing with my business coach has helped immensely and already in 2 weeks we have seen significant revenue gains. The vault is my go to even for just some motivation to spur me back on ! Well worth joining - i have learnt so much in 2 weeks

The best decision I ve ever made was to join The Programme- I was highly sceptical at first as the financial commitment was a lot for my business but 5 stars to the team and everyone at EC HQ for their expertise and guidance.

Having been involved for a short 6 months I can enthusiastically say, that the information provided is making a difference to the way I think and work and to my company as a whole, and I have recommended the service to friends who I feel will benefit from being members

Great day at EC on Facebook Messenger and ManyChat with Cameron and Jo

Join. Just join. Don't argue. Join. You'll be glad you did. Oh, and do the stuff they say ... otherwise don't join.
XMas 2019 Update. : Just join ffs.

Just completed the Ad Astra 2 day training programme. Excellent value, eye poppingly informative and so detailed! Thanks team for sharing a brilliant virtual two days

The EC is such an amazing community and the whole team are so helpful and inspiring.

Nigel really does know his stuff and I m so grateful for the golden nuggets I ve received the last few years.

I ve implemented a lot into my business and after a long year of development, implementing things I ve learned, scraplocal.co.uk is ready to go live.

Thanks for your continued support!

Regards,
Martin - Scrap Local

They lack total integrity/ Took payment without confirmation. Sold a training where the modules were not ready. Refused to cancel a subscription. PLEASE DO NOT BY into the scam - they will screw you... they have a program named screwed - but they are the ones doing it - stay away..

superb information , hard to keep up at times there was just so much to take in, fantastic for the two days Nigel at his best just brilliant

When an outfit like this employs misleading advertising tactics like the one below at a time when businesses are suffering the huge economic impact wreaked by Covid-19, this is nothing short of sharp practice and needs exposing! Under the guise of allegedly helping small businesses, these people are fleecing those who can ill-afford it. They are morally bankrupt and should hang their heads in shame - AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Life changing. The EC has the best team, led by a man that has done it all. I've been in the EC for 9 years and I wouldn't stay in if I wasn't getting good value. Give them a call. Change your life.

An amazing event - full of really useful nuggets of information that I can't wait to start implementing in my businesses

Awful service...they tried to run my FB ads but messed it up and they just do not seem to have any motivation to resolve the situation after I have been more than reasonable...Give them a wide berth!

Now I know ... what I did not know! The Entrepreneurs Circle is the most insightful, practical and do-able training given to any business. The tried and extensively tested methods are all golden nuggets! Delivered with SO MUCH experience, unrelenting enthusiasm and a genuine desire to help businesses grow. First class. Highly recommend.

The 3 day GETTING AND KEEPING CUSTOMERS Virtual Convention was fantastic. I feel energised and full of ideas of how to implement relatively simple solutions to make our business even more successful (by that I mean profitable ) Thanks all at EC

The EC offer an absolute wealth of input, experience and support. If you run your own business then I would absolutely recommend getting in touch!

Amazing place, amazing people and the best help for your business you can ask for.
Everyone at the EC is genuinely interested in help business owners reach their potential. I started with them 17 months ago with the 'Programme' and I won't be going anywhere when it's finished. It is simple, practical assistance to work ON your business.
Thank you to everyone at the EC. you've all helped me get to where i am now. :-)

I've found the EC to be great - in fact I'd go as far as say almost essential to small business owners! They give you a way of getting expert business consultancy on growing and improving your business, and their team have genuine, real expertise across the whole range of skills needed to run a business. Of course using them is no guarantee of success as you still have to implement stuff yourself to succeed (though in some areas they can arrange to do this for you), but they are very serious about supporting and helping you in a real-world practical way and I think many businesses would find a lot of value from it.

This is a review of my coaching experience with Michelle Squire. Michelle has been coaching me for 6 months. Her passion and enthusiasm to help me grow and improve my business has been outstanding. I am now in a completely transformed position with clear weekly goals and a clear plan. Michelle is inspirational, motivating and most importantly holds me to account! My business has thrived through the Covid pandemic largely down to her insights and encouragement. Any business owner who needs a coach will find none of a higher quality than Michelle!!

Always an informative time here, especially love the orientation to start implementing/coming away with concrete actions. These courses make a real impact.

Love the EC, more specifically the team there. Great service for small business owners - highly recommend

Just a brief post to review the Ad Astra Masterclass run through the Entrepreneur's Circle. Co-hosted by Nigel Botterill and Martin Norbury, the Masterclass was truly outstanding.

The challenge was to help the viewers understand how to effectively scale and grow their business and this challenge was not only met but surpassed my expectations. From providing models with which to understand the necessary processes through to understanding the numbers that form as critical part of making this happen, Martin & Nigel guided us all through what is a complex area.

It is clear that time was taken to pull together a programme of learning that would readily get to the core of what the viewer needed to begin to understand and the quality of thinking behind the teaching was truly excellent. In my view it was a case of solid Academic Rigour meets Practical implementation, i.e. there was real substance to what was being taught but delivered in a way that everybody watching could take away a solid plan of activities to run through and begin the process of setting up their business to scale.

Once again my thanks to Martin, Nigel and the team for delivering a complex and involved subject in an entertaining and pragmatic way.

Regards Terry Simmons

Just completed the Ad Astra 2 day masterclass. Jam packed full of super useful information on how to scale a business successfully. Would highly recommend.

The quality and breadth of materials available are brilliant, there is so much help and friendly advice - I highly recommend EC to everyone looking to grow their business.

Thanks for this insightful Mastermind class, I've learned a lot in these 2 days and I'm sure that it will be 100% my fault if I fail to see any results after implementing these strategies to my business.

don't believe any of these paid reviews.

- you claim you dont know who i am but.. in response to my review have got one of the people who work for you to post the same review to my business page. Yes... very professional.. well done.

I've been a member for almost 18 months or so and I absolutely love the energy and ideas that come from spending time with the EC guys. I'm a current member of the EC Programme and I'm already seeing a huge impact in my own business. Thanks a MILLION to Nige, Michelle and everyone involved.

I ve been a member of the EC for about 8 years now and love it. Not only do I get the best training, amazing business support and fabulous events and conferences, I m also part of this extensive EC family who support and help each other. Nigel and the EC team are amazing, there s always someone on hand if you need help and they are constantly looking for new and innovative ways to help and support entrepreneurs! Thank you EC!

When the convention was rearranged for 5th to the 7 th October I was gutted as I would be on holiday in Portugal at the same time! With the magic of the virtual convention presented by Nigel and his team I was able to watch a significant part of the convention and will watch the bits I missed later on.
The quality of the guest speakers was superb with my favourite Marcus Sheridan today.
Thank you to all at the EC for a fabulous three days!
Mark Evans, Chelmsford, Essex

Being part of the EC is like having your batteries changed to Duracell!

Just had a day at the New EC Training Academy, spending time away from my business with other highly motivated entrepreneurs is exactly the sort of environment to get my creative juices flowing. Thanks EC Team!

An absolute LIFELINE for me and my business. Nigel, Michelle, Frahana and the team just RADIATE passion for business throughout every talk or course I go on. The Entrepreneur's Circle is the single most valuable subscription I have for my company at present. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. Best Wishes, Jonny ----------------- PS: Picture of Michelle's leaky bucket attached :-P

Joining the EC is a no brainer. Apart from the brilliance of Nigel (especially at live events) his staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. Great marketing ideas and if your business does not grow implementing even just one of their ideas I would be surprised. You meet up with other entrepreneurs too (once the live events re commence) who you can bounce ideas off and come away with fresh and innovative marketing skills

If you own or run a business, then you will benefit from being a member of the Entrepreneurs Circle. Their events are first-class! Full of useful ideas, inspiration and proper training on how to implement things that will help you to grow your business. I highly recommend them!

I have been attending the course at EC for a few months now and they are so valuable to me, the team and my business. Every course I have attending has given me new ideas and inspiration for the business.

Excellent 2 days spent at the EC on the Implementor. Thank you to all the team for all your hard work, expertise, enthusiasm and sense of fun. Very happy to be walking away today with my dream list completed!

It's difficult to put into words the value that Entrepreneurs Circle provides to me as a business at the best of times, but in these uncertain and challenging times, the value truly is 'priceless' and their generosity during lockdown has been awe inspiring. Having them accessible as a source of support and bottomless knowledge is proving to be the silver lining on the cloud that lockdown has brought. I've just spent two days with them on their virtual LinkedIn Marketing Master Class and what I have learned has given me the tools, the focus and the know-how to get on with polishing my LinkedIn profile and focusing my activity on it, so that I'm able to maximise results rather than peering into the dark without a flash light, which is how I did feel about LinkedIn prior to the Master Class. I now understand what I'm trying to achieve on LinkedIn, how it works and what success in terms of growing my network (and the possibility of sales potential) should look like. They never said it would be easy... but what they did was give me the tools to do the job. The rest is up to me! I highly recommend Entrepeneurs Circle to any business looking for support, knowledge, coaching or training. They are simply the best!

Best single investment I ve made to growing my business ever. They are true testimony to success and it s a pleasure to be a member.

Nigel and his team are bloody amazing.

Welldone guys and thank you for all your help.

Even through Covid, you guys kept it going planned extra support work shops, work books and kept me motivated.

And you ran the getting and keeping customers convention which considering the problems was amazing!! Welldone guys and thank you!!!

We have been members of the EC for the past 3 years now and I can honestly say it has taken our business to the next level. We have been in business for 20 years, but never have we had so much growth as since joining Entrepreneurs Circle. Nothing is ever too much trouble and this goes for all staff and even the business owner, Nigel, himself. If you want to get everything you need to make your business really soar, this is the place to go!

Fantastic replacement convention that COVID couldn't disrupt. Fantastic people, fantastic key speakers and brilliant content.

I have been a member of Entrepreneurs Circle for a number of years, and I have to say that I have been provided with value every step of the way. As far as marketing goes, they know there stuff, and more importantly are happy to share it with you. Really recommend checking them out if you are looking to crack the 'Rhythmic Acquisition of Customers'

Just attended a fantastic event that I truly believe will elevate my business next year. Great content & great venue!

EC is a great place for small businesses. They have a wealth of information available to make sure you are spot on with all your marketing and Nigel's clinics during the Corona Virus are invaluable

We have been members of many years now . Fantastic support and help if you want to thrive in business!

I am so disappointed with the service from Lead Cycle / Entrepreneurs Circle. Buyer be very aware.
A disastrous Facebook campaign including typos which I was not given the opportunity of approving before launch. Customers clicked to win a prize they did not read the very long and wordy copy and had no idea what was being advertised! I call this a failed campaign. It has done nothing for my business whatsoever and simply caused me a great deal of additional work and stress. I put this down to experience and bad luck and I have written off the money spent on this.
I lost faith in your business and understandably did not wish to carry on with any further campaigns.
However, and this is where my grievance lies, you took money from debit card (without authorisation) for 2 more campaigns. I did not sign a contract with you but you refuse to refund me. To take money for work that you never carried out is simply daylight robbery. I was told rather abruptly that this is your policy and that there is no re-course.

EC are a must have resource for all small business owners. Their stuff never fails to help you develop your own businesses system to rhythmically generate and gain new customers

My son and I started our business part-time a couple of years ago (very young).
January 2019 my son took the leap of faith whilst I continued my day job and working part-time. 2020 was the year it was decided to go full-time in August.
Well after my son had an injury beginning of March 2020 I decided to join him full-time, I handed in my notice which ended 27th March 2020.
I was unemployed because jobs were being cancelled and delayed left right and centre.
I joined EC on the FREE offer for 3 months, I studied lots of content, it is amazing.

We are not a large company but once I started implementing the advice from EC the booking started flooding in, we are in our 3rd consecutive month of nearly doubling our sales in.

I would highly recommend EC and we have only just started

Excellent sequential business planning process. Thank you, it was valuable, practical, implementable - just what I needed!

Orla is my coach and she has been fantastic. I have never done any marketing for my business and she has helped me so much. The marketing sessions with Nigel are fantastic as well and the vault is a gold mine of information. I wish I had heard about EC before as learning so much. Thank you EC

We currently deal with Michelle Squire at the EC who is absolutely brilliant. She is always at the end of the phone or e-mail if we need help with anything at all and her ideas and vision have brought our business on leaps and bounds in the recent months. She has supported us all through lock down and kept our spirits up and provided us with many ideas when we have needed to adapt during the current climate - we can't thank her enough!! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Michelle and the EC

The entrepreneurs circle is one of my favourite places in the world a hive of business excellence is contained within the walls, setting a great example for how one should and could run their own business.

An incredibly informative and helpful 3 days. Even if you think you know it all.... you don't. Thank you.

There s so much to Entrepreneur s Circle it s hard to know where to start.
To me, it s the richest source of training and support you could ever hope to find.

Their online resources are all there for you to tap in to; there s loads of events where you can learn new stuff; meet up with like-minded people and meet and listen to some great speakers in the public eye today.

And if you re ever struggling with anything there s Nige and his brilliant team on hand to support you and get you back on track.

What s not to like.

Nigel differs from any other coach or mentor that I have followed in that not only is he a fantastic motivator but he actually walks the walk. As well as sharing great business wisdom with us in a fun, high energy environment he is also happy the share the processes, systems and results of his actual businesses activities and revealing the success (and occasional blips) that his activities produced. And for me this is what positions the EC so far above any other programme I have ever seen. In these two days Nigel showed us step by step, and in great detail, the exact process that I need to follow to produce my own highly effective sales and ,marketing system which will consistently deliver the volumes I need to deliver the business that I have always wanted - I can't remember the last time that I was going into a new year with such clarity

I was only able to stay for the morning session of the first day. I was impressed with the introduction and the workbook.
A genuine lot of hard work had gone into developing the two day programme and from the beginning I was totally impressed. Absolute pity I had to attend an emergrncy gas leak call out which developed into the installation of a new gas boiler. A task I could not turn down. I hope to be able to see the rest of the programme when the recording is released. May I take this opportunity to thank Nigel and his team for the outstanding presentations and online teachins they have presented over the last 4+ months. Keep up your great work and the country will be back on its feet in no time.
Des and James Walker

Cannot thank Michelle Squire and the team at EC for such amazing support and guidance. Communication is excellent and I would highly recommend if you are looking to grow your business.

Wow. I am never disappointed with Nigel's presentations. I assumed that Making 2021 the Best Year Ever would be the usual goal-setting kind of stuff. Ha! There was that, but SO much more, and so specific about the importance of the maths.
Here's the thing - I had fun! Now, that has got to be the hallmark of a good training, especially when it was focused mostly on numbers!

Great knowledge clearly and enthusiastically presented. Helpful, and probably essential, for any business owner who wants to do "better"!

Terrible service for a company that is meant to be 'helping' businesses.

Do not buy anything from them unless you want to get stuck in. It's really not what you think, there are a lot better products out there.

Great day at the |EC today learning about hiring from the Philippines - lots of great content and can't wait to implement!

A superb presentation, very clearly set out and easy to understand. Brilliant content that can be implemented immediately.

As always motivating, informative, and usable stuff in bucketloads ! Thanks again and see you next year. The selection of slides in the workbook could perhaps have been improved, but that's picking faults to show I was paying attention !

Events like at Ad Astra make every penny of E.C. Membership worthwhile.
Where else would you get the opportunity to engage with the Best Business Brains in the Country who want to help you Grow Your Business and Increase Your Profits

Such an amazing 2 days as Michelle, Fro and James shares knowledge, wisdom, laughter and giggles while attending "The Programme"
It has blown me away, - hot seating, interaction, tools and methods to grow our business ideas into reality so we can help others grow too.
my heart sings with gratitude,
thank you so much
Natasha

The first event I've been to (The Entrepreneurs Marketing & Sales System) has been worth the membership alone.

Nigel is a very clever man. He gives a lot of value and I am very happy to recommend him and his team.

Having had lots of contact and also lots of money spent on coaching programs I can honestly say there is no other like EC. There is so much content constantly where you receive face to face and One to One coaching, they are a longstanding company and never ever sit on their laurels it's hard to keep up as they are so active constantly bringing out new stuff for you to try out and learn. The biggest difference with EC compared to others is they are human and they have been where you are! They have a solution for every hurdle. It can be tough and sometimes lonely running a business, so if you want to grow your business instead of just ticking along. Then call EC and find out for yourself. I promise you you wont regret it.

A quality organisation. Great support and a deep understanding of contemporary marketing, that all small businesses would benefit greatly from.

An epic 2 days of plotting, planning and making major strides in my business. Fantastic support and inspiring content.

It was the pure gold leadership from Nigel and the EC team during lockdown that inspired me to move up and out of my business to work on it, not in it, cut costs by 30%, nurture my customers back and market it. I overcame my shyness to ask Nigel a question on one of the EC clinic's zoom calls and it gave me the confidence to learn how to set up an online course so I could teach it and market it as a business. I realised that without solid tools most of the online courses are just a load of baloney and by devouring the gold nuggets that are in the EC vault , the answers are all there . I cannot thank Nigel, Michelle and the team enough. Watch out for the next part of my journey..

Just waved (virtually) goodbye to the fabulous EC team at the end of the 3 day Getting and Keeping Customers Virtual Convention. The content, the structure and the energy of these 3 days has impressed me SO much! Thought provoking, inspiring and practical - can't rate this experience highly enough.

I have been using the EC's LeadCycle to help with my marketing recently and just wanted to publicly thank Kiran for all her help over this period. I have not been the easiest person and changed my mind during the process. No problem though as Kiran has calmly explained everything and made all necessary changes. When it wained slightly Kiran was on the ball, before I even noticed and added a fab video to get even better exposure. It's great to have my own marketing manager, which is what it feels like to help me drive my marketing forward. LeadCycle might not work for everyone but it sure worked for me with Kiran's excellent help and calm advise along the way Thanks EC and especially Kiran Sidhu, you're a star.

Spent a great two days thinking and listening to the best way to set up your business for success in terms of marketing and nurturing leads. The light bulb moment for me was the quick wins and how you don't need to get overwhelmed just tick off one or two things a month! Thanks Nige

Having been a member for 9 years now, EC is my go to place for not just keeping up to date with the ever changing world of marketing, but whenever a marketing opportunity comes up someone at the EC will have the answer of making the most of it. Thank you Nige and the team.

The Entrepreneurs' Marketing and Sales System course is one of the best I have attended. Nigel has broken down a complex process and sytemised it with a host of tools and resources to go with it. Highly recommend this course to any aspiring professional business owner.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY....Very disappointed with the lead cycle service. Ads & Leads were poor quality and also hardly any communication or interaction. We are still waiting for a refund on the ad spend i know they had left. extremely upset to be writing this review but no response and feel i have no other option.

I've been a member of EC for several years now and I can honestly say that the content delivered by Nigel and his team continues to get better and better. My business would certainly not be where it is today had I not adopted many of the techniques I've learned, but also the support from other EC members has been invaluable to me.

Been using the EC for around 9 years now!!! Just an amazing group to be a part of. Thanks to all of them :)

The Ad Astra Masterclass was awesome. So comprehensive and detailed -- a must watch for every business owner especially given the current economic challenges.

wow wow wow! Just wanted to say thank you Nigel, Cameron and Claire its been a pleasure being in your company for the last 2 days I've honestly learnt so much so thanks for all your input and hard work - its appreciated Gail

Engaging content and seriously helpful for someone just starting out in marketing.

Cannot recommend the EC highly enough - excellent information and learning about how to market my business. Thanks!

The EMSS Masterclass was a great event. Delivered with the energy and enthusiasm that is typical of EC. So much good information to take away and implement in my business. Looking forward to being coached through this system with Penny next year. I truly believe it will transformation me and my company.

Great Course : Scale Your Business Nigel Botterill and Mark Norbury as part of the Entrepreneurial Circle membership. Good learning and excellent value for membership free.

These guys (Entrepreneurs Circle) spammed me mercilessly. Very unprofessional.

I've been running my own business for decades. This Masterclass has revealed to me areas of running a business I never considered before. Very insightful and extremely well presented. Thank you Nigel and Martin. Looking forward to the next one.

If you re a business owner and you re not part of the Entreprenuers Circle then you re seriously missing out!
I ve been a member for 3 years and I ve learnt so much in such a short space of time. I actually feel so different now to when I joined. My head is in such a better place. I ve got so much clarity, I ve got solid goals, and I m going to achieve every single one of them.
3 years ago I thought I was doing a pretty good job running my business, it was ticking along, not doing too bad, then I joined the EC and my life changed forever.
My business is now on another level completely, all thanks to the EC.
I ve implemented so much of what I ve learnt from them - things like managing my time more effectively, Staff management, customer service, marketing, not to mention how much my confidence has grown.
It s not easy growing your business.
There is no easy answer, no quick route, you ve just got to learn, prioritise and implement.
Nigel is one of the most inspiring people I have ever had the pleasure to meet.
I ve learnt so much from him, and I can t thank him enough for the support he s given me.
If you re going to join, get involved in everything as much as you can, and I promise you ll thank yourself for doing so, like I do now.
Thank you to Nigel and all of the EC team

Business coaching with Michelle at Entrepreneurs Circle is the best decision we could have made. To have a practical, organised and successful process to follow with the support of such an experienced, professional and vibrant coach is absolutely fabulous.

We have total faith in the both Michelle and the process we are following. We can now work towards our goals with confidence, knowing we are doing the right thing in the right order.

Highly highly recommended.

Another amazing course (Will 2 Act) delivered by the team at the EC and facilitated in his own unique style by Damian Mark Smyth. Special thanks also to Matt D Butler who looked after our every need!

I'm new to Entrepreneurs Circle, but I'm so glad I found them. The knowledge and information is excellent and everybody is so helpful! The Facebook group alone is so valuable. Great work team EC, thank you for all your help
