Is High Ticket Sales A Scam (An Honest Answer)

High-ticket sales itself is legitimate, but many mentors and training programs aren't. Shelley Young breaks down how to vet a mentor (verifiable track record, transparent support) and evaluate sales offers (proven monthly collections, open metrics, no "guaranteed placement" promises). She went from £900 to £10K monthly paychecks in six months, but warns that success takes time.

You've clicked on this video because you want to know if high ticket sales is a scam, and I'm going to tell you it isn't. Yep, it isn't. It isn't a scam, but some people that are selling you the dream and the lifestyle are a little bit questionable, and I'm creating this video so you can know the difference, so you can honestly assess for yourself. The path you want to take, who you want to learn from, and how you can actually see the success that you have seen online in your reality. Because it's possible, it's there. I know this, I've done it myself. I've been in the industry for 3 years, and no, I haven't just had a mentorship the whole time. I was top 1% female sales rep globally in the high-ticket sales space. So I think I know a thing or two about this industry. So let's get into it. We're going to break this up into two parts: the mentors and the path you should take to get the education, and then the actual job itself, because they're two different things. So this industry requires you to get training for you to be able to get on the best offers. Now we're not talking about degrees; we're talking about online education, online sales training, kind of like what you're selling—the high ticket. Products and services, you have to buy one to get into the space. And that's not to guarantee you a job or anything like that, it's just to actually get the training. But there are so many people online selling training, some who are super reputable and some who are somewhat questionable. And this is not a video for any shade or anything like that, it's just the honest facts. I'm not naming any names, it is just the honest facts. And it is up to you to find out who is the best person to teach you to get the job done, to get you the result that you want, because there are so many different people out there. So you need to decide who is that person going to be for me, essentially. So first things first, you need to look at, has this person done what I want to do, and do they have the receipts? Do they have the facts that they've done it? Not the cars online, not the travel, not the business class flights, not the designer bags. The actual receipts of them doing it in the industry. Because a lot of people these days have one 10K month and then start selling a course. And you may think, but I want a 10K month. That's fine. One 10K month is nothing. 12 10K months is a different story. 12, 20, 30, 40K months is a different story. Anyone can do do things one time. You don't want to learn from someone who's just done it once and then is selling you a course. So I want you to get crystal clear on, has this person done what I want to do? Second of all, do I feel aligned with them? Can I trust them? Not just because they have the nice things, but with their vibe. For example, My girls come to me because I'm more calm, and I take the feminine approach and that softer approach, but still get results. And I do it very well, especially in a male-dominated industry. You may be watching this and be like, I actually really like that. Like, I'd love to learn from someone like that, and I'd love to learn their feminine path to sales. You may be watching this and think, I don't want to learn the feminine path to sales. I want to be pushy and masculine, and I want to be that kind of person, which is fine, then you wouldn't choose me. You know what I mean? You have to find the person who you feel calm and aligned with, and that you trust. No matter the bags and things they have online, like, facts. You have to find that person who you will pay to be vulnerable, to guide you, to actually get you the result they want. You've actually got to look at the support they're providing you. If they're not showing you inside out of the program, and if it's actually what you're buying, don't do it. You need to see it. You need to understand, what is the support like? Will I have someone I can speak to? Are there training calls? Are there modules? Is there a community? And how does this tie into, like, will I have access to the founder or not? Both are fine, but what access will I have? Will I have a coach or not? Like, what support will I actually be receiving? And you need to make sure you're asking the hard questions because a lot of people will just want to sell you, oh yeah, you're going to be taken care of, and before you know it, you're just in a program with online modules and that's it. You need to actually understand what's involved. Cheaper is not always better, but more expensive is not always better either. Like, it's finding what actually aligns. So that is very, very important to do your due diligence. Then overall, just what is their track record? Have they been able to get client results? Do they have consistent testimonials? Not just a few people, not just their closers on their team showing up as their testimonials. Legitimate hundreds of testimonials that they've worked with. Not one or two, like please bear that in mind. We need lots of testimonials. Do they have them on social media? Can they show them behind the scenes? Do they have long-form testimonials? Like, do they actually have results with— from different people with different backgrounds doing the thing that they said that they're teaching? Very important. That is like your checklist to find the right mentor. Then it comes to the job itself. Not all offers are created equally. I need you to know this. Not all offers are created equally. There are going to be some offers where you can make an absolute fortune, and there are going to be other offers where you'll be cold calling and working for free. You need to know the difference, and you need to be able to ask the hard questions to these offers to actually know if it's worth your while. This is why I do not like guaranteed placement, and I think it is one of the biggest scams of the industry, because you You won't actually know what offer you are being guaranteed on. You, most of the time, I'm sorry to say, will be guaranteed on an offer that's the latter, the cold calling, the working for free, selling in your masculine, pushing, forcing, et cetera. Because the offers that are actually the unicorn offers, the well-paying offers, they're not just going to allow anyone to sell for them. That person needs to be good. So the guaranteed placement offers are typically bad, which is why I say avoid, avoid, avoid. Offers that you want to work for has a proven track record of monthly cash collected, has a good track record of a solid team that's been with them for a while, gets good results and actually takes care of their customers, has good leadership and good management that you get training from, and is fully open and authentic about their numbers, their business, their show rate, their close rate, has nothing to hide. That is what a good offer is, and you have to know exactly how to ask those questions in order for you to actually get the results you want. And then you have to know how to analyze those numbers to actually get it to make sense to you. There's no point getting all those numbers if you don't know what they mean, and if you don't know how to tell a good offer from a bad offer. That is the next thing. You actually have to know how to analyze the numbers. And it's not necessarily gonna be sunshine and rainbows overnight. I'll give you an example. I started part-time, alongside my full-time nannying job, I did some sales in the evenings. My first paycheck was £900, nothing to write home about. My second was £2,200, and my third was £4,200. And by my 6 months, I was hitting £10K months. So it wasn't some great success overnight, it takes time, and that's okay. So if anyone is selling you a role or an outcome, that sounds too good to be true, it's a red flag. And it's very important for you to be able to actually vet what that is. So, you gotta find the right mentor who you actually align with, who's actually done what you wanna do, who's actually got lots of consistent results, and that you feel safe with. And then you've gotta find an offer that's actually going to be able to help you achieve the income that you want, and you are actually going to feel fulfillment and joy from working on it. No cold calling, no pushing, no forcing, no scamming, none of that. No guaranteed placement because we know that is not real. And that is how you do it. And I have created an hour-plus free— yes, free training telling you all the ins and outs. So what I cover today, you'll actually be able to go surface deeper to know exactly what I mean by it and how to actually do it. So I'll leave it below, you can click on it, you can watch it. Honestly, that training is gold. I can't believe I'm giving it away for free, but you can thank me later. And yeah, I'll see you in the next one.
