World Leadership Group
World Leadership Group (WLG) is a
corporation with a business model similar to
firms like
Primerica. They combine Multi
Level Marketing with financial product sales and
market the opportunity as a personal
franchise.
Thus, members of the World Leadership
Group can sell loans for commission and
simultaneously recruit more WLG members.
It's a benefit to start a down line as you
will earn a percentage of their sales volume
just like your recruiter will profit from
you.
As with other financial service MLMs my
biggest concern is with the way they
advertise and recruit members. Often
they post vague job ads on popular resume
submission websites and schedule folks for
interviews. However, what they don't
tell them is that what they're showing up
for is a group pitch session where they're
sold on the WLG opportunity.
I find these practices to be very
misleading and frustrating as they take up
the time of folks that are looking for
real jobs. Companies like World
Leadership Group should be upfront about the
opportunity that they are offering.
Some other complaints that I have heard
about WLG were from past members that
thought the opportunity focused more on
recruitment than selling. Others have
complained that only a small percentage of
their loans were being closed.
However, it's hard to make generalizations
about World Leadership Group since results
are ultimately individually based.
Overall, the World Leadership Group
business opportunity is not an outright
scam; they do give you access to a very
competitive industry. At times their
services and membership fees may not be the
best but ultimately it's up to the
individual to make the best of the
opportunity.

Comments to date: 12. Page 1 of 1. Average Rating:  John Burdette puyallup wa | 10:34pm on Saturday, September 19th, 2009 | I joined WLG and worked very little as most people in multi levels. I thought that it was very good learning experience I think I made some where around nine thousand dollars. I had great up line support and sure I don't like all the worldly ploys that the people use to get people excited,but face it people are lazy and want to blame their negative and their miss fortunes on the company good luck to all the blamers I am glad that I take the blame for not making it work as hard as I could have. |
Terri Green Gainesville, GA | 8:03pm on Sunday, August 23rd, 2009  | As an ex employee of WLG/GRM this is a complete scam. I saw people paying their last dollars to attend motivational seminars to hear Hubert talk about all the money he has made. That money has been made of the backs and hard work of others. His favorite statement about himself was I come from box car to business star. This meaning he came up from working on the railroad. Too bad this is getting so much bad publicity. He could have had a good business going if he wasn't so greedy. I saw this from the inside. |
Pastor B Sacramento | 12:17pm on Wednesday, August 12th, 2009  | I don't know where to start because it is just another company that went belly up. I feet sorry for the people that Hubert hired at his Headquarters when they we bribed with equity of the firm. They were left empty handed. And all the team members that where promised equity which never existed. I think we should file a class action law suit against the EFC's and Hubert Humphrey for falsifying equity and residual income. Could you please join me and take lead. |
Jim Lowes | 2:46pm on Wednesday, May 27th, 2009  | I meet this lady from Las Vegas. Her name is Amy Hinajon. Weird name but she was good. I believed her and eventually lost thousands. This is just a pyramid scam. They are out of business now bit beware of this cute girl. SHE"S A SCAM |
Johnson Boston | 9:17pm on Thursday, April 23rd, 2009  | I lost $1000 to this scam WLG company. |
Derek Houston | 11:14am on Friday, February 6th, 2009  | I have to agree with you. At one time, they were focusing on recruiting more than anything else.
I am no longer with them now and good thing. I believe they went belly up because of the market.
Try to go to their website and you get a message that says they are no longer taking applications and they pretty much let go all of their employees.
How sad. |
andy tolando fl | 7:45pm on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008  | I lost 300.00 with this SCAM company wlg
if it sounds to good to be true IS NOT TRUE SCAM
and i been in sales for 20 years |
Dan Florida | 12:37am on Wednesday, September 17th, 2008  | Its sad that these people want to blaime the company for their lack of success. Its a opportunity just like anything else you still have to work. It seems to me these were the "Well, I'll give it a shot" type of people. Perhaps if they worked at it they might become successful. I have made a lot of money but I have also worked very hard. Although sometimes people might clash with their uplines personality that doesn't mean it had anything to do with the company. The person who brought me into this company was a joke in himself. However it is a real serious real estate, mortgage, and financial service company. Problem is you do actually have to work. And you don't have to buy "hype" the company is what is is and I would rather be part of something that has a positive atmosphere than something where I get yelled at and beaten up everyday. Perhaps Paul, Donna and Rubi shouldn't depend on others for their success and take it into their own hands. I would never have recruited such negative unsuccessful unmotivated people into my organization. Go watch the secret. |
JUSTIN TAYLOR | 1:57pm on Sunday, August 17th, 2008  | I MADE A LOT OF MONEY AND STILL AM. NO PROBLEM WITH WLG AT ALL. I HAVE ABOUT 450 PEOPLE ON MY TEAM AND I MAKE ABOUT 12K EVERY MONTH. I GUESS YOU DIDNT PAY ATTENTION. GO WLG |
rubi Tampa, Fl | 5:35pm on Saturday, July 19th, 2008  | I also had a horrible experience with WLG. 4 of my family members got involved w/ the company, we paid registration fees etc. We attended to meetings every weekend. They do not tell you everything upfront. You do not make any money in your firts 5 loans,(they keep that money for traing you), is very hard to get 1 loan to close. I never made any money, I lost a lot of time and money but the worst thing was that my team leader encouraged me to refinance my house showing me all the money I was going to save by refinancing with WLG and what I got was an adjustible intrest only loan (big mistake)and now my loan is growing every year. I would not recommend this company to anybody. |
Donna McGuinness Atlanta | 10:33am on Thursday, July 10th, 2008  | I was pulled into this "group" by Sam leccima. Mr. scam "flip this house" on TLC. He called me because I was an Interior Designer and wanted to learn the business. Well he invited me for a rah rah meeting and I was drawn in. They kept bringing up how much money you could make, but never how. After I left, this was spring of 06, I was called the next day to speak with sam and his wife at their apt. Little did I know Sam was being sued by a woman claiming he never had a legitimate real estate license.
Well after spending 2 hrs at his town home I had in essentially spent $150 in one afternoon for registration. Little did I know I still had to spend another $150 for the so called online training, also another thing you might want to know is...I was unemployed and this was a hardship, sam said I would do so well in training and my personality would do great in recruiting. The more you recruit the more money you make.
I went thru the training, online, the rah rah meetings, that you paid for if it was on the weekend, and my time and energy not looking for a job. I recruited someone right away but all I did was book work. When I was finally done I said to one of the managers "when do I do the outside training and start making money"? I never got an answer. Sam was lying low and he never returned my calls. I told him if I didn't start making money I was soon going down a road I didn't want to. Nothing. After 3 months I gave up. No one was willing to work with me and sam got my money as did WLG. I am not stupid. I lost so much time from looking for a real job that I put my family in real jeopardy. The only ones who make money are the ones who are in management. They train and repeat themselves while you pay more money. I wish I never heard of WLG! |
Paul southern calif | 11:15am on Tuesday, May 27th, 2008  | Anything bad you have heard about World leadership group is true. They are mostly focused more on recruitment than selling. When you start asking about the business side of thing all you get is recruit, recruit. Don't ask about selling, or doing any real work, just recruit.
Take my advice do not join this group period, it is bad company. By the way don't buy into the wlg hype eitehr. |
