Is Elite CEOs a Scam? It’s Got a Hidden Secret For Its Members

Elite CEO is a training course from the company of the same name that provides clients with a program on how to reach out to more people in order to increase sales. 

There are different packages offered by Elite CEO, ranging from webinars to one-on-one coaching with the founder himself. 

The company is currently located in Friendswood, Texas. 

Founder of Elite CEOs

Elite CEOs was founded by Tanner Chidester, the same person who founded Fit Warriors, an online fitness coaching business and what was believed to be Elite CEO’s predecessor. 

He claims to be a leader in the fitness industry and has diversified into dominating the online fitness world as well,.

He’s also a member of the 8 Figure Club from ClickFunnels, and we say this because he himself uses this tool. 

In 2 years he’s made well over $13 million in sales with a business that started from scratch. 

He also has a YouTube channel with about 7k subscribers and growing.

Elite CEOs is a cheap course, so don’t expect much training. This course is essentially just a front for Chidester to market his coaching services. 

In this training course, you’ll get access to these modules:

Module 1 - Facebook Group Marketing

Module 2 - Organic Messaging 1010

Module 3 - Messaging And Sales Calls

Module 4 - Intro To Facebook Ads

Module 5 - Setting Up Your Funnel

You’re also getting access to a private Facebook community group where you can interact with other members and get your questions answered. 

We’d like to assume that these modules are pretty standard in terms of content. These are probably what you’d see from the other training courses, but the only difference being that the latter might be more comprehensive and in-depth. 

We don’t want to discredit Chidester’s knowledge on these topics so we’ll leave it at that. We haven’t seen any negative feedback about his training content so that makes us want to believe that he’s done a good job with these modules.

How Much does it Cost?

The course costs you $37 to access these training modules, which is nothing more than an advertising price for Chidester. 

Once you pay off 37 bucks, you’re led to a sales funnel where Chidester offers his coaching service. 

So what’s this going to cost you?

Upsells?

Elite CEOs has upsells and that’s how Chidester makes his money. We’re not really fans of upsells from any program, but it’s just personal preference. 

What are these upsells? 

1st - ClickFunnels

We mentioned ClickFunnels earlier because this is one of the upsells you’ll find on his program. This is a software that helps you build landing pages and follow up potential and existing customers. It also allows you to send emails, pop desktop notifications, and message people via Facebook messenger. 

This service will cost you $97 per month and this upsell has his affiliate link on it, meaning he makes 50% commissions off of you. 

There are other plans that cost $297 and $2,497 within ClickFunnels. The sad thing here is that there’s no refund policy here so you can’t try it out to see whether or not you like it. 

2nd - 2 Programs

We don’t know the details of these two programs but these cost you $15 and $27 per month. We believe that they’re part of Elite CEOs’ lineup or could be another one of Chidester’s affiliate programs.

3rd - The Coaching Program

This is where Tanner tries to sell you his coaching program. This is a one-on-one coaching program with him too. 

We don’t really know what his curriculum is for teaching people but I’m sure he’s going to deliver quality lessons to their customers. 

There’s no money-back guarantee or refund policy in place for the coaching as well, so that kind of sucks.

Elite CEOs is not meant for anyone at this point, and we’ll explain in the next section below. 

#1 Expensive Upsells

Chidester is so smart for using a training course as an upsell for his coaching program. Honestly, we didn’t think that anyone would be creative enough to hide the service as an upsell. 

You already gave him the $37 so whether or not you do get the coaching service, he still got money from you.

#2 Training Is Not Enough

Elite CEOs isn’t exactly what I’d consider to be a decent training program in terms of the length of the content. 

He shows you how to run a coaching business model, but there’s no way that 5 modules will actually talk about the entirety of the business from scratch to sales. 

The only way these 5 modules would make sense is that these last for hours each.

#3 Coaching Is Difficult

Running a coaching business model is kind of difficult, especially if you don’t have the background for it yet. Sure you see people like Tony Robbins and other gurus getting people to shell out thousands of dollars for a seminar, but this isn’t going to be something for you. 

It’ll take you a few years to build up your reputation and you’ll have to be able to afford not to take in clients on your first few months.

#1 Tanner is Legitimate

If you noticed we didn’t really discredit Chidester here, nor are we after his efforts into running Elite CEOs. 

Tanner being able to close $13 million in sales in 2 years with a business he built from scratch is an impressive feat, so there might be some quality to his coaching here.

Elite CEOs isn’t a scam. It’s a legitimate training course made by a very reputable entrepreneur and marketer. 

Tanner Chidester is using Elite CEOs as a front for his coaching program, for which he’s done an amazing job at. 

Now, we can’t really say that the content of the training modules are good because they’re just too short to determine their overall quality. Granted, you’re paying $37 for the program but you get what we mean. 

The real program is hidden behind the $37, for which you’ll have to spend thousands of dollars in order to take advantage of it. Is there some value to his coaching? Maybe, but we’ll never know.
