FTC sends second payment to people who paid for training programs
The FTC is sending a second round of payments to people who paid for telemarketing training programs sold by The Sales Mentor. The programs included Sales Closer Academy, Inbound Closer, Inbound Closer Accelerator, and Sales Pro Academy.
The FTC sued The Sales Mentor, and the company paid money to settle. The Sales Mentor promised that people who bought its programs would make big money in telemarketing sales. But the FTC says that wasn’t true.
The FTC first sent payments in January 2025, which resulted in more than $802,000 in refunds. Because there is still money remaining in the fund, the FTC is sending 1,623 payments totaling more than $136,000 to people who accepted their first payment.
