Our take

Based on the ratings of 2,015 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in May 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.

Chris Haroun's sales course packs 49 short tips into 54 lectures and about 1.8 hours. It runs in three parts: sales psychology, technology and communication, and pricing. The syllabus shows topics like first impressions, body language, asking for the sale, email, LinkedIn and charm pricing. Haroun leans on his Goldman Sachs and investing background. It is pitched at anyone, and no selling experience is needed. Think of it as a quick checklist and a confidence boost rather than a full sales system.

Happy reviewers call it practical, easy to follow and encouraging. One says it shifted their mindset, and another says it feels more human than other courses they have taken. Haroun's delivery gets credit for being warm and clear. The complaints are steady, though. Lower-star reviewers say the advice is basic, repetitive, or built around face-to-face meetings and job interviews instead of online selling. One reviewer says it lacked real material and mentions poor video editing. Still, 1,340 of 2,015 ratings are five stars.

The pricing part is the thinnest, at six lectures and about four minutes, so it will not replace a dedicated pricing course. The course was last updated in May 2025, which is recent enough. A free book version and optional workbooks come with it. It is a fair first step for beginners who want encouragement and a list of habits to try. Anyone with real selling experience will probably find it too light.

Best forNewcomers to sales or small business owners who want a quick mindset boost and practical habits, not a deep system.
Skip it ifYou have sold for years and want advanced tactics, scripts, or current methods for selling online.

Pros

  • Short at 1.8 hours, so it is easy to finish in a sitting or two
  • Reviewers say the tips are easy to follow and shift their mindset
  • Goes beyond in-person selling: email, LinkedIn, automation and content
  • Needs no selling experience, and a free book version is included

Cons

  • Some reviewers call the advice basic or repetitive, with topics restated in new words
  • Several tips lean on face-to-face selling and feel dated for online sales
  • The pricing section is six lectures and about four minutes, so it is very light
I love how easy it is to understand and apply. I already feel a shift in my mindset for the better.
Geoffrey Chima Grace Nneka, a student

Labeled All Levels, but it really suits true beginners. Experienced sellers will find much of it basic.

A free book version of the course is included for free. This course is based on my real life practical experience; In my career I have humbly sold well over 1 million courses in every country and before I taught online, I sold many IPOs when I worked on Wall Street at Goldman Sachs. Also when I worked in the hedge fund and venture capital industries, I raised and managed more than 1 billion dollars by meeting with and selling to small and large investors all over the world.

I have also helped many of my students to sell products, services or themselves to get the customers or job of their dreams!

This is definitely a course that I never knew I needed. I love that it is split in sections. For the longest of time when I heard the words "sales" there was that invisible undertone of "manipulation" but the teachings here is very different. It makes us connect to the person first. I am an entrepreneur and cannot wait for the section where they talk about pricing strategy.

By David Maurizio on 12/2/2025

Overall, I found the course very valuable and well structured. The content was practical, clearly explained, and immediately applicable to real-life situations. I especially appreciated the balance between theory and actionable strategies, as well as the engaging delivery. Thank you for providing such a useful and insightful learning experience.

By Anonymized User on 4/15/2025

It's hard to cover for every situation, e.g. sales managers, entrepreneurs or people looking for a new job, so not everything was equally relevant to me, but there were good impulses and I liked Chris's delivery.

By Juan Jamjam Duku on 7/8/2024

There are mainly three concepts to consider when selling a product or services they include psychology, communication/ technology, and pricing techniques

By Lucien Mostert on 5/7/2024

Chris was very informative, and I learnt a lot from this course that I can definitely apply to my everyday life when doing sales. Thank you Chris for the brilliant course and the positive attitude through out.

By Anonymized User on 9/10/2023

I recently completed the course and I have to say it's the MOST original course I've ever taken! I'm a dedicated online course enthusiast, but Chris's material is incredibly creative. His examples make concepts stick in your mind in a simple and dynamic way. Moreover, his passion for teaching is contagious! I have three favorite parts of the course, although it's hard to choose. First, the example of Steve Jobs was really inspiring. Second, his valuable insights on personal branding and how to sell yourself on LinkedIn were game-changers for me. And, of course, I can't forget the motivating quotes he sprinkles throughout the course. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Chris!"

By Brian Harte on 3/10/2023

This is one of the best sells courses I have taken. It covers just about everything you need to know to improve your sells. I love the workbook where I can write down how to apply each lesson to my business.

By Abdikarim H Farah on 8/27/2022

Amazing teaching, audience attention capturing, professionalism. Easy to follow the training and education provided by Christ Haroun. I like the empowering wisdom that says “ When 1 teaches…, 2 people learns” meaning “No teacher = No one learns”. Go ahead and get the course guys. You won’t regret, but yet to be so proud of yourself that you took this course. Very best, -✍AK

By Cynthia Calhoun on 7/23/2022

As someone who is trying to build an art business, I am really trying to adopt an entrepreneur mindset an apply it. I appreciate all the tips and ideas to really level up and be exceptional rather than ordinary. I also am grateful for the free resources offered in the course as well as the useful exercises. I already had a business plan in place before starting this course, but I now know I want to modify it so that I can incorporate things like upselling and subscriptions. Good stuff!

By Monica Mandikova on 5/29/2022

I love how this course makes me see things that I sometimes do automatically when I sale in a new light - through a business person's lens and not just through a sales person's lens. This makes me more conscious of what I do right and what I need to work on. My perception of the sales process is changing and I do find this course very helpful.
