💬 Coach Testimonials from SquadUp Alums
@kyndhalugc - SquadUp Coach Alum

“This program was exactly the push I needed to get back into coaching. It was incredibly rewarding to see my mentees succeed and know that I played a real part in helping them increase their sales. SquadUp also gave my coaching program more visibility, reaching affiliates beyond my existing network. I loved connecting with other SquadUp Coaches and learning from their experiences too. Having previously run my own TikTok Shop coaching program, I felt completely aligned with this initiative. I'm proud to share that several of my participants saw major growth — some tripled, even 10x’d their income and sales while working with me.”

One standout moment was when creators finally “got” the viral hook formula and saw their content take off; many hit 6-figure views within days. But the real highlight was watching people shift from confused and overwhelmed to confident and monetized."
