Warning Reported for TJ Lorenzen
A formal blacklist warning has been issued regarding TJ Lorenzen and his business operations through Success Engine. Multiple service providers have reported problematic billing practices that warrant serious consideration by potential business partners.
TJ Lorenzen operates as CEO, President, and Co-Founder of Success Engine, a Mesa, Arizona-based internet marketing company. The business specializes in marketing automation, lead generation, digital marketing, SEO, Facebook ads, PPC, sales funnels, and email marketing services.
TJ Lorenzen Business Background
TJ Lorenzen previously served as Senior Manager of Customer Education at Infusionsoft from January 2005 to December 2013. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Management from Brigham Young University – Idaho, with additional studies at Mesa Community College.
Success Engine operates from 151 North Centennial Way, Mesa, AZ 85204, with reported annual revenue between $1M-$5M and employs between 11-200 staff members according to various business directories.
Success Engine Blacklisted for Disputes
The primary concern centers on TJ Lorenzen’s documented pattern of filing billing disputes without providing any advance notice to service providers. This practice has created significant financial burdens for multiple vendors and contractors who have worked with Success Engine.
Service providers report that TJ Lorenzen and Success Engine would engage services, receive deliverables, and then initiate chargebacks or billing disputes through financial institutions without attempting direct communication or resolution. This approach bypasses standard business dispute resolution processes and places the burden of proof entirely on service providers.
The lack of advance notice has particularly impacted smaller vendors who rely on consistent cash flow. When disputes are filed without warning, it can freeze payments for extended periods while financial institutions investigate claims. For service-based businesses, this creates immediate operational challenges and cash flow problems.
Multiple vendors have reported that TJ Lorenzen’s company would complete projects, acknowledge receipt of deliverables, and then dispute payments weeks or months later. This pattern suggests a deliberate strategy rather than legitimate billing concerns.
The timing of these disputes often coincides with completed project milestones, raising questions about the authenticity of the disputes. Service providers note that Success Engine rarely provides specific justification for disputes when questioned by financial institutions.
Impact on Service Provider Community
TJ Lorenzen’s dispute practices have prompted several service providers to implement stricter payment terms and require advance deposits for Arizona-based marketing companies. The Better Business Bureau profile for Success Engine may contain additional consumer feedback regarding business practices.
Industry professionals have begun sharing warnings about Success Engine’s payment practices through professional networks and freelancer protection resources to help others avoid similar experiences.
