What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

I like that the sevice helps me keep in touch w/ customers, but they need to have taken the SIMPLE SIMPLE step of requesting a professional expert write teh articles Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

on vegetable gardening ( they said to use rubber tire chips in the vegetable garden as a mulch- dangerous poison heavy metals and carcinogens in tire chips) the electrical articels recommend that if homeowners have experience with electrical they can do landscape lighting projects and hookups themselves (ILLEGAL?) this is insane and I can't believe I attached my name to it and I'm embarrassed and cancelled after 6 weeks once I realized how badly I embarrassed myself. They are a HUGE multimillion dollar company and they cant find an electrician or a gardnener to write a two page article. I CAN WRITE MY OWN ARTICLES IN 90 MINUTES THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MANAGEMENT DON"T LISTEN TO MY MULTIPLE CALL IN REQUESTS FOR CHANGES TO ARTICLES AND THEY ARE SQUANDERING A HUGE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE AN IMPACT BY PISSING OFF PROFESSIONALS WITH ETHICS LIKE ME. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OutboundEngine:

USE a service that has experts writitng the articles so they don't embarrass you with hack and iirresponsible writers writing incorrect information about a topic and additionally telling customers to try electrical projects on their own. EVERY article seems to NOT be written by someone with comprehension professional topic being written about. Its foolish and dissapointing . ITs also expensive compared to other services, more than three tiems as much as average for the same service. you are paying for marketing and also for outbound to cause you a lawsuit by slapping your name at the bottom of an article recommending cusotmser put TIRE CHIPS IN THE VEGETABLE GARDEN. SCARY ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OutboundEngine solving and how is that benefiting you?

I will be using a different service to connect with customers by email Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sarah Philips of OutboundEngine

Andrew, we're so sorry to hear this, we take these complaints seriously and we immediately looked into this issue. I see that you partnered with OutboundEngine in January (2 months ago) and you are still a customer. Upon further inspection we found that the articles you mention in your review weren't drafted or sent by OutboundEngine. We would love to connect and address any concerns you may have, but perhaps you've reviewed our company by mistake? We'll give you a call as soon as possible to discuss.

What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

I have had the service now since January for email marketing, Facebook, linked in and twitter. Its a great resource to help build your personal brand. It helps to subconsciously get your name in front of people without being intrusive. Overall goal is to get more customers without constantly beating them down. I am all about building relationships and expand.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

I get about a 10% open rate - Would be nice to see more tools to engage the prospects to open and respond. I think some of the emails might go out to spam. But they promise they have a science to prevent that from happening.

Tools could be a cheaper to compete with what is out there but it does the job. I have seen products for under 99.00 per month.

They do get you for a 1 yr membership before you can cancel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OutboundEngine:

It takes a few months for the system to really preform for you. They also do tests on your email database before it starts to send it out to the whole database. It has a great presence on Facebook, linked in and Twitter it makes the posts to your accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OutboundEngine solving and how is that benefiting you?

exposure gets me in front of potential prospects without prospecting. Takes some of the fuss out of the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
