What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

Willing to work with my schedule and didn't truly PRESSURE me to get the product but were forthcoming that they were looking for my business.

Amber Harding was my sales agent and she was willing to call me back a full WEEK after our first phone call which means a lot to me in my line of work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

A little robotic in the sales pitch. I would have preferred a more open dialogue designed to get down to the heart of what I wanted to accomplish. Instead I had to look beyond the pitch for that value but in the end we found it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Consistency in Social Media and a way to expand my footprint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

The actual reps trying to help you set up your account are very helpful. For folks wanting to really work their sphere and database for referrals, etc., this product has potential. But watch out for the corporate trickery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

Despite giving written notice in Nov 2021 that I did not wish to renew in Summer 2022 they came up with a lame excuse on how I had to reach out again closer to the end of my contract. And, of course they couldn't mark my account for non-renewal BUT they can certainly click a button for autopay each month. Be wary and hope that if you try this product that you never need to cancel it because they will screw you for their own benefit. I Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I never got into Outbound Engine much because my business approach changed shortly after signing up to focus on growing the brokerage rather than my sphere or team contacts. I communicated that with an account rep very early on but it seems their management won't recognize those taped phone calls or written emails because it wasn't close enough to my contract expiration date.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

Paying for it. It is a good program and worth the money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

No sure if I have any problems. But what they do is keep me on my social media and they get an email newsletter out so I don't 't need to worry about spending time on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

There was nothing helpful about the product or team. They have the worst customer service in the industry. During my onboarding call, it was suggested that I can create my own content. I thought at that point, what am I really paying for here?! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

I wish I would have read some of these negative reviews before signing up with this company. I went through my sales call with one of the account executives, and it was explained that Outbound Engine would have content for my business partners. The main reason I decided to proceed with Outbound Engine was so that I could engage my business partners. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I was also told that Outbound Engine would register my business on 72 different directories, during my onboarding call, it was explained that I would have to complete the directory information on my own for directories that I had already signed up for. Why would the salesperson say that they would register me on these directories, and make sure that my existing information was correct on existing directories if that was not the case. It seemed too good to be true because it was. I tried to reach out to their customer success team and was promised a call on Monday, 5/16/22, no one reached out. I called back on Thursday to follow up, and received a return call, the representative said that I signed a contract and tried to retain my business for a lower price. I wanted to cancel my services with Outbound Engine. I never used their platform and never got through my onboarding call because of all the discrepancies. Shame on them for handling the situation the way that they did. Where's the customer service that you provided me during your sales call? This company is a scam, and I would not recommend their services to anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OutboundEngine:

Have a clear understanding of what's included with the Outbound Engine technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Outbound Engine could not help me with my business because they do not offer any marketing to my business partners as explained during my sales call. I would also like to point out that they do not set you up on the directories that you have credentials for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

Good quality and relevant content to your industry. They will also provide custom emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

The inability to post a custom flyer to social media.

Would like a bit more program-specific email blasts for the commercial financing industry.

When there are multiple users from the same company the content is the same. It would be nice to spread these articles out or rotate them so we're not sending out the same content in the same week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's helping me stay relevant with my database with little to no effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

It's not really that user friendly to send a customized email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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