What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

I'm not the best at remembering to send stay in touch with past clients. I get distracted! Outbound Engine takes that task of my 'to-do" list by sending out timely and informative emails and social media posts. They also alert me when past buyers and sellers read my emails and social media posts so that I can contact them and start a conversation. It helps me stay top-of-mind with my client base without me spending hours writing and refining content. My only gripe (and this is so minor!) is that when I have a conference call scheduled, if I'm on the phone and can't answer their call, I'm done for that month! There are no second chances! LOL! It was totally my fault and I'm certainly not the only call they have to make so I've learned to respect their time and make sure I'm available when they call. The calls are scheduled over a month in advance so it really isn't a problem. I just have to make sure I'm ready. Their communication really is excellent though. I've used other platforms where I signed up and didn't hear from them again after the initial installation. OE really keeps my in the loop. I've been very pleased with their product!~ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

As I said above, I wish I had a little bit of wiggle room on the conference calls. If I have one scheduled at 8:30 am and I can't get off the phone until 8:33, I wish they'd call me back maybe once to see if I'm off the phone. There are some phone calls that I have to take in order to provide quality service to my clients and I hate to ignore calls because they might run into my OE time. It's a minor gripe but one I've run into. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OutboundEngine:

It definitely saves me time with social media marketing. I don't have to worry about it anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I'm still working to see how many people actually open and read my emails and social media content. Sometimes, it's enough to just keep my name in front of my clients. I do have people mention that they've seen my posts so they are working. I'd like to be able to personalize my emails just a little more but that may not be possible.

What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

It's incredibly easy to remain in contact with my customer base. They get a bi-monthly email with relevant articles and I can place two articles of my own. Not only that but the times I've needed help there was someone readily available to walk me through the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

I would like a share button which would allow my customers to send an article to a friend. Similar to what Zillow has where you can forward a link and the person receiving it shows that their friend sent them something. This would help me spread my name and hopefully expand my email pool and create more opportunities for sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem was just staying relevant with my customer base. I call them for birthdays and policy reviews but this allows me to stay connected the entire year. Since I'm on their mind they can now more easily refer me as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OutboundEngine?

Nothing Special about it. The sales people are good. They make you think that you are getting something worth your while, but it’s not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OutboundEngine?

Outbound Engine is nothing special for the price. Literally anyone can do what they do. They will send out emails and post on your Facebook 2 times a month. I was not happy with the service, but they said that I was committed for a year. They could not show a contract where I signed up for a year and I was not told that I was locked in for a year. I think it’s weird that they would make someone pay for something that they were not happy with. If your product was good, you would Not have to force and trick people into paying.

The customer service is terrible. I have called and emailed and have not got a response back from someone that can Help. They said the first available person would call and that was 3 days ago. Save your money! Not a good investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
