User Testimonials
	Aklamio	OutboundEngine
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	OutboundEngine does a referral campaign and I've been able to close a couple of deals based on getting in touch with people who engage with this campaign and state they could use my services in the next 6 months. This is a great follow up tool for those you may or may not know are going to be needing your services. Incentivized Shelly Cross Broker Associate Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	The content that they generate to send to our clients is relevant and the clients want to engage with us. It makes us appear more professional and consistent, even though we are a smaller company. It helps us stay in touch with clients and helps us stay top of mind. We are able to generate more new business leads if we are in consistent contact with current, former, and potential clients. Their customer service and support is outstanding. All my questions were answered and I went into the program feeling confident and knowledgeable. JS John Stevens Sales Representative Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	Logging into Outbound Engine on my phone is difficult because I can't save the login name and password. Being able to save it would be very helpful. Posting my new listings on social media would help if that's possible. Being informed of what you're posting on social media and when would also be helpful. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	I selected it for the ability to have an automated system do 3 things all at once, social media posts, emails and the instant communication with the chat box.
