OutboundEngine

I purchased OBE to help with lead generation. They offered websites, email campaigns, and social media posts. I was looking for help in two areas: keeping in touch with my existing customers and finding new ones.

I am a Realtor who was looking for a company to provide good content to be managed by them onto my website. What I wanted is for them to handle my current website with IDX exchange as well as ever changing content through the website, social media and the like. I told them I needed one company to handle it all. I signed up and 2 days later they were conducting my "onboarding". After 15 minutes into the process, I could tell they were not equipped to do what I was lead to believe they COULD do. I stopped everything in its tracks and asked for my money back and to void the contract. Buyers remorse set in quick but the manager basically said "sorry, nothing I can do". So less than 72 hours from signing once a techy who really knew the system explained I would need to use another company for the IDX and use OutboundEngine for the other. I TOLD THEM THAT I AM TRYING TO SCALE DOWN THE COMPANIES NOT ADD ANOTHER... ! It seems it fell on deaf ears. PLEASE RETHINK YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM....

OutboundEngine is being used throughout our entire organization and is relatively new to me. I was looking for a program initially that would help me manage my clients, as I had a difficult time keeping my current and past clients straight, and I wanted to be able to reach out to past clients regarding recurring shoots and potential jobs. OutboundEngine streamlines this process, and their content is professional and thorough without looking too sales-y. It has addressed the contact disorganization issue while bringing in new leads and initiating recurring jobs with past clients.

The best things about OutboundEngine are the content and social media management. As a newer company, we initially were not able to manage our social media and outreach properly because we didn't have the time or manpower. However, OutboundEngine was a great help with that. We were doing everything manually to stay in contact with clients (sending out emails and responding to clients), but with OutboundEngine, it makes things a lot easier. We were able to generate and send out unique, relevant content without having to think about it, and clients have responded and been more engaged with the company. We are able to send out relevant content to clients without having to think about it, and contact with clients goes both ways. When clients are in need of marketing services, even when they don't have an active campaign going, we are at the top of their mind and are more likely to generate new business leads for us. OutboundEngine is simultaneously tackling lead generation, client outreach, and social media/online presence management.

OutboundEngine is an automated advertising campaign that keeps you engaged in social media platforms. It allows you to add or adjust posted material and help keep your database engaged and to add to your data base. It is easy to use and has a mobile app as well. This is an excellent product.

Excellent for streamlining marketing and has helped us boost our online and social media presences significantly. It has been used specifically in the marketing and customer service departments to ensure better communication with clients and keep in contact with them. It addresses the lack of communication between designers, account managers/customer service, and clients.

It's excellent because it has helped me provide my clients with educational, insightful articles without making me sacrifice more time than needed. Since I have such a small business, it's difficult to stretch my time to meet all the needs of the company. I get too focused on meeting clients' immediate needs and forget about long-term outreach and contact. OutboundEngine's content is engaging, thought-provoking, and relevant topics to both my business and my clients' fields with respect to my company's involvement. OutboundEngine has been terrific with making sure I stay in touch with people and that things like content emails and social media don't get swept under the rug by accident.

Keeping in touch with such a wide client base and network can be difficult. However, OutboundEngine helps sort client information and send out emails, etc. in an organized and cohesive manner. It keeps everything organized and together so it's easy to reach out to a specific person, or a large group of people, whenever needed. It addresses the issues of organization in the marketing and outreach areas and is being mainly used in marketing.

We use it for sending out generic newsletters by email. It is only being used by the marketing department. The use is for keeping our clients informed. One major problem with this service is if another company has your contact on their list you cannot email them. Out of over 600 contacts, we could only email less than 200.

It's being used to streamline marketing and make sure that we're consistently communicating with past and current clients. It addresses the issues of inconsistent communication, lack of follow-through, and a small presence on social media.

I am a small operation and I rely on Outbound to publish a bi-monthly newsletter. They post on three different social media accounts for me. It saves me a lot of time and makes me look more professional as well, like an expert. The company is very affordable and they don’t pressure me into using more services.

I have been using Outbound Engine for 3 years to keep in touch and top of mind with my clients and sphere of influence. In the real estate industry, 90%+ of clients said they would use the same realtor again if they could recall their name. Since there are on average 10 years between purchases, unless you can stay top of mind, clients tend to forget over that time.

I was the subscriber. A loan consultant that I worked with highly recommended OutboundEngine to me. He loved the program because he found several new clients as a result.
I signed up for OutboundEngine, and the staff was very hardworking. They helped me organize my social media sites, helped me to create a Facebook Business Page, and sent helpful information to future buyers and sellers. I did gain at least 2 clients as a result of signing up with OutboundEngine.

I use OutboundEngine as part of my marketing and customer retention plan for my team. OutboundEngine sends out a monthly newsletter to my database with timely and relevant information related to owning a home and the mortgage lending process. The "touches" for each newsletter are tracked and the engagement by the user is saved on a website for me so I can make follow-up calls based on these results.

OutboundEngine is one of our lead services for new business and client retention. We currently use it throughout the organization. New business acquisition is our primary use of Outbound Engine. It is also a way we keep in contact with our existing clients.

I chose OutboundEngine to help me with lead generation and to stay in contact with my customers.

Our agency uses OutboundEngine to help with our social media presence. The services offered help keep us in front of many people with Facebook, LinkedIn, emails, and Twitter content with relevant information pertaining to our industry. We receive a favorable response from the postings.

We utilize OutboundEngine to maintain contact with our growing client base. This site helps me to keep "top of mind" with my clients and prospects no matter where they in the sales funnel.

Even though the price is high, it is much lower than what it would cost to staff a larger marketing team; therefore the ROI is high. There is great customer service with this company and there isn't a lot of time commitment because it's so user-friendly. If I could change one thing, it would be to offer more menu options instead of block packages so I can customize it. However, my organization's experience with OutboundEngine has been overall positive.

I was cold-called by the company. As a licensed real estate agent it is pretty easy to find my number. The sales person told me they could increase my online exposure and generate "a ton" of followers and/or new customer inquires by providing useful and timely generated emails to my existing email data base. All I had to do was give them my database contact info, they would then create the emails and I would watch to see who clicked on, followed, inquired, etc. The start-up cost was $545 and $448 a month.

Nobody ever called, emailed or even inquired from the email campaigns. The only followers I ever had were the same existing clients that already followed me. While the content of the service is not bad and perhaps even a necessary evil, the problem arose when I tried to cancel after 6 months of using the service.

I was told on multiple calls from the very beginning the program was a simple pay per month basis and I can cancel anytime. In the beginning, I had multiple emails asking to set up a conference call to provide my email database and get started. Nowhere was anything ever implied, provided, stated or written that I had committed to any long term program. I have had other companies that have a separate person call and confirm what you are signing up for and for how long. I emailed and tried to cancel after 6 months. Beware, someone from the company will call you and attempt to get you to stay on. They will continue to argue and threaten to continue charging your card for up to 1 year. Immediately after hanging up they charged my card for another month! Stay away....desperate people/companies do desperate things!

OutboundEngine makes my business appear more professional and knowledgeable. It is being used across the whole organization and addresses issues like time management. I am able to ensure that relevant articles appear on my business's web pages and online feeds. It has helped me expand the reach of my business.

I use OutboundEngine to stay connected with my database. I trust OutboundEngine to provide relevant content with an acceptable frequency to my various social media sites. As a real estate agent, they effectively address the need to keep me first of mind with past clients and those I have recently met. This allows me to stay focused on lead generation and networking.

I use OutboundEngine to send regular communication to my clients, prospects, and centers of influence. It helps keep my name in front of people who could be clients or could refer clients on a regular basis.

OutboundEngine is a life saver for busy realtors. They handle sending first class, relevant postings on social media that pertain to you and your business, plus they offer other services. Their prices are very reasonable as they design everything. They're located in Austin, Texas, and therefore understand the Texas market and what is an appropriate posting relevant to our state, as opposed to some others I've tried that were located in other states and didn't have a clue what was relevant to Texas real estate.

I have had the service now since January for email marketing, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. It's 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.
