OutboundEngine Reviews

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.

I use OutboundEngine to help push my social media info out to my database as well as for email campaigns to my customers.
