This company, Outbound engine, does nothing but generic marketing for you. It sounded real good on the phone. He told me he would do paid marketing for me, marketing like how I found them on facebook! That was a lie. I paid $500... for them to set up a business facebook page and post generic post on Facebook which went to no one Just like a great website unless you pay to market it it gets to no one. This company thinks I'm going to pay another $450 a month they are full of it! I have told them 3 times I was cancelling and they still send me emails like I never said anything to them. When I talked to the pushy woman on the phone I finally told her I had to go and she continue to call and email saying we were not through talking. I emailed back and said yes I was. So this month instead of charging me $450 they charged my cc $249... Like that's going to be ok... This company is a scam... STAY AWAY lot's of companies will set up business facebook for $40
I signed up for the program, thinking it was something that would be beneficial to me. You have to sign up on a SALES call, which goes over the product very quickly. Once I signed up, I explored my account on the program and determined that it was not a good fit for me. The product that I'm currently using for email touch campaigns is MUCH better and has more flexibility. Also, the website was not what I expected upon further examination. I was expecting that I could eliminate other services (website and email drip campaigns) by signing up for Outbound Engine. After spending time looking at the program, which you are not afforded before signing up, I immediately called them to cancel the account (nothing was sent out or posted on my behalf at that point). They told me I could not cancel without paying half of the yearly amount as a cancellation fee. CRAZY. Terrible customer service.
I was really interested in what this company had to offer and it was all really well presented, but it became very pushy and borderline rude towards the end. I went into a presentation meeting being clear about my intentions to see the product and compare to others I had in mind, but it became kind of bitter towards the end when I reiterated this. I was almost pushed into onboarding and when I stopped them, the tone completely changed and I even got hung up on. I felt the presenter got frustrated after I pulled back and that's when it went downhill. They just want you to throw your money at them and it doesn't work that way. I really was considering their services in a few months after being decently impressed by the presentation, but I won't be considering it now. Beware of this company.
As a Realtor I have been with Outbound Engine for 6 months and have received nothing worthwhile. When I tried to cancel, it was impossible without paying a large fee for the remainder of the contract. It is a waste of money and time to be with this company. Companies like this make it very difficult to listen to any on-line market plans. I regret my association with this company. I still have several more months to pay for this worthless service.
I am a realtor that tried out this company for my marketing. Over the past 6 months I never really was able to see any benefit with outboundengine. I reached out and told them I was not seeing any results and I wanted to cancel. They told me they were going to charge me a large amount of money to cancel. They will put you in a 12-month agreement because they don't stand behind their service. Any company that forces you not to cancel should be a BIG RED FLAG! Don't use them because they only care about your money.
Hi Garett,
I'm so sorry to hear about your negative experience with OutboundEngine! We do ask our customers to sign on for a 12 month term -- not because we don't stand behind our service, which we absolutely do, but because top-of-mind marketing takes time. Our philosophy is based on keeping you in touch with your sphere of influence so that when they are in need of your services, or know someone who is, you're the first person they think of and reach out to.
I'll also reach out offline to see if there's something we can do on our end to make your overall experience with OutboundEngine a better one.
Thanks,
Taylor Page

Definite sales pitch hooked me with look of their product but zero benefit getting client calls to list or referrals. The continued involvment from clients in my emails continued to go down over this long year. Plus! I never agreed to a year's worth of outbound business, but low and behold they said I did, so when I wanted to cancel after 6 months, I was unable. Buyer beware! You do not get your monies worth from this company.
We are sorry that you feel this way about our services. While no company is perfect, we stand behind our product and our employees and have 10,000 satisfied customers. We will be happy to clear up misunderstandings if you reach out to us at feedback@outboundengine.com. Thank you!

I've had this service for several years and now want to cancel as I am trying a different service. Canceling is very difficult and they are requiring a phone call. However, there is not a "specialist" to actually talk to. I've been attempting to have a conversation with them for 2 days. I suspect they make the cancellation process as difficult as possible so that agents get frustrated and keep the service. Planning to have my bank refuse more charges from them as their website does not allow you to delete your credit card information. Beware and think at least twice before getting involved with this company.
It's nice to stay in front of clients and prospective customers, however, I don't get a lot of response from customers. I don't feel it really is a service that gains me much of any business.
It always looks pretty good.
I contacted Outbound Engine on several occasions and advised that I wanted to cancel the service. They did credit me for one month prior to my cancellation date of December 15,2021. HOWEVER, I was billed on December 16th and when I called to ask why, I was told that my contract billing was until January 15. My contract expired on December 15. They refuse to refund the money.
ALSO, I DID NOT GET ANY LEADS FROM THIS AT ALL. SAVE YOUR MONEY.
I like not having to worry about sending or scheduling social media posts and emails. I've only been using outboundengine for a short period of time and have already achieved tangible results and leads. I think it's helping me stay relevant with former clients and keep everything more organized.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your positive review! Here at OutboundEngine, we pride ourselves on automating our clients’ marketing efforts, and we are thrilled that you are already seeing the results. Please reach out if you need any assistance in the future.

OutboundEngine has helped me revive cold leads, since I didn't have the time to create a lot of content marketing. It's a bit expensive, but I can't wait to see how this program will help my business and expand our reach.

It helps me stay top of mind with my past clients and database. I have great intentions for my business, but no time to do a lot of these small marketing/outreach tasks myself. Outbound works by it self in the background and is easy to set up and use.
Thank you for leaving your positive feedback! We are thrilled you found our products easy to use. Here at OBE we strive to help small businesses to reach their goals and provide the best support possible. We appreciate your business. Please reach out if you need any assistance in the future.

Outbound Engine provides expertise in social media technology. It's difficult trying to catch up with people who have been in the area for a decade longer than I have, and I want to spend my time talking to customers, not formatting emails. Cost/benefit analysis; even though it's expensive, the software makes it much easier to schedule and reschedule appointments.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad we could help you find the best use for your time and we’re more than happy to share our expertise in social media and content creation. We’re glad to have you here!

OutboundEngine posts great content on my behalf. I really like their marketing tactics and the subjects shared through their automated services. The program is easy to use and it's made everything run easier and more smoothly, not to mention the leads I've generated by keeping up with clients more often. Their customer service department is dedicated and they work around my busy schedule, making things much easier for me and showing they care.
We are thrilled that your marketing efforts are easy and smooth. We pride ourselves on providing our clients with high-quality products and services that are easy to use and deliver consistent results. Thank you for taking the time to leave this positive feedback!

This program allows me to reach clients consistently. The communication is straightforward, effective, and on a predictable time schedule without seeming too "sales-y". In addition to lead generation, it helps me retain previous clients and reach out to clients who I've worked with in the past who might want to re-initiate contact. The customer service/customer success team is excellent; they are easy to reach whenever we encounter a minor issue or I have any questions. I'm really happy with the service and the follow-through overall and look forward to improving my business's reach.

It's easy to communicate with the support staff here, and they regularly follow up with clients about how the service is going. They are professionals and everything seems to run smoothly. Even though I've only been working with OutboundEngine for a short period of time, I've already seen an increase in client engagement with my content and have generated a handful of new leads. Thank you OutboundEngine!

I like all aspects of the OutboundEngine program and find the content to be very useful. My clients have appreciated it and I feel that I've improved my overall online image.
My only recommendation would be to start scheduling a bi-weekly or monthly call with clients to get additional information and make sure everything is running smoothly. I'd love to know more about how I can use your services to optimize my business and want to make sure I'm getting the best value for my money.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your positive review! Here at OutboundEngine, we pride ourselves on delivering the best content and product to our clients. We appreciate your recommendation to schedule client calls, and we will work on implementing this feature.

So far, I've had a positive experience with every aspect of the Outbound Engine program that I've used. The customer service reps and the account managers have great follow through. I think it would be helpful to set up a call once a week or once every two weeks to get additional information, that way I know that I am maximizing my usage of the program. I like how I'm able to personalize all outgoing social media posts and that it's not just generic. I can have as much or as little involvement as I want.
We are so glad that you are having a great experience with OBE. Our teams work tirelessly to ensure that your marketing efforts are successful and on track. Please reach out if you have any questions in the future.

This company takes the stress and confusion out of online marketing. I started working with outbound engine to improve my social media and online presence as a whole, because it was basically nonexistent at the time. It helps me communicate with clients better and I'm able to stay more relevant. The content created by Outbound engine is well planned and put together, and they take the customers input and show that they value having a partnership with them.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your positive review! Here at OutboundEngine, we pride ourselves in taking the stress off our clients’ shoulders and providing them with an easy to use automated service. We are glad you are having a pleasant experience with our products and the content we produce. Thank you for being a valued customer.

I was losing customers and needed to be able to succeed on my terms and not get left behind. The team at OE was able to provide over 900 worth of services for less than 300. They made sure I understood everything and were super considerate. A good experience.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with OutboundEngine! We’re so glad we could help, and we wish you the best in your future business endeavors. We’re glad to have you as part of OutboundEngine!
