My experience with Outsourced Doers has been largely disappointing. While there are some positives, they’re shallowed significant issues.
The initial impression was promising, with seemingly qualified coaches and helpful resources. However, the reality fell short of expectations.
Support is inadequate. Responses in the Facebook group are slow, and weekly coaching sessions don’t align well with business needs. As a U.S. client on a 6-month plan, I clearly communicated my need for marketing and management support. I wasn’t informed that these services essentially require a 12-month commitment – a major oversight.
The assigned “Doer” has been problematic. Far from cost-effective, it’s been stressful. A basic website project dragged on, with poor results even after their tech team intervened. A local technician resolved issues quickly at a lower cost.
Work quality is consistently subpar, requiring constant oversight. Simple tasks like updating email blasts are often mishandled. There’s a concerning lack of understanding about basic concepts.
A major issue arose with our email nurture sequence, resulting in lost potential customers due to errors.
In essence, if you need only basic tasks done and can review everything, a Doer might work. However, the service falls short of promises.
There’s a lack of transparency about Doer compensation. The stated rate seems questionable.
Despite claims of numerous satisfied clients, engagement in the Facebook group and coaching calls is minimal. Few members seem to be achieving significant results.
While I’ve gained some insights, the investment of time and money has far outweighed the benefits. I’ve had to scale back involvement to focus on more efficient business strategies.
I’m uncomfortable with the fact that my work and training investment are essentially held hostage unless I renew.
A partial refund would go a long way in addressing my dissatisfaction.
Most concerning was discovering that a call about my issues was being recorded without my consent, raising serious ethical questions.
In conclusion, while the outsourced doers have potential, they need to make significant improvements to meet client expectations and ethical standards.
