BARK BUSINESS LEADS
« on: February 07, 2017, 03:25:08 pm »
JUST WONDERED IF ANY ONE HAS ANY DEALINGS  WITH BARK OR AS THE E MAILS SEND TO ME  SAYS -ANDREW GOOD.
IT ALMOST SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE BUT WONDERED HOW MUCH THE "CREDITS " THAT YOU BUY ACTUALLY WORK OUT FOR.

I have bought credits with them and had very limited success for both office cleaning and residential carpet cleaning.

Seems to me that each `request` being open to  anyone who has chosen a given geographical area sets you against potentially hundreds of companies and jobs go to the cheapest supplier. Fair enough, but in terms of carpet cleaning, the questions the client is asked are too basic and don't give a full picture of whats really needed, this lack of technical knowledge on Barks behalf means you will lose paid for credits just to ask a question for which you may decide depending upon the answer (if you get a response) that the job is not for you after all. Bark will also give valuations on what they consider to be the expected charges which pushes the client firmly into the hands of the cheaper suppliers

Further to my earlier post,  I have had two prospective office cleaning clients who I contacted via Bark confirm that they each had over 100 different companies pay to get their details !!

At £8.00 a throw thats a tidy £800.00 just for one enquiry, multiply that by the number of `leads` I get per day (and remember, I only get leads for Central London and Essex) there is only one winner and its not you or me!!
