Complaint Review: Martech5 David Andre

Should have known better.

Was called for several months by martech5 to provide marketing services to my company.  I was extremely leery but,  I spoke with the owner David Andre (probably not real name) who seems well spoken and guaranteed a strong return on investment being that he was so good on the phone. 

He even gave me 2 names of satisfied clients of his, who I reached out to and they told me how great it is to work with Martech5. (must be family memebers)  Paid $1000 for outbound call marketing in which David never calls anyone, all robocalls. First lie.  I have lead lists with 500k names and numbers but, he couldn't use that,  I had to buy leads from a company in Boston, who turned out to be his son at his company (ridiculous)  2nd lie. 

It started with David Andre sending me to his outbound call specialist son in law Jay Brown. who set me up with time slot to do calls for 2 hours, one day per week.  I explained to them this would not work and i was told it could run everyday.  Another lie.  So after 3 weeks with no results, I called David, with him being so busy it's very hard to get him on phone after you pay, lol. 

Finally get him on phone, he tells me to be patient all will work out,  He says he's going to do this and that,to make sure t works.  So I'm patient for 3 months, nothing comes in, honestly not one call.  So back to trying to call David.  This time he calls me back after a week of calling everyday and tells me he is putting his best person on this--Joe Ellen.  and Joe Ellen would be calling my list herself and sending leads over of interested potential clients. 

Nothing for 2 -3 weeks then I start getting a spreadsheet with 2 or 3 leads on it every other week for about 1.5 months.  Business name location phone number .  I think great this will work out, until i try calling these so called leads.  No one at these locations have any idea who I am, who Joe ellen is, who martech5 is, nor do they want my services.

I had one "hot" lead that was a switchboard operator with 2700 employees, of course i have no name of who to talk to so defeats the purpose.  6 months total dealing with them, not one deal to speak of.  Not once during this time, did this company reach out to ask how things were going, I had to try and track them down constantly.

Bottom line --scam artist company.  I honestly don't think they did any marketing whatsoever.  You would have better luck throwing a dart at the yellow pages.  Tried for months to get David to call me back with no luck, so I eventually gave up.

Any marketing company you hire that shows no interest in helping out your business or following up at all--is not a legit marketing company.   It's been 4 months since this happened, I honestly almost let them slide but, I don't want anyone else to make same mistake I made so Beware of this scam company.
