What do you dislike about Bark.com?
Where do I begin? The leads I received, I don't believe are real. There are so many people desperate for life coaching that no one responds to your requests?
It does not make any sense at all.
I was on Bark for a few days when I got an email for a discounted rate of $90, so I decided okay, how much can that hurt me? Nothing but a loss of $90 plus about 10 credits left - clearly not enough for anyone requesting services.
Also, what is the deal with people asking to spend a higher credit amount when not one coach with common sense would respond if they knew the person was being absolutely serious? So are we made to believe the person asking you to spend 17 credits as opposed to the one asking for 10 credits is more serious about their journey?
It is clear this is where the run around begins when Bark keeps asking you to spend more money on credits towards leads that are fictitious and who knows where the emails are going.
Of course, they don't want to refund the $90 I spent, claiming they don't return funds. Funny because the offer is if you spend money and don't gain any clients, they return your money.
Every now and then, I will get away from having to spend money on BS sites or other retail businesses selling shady products, but it's also clear I didn't do enough research upon spending the $90 which I plan on refuting with my credit card company. Once the money is returned, I will ask them to delete my account, as I don't even see a choice to delete your account and no reason to continue to keep a profile on there, when there’s no one who’s really signed up looking for help. Reminds me of another site (initials AM), which no longer exist who did the same exact thing.
It saddens me when someone has a great idea but decides it's easier to rip people off then actually being a viable business to business in helping others succeed.
When it comes to any site, especially business to business, please do extensive research. It is clear Bark tries to hide these sites on a search engine with other fictitious sites offering, “valued reviews” when they are also just as fake as the leads they offer.
If you are a business owner and found this site, lucky you. Take it from everyone who has offered their own experience, DO NOT use Bark under any circumstances. Save your money and find other means through advertising. Yes, it’s expensive but probably well worth the money.
Best of luck to all! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
