What do you dislike about Clickedin?
The difference between what we were told on the sales call and the results we received were night and day. ClickedIn is great at marketing themselves, but they are a dishonest company that simply does not honor guarantees. Full stop.
When they are selling their subscription, the plan goes like this: their system sends out up to 15 LinkedIn connection requests per day to leads that you identify using filters. If those connections accept your connection request, ClickedIn sends them marketing messages from your account. The AI feature that we were told was revolutionary did not work most of the time we had the service. But the concept was that the AI tool was supposed to automatically detect if you received a positive response and send the person a link to your calendar. If they used the link, they could book an appointment without you doing anything. Best of all, it's all GUARANTEED. Wow!
Sounds great, right?
Here's the problem: nobody is interested in getting into sales conversations with random people they just got a connection request from. YOU sent them a connection request and then YOU are sending sales messages. People do not respond to that for the most part. Very seldom do people respond at all, but more often than not, you get negative responses. ClickedIn's system also supposedly keeps track of whether you received positive or negative responses, but that is a joke. For example, one person simply replied to a connection request with "I'm happy to connect." and their system categorized it as a positive response.
Guess what, that guarantee I mentioned? Is based on positive responses. If enough people respond with messages similar to "I'm happy to connect," and ClickedIn's system categorizes it as a positive response, after a while, that will automaticlly fulfil their guarantee. Their guarantee is not based on results that actually matter. Sales? Irrelevant to them. Meetings booked? Also irrelevant. If you receive enough of those "positive" responses, they will consider your guarantee as having been fulfilled. Consider your guarantee as not existing. They will not honor it.
In a year, thousands of connection requests were sent. Over 500 people accepted a connection request. 7 people sent "positive" responses. One booked call and zero sales. ClickedIn considered this as a success and will not honor the guarantee. It is especially deceptive that during the sales process, one of their sales people said in an email "We guarantee that over the course of the next 12 months, you will generate, through our platform, more money then what you have invested with us." That never happened, but the contract is all about "positive" responses. This is a scam.
If all you are after is more connections, go for this. Otherwise? Stay far away. I suspect that some of the positive reviews are fake as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
