Bark is not a reliable lead platform, do not waste your capital

This platform is a complete waste of your capital. They promise Hired Guarantee when you are a first timer. According to them this ensures that you at least get hired once getting value for your money. However they do not make it clear that they only return the credits to you once and after that, you are on your own. This is exactly what happened to me. They will tell you that there is a credit return policy so for each lead give a reason. As long as the number on the lead is contactable, Bark team does not care for non-responses. Most leads here are non-responses with clients not responding at and they do not care what the clients do. If you are a startup like me, do not put your money on bark otherwise I put my whole money I had left hoping to get clients but I did not.

Hi Patience, 

I’m really sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it must have been to spend credits without seeing the results you were hoping for. Bark is a competitive platform where customers can receive responses from up to five professionals, and they may choose to move forward with the pro whose offer or terms suit them best. While we do our best to provide accurate and quality leads, we cannot guarantee that every lead will respond or convert into work. 

We do have a credit return policy in place for situations where a lead meets the criteria. You can review our credit return policy in the Help Centre. If you’d like us to take a closer look at your account or specific leads, please contact *** using the email linked to your Bark account, and we’ll be happy to review your case and assist further.
