BARK.COM WASTE OF TIME

Very disappointed with Bark.com and find it a waste. As a small architectural firm, we have used bark for about a year. After buying all the credits, we only landed one job that year. Half the time the contact details are incorrect. Then the clients requesting a service, never reply or answer calls. Even the verified customers from Bark, numbers either don't work, or no answer or reply to emails, messages etc.

Complete waste of time and money. Very disappointed!

Hi Sudique,
We're very sorry to hear that you haven't had a positive experience using our platform.
We heavily invest in our Google AdWords on a monthly basis, as well as other sites, to bring legitimate customers to our website.  We also have a 24/7 Customer Success Team based in London and a dedicated Marketing and Development Team to ensure we are providing quality lead generation for our professionals.
We can assure you that all leads are screened by an automated system, and we have a credit return policy which covers any contact details which are not working. We feel this is the fairest system we can have as we are not a commission based system that guarantees work, and only provide contact details for enquiries placed with us. Please do contact us directly via phone, or email, and we would be happy to look into any leads in line with this policy.
We do appreciate that it can be frustrating when customers don't respond. We usually find this is because they have hired, or are considering hiring, another professional. We generally find that responding to the customers as and when they place their requests gives you the best chance of speaking to them when they are available and before they have hired anyone.
We would be happy to help you make the most of our platform and achieve conversion with us - please email us at ***.
Kind regards,
The Bark Team
