Wasted $1,500 On Interview Valet
Spent $1,500 total on Interview Valet, with Tom Schwab promising "top 20%" podcasts. Turns out they outsource finding podcasts to subcontractors, and all we got was podcasts with zero reviews, no real audience, mostly promoting get rich quick schemes and Internet exercise programs. For $350 per podcast you could save your money and just contact the least popular podcasts yourself, they'd be thrilled to have guests. Worst part is that Tom refuses to address the huge gap between promise and delivery, and will just keep charging your card till you call your credit card company and literally cancel your card. Yup. No guarantees, no refunds, just be charged and that's it. Pretty disappointed, was looking forward to some good podcasts.
Response from Interview ValetMar 17, 2020
Jake, I'm sorry that we were not able to meet your expectations. You had asked to get on podcasts focused on those suffering from myopia to discuss alternatives to costly glasses and surgery. The first show we booked you on was STACKING BENJAMINS, a top 2% show with hundreds of reviews https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id650045209#see-all/reviews. We and the host felt it would be ideal. Overall we booked you on 6 shows, but you chose not to schedule the interviews on any of them. We have a geographically remote team of 18 (14 in the US, 2 in Canada, and 2 in Europe). This model was set up to find the best talent and serve a global clientele across numerous time zones. None of the client-facing work is outsourced. Our Founder invited you numerous times to jump on a zoom/skype call to discuss this as the emails back and forth were not productive. Emails can be a great way to share information but not always communicate. We wish you luck and believe in your program. Clearly we weren't a good fit to partner together.
