service was one of my worst experiences…
service was one of my worst experiences to date across the board with any company regarding the customer experience. I searched for a reputable company for VAs. And found Woodbows. I had what I thought was a very transparent and well received initial conversation with Immanuel. I shared what my needs were. I shared my knowledge level with technology. I shared my availability and expectations. I was assured the company would match me on each area of need. None of this happened. I do believe the technical specialist was very knowledgeable and an expert in his field but he was controlled by the Sales manager. Communication was non existent and my availability was completely ignored. I still work 12 hours shifts and the only time communication took place was during my very busy work day. I was told we’d used the communication method most comfortable for me and although eventually this was attempted to some degree, the communication never rose to a level of true effectiveness. Regarding the work that was completely I have no absolute proof to prove this work was done or if it actually took the amount of time as reported. I made this statement because I strongly believe they take more time than needed to cause you to purchase more time to complete the projects. I was told initially multiple people will work the projects simultaneously and this was not done at all initially. I actually could have let this all go and there is so much more I could share. The most disturbing was at the very end of the initial purchased time the technician made a major change that completely deleted a platform that was functioning well and building traction that I paid another freelancer to build. I truly believe this was done to force me to purchase more time. I addressed this concern multiple to only be ignored. So ultimately I’m left with a closed site that was open prior to Woodbows. And Woodbows refusing to at minimum return half of what I paid to compensate for the damage caused to my company. I cannot imagine treating any customs under any circumstances they way I was treated. Because this company has some of the best technical employees is perhaps the reason the reviews are good. The customer service I received does not match the great reviews I saw prior to working with this company. After my experience I found one review from a customer with a similar experience to mine. VAs are virtual assistants. My expectation was for an actual assistant, that was being paid to assist me with projects needed for my company. Today VAs have no concern for the customers time or the customers company. I expressed past experiences with VAs and was assured Woodbows understood the needs of the customer. Integrity is not a strong suit for this company. I normally do not write reviews because a company’s reputation should speak for itself and this is my first negative review because I do not see the value in writing a negative review. I chose to write this because I truly believe Woodbows knew what they were doing and this company never had any intentions on helping me move my company forward. They saw an opportunity to take advantage of a person at a novice level when it comes to some technologies and they seized the opportunity. Shame on you guys. Some people still believe in professionalism and common trust. Do better.
