Today I had the worst experience with Clickminded. It was very disappointing to experience customer service on this level from anyone much less an owner of a company.
I recently have been searching for SOPs for my business and I found what I thought was a very awesome tool to assist with writing our SOPs which as a business owner is a very daunting task, to say the least. Plus the price couldn't be beaten!
It shows on the website $97 per month and then a professional plan which is normally $97 but appeared to be on special for $47 per month if you subscribed for 6 months with a bonus of 3 months free with 6 month subscription, which I was excited for since all the reviews I read were pretty good mostly based on the digital marketing courses offered by Clickminded!
Either way, I submitted an inquiry through the website to clarify a few things and was responded to very quickly by who I later found out to be the owner. He explained the pricing structure stating that we could get it for $47 per month or 3 months free and told me if I had any further questions to let him know!
I responded letting them know that what is showing on the website is very misleading from a customer standpoint and that I was simply trying to clarify so I could make my decision to purchase the service. At this point, I had every intention on purchasing because regardless of the pricing it would be worth it just to save the time of writing out these SOPs. The response I received from the owner literally blew me away!
My original email-
Hello I am interested in SOP Library and I wanted to subscribe for 6 months only and when in payment screen its telling me the total is $282 and I was wondering why it shows that amount if it's $47 per month with 3 months free I calculated $141.00 for the 3 months. Please let me know so I can move forward with my purchase!
Owners Response to the original email-
The SOP Library is $97 a month, not $47.
When you enroll for 6 months, you get it at $47 a month (or 3 months free - you can look at it either way).
That means it's $282 for 6 months.
Does that make sense? Let me know if you have any other questions!
My response
Ok so if I sign up for one month can I use the service, download what I need and cancel it before the month is up if I don't need it anymore?
I don't see myself using this service more than a month I just thought I could use it for 6 months since it was at a lower price and see if any other SOPs came available during that time.
The website doesn't say $47 month OR 3 months free it says bonus 3 months free $47 month with $97 month marked out so it's very misleading.
Response from owner
I wouldn't characterize that as "very misleading", but I've gone ahead and removed it from the sales page, just so it's super clear.
It doesn't sound like the SOP library is a good fit for you, but thank you and good luck!
I was then blocked from the website and not able to complete my purchase. At no time was I rude or deserved to be treated in this manner. So I responded back in shock!
My response
Wow, I'm super disappointed in your response. I'm simply stating from a customer standpoint it was misleading. And why is it you feel I won't be a good fit?
I'm simply asking questions so I am well informed before I make a purchase and now I see I've been banned from your site. How unprofessional. This is a service I could really use. And now I can't apparently. How unprofessional as a company your response to my inquiries and you ban me from your site.
Super disappointed!
I felt the need to write this review though normally I just blow off rude or unprofessional encounters however this was unlike anything I have ever experienced and I felt that others should know the level of customer service you can expect with the Clickminded owner. Very unprofessional and terrible customer service. read more
