Hibu reviews

The seven weeks of training basically justs tries to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you. It’s an overwhelming amount of information and a lot of useless once you actually finish training and get out in the field. Additionally, during the training period, they will assign you daily “homework” after training all day. The homework usually consists of recording videos of yourself and “role-playing” and acting as the salesperson and customer…it’s completely idiotic. Once you get out in the field they assign you around 1000 leads. A great majority of these leads are either completely out of business, are tiny mom and pop shops with no budget for marketing or in industries they tell you that you shouldn’t be selling to. Your whole activity levels and bonuses are based on these leads. If you try to solicit any business that’s not a part of these leads you’re given and you actually make a sale to them, your commission will be a fraction of a sale to their bogus leads. Turnover for the “Digital Account Executive” position is very high. During my training class a number of people quit during the first 7 weeks not to mention many others that quit as soon as they actually started to try and sell their services. Lastly, this market is pretty saturated. A lot of businesses already have mature and effective digital marketing systems and vendors. It’s a difficult sale and even more difficult with Hibu’s poor online reputation. You only have to Google Hibu to see all the negative reviews and feedback.

Hibu One is turning into an AI dumping ground. Instead of investing in thoughtful site design or giving teams the time to build quality work, leadership is pushing mandatory overtime so rushed, half-baked sites can be shoved out the door. Customers hate the look and feel, but leadership only cares about propping up AI and shielding an abusive sales team. As soon as they can, they’ll cut the staff brought in through the merger and start charging clients for low-value AI output. Upper management seems to have tantrums like children at the people dying the work, indeed I suggest they need to focus on the outdated software and broken specs.
