I hired a freelancer off of Fiverr to set up automated workflows in my CRM. I have a template provided by the CRM company to that I used when I thought I would do it myself. I had a lot done but didn’t have all the canned emails written.
Freelancer shared a a draft. I made a bunch of revisions because he doesn’t look like he used the template at all. And none of the emails he drafted even have my company logo/email signature on them.
We met again today to talk about it and for me to explain the revisions I needed. I left the meeting feeling pretty discouraged.
Then later today another client emails me confused because they’d just gotten an (automated) email that doesn’t have anything to do with where they are in my process (this client is booked and paid already and the email they received was about proposals). This is the third client to get that email in the last two weeks!
I’m frustrated and worried. I want to give the guy time to work it out but also I want to cut my loses. Do I have too much of a “if you want something done right you’ve got to do it yourself” attitude or is this really not working out?
Update: Thank you for your responses I’ve let the freelancer go and am learning a lot from this experience.
