Zero ROI
We were approached by USFCR at a conference, and they spoke repeatedly about how they are able to achieve a 42% acceptance with their bids. Our company went through "an internal evaluation to make sure that the company was a good fit". We were "accepted" and quoted $10,000/ month. Two team members even flew in to meet us. We paid a first payment of $30,000, and after the first three months of understandably establishing the prerequisites, we were surprised to notice the team was rather inexperienced and we had to do most of the screening job for them, and do a lot of handholding through the process. Months passed by, and unfortunately only 4 bids were submitted in 9 months with zero acceptance. Needless to say, we really wanted this to work but the ROI was null and we were bleeding through cash uselessly. We informed them about our intent to stop and the program manager did not even have the minimal courtesy of answering. I would advise you to look at alternatives before. the same job can be done at <5% of their quoted fees.
