YourShortlist®  Reviews 

Leads seem okay, but none of them have lead to any work.

Specific examples:

1. Had apparently specified £90k budget, then said £6k was too much
2. Had been making the decision for months, narrowed it to 3, and was making the final call a few working days later
3. Replied sporadically, then ghosted us - but because our decision to "Passback" was outside of YSL's inflexible 10-day policy we've lost £400

Rated 2 stars as (1) they did accept a few passbacks where clearly the lead was duff, and (2) we hold out hope there's still a small chance there could be a lead within our remaining pre-paid budget.

Overall - wouldn't recommend, they just seem to want your money then don't care

We have worked very well with the head of Account Management Dannii who has provided us with some good quality opportunities recently in helping us support our pipeline activities

Your details are obtained from you for free after a long call, and then sold on for a massive cost to numerous companies - companies you've never heard of - absolutely bombarding you with spam, constantly chasing by phone & email desperate to get your money. And it still happens even after you request YSL to ask the companies to respectfully give you time to respond to each of them when the subject/project is actually in the pipeline.

Not recommended from a client perspective and - going on other comments, not recommended from a business perspective either if you're looking for leads as the leads do not reply since they are fed up with being spammed by salesmen.

It's just not a good system as it benefits no-one except YSL who make their profit for the mutual irritation caused to both parties. We have asked YSL to remove us from their lead list now as it's less grief shopping around than being pestered when you have other priorities.

I am a supplier and have had no luck with any of the projects I request. I requested 4-5 projects, emailed each lead 3 times, and called them multiple times and absolutely no response. The information in the lead document is totally wrong which is extremely frustrating. My last lead had a name that didn't match the email address, the domain of the email address didn't match the domain of the website, the direct line was from Thailand, the phone number was from Haywards Heath (south-England) and the address was from Ireland. The only matching part was the postcode and the address.

I'm surprised that it has achieved a rating of 4.4 on Trustpilot. I read more reviews and noticed that YourShortList has a looot more reviews on Google and they are a better reflection of the reality. I believe YourShortList biases the rating on Trustpilot by requesting removal of the bad reviews and/or inviting only those happy customers to give feedback.

After an initial review, I was appalled to be bombarded by calls from third parties, despite requesting that my details are not shared whilst I took the time to review various options.

The telephony market for businesses is enormous at the moment with BT stopping analogical lines. You never know who to trust. Having a partner like Yourshortlist has helped us shortlisting from a ready-made very good shortlist. We have been put in contact with very professional and high-standard organisations and we were able to find our new service provider in a very little time. Special thanks to Jonathan Pluck for making this possible!

Company was very communicative with me regards to updates and shortlist companies that wish to organize meeting schedule.

Very understanding of our current stage within ERM and informational in giving the best course of action to take when looking for companies.

I posted a query on my LinkedIn page looking for some internal training and Nathan Aird reached out to me within 24hrs offering his services.
We had a brief call to go through our criteria and requirements in which Nathan was very attentive and immediately said that he would enquire around on our behalf and if he found any suitable candidates he would be in touch. 1 week later, we had 3 potential solutions come to us with meetings scheduled.
Nathan was brilliant and extremely helpful and we will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future.

I said we'd be looking at Q1 to review. Talked into taking a couple (that's 2) calls/emails over the next week.
I'm now being pestered by 10+ companies, some even wanting my home details to discuss it with me after being told I'm not in the office.
There's a reason why I'm reviewing in Q1... it's called time management and existing projects.
If you're a client of these people I'd suggest reassessing that relationship. It doesn't reflect well on your organisation.

We were contacted by four companies to review out IT infrastructure and make sure we had all systems covered including security. We have decided to stay with our current provider but the 4 alternatives offered a competitive quote. It was a good way to clarify that we had the right cover in place, but also find out there are other suppliers out there.

Not so much what went wrong, more that if you are going to work with a company to support them you really have to listen. More importantly if you say you are going to do something make sure you do it?

The words "I am personally going to manage this for you"

Mean you should do just that! Not then ask someone else to do the work then follow up with a phone call, having not explained to the person you have asked to do the work the actual challenge.

I have dealt with this company for a long time. They telephone for a chat about what I am doing and what plans I have for the future, it is all very nace and frienly. Next thing I know, I have a torrent of companies contacting me about my projects that don't really exist. I found out later that these companies have paid for this information, based on a seemingly informal chat. They put words into my mouth and force me to identify time frames. I was very rude to the last representative to phone me, they have just pushed me too far this time. I have blocked their telephone number, not that that is likely to stop them, but it made me feel better.

In our search for a new ERP solution YourShortList were able to offer some excellent choices, some of which did make it onto our shortlist. Edward Cook was very helpful, efficiently compiling our requirements and a few days later matches started arriving from YSL.

The individual I spoke to took the details of what we were looking for and was then able to identify correctly the types of business that could help us. I admit I was skeptical about it as I couldn't understand the model and how this wasn't going to be something that would cost us, however it worked and we found a great partner to work with. Great service

Megan has been our account manager and is always very responsive to our queries. The platform as a whole generates a good number of leads and is cost effective. The fact that leads can be handed back under certain circumstances is also a big plus. The only drawback would be that sometimes, the specification sheets initially lack key information on the prospect, but Megan is then always on hand to help.

This service paid for itself in the first meeting, very communicative and understanding. Account Management has been 10/10

Fantastic Service providing good quality leads on a regular basis. Our account manager has been extremely helpful and personable, and we would have no issues recommending YSL to other companies looking to shorten their sales cycle.
Our only point for improvement would be for the YSL to be more involved in the initial Lead contacting stage to help ensure a successful connection is made.

Great company. Very professional and personable employees. Great leads generated and very well scoped out

Knowledgeable of the industry & a quick response time with recommendations of relevant software & partners.
