Like Disney, boardsi does have negative reviews. Unfortunately, boardsi has mostly negative reviews. Similar to other reported experiences, I was initially contacted via cold call and set up an appointment to learn more. About 10 minutes into the introductory call and after hearing about the possibilities, came the hook that the next step was to schedule an onboarding call and a credit card was required. After doing a quick google search I saw nothing but negative reviews. I confronted the boardsi rep about this who replied, "even Disney gets negative reviews" which I responded, "sure but at least they have a known brand and baordsi is completely unknown and not deserving of such a leap of faith." I'm not saying boardsi is a scam but I'd say there are much better ways to spend $200 bucks a month.

Professionalism Professionalism, reliability, promptness and subject matter expertise are the core components for making this company stand out.

Don’t trust a company that can’t handle questions. Never trust a Company that scouts you just to hang up on you aggressively when you ask analytical questions. Essentially, I pressed the rep about the fact that they want 200 bucks for a profile set up plus another $195 a month for 2-3 months before you ever get an interview and MAYBE get a board seat offer… so you’re spending about $1000 or more with no ROI and no way to get your money back for wasting your time if you don’t land a board. When I mentioned that, I was met with snark and told “if you don’t want to do this, then don’t” before the salesman hung up without giving me a chance to respond. I guess I didn’t help his quota this week. Don’t bother paying a company that can’t manage a phone call they scheduled with you. Edited on 2/27/24. Apparently Boardsi is not only rude, but dishonest. Denying how their reps treat prospects on a public forum doesn't make them a better catch. Be discerning and careful.

Total sales scam Received a random email from someone here, prompting me to setup a call. I get on the call and this girl gave me the standard sales pitch. board members make $1k/hour on average (the bait), then tells me that there's a setup fee to setup my profile, and then a monthly fee of $50. I then asked her if she had my linkedin profile, and she said she didn't. So I asked how do you know if I qualify? To which she studdered and didn't have a response. I asked to see their sample criteria for board members, and only to get a copout answer that they are all different... no it's not. Total scam sales job. They are just trying to signup as many people to the platform as possible and get your subscription fee.

A lot of effort for questionable return. This is a material investment for a vague return. BoardsI gave no feedback on the responses of the outbound work they did (you wouldn't even share the types of companies contacted or names) and there was no feedback on the applications I did myself. This was a lot of time, effort and money for minimal return. I would think the client roster was over sold by BoardsI
