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.

A total scam A total scam. First a woman from a call center calls and asks if I am interested in a specific board assignment and if so, to schedule a call with her manager (Sean Irons in my case) to learn more about this specific opportunity. Then Sean "cannot" share any specific details about the opportunity but instead tries to sell a paid membership for boardsi that might or might not lead to a board seat. This is spam and a complete waste of time. Shame on people like these.

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.

Lisa Williams Lisa Williams, Leadafi, absolutely hands down was the distinguishing factor in my positive Boardsi experience. Lisa’s competence in writing my executive summary for posting was astounding. In Lisa’s first version was transformative of my resume - a complex industry specific CV. I am a professional writer myself and I have never reviewed a piece where I had no edits. It took me a long time to make one style edit of one word. The clarity in explaining in prose, my resume was perfect. I mean perfect. Boardsi is lucky to have Lisa and do whatever you can to keep her. Best regards, Douglas Cote CEO Emeric Capital

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.
