Keep in mind since these guys all know one another, I won’t be surprised if they start bashing & lying about me, but I don’t want you to have to go through what I went through, and like I’ve stated many times, people need to be held accountable for their actions. They can’t just get away with treating people/businesses like this just because they are only online.
I found the 2nd copywriter (Eric Louviere) from that Warrior site. He runs this copywriting business with his partner.
Right on the site they claim they give excellent customer service, so I was very happy to read this.
It’s unfortunate they don’t live up to their claims.
I spoke to Eric Louviere one night going over what I needed. He seemed okay, but I could sense that “I’m great and know it all” attitude that really irks me.
He knew I was a small business, and reworked some numbers so he came up with a price I was happy with. I was thankful.
He told me to send him a 50% deposit, and he would be starting it in 3 weeks.
I sent Eric the check the following day via Bill Payment which takes approximately 3-5 business days, but people usually get it within 3 days.
Then I didn’t hear from him, but I waited patiently. I even sent him my NDA to sign & never received that either.
I end up getting an e-mail stating he was out of town for a week or something, which he never told me about when I hired him.
I waited again until he came back.
Still no e-mail, phone call, nothing.
So I finally call him and guess what happens.
Eric Louviere claims he didn’t receive my 50% deposit until 3 weeks later, so he hadn’t even started on my work.
I was PISSED!
Then he starts trying to play games saying he told me to pay 100% upfront.
This is a total LIE.
I don’t pay anyone 100% upfront unless I know them well, and I think I would have objected had he stated this on the phone.
When I told him this, he had nothing to say about that point.
He didn’t even go out of his way to make me happy and do the work.
His way of justifying his unprofessional disrespectful behavior, was to go on and on about how he gave me a discount.
So? What does that have to do with treating your clients with respect. You give a discount to a client & then treat them like they don’t exist? Boy, you don’t know how to run a business, do you Eric.
I didn’t put a gun to his head telling him to give me a discount.
He could have quoted me full price and I would have just said it was too much and walked away.
I’m sick and tired of these independent contractors blaming me because of their actions.
They decide to give me the discount, I don’t make them.
To top it all off, I found out a day or two later he was giving a major discount to everyone who signed up for his services via that Warrrior site, but I already knew he was a liar, so this doesn’t surprise me.
I don’t need to call him names, it’s clear what kind of a person he is.
While he said he’d return the money, that wasn’t the point.
He had also just wasted a month of my precious time because I was waiting, waiting & waiting & you will see that this is what copywriters do, they make the client wait & pretty much old them by the balls because they are beholden to them since they need to make sales, & sales depend on the webcopy.
Then there was also confusion about the check; he snail mailed it to my home address in Canada, when I wanted it to go into my US account in the States.
The entire thing was a waste of my time, and stressful.
So, that was my experience with Eric Louviere.
