David J. Rodecker of Relevandads and Localsplash claims to have cracked the code selling to SMBs

David J. Rodecker claims to be the posterchild and hero of having cracked the code to sell local online marketing.  What he forgets is who helped him when his startup of 5 people including me, put hours of sweat and tears to get where he is at.   He betrayed his founding employees with lies and deception.   He only ended up paying me 16 an hour at max for 100,000 dollars of what he should have been paying me for running 3 departments and having to endure the boiler room lies and mentality they all had to make money.

What small business owners don't know is that they can do all that localsplash and relevantads do for free.  They hardly do anything.  Yext.com can do everything localsplash does and more.

David, you did not crack the code in selling to SMB's, when you lie on the phone, run a boiler room telemarketing operation and pay your people like contractors, JUST about anyone can be successful.  Your telemarketers lie to small businesses, small busienss owners call in screaming months after realizing what they really purchases only to be lied again into staying.  Only the smart business owners that know the internet call in and cancel.  

If you get those pesky robo calls claiming to be able to place you on Google and Do miracles and get yo 100's of calls, Localsplash and Relevantads are one of them.  For the 5 years that I was there, when we started with 5 people to the point of expanding and hiring 100 sales people with a move to Santa Ana new office space...Dave has been relying on boiler room contractors that have to lie to get the credit card from the innocent small business owners.  Customer Service employees constantly get yelled at when the smart SMB owners figure it out and call to cancel..

Dave was repeatedly informed of how the sales contractors and their leaders where selling on the phone but because the money is good, he would not budge.   You have built and empire on lies and deception and you think you are steve jobs or one of the more reputable business owners.   You lied to us to give it our all and used us to get to where you are at.

I hate when business onwers such as Dave portray himself with the power to move mountains and figure out stuff when other people have actually done the work for him.  I was instrumental in researching large enterprise SEO at Localsplash and Relevantads.  I figured out through my own A/B testing what worked and what didn't.  I did it because we were in a start-up and Dave was busy partnering with Rusell Wallace of now 29prime.com to keep selling dirty while Dave got richer.   Dave I will expose how you cracked the code for selling to SMB's.


Jorge.
