When some One Kill your Start up dream
Headline: How a Bad Partnership Can Kill a Startup Dream
When a Bad Partnership Slows Down a Startup Dream
We launched our Pan-India Car Taxi Network™ with a clear vision — and the market responded positively.
Within a short span, we onboarded 10+ city partners and were ready to scale faster.
To accelerate outreach, we partnered with a telecalling agency, DialForce, paying an advance of ₹15,000 based on projected deliverables and commitments.
What followed was a hard but important learning experience.
🚩 Early Warning Signs
1️⃣ “Learning Curve” Delay
Within three days of onboarding (despite complete data, scripts, and training), we were told they needed 10 additional days just to “settle in.”
2️⃣ USP Miscommunication
Our core value propositions were not being communicated correctly.
At one point, our official website was being described as a “blog” to prospects.
3️⃣ Post-Payment Slowdown
After the advance was transferred, responsiveness dropped significantly. Follow-ups were met with operational excuses, holidays, and internal scheduling constraints.
The Real Lesson
For a startup, time is more valuable than capital.
₹15,000 is recoverable.
A month of lost momentum in a scaling phase is not.
When a service provider treats your project as secondary, they aren’t just underperforming — they’re slowing your growth curve.
Founder-to-Founder Advice
If you’re outsourcing sales or telecalling:
✅ Audit call recordings weekly
✅ Test their understanding of your USP before going live
✅ Tie payments to measurable milestones
✅ Don’t ignore early red flags
✅ Have a 48-hour pivot rule if quality doesn’t improve
If an agency struggles with basics after multiple training sessions, it’s rarely a training issue — it’s usually a hiring or management quality issue.
Next Steps We’re Taking
Demanding full call audit access
Requesting a clear delivery roadmap
Evaluating whether to pivot immediately rather than lose further growth time
Startups don’t fail only because of competitors.
Sometimes, they slow down because of the wrong partners.
Choose wisely.

Founder, Pan-India Car Taxi Network™
=====================
We launched our Pan-India Car Taxi Network™ with a clear vision and strong initial market response. We quickly scaled to 10+ city partners. To keep that momentum, we partnered with a telecalling agency, DialForce, paying an upfront advance of INR 15k based on their "big promises."
The red flags started almost immediately:
The "Learning Curve" Excuse: After three days, they claimed they needed 10 days just to "settle in," despite our provided data.
Poor Communication: Our USPs were being misrepresented, and our official website was being called a "blog" by their callers.
The Disappearing Act: As soon as the payment cleared, the responsiveness vanished. Every follow-up was met with excuses about holidays or "two Saturdays off a month."
The Lesson: For a startup, time is more than money—it’s survival. When a service provider treats your project like a secondary chore, they aren't just failing a contract; they are stalling your dream.
To the DialForce Management Team,
I am writing to formally document our dissatisfaction with the telecalling services provided to our Pan-India Car Taxi Network™.
Despite an advance payment of INR 15k and multiple training sessions provided by our team, we have observed a consistent failure in delivery:
Inaccurate Communication: Your agents have repeatedly failed to use our specific USPs and have misidentified our official website to potential leads.
Inconsistency: Operations have been frequently paused due to undisclosed holidays and internal schedules, leading to a total loss of market momentum.
Post-Payment Negligence: There has been a sharp decline in responsiveness from the SPOC and TL since the funds were transferred.
We expected a strategic partner; instead, we have faced constant excuses. We require an immediate roadmap for the delivery of the agreed-upon results or a full refund of the advance payment.
Beware of the "Advance Payment" Trap
We built a Pan-India Car Taxi Network™ from the ground up, reaching 10 cities. We hired DialForce to help us scale further.
The Result? Total stagnation.
They took 15k upfront, made grand promises, and then delivered nothing but excuses. Between "agent training time," constant holidays, and basic communication errors (calling our website a "blog"), they have been a bottleneck rather than a bridge.
If you are a founder, be careful who you trust with your "startup dream." Once the money moves, some companies stop moving.
A Quick Piece of Founder-to-Founder Advice:
If they are referring to your website as a "blog" and struggling with basic USPs after you've offered multiple trainings, it’s rarely a "training" issue—it’s often a hiring or management quality issue at their end.
Next Steps to consider:
Audit the Calls: Demand the recordings of the calls made so far to see exactly how much damage has been done to your brand.
The "Pivot": If they don't improve within 48 hours, it might be cheaper to cut your losses on the 15k now rather than losing another month of market growth.

Than excuses started like,
Good Evening,
Sir, it has only been three days since we started the calling process. During this period, two different data sets—Tamil and Gujarat—have been provided. The agent has not yet been given sufficient time to fully understand and settle into the process. Typically, it takes about 7 to 10 days for an agent to become familiar with the workflow and gain confidence. Once the agent is comfortable with the process, performance will improve, and we can take things forward more effectively. I kindly request your patience and understanding in this matter. Thank you.
This is to inform you that tomorrow (Sunday) and the following day (Monday) will be holidays due to Republic Day. Accordingly, the office will reopen and regular operations will resume from Tuesday.
Thank you.
Ma’am, currently Sandhya is working on Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Earlier, when Murthy was handling the project, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, and Gujarat leads were also shared. Tamil Nadu leads were shared as well, but sir asked us to keep the Tamil Nadu leads on hold.
@Mirza DialForce TL @Laxmi Telecalling DialForce The telecaller is currently facing some challenges in conveying our exact message. At times, broad terms such as “Pan India” are used, and certain USP-specific keywords are replaced with more generic expressions. Additionally, there are instances where blogs are referred to as the website, rather than clearly stating the official website. While these are minor inaccuracies, they may impact the effectiveness of communication and overall outcomes.
We have full confidence in his capability and intent, and we believe these gaps can be addressed quickly. We are completely open to conducting training or clarification sessions as many times as required to ensure concepts, messaging, and positioning are absolutely clear. However, this can be most effective when we are kept informed of any areas that require additional support or clarification, enabling us to step in proactively.
Our primary focus remains on delivering strong outcomes, and with aligned communication, improved speed, and enhanced efficiency, we are confident the desired results can be achieved.
@Priti Dial Force I am writing to express my serious concern regarding the lack of progress on our agreement. Despite a significant investment on our end, we have yet to receive the services or communication promised. We expect immediate feedback and a clear plan on how you intend to deliver the agreed-upon results
@Laxmi Telecalling DialForce @Mirza DialForce TL @+91 90040 94685 @~VP/Opp I have noticed a significant decrease in communication and support since the payment was processed. We expect the same level of engagement and responsiveness that we received prior to the payment. Could you please provide an update on our current status?

hello@aobsales.com
Dear DialForce Team,
I am writing to formally request a full refund of the ₹15,000 (Fifteen Thousand Rupees) paid as an advance for telecalling services for our venture, Pan-India Car Taxi Network™.
Despite our initial commitment and the timely payment of the advance, the services delivered have consistently failed to meet the professional standards and operational milestones agreed upon during the onboarding process.
Not done End-to-End Sales Outsourcing
Take the complexity out of sales management with our comprehensive service that covers every aspect of the sales process from initiation to closure, ensuring seamless operations and maximum efficiency.
Reason for Refund Request:
Failure in Operational Execution: After the initial payment, we were met with repeated delays. Your team claimed a "7 to 10-day" period was required for agents to even become familiar with the workflow, despite our team providing clear data sets (Tamil and Gujarat) and immediate support.
Misrepresentation of Brand:
Your agents failed to accurately communicate our core USPs. Specifically, referring to our official website as a "blog" and using generic terms instead of our specialized service keywords has caused tangible harm to our brand reputation with potential partners.
Lack of Accountability and Communication:
Since the payment was processed, there has been a significant and unacceptable drop in responsiveness from the SPOC and Team Lead. We have faced constant "offline" periods due to undisclosed holidays and internal schedules, leading to zero progress on our project.
Breach of Service Promises: The "big promises" made during the sales pitch have not translated into any measurable outcomes or leads.
Our Demand:
We have provided ample opportunity for your team to rectify these issues, including offering multiple training and clarification sessions. However, the lack of results and professional engagement has led us to lose confidence in this partnership.
We hereby request a refund of the ₹15,000 advance payment within 15 business days.
Please acknowledge receipt of this email and confirm the timeline for the reversal of the funds.
We hope to resolve this matter amicably; however, we reserve the right to escalate this to relevant consumer forums or legal channels should the refund be delayed.
Sincerely,
Founder,
Pan-India Car Taxi Network™

I’m hashtag#incredibly hashtag#disappointed to share my recent hashtag#experience with SafeGold. When you invest in digital assets, you expect a foundation of trust and seamless communication. Unfortunately, I’ve hit a major roadblock that feels like a dead end.
My gold balance was incorrectly mapped to an unauthorized mobile number. To make matters worse, trying to get help is an exercise in futility—I’ve been stuck dealing with robot telecallers instead of actual human support. 🤖🚫
Despite reaching out to rectify what appears to be a system error, I’m being asked to jump through hoops with an extensive list of documents—PAN, Aadhaar, and full bank statements—just to correct a mistake I didn't make.
While I respect security protocols, the friction in simply accessing my own investment is unacceptable. A fintech platform is only as good as its support team, and right now, the lack of human intervention is failing the customers.
Has anyone else faced similar hurdles with hashtag#SafeGold? I’m hoping for a swift resolution from someone on the team who isn't a bot.
