Ripoff Report Verified™ REVIEW

EDitor's UPDATE: Positive rating and recognition has been given to HeavyHammer for its full commitment to quality customer service.

Ripoff Report's discussions with HeavyHammer have uncovered an ongoing dedication by the company to total client satisfaction. This means that clients can expect that the company will work towards finding a mutually satisfactory resolution to any concerns. HeavyHammer listens carefully to client concerns and sees them as an opportunity to learn from past mistakes and become more efficient as a company in the services offered and the support for those services.

Heavy Hammer New Media Solutions Founder, Michael Urbanski, has let us know in no uncertain terms that his personal philosophy is to put the users needs first and design products and services that benefit the client as well as the user. Only after it has been determined that it is the best thing for the user does Heavy Hammer implement a new platform or feature. The team continues to drill down to the very bottom of the scale of pro's and con's before designing a new function to ensure that is does not complicate or create unneeded steps to any process. This is for both users and clients and has been a driving force of the company since launch. Mr. Urbanski announced with passion that by putting the client and user experience first and creating value, everyone has their needs met.

An interesting thing that Ripoff Report learned in the course of discussions with the Heavy Hammer team is that they are dedicated like few other companies to innovation and helping people with limited technical skills to use the technical world and make it simple and beneficial for everyone. Mr.Urbanski admits that he himself is not a technical expert and therefore takes the approach that it has to be easy for him to use without instruction and if it is not, it is too complicated. Everything from onboarding through the entire experience has to be seamless or it doesn't pass the test and Heavy Hammer goes back to the drawing board until the process of getting the user what they want is as simple as it can possibly be. "If our clients are not successful, we cannot be successful and we understand that simple mantra very well" said Mr. Urbanski

HeavyHammer is Ripoff Report Verified
Ripoff Report Verified™ .. part of Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business..

The information provided in this report below is based on comments made by Michael Urbanski during an onsite inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases toward HeavyHammer.

Heavy Hammer is a new media solutions company that invented geographically based online advertising in 1999. Michael Urbanski explained that they exercise their technology using different websites including: USAHUD.com, Allhud.com, and Hudexchange.com. They do this in order to ensure that each website has an exclusive real estate agent, "each website has its own advertising campaign driving home buyers and sellers to that website, and creating business for that individual real estate agent in that area." Heavy Hammer doesn't put more than one real estate agent or loan officer per geographic area so the agents can maintain their exclusivity.



Leads for Heavy Hammer are generated generally through some organic search, but mainly through cost for click advertising. They also have the number 1 rated app for foreclosures in the Apple istore, "we generate a lot of traffic via our apps." Mr. Urbanski explained that their business development department will reach out to real estate agents who are interested in creating more business, "if the real estate agent is open to the business, then we transfer that call to the sales person. The sales person actually does a live demo online, and presents them with the product."



CUSTOMER CARE & COMPLAINT RESOLUTION FROM HEAVYHAMMER

During the onsite interview, Mr. Urbanski was as asked described a situation where a client was not satisfied with the level of service they received. Mr. Urbanski described the most recent complaint in which a client stated that a lead he received wasn't correct. Heavy Hammer took action to find the lead in question, and Mr. Urbanski personally reached out to the lead to verify his information. The information for the lead was correct, but the lead was wanted to purchase a home for his Aunt. This was something the client was not anticipating. Heavy Hammer wants their clients to be successful in converting leads to deals. They take it upon themselves to provide training and scripts for their clients, as well as calling leads for quality assurance. If a lead dose prove to be incorrect, Heavy Hammer will reimburse the client was a new lead.

When asked to comment on complaints posted on Ripoff Report's website Mr. Urbanski explained that the complaint was made by an individual who never signed up for their services. This individual was confused when she found out that USAHUD.com, Allhud.com, and Hudexchange.com were under the umbrella of Heavy Hammer, "she was solicited to be a client of ours, and believed that we were running a shell game." Heavy Hammer reached our in order to clarify the nature of their businesses, but the individual was unresponsive. In order to assure future potential clients Heavy Hammer is a part of both the Maryland Business Association, and the Better Business Bureau.

When asked what type of changes they have made to honor their commitment to make things right with the customer per the request of Ripoff Report, Mr. Urbanski expressed that Heavy Hammer has, "beefed up the client services department."



HEAVYHAMMER – COMPANY FOCUS

The focus of the company is to improve results based advertising of every company and user that takes advantage of Heavy Hammer technologies. This is accomplished by creating cross platform ad solutions with particular attention to improving search results, satellite navigation, social networking, lead generation, video and mobile advertising.

Geo-targeting does not have to be local; national advertising campaigns that use geo-targeting ads can experience a greater ROI by focusing on the areas that want their products when and where they are most useful



STATEMENT FROM THE FOUNDER, MICHAEL URBANSKI

"We are proud to have been and continue to be at the forefront of new technologies. We do not shy away from the fact that at times we are going to introduce new technology. We embrace it and put it on the market for the world to see. We realize that many times new is scary so we try our best to simplify as much as possible the technology so that more people are able to absorb it more quickly. People in the 90's accused us of being crazy to launch geo-targeted online advertising and we took those criticisms and remained true to our belief that online advertising was too expensive for the average business. Today geo-targeting is standard on many sites and it continues to become more granular. Please take the time to visit our site www.HeavyHammer.com to see what we have done, are doing now, and are planning to do in the future?"

HeavyHammer's technical staff expressed that they are as confident and knowledgeable as any team online today. They don't posses an unlimited budget or resources but this only makes them strive to accomplish more with less. This cost savings of R and D is then passed on to the end users and allows business to use our systems and operations less expensively. The Client Services Department provides another layer of support that can handle most concerns but when the need for additional tech support arises, the tech team is there as the need dictates. HeavyHammer takes employee satisfaction seriously as well. Employee feedback and surveys reveal comments such as this, "Heavy Hammer New Media Solutions provides an environment that prides itself on allowing each member of each team to be as creative as they can be. Creativity is what makes things happen. When the tech team takes on a new project or initiative Mr. Urbanski gives them as much freedom as possible to allow their own experiences and knowledge to create the best solution. The same is true with each division in the company and is of the goals of the company since inception in 1999. " Ripoff Report was pleased to learn that HeavyHammer's past and current approach to business is focused on its pledge to total commitment towards client and employee satisfaction.



STATED IMPROVEMENTS FROM HEAVYHAMMER

" HeavyHammer recognizes that complaints posted on Ripoff Report (whether true or not) are issues that need to be addressed, not ignored. If handled correctly, complaints can be valuable learning opportunities. With the feedback generated by Ripoff Report's review, HeavyHammer has made organizational changes allowing its clients and employees a more streamlined approach to problem resolution and a commitment to a great client experience.”

In summary, after our review, which included discussions with Michael Urbanski, Ripoff Report is convinced that HeavyHammer is committed to quality delivery of services resulting in total client satisfaction.
