BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Im a Business Development Manager in a SaaS company, helping large companies around the world create complex documents faster and with increased quality.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire AI bees, and what were your goals?

Normally we have high travel activity in order to obtain new business. When Covid hit we needed to change the way we meet new prospects in order to continue generating new business.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We did some searches online, and decided to try several ways or generating new leads, AI Bees was one of them.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used.

We did an email and a Linkedin campaign. Togheter with the AI-Bees account manager we identified targets and started working on our message that would resonate with potential prospects in order to secure high quality leads. This was closely monitored by the Account manager in order to make small changes as we go in order to maximize our ROI. Ria, our Account Manager was great in making sure our rollout went smoothly.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

2-5 resources Account Manager and Responder were regulars in our weekly meetings, and they would bring in other resources as needed in order to meet our requirements.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The campaign resulted in over 100 leads for our company.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We had online meetings weekly to monitor the campaign. This worked well, our account manager Ria was always just a phonecall or an email away should we have any questions in between meetings so this worked out great.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Our Account Manager, Ria. She was definatly the backbone of this partnership, she understood our needs and would do anything to ensure we were successful.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

We had a great account manager (Ria), and a great responder (Diana) Ria got a well deserved promotion, and Diana left the company. After Diana was taken of the account we struggled to get a responder that understood our business and as a result the quality and the amount of leads suffered.

We never got back to the same high quality that we had gotten used to when our account was under Rias management, and Diana was our responder. Making sure the AM and responder propperly understand the clients business is key in order to keep the partnership going long term.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We worked with an Account Manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

It worked great although as we had very specific topics and invitations, it was difficult to write the different steps of the invitation process. Once a questions occurs it doesn't work anymore. So I mostly used AIBees just for the first contact. In gerenal it worked well and we generated a lot of new contacts.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We had video calls every other week and it worked great as my Account Manager helped me on each step of our campaigns.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They can make it sound like you actually wrote all messages yourself - although there are limitations (see above) if the other persons asks questions that differ from what you expect.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

As written above: I don't know how or maybe I just missed it - but to get better notifications if you get answers and a time period where you can stop the bot before he send out the next message that then maybe doesn't fit to the questions the person asked.

For what projects/services did your company hire AI bees?

Lead Generation focused around Food & Discrete Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals and high-tech.

SOLUTION

How did you select Al bees and what were the deciding factors?

They reached out to me through LinkedIn. I liked their pitch around the combination of artificial intelligence & human touch in terms of driving outcomes of campaigns. I strongly believe full marketing automation leads to sub-par results as messages are insufficiently personalized and this is something that AI Bees stated to have addressed.

I only saw this from 2nd hand but understood most of this worked well, even tho we had a few comm breakdowns where misalignment existed and some communication was sent out in a disjointed manner

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They had a great sales team with nice ideas and concepts.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

When they are working under the persona of a customer representative, it is sensitive to have communication issues as it has direct exposure - this should have been avoided. I can't comment on other matters

Every week I get a weekly report of the responses and leads of potential clients. If there where any deviations, they worked on solutions right away!

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Most impressive for me are the very smart marketing strategies and the psychology behind it. Everything worked much better than I thought.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire AI bees?

In order to generating additional leads through LinkedIn I was looking for tools that improve the outcome of outreach campaigns. Especially at greenfield accounts, the outreach outcome was often low, as you can imagine prospects are not easy to reach these times. AI Bees was specially chosen for booking meetings with potential targets within those greenfield accounts.

What were your goals for this project?

To book at least 20-30 meetings with relevant contact persons at various companies (not vertical specific) in between 3 months. With booking those meeting I accelerated my time for booking first appointments with my focus targets (at least by 30%).

AI Bees was recommended to me by a close friend, who is strongly focussed within his own pipeline generation activities. As he proved his success to me I felt confident using AI Bees.

What was the team composition?

2 contacts from AI Bees were involved during my usage, one dedicated Account Manager as well as the CSO was multiple time engaged during the process. As a result of a growing usage of AI Bees was massively growing over the last 12 months.

I managed to break into an account that is strongly using legacy technology.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I felt really comfortable working with AI Bees. The acceleration of getting first meetings booked, in that timeline felt pretty impressive. The solution overall is nearly completely managed, the efforts configuring the GUI were low.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Nothing that I can tell so far.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am working for Cherry GmbH, headquartered in Germany. Cherry is a leading global manufacturer of computer input devices with a focus on Office, Gaming, Industry, Security, Digital Health and switches for mechanical keyboards. In my role as Marketing Manager for the Digital Health products - focusing the german healthcare market - I am creating and monitoring marketing strategies, campaigns and all relevant marketing channels.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire AI Bees?

We have been looking for opportunities to effectively generate awareness within the target group to position us a a relevant hardware brand in the german healthcare market. Therefore we aimed to generate leads in the market and create a dialog direct to the end customers. 

We hired AIBees to support us in lead generation due to our limited sales & marketing resources. AIBees provides us a service with fully automated lead generation process via LinkedIN sales navigator to get in contact and communicate with our determined target group and build a huge long lasting network.

What were your goals for this project?

We aimed to increase our product sales and position our relevant product portfolio directly to the relevant decision makers in the market during the decision making process. Besides this we want to leverage the growing network to keep them updated with our products for further developments. We needed a reliable approach to build a professional image with limited time exposure.

SOLUTION

How did you select AI Bees?

Through direct contact with the manging director. Hadn't heard of a similar intelligent solution and tried their service with setting up a test campaign and decided to move forward with their excellent solution.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

After getting in touch with the managing director we started to set up the first test campaign to evaluate their service. Therefore, our sales representative and me provided them with product material, marketing data, a market overview and talked about the target customers we want to address and generate leads with to provide the vendor an overview about our company and goals.

We signed up for LinkedIn Sales Navigator and improved our connected LinkedIn sales profile with their tips and connected with their automated solution. They provided us example templates, we modified for our specific need and we conducted searches on LinkedIn together to specify our target customers. After this, they set up the campaign. We received login data for the monitoring dashboard and were able to review and make changes withtin the campaign everytime.

Their support included the access to their automated tool, which makes the campaigns running with our connected LinkedIn Profile. They adjusted and monitored the running campaigns and automated message process within their dashboard solution and make suggestions for further message or contact campaigns.

What was the team composition?

First, we discussed our topic with the managing sales director of AIBEES. He coordinated our first test campaign with determining the target group, suggesting the templates and set up the campaign and provided us with results during running. He was our direct contact person and available everytime.

After this, we started further several campaigns and had an own account manager from their team. They improved their customer support regularly and we received weekly reports and set up weekly update calls to go through the current campagins and clarify open questions and adjusting/discussing new campaigns.

Their company increased siginificantly during our cooperation so the account manager changed during our long cooperation due to internal structural changes which comes along with such a fast-growing and popular company. The changes were no problem at all and they had a perfect handover of our topics and product and project goals. Every account manager was supportive and always available for questions.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Since beginning to work with AI Bees we increased our leads within the target groups and build a huge network on LinkedIn and guide traffic to our LinkedIn Page and product website. We were able to use the automated intelligent tool to communicate with our customers we would not have been able to address without AIBees.

The software saved us a huge amount of time and efforts. The target customers had not recognized the automation behind their messages which was so important to keep a professional image. After the lead generation process, we kept in contact with the contacts in webinars or direct calls and noticed the product awareness within the market due to increased demand from the addressed customers.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was very effective and pleasant from the very beginning. It started with direct contact via mails and calls with the managing sales director/founder from their team. The account manager that we were assigned to later in the process was available for our us everytime via mail. We kept in contact in our weekly update calls and monitored the dashboard. Additionally, their provided us a weekly update report about the generated leads. I could count on a fast reply and support during the whole project, whenever I asked for. Their frequently asked for feedback and were open to improve their service.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

We highly appreciated the direct contact to the managing director of the company at the beginning of our cooperation. We were taken seriously and he provided us with so good recommendations for our campaigns to support our lead generation process. Every person we worked with was so extraordinarily friendly and supportive.

Are there any areas for improvement?

We were satisfied with their work and service at every step of our collaboration. So we will keep using their service tool.
