I have had the pleasure of working with Belkins for over a year now, and I must say that their services exceeded my expectations.

Right from the start, it was evident that Belkins had taken the time to thoroughly study our company and understand our strengths. 

They displayed a keen understanding of our ideal client profile, which was reflected in their approach towards our project. Belkins went above and beyond by creating comprehensive contact lists and initiating the initial campaigns. Although the first attempts did not yield the desired outcome, Belkins swiftly adapted their strategy to incorporate a multi-channel approach. 

Their focus on cold emailing and LinkedIn outreach proved to be a game-changer for us. Thanks to their diligent efforts, we achieved remarkable results. Belkins' meticulous attention to detail, combined with their expertise in crafting compelling outreach messages, played a crucial role in our success. Their ability to navigate various communication channels effectively was particularly impressive.

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

While my experience with Belkins was predominantly positive, there are a few areas where they could potentially improve or have done things differently to enhance the overall experience: 

1. Proactive Reporting: While Belkins did provide regular updates and reports on the progress of the campaign, they could have been more proactive in sharing insights and analysis of the data. Going beyond simple reporting to offer deeper analysis, strategic recommendations, or actionable insights would have added even more value to their services. 
2. Greater Personalization: Although Belkins demonstrated a strong understanding of our ideal client profile, they could have placed more emphasis on personalization in their outreach efforts. Tailoring messages to individual recipients based on their specific needs or pain points can significantly improve response rates and engagement levels.

Belkins was tasked with promoting our router GO to NGOs, broadcast, and media companies that require reliable connectivity in various locations.
