SOLUTION

Describe the project in detail.

We needed to make sure that we have enough leads in our sales funnel. Thus Bekins team took over lead generation processes in accordance with our ICP and Target Audience, to keep the leads coming.

We also couldn’t manage big volumes and needed assistance reaching out and making appointments. We also required some consulting on how to make our emails better and avoid negative spam rates.

What was the team composition?

We were working with researchers, SDRs, and account managers.

We managed to get a positive amount of leads on a weekly basis. We have gone further with some of the leads and are now at the stage of project discussion which is a great proof of success. The leads had great quality and were interested in our services which means that Belkins team dug deep into what we do and who our ideal customer is.

The team communicated with our manager and with me via Slack channel, we also had a couple of great calls to learn more about the processes. All in all, I am very satisfied and can say that the workflow was smooth and pleasant.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Belkins?

Appointment setting with fortune 1000 was the service we were looking for.

What were your goals for this project?

We didn’t have a robust strategy in place that allowed us to generate leads at scale. Belkins was able to build that process for us and that led to great results. Also, we benefited greatly from their proprietary technology Folderly that helped our emails to bypass spam filters.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Looked them up on Clutch.

Describe the project in detail.

Everything started with our conversion with the sales guy Michael,l who happened to be one of the founders. He walked us through the process. Once we had a successful trial, we signed the agreement and had an onboarding process with the Belkins team.

Then we met the team once per week. Also, we had a Slack channel, so we felt like they worked closely with us. Since we all work remotely, we didn’t feel the difference.

What was the team composition?

We primarily worked with the Account Manager and SDR.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They booked 8-10 meetings on a monthly basis. Sometimes we had 12-14 meetings, but that was during before covid happened. The closing rate and ROI was great though!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Belkins was able to build our top-of-the-funnel by engaging with fortune 1000 companies on our behalf. Now we are able to expand our strategic relationships with these companies due to Belkins ability to deliver.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

We had a great experience working with Belkins. The team is very professional, they are keen on digging into details and professionally handling every aspect of their work from a strategy session to actual appointments booking or rescheduling.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Everything went great.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Dashly is a customer communication platform for your business. We help acquire customers with data collecting forms, nurture them with personalized automated messages. I run our internal sales force and work with Belkins to generate high quality hot leads for our sales team.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Belkins?

We hired Belkins to source leads on our behalf, then engage with them and convert sales leads into appointments.

What were your goals for this project?

We had three objections in front of us:

1. Automate lead generation
2. Set up effective marketing outreach
3. Turn as many leads into booked appointments as we can; As a result we would generate more clients.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We found them when we looked for Top Lead Generation agencies in the US.

Describe the project in detail.

They built a database for us that matched our ICP. Then they automated outreach leveraging multiple tools. After their team of copywriters prepared templates, messages and a playbook, the SDR launched campaigns and start generating responses.

On a daily basis, SDR attended to all incoming emails and followed up with prospects who were warm. Then SDR turned these warm leads into sales qualified leads and delivered them to us by accessing our calendars and setting up appointments. Our SE moved these meetings to closing.

What was the team composition?

We worked with Researchers, an SDR and AM.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have benefited greatly from the experience that Belkins has in SaaS. We found out that the agency has successfully developed several SaaS products in-house and they grow these products together with the agency, so they know where we are coming from and what are the challenges that we face on a daily basis.

Some of the problems that Belkins helped us overcome are:

1. Low quality prospects in our database. (we were not able to achieve accurate leads’ information with other providers)
2. Spam problems with our emails. (every time we launched new campaigns we experienced low performance because of spam)
3. Low conversion into appointments (we knew that our conversion was below average)

As a result of our engagement, Belkins was able to address these 3 challenges and because of this we had an increase in our pipeline by 200% in the first 3 months.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

I can’t complain.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The most impressive about Belkins is that they are very detail oriented. They measure every part of the funnel and provide very detailed marketing reports.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Everything was super professional.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

We hired Belkins to boost our sales process and outsource top of the funnel. We were looking for a turnkey solution and Belkins was able to tailor one for us.

What were your goals for this project?

We had the same challenges as other startups have: a small team, everyone wearing many hats, no sales processes in place. The most logical and budget-friendly solution was to find an experienced partner like Belkins who can realize the lead generation on our behalf.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We found them on Clutch as #1 lead generation agency.

Describe the project in detail.

We went through the onboarding process with their team, then they spent a few days preparing the leads and templates. Also, our IT team assisted them with the mailboxes’ setup. By the end of the first week, they send us everything for a review.

After we approved the templates and leads they launched outreach campaigns. Then we had a call once per week where we discussed the booked calls and the SDR worked with our feedback to improve the quality of upcoming booked calls.

What was the team composition?

We worked with 5 people and the account manager was the main point of contact.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Belkins was and is a great partner to work with. They were able to learn our product in detail, understand, and analyze our Ideal Customer Profile, prepare leads, mailboxes, email content as well as professionally support our account throughout the entire campaign.

Furthermore, they delivered multiple sales qualified leads (I don’t have the number in front of me now) and we converted around 20% of them in new paid accounts.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We were using Slack and Zoom for day to day and week calls. The team was always available in European and US working hours.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They have a great process in place. It’s simple but elegant and it’s working! Again, Belkins great job!

Are there any areas for improvement?

There is nothing that stands out.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Belkins?

We are a small SaaS company developing a product designed, built and run by engineers. You can imagine how difficult it is to sell the product when you don’t have much experience in marketing and selling. Belkins was able to run marketing campaigns on our behalf while educating us on how things work.

What were your goals for this project?

Most of our leads came from the word of mouth historically and for some time we didn’t know how to build lead generation to produce leads consistently. We had no idea what tools to use, content to send and how to generate leads. We needed a professional firm and Belkins fit right in.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

They were recommended by a friend of ours who worked with them and was satisfied with the work they did.

Describe the project in detail.

We brainstormed the ICP, then the Belkins team prepared templates and messages. They also built a database with my ideal customers. Then SDR runs target campaigns, every day handling responses and setting up calls. To my surprise we have more calls every next month and they keep coming until now!
