After opening our Fractional CMO practice, the team at FiveRings was tasked with helping us generate and close B2B leads that turned into paying clients. They expanded our network dramatically and had some unique and authentic methods of generating high-quality leads at a relatively low cost. Our investment with them paid off within the first 2 months and we're still happily with them today.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

• Our immediate measured outcomes were closing net-new clients that we're good to work with and profitable. Even though some clients FiveRings helped us close didn't end up working out, their methods have so far provided enough MRR to pay for them several times over... so the value has been very much worth it to us. Before hiring FiveRings, we never had enough time to really focus on our sales strategies so it's been a fruitful experience outsourcing this to them.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

We had an organized onboarding and several stages of information gathering and brief building. After this, they presented a strategy that we collaborated on and moved into implementation. They are clear and organized and take the time to really understand our niche and market. All items and stages were delivered before deadlines.
