Leadium took over our sales funnel. They hit hard on phone calls, converting cold introductions into qualified sales calls.

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

Leadium's edge lies in their strategic planning of campaigns - they don’t just supply leads, they provide quality prospects accurately aligned with our unique business proposition. Their data-centric profiling approach meant we didn’t waste time on ill-fitting leads, boosting our sales efficiency considerably.

This level of precision, combined with their highly responsive approach, makes Leadium standout. They delivered exactly what we required, when we needed it, fueling tangible growth in sales conversions and a positive ROI.

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

Their initial ramp-up time. For a sales-driven business like ours, time is of the essence. Although their tailored lead generation strategy eventually yielded high-quality prospects, a quicker initiation phase would have enabled us to capitalize on market opportunities more rapidly.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Segment is a tool that helps businesses gather information about their customers. It makes it easy for different teams in the company to use this information, by providing a set of tools that allow them to collect data in a consistent way and combine all the information they have about a customer.

This helps ensure that the data is accurate and accessible to everyone who needs it, and it can be easily sent to other systems that the company uses. My role is to lead my department in expanding revenue by developing and executing sales campaigns within new product territories.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Leadium?

We've used Leadium for a few different engagements now, and it's helped us provide revenue potential in new market territories without diverting personnel away from our internal Sales Development team. Their task was to identify specific niches inside specialized markets and engage in conversation with those segments through outbound email and phone calling campaigns managed by a US team of SDRs.

Our sales team was able to spend more time on pre-qualified leads as a result of these outcomes, which allowed us to boost their productivity and free them from the need to sourcing their own pipeline.

SOLUTION

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

Our company carefully evaluated several agencies before choosing Leadium. We were impressed by their 8-year successful track record and the fact that the company's founders are actively involved in managing our program. We also appreciated that the entire Leadium team is based in the US. While pricing was not a major factor for us, we also appreciated the flexibility of their monthly agreement which helps ensure that we are a priority for them.

We've used Leadium for a few different engagements now, and it's helped us provide revenue potential in new market territories without diverting personnel away from our internal Sales Development team. Their task was to identify specific niches inside specialized markets and engage in conversation with those segments. Our sales team was able to spend more time on pre-qualified leads as a result of these outcomes, which allowed us to boost their productivity and free them from the need to sourcing their own pipeline.

Leadium provided the strategy for each campaign, integrated an Apollo instance for our program, managed deliverability across multiple sales development domains, and executed all of our outbound activity. We developed a true agency relationship in which we provided inputs on our market, but Leadium developed and executed the entirety of the sales campaign.

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

In our partnership with Leadium, we had a comprehensive team of resources that included direct interaction with the founders to oversee our campaign strategy, a dedicated research team, a technical manager to handle integrations, a Head of Sales Development who kept us informed of SDR activity, and 2 US-based SDRs who handled email and phone outreach.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

As one of the founders was always my primary point of contact, I never felt like I was being passed off to a mid-level employee. In addition, I liked that Leadium assigned a dedicated team member to each component of the outbound function. I was pleased by their implementation of high-level concepts, such as personality data to personalize messaging. Their team was clearly motivated to perform and book meetings for us.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Workflows are ideal for our team. Leadium provides you immediate access during business hours to every team member, including their founders. You have a Slack Channel, weekly performance Zoom calls, access to Apollo, recordings of all outbound calls, and direct integration to your CRM.

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

What I appreciate most about working with Leadium is the degree of knowledge and skill exhibited by its founders. Working directly with them allowed for the swift implementation of a well-conceived plan.

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

While Leadium is able to deliver a repeatable and measurable program for sales appointments, there are restrictions regarding the pace with which many campaigns can be launched and activity can be pushed. There are times when, as a sales team, we desire rapid results yet are constrained by the rate at which we can launch and execute initiatives.

This is a trade-off that comes with hiring an agency to manage a certain component of our business, but it is something we should be aware of and evaluate before deciding to work with them.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

My company is a technology company that has a data product that sits within your existing tech stack to enrich and validate stale data with new relevant details based on buyer intent signals. I'm the Sales Development Manager, which means it's my job to oversee the prospecting efforts to sign new logos.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Leadium?

We hired Leadium to create our new sales opportunities. We did not want to hire an entry-level sales team that we would have to manage daily and purchase new software for them to be successful. Because we do not have a lot of experience with building a comprehensive lead pipeline through outbound, we thought hiring an agency like Leadium would give us the best strategy and daily execution.

SOLUTION

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

We selected this firm because of their experience and strategy. We liked that they have been in business for a few years and service a limited amount of clients each month. This ensured that the executive team was involved in our account and that they had the bandwidth to focus on our campaign. The strategy was also thorough enough to align with what we anticipated to be a more difficult breaking-the-ice campaign.

Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package.

Leadium is handling every aspect of our lead pipeline. They are responsible for researching our ideal customer profile. They then have a dedicated research team assigned to our account that is responsible for finding the right people at the right companies that match our target market. Once we approve our lead lists they begin a multi-channel prospecting effort in channel-optimized campaigns. The Sales Development Reps who handle our outbound activity spend a lot of time learning our product and personalizing the emails/calls accordingly. Because we have integrated our Salesforce instance with Apollo, we can see real-time activity into what their team is doing and appointments are booked directly into our calendar.

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

We have a team of people working on our account. The founders of Leadium work with us on strategy and content creation, but we also have a technical resource, a research team, and multiple Sales Development Reps.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We've now increased our service agreement twice in the first 5 months of service. We were very open at the beginning that based on launch execution and strategy, if we had confidence moving forward from there we would double the campaign. Leadium has met every objective we set within the time. Right now they are responsible for a sales quota of 35 qualified held meetings per month. This accounts for $3.5m in pipeline opportunities created monthly based on our average customer size. We've most liked seeing the quality of leads are substantially high quality when compared to inbound. There is a 15% close rate for inbound compared to a 26% close rate on the appointments Leadium is setting.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Leadium essentially operates as an internal department. Communication is regular weekly meetings in which we have a now standardized call outline. During the week we have open communication with our dedicated team on Slack.

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

The clear attention to detail, quality, and strategy that they provide specific to our account was amazing to see. We agreed to work with Leadium because of the relationship we built during our own sales process and we're confident and trusting in Leadium's team to execute on a day to day basis because of their management team and their daily involvement with us.

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

Nothing that we can see as of yet.
