Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We’ve had an outstanding experience working with the Martal Group for our pre-sales, lead generation, and appointment-setting needs. Their team has consistently delivered meetings with potential clients (from 1 to 2 qualified meetings per week), helping us to expand our reach in the market, which are leading to next stages in the sales cycle and partnerships. They provided valuable feedback on our outbound messaging, which has improved our engagement rates. 

Additionally, although our product is highly technical (database management), their insights into the technology market have directly contributed to our team refining our strategy. The follow-up from Martal Group has been consistent, and our messaging has improved week-by-week. Looking forward to continuing to work with them and can see us continuing to work with them as we grow.  I highly recommend their services to businesses looking to enhance their sales pipeline and GTM efforts.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We book one to two meetings every week. This may seem like a small number, but we have zero sales resources on our US team. Two reseller partners are in contract stages, and six prospects have advanced in the sales cycle. Martal produced one video for us. We also are receiving sales training and sales strategy advice from Martal. 

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

n/a on delivered items. Response times were generally within one to two hours. Although no SLAs were set, they were consistent in their responses, even outside of office hours. (which is probably an exception)

Martal was a perfect fit. I had evaluated other organizations and the single difference I saw in Martal was that there was no fluff to their marketing and they were genuine in their messaging. I could see other technical startups as well as larger organizations benefitting from Martal's services, as they are fast learners, openminded, respectful, and aggressive.

What was your primary form of communication with Martal Group?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

1. Consistent Communication
2. Open-mindedness (open to suggestions, no ego, professional attitude, and open to new suggestions)
   1. The opposite had to be maintained in terms of open-mindedness. From their own experiences, Martal had their own opinions about how we should sell our product and the feedback was much appreciated. 
3. Technical knowledge. Martal is strictly a sales team and my expectation of their technical knowledge was low, however, they understood the fundamentals of different technologies and understood where our technology could be a good fit. In terms of ramp-up, it took approximately 3 weeks to get the Martal team to understand our solution and the market fit despite being a highly technical solution.

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

Not at all. Stay aggressive, and keep the meetings coming!

The Sales Partner serves corporations, organizations and other entities and interacts
with potential customers on a daily basis (“Potential Leads”), for the purpose of introducing the
Company and its products, technology and services (the "Products") to the prospective Potential
Leads, and to solicit and assist, subject to the terms of this Agreement, in the booking of a sales
meeting between the Potential Lead and the Company for the proposed purchase or licensing of
Products by the Potential Leads.

Martal Group did a good job and were able to create a few client relationships for us. I was impressed with their ability to articulate detailed aspects of our B2B commercial collection service to prospects.

Yes, Kris responded in a timely fashion, was always present meetings and was reasonably insightful on trying to improve MG's promotional strategy, and hone in on improving various reporting metrics needed to drive success.

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

Ultimately the service cost wasn't sustainable when compared to results. It was impossible for me to know how much actual time was truly spent promoting our business. Actually I was so impressed with Harjit, that I would have expected a much better outcome. I suspect that may be due to the number of other MG clients under his purview.

So we have been having trouble getting leads. As such we were searching for a marketing company to help us find more customers. We stumbled upon Martal Group and found they came with a lot of good recommendations. It is benefiting us by giving us a better direction to get more leads. I like the weekly reviews where we can see what we are doing good. 

I also like being given reports of who is being responsive to our campaigns. I like how the Martal Group explains what exactly the campaigns are doing and why they are doing the things they are doing and how it can get us out there. I especially like the recommendations given to our company for our other advertising projects.

The Martal Group team has been an incredible help in streamlining all the stages of our sales pipeline. Since using their services, our client base has grown significantly.

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

Our experience with Martal Group was excellent. The team was always quick to respond to any of our queries and requests. Before Martal, we struggled to engage the content managers of major SaaS and tech businesses with the right messages. The Martal Group team helped us zero down the target leads, and built a plan of action to communicate with them effectively. Their help has been instrumental in Narrato standing out in the sea of SaaS companies.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Although we are still in the beginning of our collaboration, we have received several leads so far.

Very professional team who is well-experienced within their fields. We have chosen Martal after meeting quite a few of their competitors and the quality difference was incredibly obvious from the very beginning.

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

There is not much so far, though it could be nice for them to offer more flexible "packages" especially for smaller companies. I also hope that they expand their team to Europe more in the future! :)

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP of growth at clickworker, a crowdsourcing company. We have about 5 million affiliate workers around the world, predominantly working in resource data for technology companies in the AI and machine learning spaces. We do data training for large technology companies and startups equally. We also do a lot of e-commerce work, including store visits and product catalog tests for large manufacturers.

As for the company itself, we’re a mid-sized company with offices in the US and Europe. We combine our workers with a technology platform and a mobile app to gather data in a more economical way than they could achieve on their own.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

WWhat challenge were you trying to address with Martal Group?

We needed a partner to get us qualified leads and help us shape our sales engagement effectively. We also needed help managing our larger customers.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Martal Group helps us with lead generation and sales engagement. They use a multi-channel approach, leveraging emails, phone calls, and LinkedIn interactions to generate leads. Initially, we defined an ideal customer profile and provided Martal Group with some information about our business.

Creating the scripts and messaging has been a collaborative effort. In many ways, Martal Group is better than us at creating email scripts because they know the email structure better for how to craft the body and place the call-to-action effectively. They also create the scripts for the phone calls, and all their work is fine-tuned by us.

Obviously, Martal Group’s work includes managing lead generation campaigns for us. For these campaigns, we simply give them high-level specifications and some recommendations, and they go out and get us a combination of marketing-qualified leads and sales-qualified leads. Additionally, they help us hold meetings to have conversations with potential customers and try to close deals.

Martal Group is also proficient in other areas like Google ads because they do that kind of work for them and other clients. Still, those services are something we don’t need from them. We’re mainly focused on lead generation and sales engagement.

What is the team composition?

Around five teammates from Martal Group have been involved in the project in different areas like marketing, sales, and management, including Vito (Founder & Director).

How did you come to work with Martal Group?

We selected Martal Group due to a number of factors. Part of it was their location, another part was their reputation, and yet another part was the language. Vito speaks multiple languages, which was a great advantage for us.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been working with Martal Group since around Q1 2018.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

We’ve been able to measure Martal Group’s work by using our ROI based on their performance and the number of leads we’ve obtained. Over time, we’ve seen a great ROI.

In terms of qualitative feedback, we’ve been able to use several other services and compare them with Martal Group’s. Every time, the quality of their work has exceeded the other organizations’. Due to those reasons, we’ve kept coming back to Martal Group.

How did Martal Group perform from a project management standpoint?

Martal Group’s project management has been excellent. They have a distributed model, so a lot of different resources specialize in project management and engagement. They have a very slick, well-oiled, and professional framework, so we’ve never had any problems with the deliverables.

We typically communicate with Martal Group via email, phone, and virtual meetings through Zoom and Microsoft Teams. At times, we’ve also communicated via instant messaging. The fact that they have multiple communication channels is appreciated.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

I would like to give a shout-out to Vito. He’s very experienced, professional, and spot-on overall.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Martal Group is very adept at learning the ins and outs of our business effectively, to the point that they’ve almost become experts in the early phases of selling and engaging with our customers. They seem to be very good at understanding our business and effectively engaging with people to lead them toward showing interest in our business.

Martal Group has also offered a high degree of consistency. They’re very hardworking and innovative, so they always tell us what has changed, what they’re doing differently, and what new approaches they’re trying. For example, they observe our competitors to see what they’re doing and what results they’re getting. Basically, they’re always changing and optimizing, which we’ve found very useful.

In summary, the fact that they provide an excellent ROI and the fact that they’re very innovative and forward-thinking are Martal Group’s two differentiating factors.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing we would change about Martal Group. If anything, we would like to have more budget to expand their services and target different segments we currently don’t target.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

You have to do your part as well. Spend time thinking and planning upfront the process and ask a lot of questions to get your requirements very clear. Many people assign all the responsibilities to the lead generation company without doing the preparation work they need to do.

Additionally, having weekly meetings with them is very effective for highlighting issues or changes. Constant and frequent communication is very important.

Our funnel is flowing at full speed, thanks to Martal. We had some success on our own, but our sales cycle lasted six to nine months. Prospecting for clients was our team's biggest hurdle. Since Martal started scheduling appointments for our BDRs, we’ve closed more deals. We’re adding an additional sales executive so we can scale faster. Martal Group has been integral in expanding our client base into the US.

While we had already established some solid, long-term relationships in the EMEA, we struggled to gain traction in North America. Over the past three months, our funnel has grown exponentially. We are really excited about the opportunities in our pipeline.

Honestly, I had worked with other lead generation firms before that had promised the world but came back empty-handed. I am happy to say that with Martal Group, things have been much different. All the reps have experience in tech sales and know the buyer personas inside and out, which has been a game changer. We had meetings booked on our calendars in less than a month of campaigning. If these results continue, I fully expect to carry on a long-term partnership with Martal. Martal wasn’t what I expected.

Usually, with these lead gen agencies, you get a lot of unqualified leads that just don’t make sense. It’s a frustrating waste of time. That being said, Martal delivered on its promises. We are blown away by the team’s professionalism and industry knowledge. We’ve learned a lot about our target market and how to position our brand. The opportunities they have generated are perfect fits. We couldn’t be happier!
