BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Director of Business Development at Swarm Solutions. Swarm remotely augments our client's engineering team with Sr. Full-Stack JavaScript engineers to increase team velocity & bandwidth without shipping tech debt. I am in charge of a team of SDRs and Leads Researchers responsible for running outbound outreach campaigns and securing meetings with prospects for our Co-Founder. Our outbound campaigns have 3 main channels - email, phone, and social.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire SalesAR, and what were your goals?

As we are expanding our business development team, the question of how to handle email deliverability came up. We hired SalesAR to fully manage our email deliverability tests, perform email warm-up activities, and support our SDR team on any email deliverability-related matters. SalesAR handles mailboxes for the whole SDR team, which consists of 2 people (expected to expand to 5 in 1-2 months) and includes 4 mailboxes for them to manage (expected to expand to 10 mailboxes in 1-2 months).

SOLUTION

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

I knew about SalesAR from personal experience since I briefly worked for them in early 2020. I've reached out to them directly on LI and connected with Roman Shapoval regarding SalesAR's new anti-spam service. Since we were looking for a permanent solution for our email deliverability management needs, we have compared SalesAR with 2 other competitors. After a month of testing SalesAR clearly came out on top of their competition by providing a highly custom and effective solution, providing a much greater value compared to the competition. Thus we decided to go with SalesAR and expanded our project to the whole SDR team.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used.

First, after having a face-to-face meeting with SalesAR representative, we have agreed on starting a test month with SalesAR handling two mailboxes for one SDR. SalesAR would be responsible for performing email deliverability tests, conducting email warm-up activities but manually emulating email correspondence with multiple mailboxes, and providing valuable advice and insight into deliverability-related trends and best practices on a regular basis. In order to provide visibility and keep a record of each mailbox they manage for us, SalesAR provided us with a constantly updating google sheet doc outlying the status of each mailbox on a daily basis. The doc itself is incredibly insightful and easy to read. SalesAR communicates with our team as needed in a shared Slack channel.

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

From SalesAR's side, Roman Shapoval, the Account Manager and the person responsible for email deliverability activities at SalesAR, was the main POC for our team since day one, with occasional involvement from Roman Shvets, the Founder & CEO. Roman Shapoval remained the main and only person working on our email deliverability project. He is responsible for virtually all aspects of the project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

SalesAR has effectively taken over the email deliverability activities, allowing our SDR team to free up many hours to focus on outreach and scheduling meetings. We have seen a major improvement in our mailboxes' email reputation and longevity. On average, we encounter spam issues 3 to 4 times less frequently compared to an in-house solution and other third-party competitors. This led to fewer disruptions in our outreach campaigns which allowed us to reach out to a greater number of prospects reliably.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow is virtually perfect. SalesAR took over the email deliverability activities, taking this responsibility off mine and my team's hands. By remaining available and responding to our inquiries quickly in our shared Slack channel, Roman acts as an extension of our team responsible for anti-spam activities. In this capacity, SalesAR are effectively integrated into our workflow. Common tools we use (Zoom, Slack, Google Sheets, etc.) made the integration a seamless process.

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

SalesAR have quickly become an integral part of our business development efforts. They have fully taken over email deliverability-related activities from our team. Their service was perfect for our workflow, not to mention being very effective while providing the best value on the market that I know of.

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

While I can't speak for their main lead generation services, their anti-spam service ended up being perfect for us. I can't come up with any meaningful issues that we encountered or something that should have been done differently.

SDR had to get in touch with all of them and set calls for me.

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

I contacted 4 people from the team - always in touch with acount manager, then sdr, head of reserach and content writer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

We did not expect such great results from a simple automated outreach campaign. Our industry is very sophisticated and people we want to talk to are not that easy to reach out too. In one month the team set 20 appointments which were absolutely fantastic.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It was very easy and professional

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

The main and outstanding achievement of the current campaign is the 2% conversion rate. So the company delivers great results.

Then they shared different versions of emails that they would be sending about our API and asked me to review them for accuracy.

Besides the salesperson, I've been working with two people.

First, they found a lot of potential contacts and shared them with me in a Google sheets file, after that they started reaching out to them and setting up appointments.

We shared a Slack channel where we could quickly communicate about potential clients and where new appointments were shared in addition to getting added to my calendar. I was getting weekly reports on the number of potential contacts found, on email open rate, the number of clients reached, and the number of appointments scheduled. Overall the experience was great!

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

This is my first lead gen company, so I don't have anything to compare them to but I love how organized and professional they are. At the end of the day, I am measuring them based on the number of sales calls that they book for me and the quality of those leads. Now that they started working I seem to have a constant stream of calls, which is awesome.

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

Not really, I think they are doing an awesome job.

SOLUTION

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

We tried to promote ourselves by our in-house team, but the process was very slow. Then we realized that we were ready to cooperate with a Led Gen agency because our in-house team couldn’t cope with this huge amount of work.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

Our service is one-of-a-kind, but the SalesAR team wasn’t afraid to take the responsibility and promised us that the process would go smoothly after conducting research. The most difficult task for them was to find companies at the stage of implementing their ideas into physical prototypes. After numerous discussions within the team, they're decided to focus on startups that received funding in the last quarter. The project was quickly launched (it took us less than a week after the onboarding call to start the outreach). Then SDR’s scrupulous work on the correspondence began, and thanks to SalesAR team’s active participation, all requests were quickly handled and calls were set up.

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

We worked directly with an account manager and an SDR.

SalesAR is very comfortable to work with. After a thorough discussion of our requirements, we received a list of companies the team had been planning to work on.

They did an excellent job with the outreach and LinkedIn campaign, communicated with the prospects and set up a number of calls with qualified leads.

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

First of all, I appreciated the skills of the SalesAR specialists and their ability to find a common language. But the work itself impressed me just as much!
