Describe what your company does in a single sentence.

 Cooperation with **Zrist** and Rostyslav personally was very productive for us. They took over the full cycle of lead generation through LinkedIn - from strategy to daily communication management - and provided a steady stream of quality leads.

We especially appreciate their consistency, quick response to changes, and ability to adapt to our tone and style of communication. Rostyslav is always in touch, delves into the details of the project, and is not afraid to take the initiative when needed.

As a result, we have reached new clients with whom we have already launched pilots. We recommend **Zrist** as a reliable lead generation partner for B2B businesses.

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

Project Management & Communication
Zrist demonstrated strong and reliable project management throughout our engagement.

Timely delivery: All key deliverables — from profile optimization to message funnels and weekly reports — were delivered on time and consistently.
Responsiveness: Rostyslav and his team were highly responsive to our questions, requests, and feedback. We never had to chase them — they were proactive in communication, often flagging issues or opportunities before we even noticed them.
Transparency: We received weekly reports with clear KPIs, outcomes, and proposed optimizations, which helped us track progress and stay aligned on goals.
Flexibility: Zrist was open to iterations — whether it was testing new messaging, adjusting target segments, or refining tone of voice, they quickly implemented changes and adapted to our evolving needs.
Autonomy: One of the biggest advantages was that they managed the entire LinkedIn outreach process with minimal input from our side, yet always kept us in the loop.

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

What impressed us most about Zrist
What stood out the most was Zrist’s ability to combine structure with personalization at scale. Many lead generation services rely on generic automation — but the team took a more thoughtful, hands-on approach that felt both human and strategic.

Some standout qualities:

Founder-led involvement: Rostyslav was personally involved in every stage of the process. He wasn’t just delegating — he understood our business and tailored the strategy accordingly.
Balance of quality and consistency: They delivered a steady stream of leads, without sacrificing message relevance or tone. Every outreach felt considered, not spammy.
Proactivity: We were impressed with how often they came to us with ideas for optimization, rather than just executing a fixed plan.
Clarity & transparency: The reporting was clean, metrics were actionable, and we always understood where we stood.

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

Areas for Improvement
While our overall experience with Zrist was very positive, there are a couple of areas where they could continue to grow:

Scalability of outreach: At times, because of their personalized and manual approach, the volume of outreach was slightly limited. For companies looking to scale very aggressively, a hybrid model (manual + smart automation) could help increase reach without losing personalization.
Industry-specific context: Although the team was quick to learn, in niche or highly technical industries, it could be helpful if Zrist incorporated deeper onboarding or pre-research to fine-tune messaging from day one.
That said, these are minor suggestions. What mattered most — quality, reliability, and results — they consistently delivered.

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

For the ZRIST project, we set out a goal to find clients for Google and Facebook advertising on LinkedIn.

We bought a service where we were guaranteed 5 effective meetings. We could immediately see the professional approach of ZRIST, how they analyzed, how they prepared.

In the end we got more meetings, just some of them were not counted as “useful”. This is a good point because usually lead generation agencies want to count all the meetings that happened.

In the end, we got 1 deal out of 5 effective meetings (for our services, a 20% conversion rate is very good). 

We were satisfied with the cooperation and will continue to work in the future.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We got 5 effective meetings and 1 closed deal. The conversion rate is 20%.

We worked with ZRIST to support our lead generation efforts, primarily targeting media and entertainment companies that require localization services. Their team managed outreach via LinkedIn and email, aiming to connect us with decision-makers in the industry. Over the course of the collaboration, they successfully secured multiple calls and expanded our network.

ZRIST maintained a structured and organized approach to lead generation. They provided regular updates on outreach efforts and were responsive to feedback, adjusting strategies when needed. Their team was punctual in delivering reports and keeping communication transparent.

While the overall engagement rate varied, they remained proactive in optimizing their approach. In the final weeks, they demonstrated strong execution, successfully scheduling multiple calls within a short period.

Overall, their responsiveness and adaptability were notable strengths in managing the project.

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

One of the most impressive aspects of working with ZRIST was their trustworthiness and transparency throughout the process. They maintained clear communication, provided regular updates, and were always upfront about expectations and results. Their willingness to adapt and adjust strategies based on feedback showed a strong commitment to delivering value. It was reassuring to work with a team that prioritized honesty and professionalism in their approach.

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

ZRIST was effective in expanding our network and arranging calls, though lead qualification could be refined. Some prospects did not move forward due to shifting priorities or a focus on pricing rather than collaboration.

A more targeted filtering approach and additional insights on lead readiness could further improve outreach efficiency. That said, ZRIST was persistent and adaptable, and with continued refinements, their service could be even stronger.

We needed help searching for potential clients on LinkedIn. Our goal was to expand our client base through an additional channel and receive new projects from clients on LinkedIn.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of work done by ZRIST?

During the project, ZRIST processed several thousand contacts. A representative from ZRIST was present at each call and actively corresponded with potential customers to bring them up for an online call. We gave guidelines on what criteria to select the target audience: aesthetics, architecture, design, and real estate. We provided a list of companies that interest us.

What is the team composition?

We worked with four teammates from ZRIST.

How did you come to work with ZRIST?

We found ZRIST through a referral. We chose them over other options because their price met our requirements, and the proposed working conditions suited us.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with them from March–May 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our service area is quite specific, so attracting customers can be a difficult task. However, ZRIST's efforts helped us hold online meetings with more than 18 potential customers. Although our goal was to get new projects from clients through LinkedIn and we haven't achieved that goal yet, we received positive feedback from potential customers. They said they didn't have any projects for us yet, but maybe they would in the future.

We communicated via Telegram and Zoom. ZRIST's project management was excellent. They responded well to our needs, and all communication was good and professional.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We were impressed with ZRIST's active involvement in the process.

We could have benefited from a better filter for potential clients. Our main challenge was selecting high-quality potential customers. The main focus of our company is aesthetics, high-quality visuals, architecture, and design. Most clients for whom visuals are important are usually placed on platforms where it can be actively promoted, such as Instagram. LinkedIn has a different focus.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Maybe fewer processed contacts, but with our target ones.
