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

What impressed us most about them was their no-nonsense communication style. They’re direct, honest, and don’t shy away from telling you when something isn’t working, which kept us on track and helped us improve faster. Their team is made up of seasoned CRM experts, growth hackers, cold email specialists, and experienced entrepreneurs who truly understand the intricacies of scaling a business. They worked with us closely, not just as service providers but as partners invested in our success. This unique combination of expertise and transparency made a real difference for us.

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

While we had a great experience with Affluent Digital, one area for improvement could be in providing a bit more detailed onboarding documentation upfront. Their fast-paced approach was effective, but a more comprehensive initial guide could have helped us get up to speed even quicker. That said, they were always responsive and quick to address any questions we had along the way, so this was a minor aspect in an otherwise excellent collaboration.
