We wanted to get new leads from the Oil & Energy industry.

SOLUTION

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

Belkins appeared in several search results as one of the top U.S. appointment-setting agencies. We read their reviews on Clutch and checked case studies on the website. Their lead-gen results were impressive, so we decided to collaborate.

For almost 9 months of cooperation, Belkins generated 7,000+ leads and set 40 appointments. At some point, we asked them to run an extra qualification round to get sales leads right off the bat.

Their creativity. Though we asked Belkins to search the Oil & Energy, they added Hospitality and Manufacturing industries to the list. Sometimes they used various strategies and tackled the same prospects with different messages, keeping them fresh.

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

Belkins are true experts in what they do, although I would like to see more expansive databases used as alternative contact searching options if needed.

I'm a Field Sales Operations Specialist at iDeals. The company was founded in 2008. Since then, thousands of clients have used our virtual data room (VDR) to store and share sensitive documents when making critical business transactions like M&A.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Belkins?

We've hired Belkins in the past to schedule the appointments with our leads, but this year we needed to boost our lead generation.

SOLUTION

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

Several years ago, we contacted Belkins to book meetings with our high-quality leads. So, this time, when we needed to fill our pipeline with leads, we had no doubts about which company to choose.

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

We gave Belkins several criteria that our leads should meet. We specified the location, companies, and job titles to target. It was critical to get the phones of local decision-makers skipping people from the black list our sales reps created. So, Belkins had to work hard on crafting the ideal customer profile and consider all the details while researching leads. Sometimes, they had to search in Chinese and Spanish, which involved additional translations. So, even though this time we didn't ask them for scheduling meetings, there was a great piece of work Belkins had to do for us.

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

Our point of contact was an account manager and sales rep with whom we regularly communicated. They were really attentive, responsive, and helpful.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve contracted Belkins to generate 5,000 qualified contacts for us. They have managed to get the job done in about 2 months which is a great result taking into consideration the complexity of the research.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Belkins were really cooperative and engaged. They constantly shared how things went on and informed us about the success of various approaches to the lead-research process. I liked this transparency a lot, and it helped our team get a complete picture of every lead and synchronize the efforts to engage each prospect.

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

They were tech-driven, always full of ideas, and ready to test various approaches. Plenty of relevant statistics, analysis, and advanced tools help this team stay super effective. Probably, the most crucial Belkins advantage is how well they use technology in their work. Their people masterfully use all their tools and provide us with relevant leads.

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

None.
