Please describe your company and your position there.

We are a young startup with a unique product. Through our artificial intelligence platform, we provide detailed data transparency across IT spend and create analytical reports and insights for our clients. I am the Chief Business Development Officer for our organization.

For what projects/services did your company hire Belkins?

We decided to work with Belkins to help us test the market in alternate industries to drive meaningful conversations.

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

Our company was looking for a marketing agency that would allow us to test our messaging and evolve into new markets; we started from scratch to explore which company could give us the best results. After reading the reviews and learning more about Belkins, we decided to choose them.

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

We originated in Healthcare so we started there. As we progressed in the engagement, we expanded to additional areas to assess how the solution and message resonated across different markets. Among them are Financial Services, Management Consulting, Government Administration, Computer Software, Consumer Goods, Retail, Higher Education, IT, etc. Every week, there we held “so-called” brainstorming sessions allowing us to tweak our messaging and approaches based on feedback after the calls. The Belkins team utilized advanced analytics to determine what titles and industries are the most responsive.

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

We worked with a dedicated SDR, an account manager, and a researcher.

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

We were able to fine tune what approach would be the best for us. Through our weekly brainstorming sessions we were also able to narrow down our research to book more calls with prospective clients.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It was a pleasure for us to work with the team from Belkins. We quickly found a common language. In addition, we constantly kept in touch in Slack and felt supported throughout the entire workflow. Our Belkins team was highly responsive and open to suggestions that we jointly arrived upon to evolve the project.

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

I liked the perseverance and the desire to get the best result demonstrated by our Belkins team. This was demonstrated over and over again through the cooperation with the Belkins team.

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

Our experience with Belkins was great. Not only was the team highly professional, but they've also made the project fun. We are ready to turn to Belkins services again in the future.

NRM is a video, photo, and motion graphic proscution company and I am the CEO.

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

We hired Belkins to assist with our cold email marketing program as we wanted to bring in more business that wasn't referral based.

They did so well I ended up having to stop the services as my company had too much work brought in by their services. Never thought I'd have the problem of having too much business.

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

They were highly referred by a vendor partner of ours.

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

We started with a discover phase where we went over different campaigns ideas and language in used in the emails. From there we slowly rolled out the email campaigns and tested them to see what was working and what needs to be changed.

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

I worked with a few people throughout the few months we contracted belkins.

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

Again, Belkins did so well I ended up having to stop the services as my company had too much work brought in by their services. Never thought I'd have the problem of having too much business.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Communication was great. Our weekly calls were very informative.

Their level of professionalism and pro-activity. They always had a plan B and they were always happy to make changes to dial our messaging in.

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

We hired Belkins to find businesses that needed our design. Our target audience is pretty diverse: from news portals to famous TV channels, banks, art supplies brands, etc. So, we needed to approach our outreach professionally.

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

We found Belkins by interviewing a few companies that did similar work and chose them because they seemed to get what we needed, and their price was reasonable. This was our first foray into hiring other folks to help us reach new business, and we are glad that we went fishing with Belkins.

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

Belkins was doing many tasks at the same time. They researched high-quality leads, sent emails, did the follow-ups, set appointments, and then started all over again. They tested and tried, so we got great results. And they also showed us how to do it ourselves, which was really helpful.

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

Two people from Belkins worked with us: an SDR and an Account Manager. But they were as productive as a team of five!

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

For several weeks of work, we got many potential clients, and they were glad to find us. Belkins tactics worked perfectly, and the experts managed to arrange meetings with big companies for us. But what's even more important is that they didn't leave us with the "fish"; they taught us fishing instead.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

We liked Belkins from the first few minutes. So, our communication was effective, and I think we all enjoyed this project. I'd call their approach to search for clients creative, and this was what my team loved too.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company

I appreciate how persistent and data-driven they are. And Belkins reps are real experts in what they do. They work, and work, and work – with smiles on their faces, so I always know they have a plan. What’s also great, they managed to tune in to our tone of voice, which must have been quite challenging, and convey it to our potential customers.

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

No. Belkins got what we needed and did a whole lot to get us in some solid meetings.

We are a brand marketing agency. We specialize in the marketing of Consumer Package Goods, such as food, beverages, and anything you can find in the grocery store.

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

We’ve been a TOP promotion agency in the U.S. for over nine years. It was essential for us to find more potential customers ready to use our services to ensure steady growth in the rapidly changing circumstances. That was the primary goal of our cooperation with Belkins.

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

Now, there are lots of agencies online, and it is insanely difficult to choose one. We studied reviews for a long time, compared pricing policy, and consulted with colleagues. In the end, we chose Belkins and did not regret it.

Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package, including any calling tools used.

In the beginning, the development of our business was quite slow. For a couple of months, we had only 8-9 meetings. We realized that something needs to be changed/improved at that stage. We started trying various approaches and testing lots of templates. As a result, we have found a sweet spot. It turned out to be referral templates with a deck that we attach before calling a potential client. Before this, we had also tried various approaches like a partnership/F2F/targeting Fortune 500 companies. But all this was mostly in vain: it did not give such a cool result as our current approach.

Who did you work with and what was the feedback process like?

We worked with an Account Manager and Sales Development Representative.

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

As I said earlier, we tested several approaches until we found a suitable and working one. Thanks to the current strategy from Belkins, we scheduled 52 meetings in about five months.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

The workflow was smooth; the communication was friendly and straightforward. We found a common language and worked hard - everyone was result-driven! In addition, we always stayed in touch, consulted with each other, and shared new ideas.

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

It's been cool to see how productive Belkins is. We're amazed that they managed to organize many meetings for us. And we were even more pleased that the appointments were promising, resulting in long-term cooperation with some prospects and increasing profit.

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

To my mind, there were no disadvantages to our cooperation with Belkins. Everything was great from the very beginning till the end, and our company is very satisfied with the result.

Their process is email-only. They may want to consider other channels like LInkedIn or phone.

We worked with several team members at Belkins working out sales prospecting strategies, email sequences, and lead qualification.
