Belkins

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am in charge of marketing for Talkatoo. We provided dictation software tools for veterinarians.

For what projects/services did your company hire Belkins?

We are operating in a fairly narrow niche. Therefore, it was important for us to identify our target audience, find as many prospects as possible, and book calls. We wanted to find clinics and veterinarians ready to use our service.

How did you select this vendor?

We tried to promote ourselves on our own, but the process was very slow. Then we realized that we were ready to cooperate with a marketing agency because our in-house team couldn’t cope with this huge amount of work. And then, my colleague advised Belkins. We looked through the reviews, quickly clarified all the details, and started working together.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

Our product is one-of-a-kind, but the Belkins team wasn’t afraid to take the responsibility and promised us that the process would go smoothly after conducting research.

First of all, they identified the target audience and tested a few approaches. The team started checking our service’s ideal customers - the guys wrote to veterinarians and offered our tool.

At first, they turned out to be too busy with documentation and treatment of animals to reply to the emails. Then, the Belkins team created new templates for administrative positions in clinics. After that, the results immediately improved because practice managers had more time to check the emails and noticed our offer.

So they used both approaches and finally got exceptional results. They booked 40 appointments in 5 months. Every week, we have 2-5 meetings. We think the result is outstanding.

What was the team composition?

We worked with an account manager and an SDR.

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

What I liked the most was that Belkins brought us real clients. After these meetings, we began successfully closing the deals.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The whole team that worked with us was polite and friendly. They took our ideas and suggestions into consideration and understood us. We found a common language quickly, and the workflow went very well.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I liked the fact that we were able to always keep in touch with Belkins, consult and share the ideas. It made our work better. I also want to note the fact that we were able to find the right approach and achieve great results, even though we have a very narrow field of work. This impressed us a lot.

Is there any area for improvement or anything that could have been done differently?

Probably, there is always something to strive for. But I can say without any doubt that the Belkins team has perfectly coordinated the work, and the guys are real experts in their niche.

For what projects/services did your company hire Belkins?

We were looking to increase our email engagement rates, particularly for replies and appointment setting (with qualified leads), to ultimately convert more leads. As a startup, we’re always looking for efficient methods to scale our business. Belkin was a natural fit as a partner, as they specialize in helping cross-vertical brands engage with their target demographics. They leverage a proven process that enhances brand messaging in a very relevant, tangible way.

How did you select this vendor?

After a considerable amount of research, we went with Belkins after finding them on G2. We added them to a short list of possible vendors we’d like partner with. We initiated a meeting with them to have an open conversation about our needs and gauge how they could help us scale over the coming year. After meeting with several vendors, Belkins was our top choice. We valued their multipronged approach over other vendors who limited their efforts to cold calling.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

Belkins has a very thorough onboarding process that allows them to immediately familiarize themselves with your company. This onboarding process informed them when identifying new segments for us to target, developing our awareness campaign, crafting personalized email collateral, establishing workflows for appointment setting, and driving intent to purchase with prospects. This approach was incorporated into the three campaigns we did with them.

What was the team composition?

We worked with an SDR team lead, a sales representative, and a research team lead.

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

By the end of our initial term with Belkins, they had fully optimized our campaigns and were consistently meeting or exceeding our monthly KPIs. As a result, we’ve continued to work with them, and they’ve continued to consistently deliver against our expectations.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Our engagement with Belkins is cross-department. We have weekly meetings where we track results, review upcoming campaign collateral, and discuss opportunities to enhance our in-market strategy. They are always transparent and willing to collaborate. The Belkins team was also able to onboard quickly thanks to our existing business vertical (and related) messaging, which helped expedite their in-market efforts.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

We were impressed with their ability to adapt to our vertical, stay nimble, respond to our needs, drive results consistently, and improve our appointment setting.

Is there any area for improvement or anything that could have been done differently?

As mentioned, Belkins is adaptable and nimble. Their agility helped us optimize our campaigns to where they are now.

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

In order to grow rapidly, we needed to introduce our video services to different niches, various entities, and companies. We wanted to expand our target audience and enter new markets.

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

Cold emailing works pretty well, but we wanted to scale up, move on, and enter more markets. We feel that none of the existing vendors could meet the level of growth that we were looking for; they just don’t have the capabilities to do it. In fact, one of the vendors that we were considering to hire referred us to Belkins. We did our own research on their experience, had an initial conversation with their sales team, and realized the potential for what was possible with the Belkins assistance.

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

We were in need to increase our marketing channels and personalize the sales process to get more leads. We can persuade the prospects that our product is very profitable and brings great ROI, but for this, we needed more appointments. That was exactly the task we hired the Belkins team for. They should book meetings with interested clients for us.

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

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

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

With the help of Belkins, we managed to get lots of meetings. However, most importantly, we were able to build long-term partnerships based on trust with our clients, which is a great opportunity for us to grow our business.

The biggest difference with Belkins is that they were able to consistently provide us with a lot of meetings. That made our sales process predictable, and we got an opportunity to have initial conversations with so many clients in a lot of different industries.

I believe they are experts at what they are doing, so we trusted them, and we're not wrong. they provided us with lots of appointments.

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

We found Belkins via LinkedIn and contacted them immediately to ask whether they could get that number of calls in a month that we required. They confidently replied that they were ready to assist and could help us meet our goals.

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

Our organization ran two campaigns with Belkins. For one of the campaigns during a three-month pilot project, they delivered 40 calls, which was higher than the original commitment requested and surpassed our expectations. The Belkins team targeted different workforce development organizations and were able to identify and book calls with some of these agencies. Belkins experts helped us get our foot in the door with these new potential leads. Their email campaigns also helped boost brand awareness for the company. Our second campaign was also a success. We had recently launched a new program, and the purpose of our email campaign was to engage early-bird pilot partners.

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.

For what projects/services did your company hire Belkins?

Like any company, we want to develop and attract new customers. In addition, it was important for us to define a clear strategy for our work and speed up the sales cycle. That was our target in cooperating with the Belkins team.

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

We chose a few that we liked the most among many marketing agencies. The next step was to interview these teams. Belkins caught our attention due to its excellent testimonials, so we chose this Lead Generation Company.

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

First of all, Belkins learned all the available materials about our business. Working with this Lead Generation Company, we quickly made progress. We tested referral templates and F2F. We are currently in the re-engagement phase. In terms of industries, the greatest success has been in Higher Education, Financial Services, and Consulting. In addition, we are also testing new areas and expanding our business. We are satisfied!

We quickly worked well together, and I’m sure this also influenced the result. Having built mutual understanding, we are able to work efficiently and productively. In addition, we always had the opportunity to stay in touch with the guys from the Belkins team. It is very cool.

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

Sure thing, most of all, I appreciate exceptional results. But the process itself was no less cool and smooth. We are pleased to work with specialists from Belkins.

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

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.

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.

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.

We found them on Clutch among the world’s best lead generation agencies and picked them based on their proposed solutions. They combine result-oriented case studies and clear pricing.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

Belkins were tasked with generating high-quality leads and booking meetings. They tailored their prospecting and nurturing efforts to fit our ICP.

What was the team composition?

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

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

Initially, it took us some time to figure out how to work together so the start of the project was quite slow. However, after the Belkins team offered numerous approaches, a 3-month contract brought us 15 appointments, and the team hit our KPIs.

Overall, our partnership was a blast: Belkins learned our platform in detail, analyzed our ideal customer profile, and tailored email copy superbly. We are satisfied with the results and we keep working together.

Highly effective. I didn't get involved much in the process though. However, our team said there are no issues with the communication or workflow. Belkins are great communicators and always in touch.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I was impressed to see how diligently they researched leads and hand-curated them. All their suggestions were spot-on. And the conversion rate was unexpectedly high. I guess the fact that they own their own email deliverability product helps a lot.

Belkins’s outbound email campaigns produced awesome results.

Is there any area for improvement or anything that could have been done differently?

I loved their performance and flexibility. All concerns were addressed timely. So no further suggestions from me on this one.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their customer service is great. I needed further help and. even the owner had a meeting with us to help with things beyond his company's duties.

Is there any area for improvement or anything that could have been done differently?

I think I would like to have more input on prospects' emails throughout the initiative, not just at the beginning (though Im pretty sure I can ask for that). I would also like to have a bit more control of the meeting set up procedures.
