Belkins

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm responsible for our Business Development efforts, particularly around strategic partnerships and new business. Our technology offers an interesting and unique authentication experience for mobility operators to seamlessly identify and authenticate riders.

For what projects/services did your company hire Belkins?

The proximity solutions market is every changing, and due to COVID-19, the need for contactless authentication has been growing. We hired Belkins' services to get ahead of this trend, and identify key decision makers within the transportation, mobility, and rideshare sector who could greatly benefit from our services.

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

We considered multiple lead generation companies for our efforts. Ultimately, Belkins' business model and reporting analysis were key to us. We are fortunate that the Belkins team (Olha and Lera) work diligently on our behalf to schedule appointments, provide clear follow-up to clients, and communicate effectively to us. Additionally, as we report internally, we are able to provide Belkins' findings in a clear and easy to understand manner.

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

Belkins is responsible for assisting in our lead generation efforts across the mobility space. This included content creation, prospect/ lead management, and appointment setting. The team started with a specific geographic region and expanded outwards once their original list had been exhausted.

We interact closely with 2 individuals, both of which are account managers.

We have weekly Zoom meetings where the Belkins team updates us on the status of their campaigns, and provides real-time comments on what is / isn't working from their perspective. They communicate effectively with us on a regular basis and provide thorough details when scheduling meetings on our behalf.

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

We're impressed with their willingness to do a lot of the behind-the-scenes work for us. Often times, getting a foot in the door and a meeting on the calendar is the most difficult part of the sales process. Belkins has allowed us not to worry about that and focus on additional business priorities.

No

As expected, the Belkins studied our company and highlighted our strong sides. They also put a lot of attention on our ideal client profile.

Kwali is is a tech startup that provides computer vision for food

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

We hired Belkins as they offered Appointment Setting services. We were quoting several companies in the market as we knew our topic was not easy. We needed to get appointments for a specific range of restaurant owners and we warned them it was complicated. They insisted they could do it.

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

We knew our campaign was not easy. We interviewed many vendors and Belkins promoted a proprietary technology that makes them have better data and better conversion rates. Mostly they insisted verbally that they were more than capable of delivering on our campaign, though other vendors related to the difficulties I mentioned.

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

Belkins asked us to complete a detail form of our Target customers and Buying Personae. After that we went through some basic email templates to start emailing.

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

I don't have a full clarity on this, I had contact with mostly 2 team members

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

We were offered 15 meetings over a 3 month period. However we barely got 5 overall. After the first month and a half they ran out of target customers and started sending emails to any kind of prospects that were not our target, of course they could not book any meetings that way.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was ok, I would have expected to actually get better visibility/decision on who they decided to send emails to.

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

Nothing unique, just another outbound marketing company over promising

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

They should have come forward to us with the fact they could not complete the campaign as initially agreed upon. Instead they pretended everything was ok while sending emails to non-target audience and not booking any more meetings, just to make us pay the full price of the contract. Very questionable work ethics.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I work with communications, strategies, and complex creative campaigns.

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

Our agency is already quite successful. But, of course, we always look for something to improve to get to the high-level performance. We didn't get enough email engagement. So we decided to work with Belkins to optimize our email marketing strategy.

I’m Content Marketing Manager.

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

We needed to speed up our sales cycle. In addition, our company required optimization of the lead generation process. We couldn't have done it on our own since our sales and marketing departments were working on their tasks full-time, so we contacted Belkins.

We just found Belkins in the list of the best lead generation agencies. After comparing reviews and prices, we decided that this company is a great option for us.

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.
