Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Over about an 8 month period I worked with the team at BS LLC to design and build a new website for my custom furniture business in Boston. It was a huge undertaking, and there’s no way I would have been able to understand the scope of the project, make design decisions, and manage the project, without the incredible guidance they provided. A website is a very personal matter.

It is arguably the most important sales tool for a business like mine, which relies on the majority of its sales to come from the internet. From day one they took the time to learn about my business and my goals, and to alleviate any fears I would have about the process. When we moved from discovery to design they put together a beautiful Figma file for me to review and the project started to get exciting.

They were incredibly diligent and patient throughout the process of reviewing and editing the Figma file, which is essentially the template for the website. Once the website was developed and in the editing stage, they worked hard to trouble shoot and tweak, and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. I would highly recommend working with them if you really care about the process and final outcome of your website.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The new website was the primary goal.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

At every step, they were quick to respond and did things on their promised timeline. Every time I had a question or needed an answer, they responded within 24 hrs.

No, they did a great job.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a manager at a machine shop specializing in precision shafts for the pump and motor industry.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with BS LLC?

We needed to implement a HubSpot CRM solution. We had trouble understanding our customers in regard to our quotation, follow-up, and sales processes.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

BS LLC implemented a HubSpot CRM solution. Initially, we went through our previous sales process to see how BS LLC could help us. We slowly started using this CRM platform, and BS LLC gave us access to online training so our employees could learn how to use the new platform. BS LLC also provided support as needed. 

What is the team composition?

I primarily worked with four teammates from BS LLC, including Maddy (Digital Analyst) and Sebastien (Managing Partner). Maddy was with whom I communicated most; she answered my questions and helped me understand the software’s capabilities.

How did you come to work with BS LLC?

I’m unsure how we initially contacted BS LLC since our partnership precedes my time at the company. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We engaged with BS LLC between January–March 2023.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

Our overall sales process has improved since we started using the HubSpot CRM solution that BS LLC implemented. Our follow-up process also improved since we now have all our customers’ information in one place. 

Overall, BS LLC’s work was excellent. They were supportive and helped me understand the platform enough to communicate its capabilities to my company for use and implementation.

How did BS LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

BS LLC’s project management was excellent, and they met deadlines. The project took longer than we expected, but it was because of our delays. Moreover, we had weekly Zoom meetings and shared a document to track the project’s tasks. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I was most impressed with BS LLC’s technical abilities. They listened to our company’s needs and improved our sales process. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything for BS LLC to improve — they did an excellent job. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I recommend to ask BS LLC a lot of questions about their work. There were some things we thought this solution could resolve, and it couldn’t. Make sure you understand the solutions BS LLC offers, and if you don’t understand them, ask questions. Put your project’s goals forward, so everybody understands how to reach them.

BACKGROUND

I’m the former president of the Literary Club of Cincinnati.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with BS LLC?

We needed help with our organization’s branding.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

BS LLC came to our club to sense the feel of the building, its color scheme, and its history; they spent an hour walking around the building, taking photographs, and asking questions to get the general vibe of the place. After that, they looked at the material we wanted to use to upgrade our public look branding-wise, including logos, color scheme, and digital and printed materials.

To jumpstart the process, they also had conversations with our president, VP, graphic designer, and other members to develop the materials we wanted to use at every step of the process.

What is the team composition?

We worked with three members of their team, including Ben (Partner) and Brooke (Client Experience).

How did you come to work with BS LLC?

Someone referred them to us.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Everybody has given positive feedback on the materials that BS LLC has provided so far.

How did BS LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve been fabulous with project management; they’re a cooperative team that can cope with our slow internal processes. BS LLC has an overall patient and timely approach.

Regarding tools and communication, we use Skype, Zoom, phone calls, and in-person meetings.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The quality of their work is exceptional. Also, we like how they adapt to our internal situations to make the most out of the process.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on — we’ve been pleased with their work.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Have face-to-face meetings with hands-on materials — that’ll make a top-notch connection between both parties.

I am co-owner of the short term rental property management business in Cincinnati. I am responsible for branding, customer service, and guest facing roles.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We wanted to create a modern and unique brand to stand out and as the go-to short term rental company in Cincinnati. We also needed a website that was modern & easy to use for our guests to book and property owners to reach out to us.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We looked at the BS portfolio for creative feel and also liked that they were local to us.

Describe the scope of their work in detail, including any steps and the final deliverables.

We started with a questionnaire, then went into branding, and finally web design & build with WordPress. We had some collateral related to the brand like business cards, social media posts, etc.

I received emails initially about timelines. Most of the communication was through email and sometimes meetings. I prefer to meet and work through during the meetings since I dedicate time set aside to discuss it.

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

They are still small enough to feel connected with what you want for your business. The quality of their work was good.

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

I would recommend better communication with timelines and what items were waiting on me (and don't be afraid to keep asking!)
