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

DealForce promised to land 8-10 qualified sales meetings a month. Well, they certainly landed meetings, but the bulk of these meetings the prospect was either A. Not Interested in the Product or B. Would say they were ready to start the sign up then disappear with no responses afterwards. The leads at best were either people with lukewarm interest or individuals who werent even sure what the product does. DealForce did not seem to communicate well with the prospects or understand our product enough to truly say what a qualified lead was. The leads sent our way were not qualified at all. One company didnt even want to talk about our product, just our previous contract work. When notified, DealForce refused to give a full refund and opted to give 50% of the payment back instead. After a few more calls with prospects who were clearly either A. Not really qualified or B. Not interested in buying, we called it quits. It seems like these prospects are being granted something in  return for meeting with companies paying DealForce, which in itself shows that there is no true interest in solving a pain point. I would not recommend.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Qualified leads, which none of them were.

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

We often had to send multiple emails to get any sort of response

What was your primary form of communication with DealForce?

Email or Messaging App

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

Nothing

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

Actually focus on what your client is trying to sell and send qualified leads that are interested in the product. Do not just send leads for the sake of filling up a calendar and lining your pockets

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

Yes, they were able to setup meetings.
We paid and tried for about 90 days.
We were able to book 4-5 meetings in 90 days, however, the last meeting gave us pause.
The person on the other side said they were paid to attend and not sure why they were meeting with us.
We then realized non of the previous meetings were following up, answering our emails or phone calls.
Then we figured out this was a scam and they were hiring paid actors to attend these "b2b" meetings.

The pay for performance is nice as it shows they are confident.

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

They should really do b2b lead gen instead of paying actors and falsifying their performance.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a career coach who works with individuals and companies, offering career coaching services. I coach people who want to make a career change or get to the next level of their career and don’t know how, and I offer several programs to do that.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with DealForce?

I needed help with creating a pipeline for appointments.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

DealForce helps me with appointment scheduling and lead generation. Initially, they met with me, set me up as their client, and learned about my business. I also provided them with my website and marketing materials. Since then, they’ve found and created a list of potential clients who might be interested in having a call with me and learning more about my services. Their team has also created the scripts for their outreach efforts.

What is the team composition?

I work exclusively with one person from DealForce. Initially, I also had a phone call with one of their leadership team members.

How did you come to work with DealForce?

They reached out to me via LinkedIn. After learning more about their company, I agreed to have a phone call with them. I ultimately decided to work with them because I really liked their approach. With them, the leads they find need to set an appointment and attend it before paying anything, which is a very reputable way to approach the project. It also helps me manage my costs very easily.

How much have you invested with them?

I’ve spent around $1,500.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in September 2022, and our engagement is ongoing. It took them about a week to set me up in their system, after which I started seeing appointments.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I started working with DealForce less than a month ago, and they’ve already scheduled 11 calls on my calendar. Out of those, I’ve completed six successful calls. The leads that they send me are the exact people I want to talk to — CTOs, VPs of sales, heads of marketing, and founders. For example, I talked with a co-founder the other day who wants to do something within their entire business, which is great.

How did DealForce perform from a project management standpoint?

DealForce is very responsive and easy to get a hold of. Our first meeting was virtual, and we now communicate via email. Whenever I send them an email, I get a response immediately. Overall, it has been a very good working relationship.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’ve been surprised at how targeted the appointments that DealForce sets are, as well as at the high quality of the people I get to talk to. I worked with other appointment-setting companies in the past and felt that I wasn’t talking with the right people. Moreover, DealForce’s prices are very competitive.

Are there any areas they could improve?

It is a little hard to reschedule with interested leads who might need it because my main contact point from DealForce is also a part of that process. It would be great if they could figure out a smoother way to reschedule meetings.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Meet with them, ask questions, and give them the information they need. Additionally, keep constant communication with them throughout the project and be very open so that they continue to do a good job for you.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the managing partner at a digital marketing agency specializing in SEO, paid search, conversion rate optimization, and social media marketing, among other activities. We also do design and development.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with DealForce?

We hired them to generate sales-qualified leads (SQLs).

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

DealForce provides lead generation services for us. They help us market to e-commerce businesses looking for a digital marketing agency to promote their companies. 

First, DealForce provided a form through a website wizard for us to fill out. We identified the type of company we wanted to speak with, and from there, they’ve generated a list and now market to them. They’ve also created the messaging and script for the outreach. 

What is the team composition?

Leah (Sales Manager) is our main point of contact, and I work with one more teammate from DealForce. 

How did you come to work with DealForce?

We found them through a referral by one of their other clients to whom I outsource some of my work. I liked DealForce’s per-lead fee, which made the most sense because I’ve tried other sales companies with retainer fees that haven’t worked out very well. Since we only had to spend money with DealForce when they generated a lead, it made sense to work with them. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $6,400.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in July 2022, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

DealForce has done a fantastic job. They’ve generated 23 SQLs for us; five are active, and one of them closed a deal with us for $200,000 in yearly revenue. Since Dealforce works on a per-lead basis, we don’t pay them unless they generate a lead, which has been fantastic.

Moreover, their website wizard is very simple; it took me about 15 minutes to fill out and submit. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to fill out. Overall, they’re fantastic. I’ve owned companies for 25 years and had never worked with such a good service provider — I’d recommend them to anybody. 

How did DealForce perform from a project management standpoint?

They deliver items on time, respond to our needs, and stay within the budget. We communicate via email. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

DealForce’s pay-per-performance model is unique. Moreover, their ability to target the right leads is amazing; even though a lot of their leads haven’t gone anywhere, they were still good leads. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think they could do anything better; we’re 100% satisfied. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Fill out the form DealForce takes you through, then get out of their way and wait for the leads to come in. Before you engage with them, ensure that you’re already successful at closing leads. You must have a good sales process to close business with the leads they send you.

We needed help generating extra leads.

We haven't received anything from DealForce. The only email we've received from them is the one notifying us that they're going to bill us again.

How did DealForce perform from a project management standpoint?

They didn't deliver anything at all. We use virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive or unique about them?

I'm at a 100% failure rate with them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could have communicated with us and produced results.
