Nerdy Joe was responsible for sending thousand of emails across dozens of domains in order to generate appointments for potential client discovery calls.

Email copy and cadences were all managed by Nerdy Joe in alignment with the key personas and geographies we were targeting.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We had a flood of inbound leads we are still trying to address despite our contract being over with Nerdy Joe. 

Dave and the team have always been available to talk and have expert insights into what might be required to tweak our campaigns for the best results.

We saw this success after their first round of tweaks and suggestions that lead to a constant stream of interested lead candidates.

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

Being always available for dicussion despite our time zone constraints, as well as constant monitoring of our campaigns was impressive. Most evident in the fact that the reminded me to follow up on a lead I missed in the sea of warm responses, showing their attention to detail in these campaigns.

David promised to book our team 60 qualified meetings over a 3 month period and couldn't produce a single meeting. It took them weeks to even write the marketing collateral and never provided any insight on the performance of deliverables. Whenever we had meetings to discuss the poor performance, David would continue to make faulty promises that were never backed up. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We were promised 60 qualified meetings and didn't receive a single qualified meetings. We only had 2 meetings throughout the entirety of the engagement over a 6+ month period and neither fit within our ICP. Meanwhile, our own internal marketing team easily books 4 meetings per day.

No, nothing was ever on time.

NerdyJoe was hired to execute cold outbound emails and cold calling to generate workable leads for our sales team, and ideally to get those cold leads directly scheduled onto our sales calendars. KPI's were leads forwarded to our team and appointments booked. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We were assured they would generate at least 375 workable leads or 75 booked appontments for us in our first quarter together. In the end, they sent 1 lead to our team - which was completely cold and never met with us. It was an absolute failure, and even though they didn't come remotely close to delivering what was promised, we were still on the hook for a three month term.

The owner who sold us on the package began ghosting and avoiding us rather than working to address their failure. It left us meeting with a revolving door of employees - we had 3 points of contact in 3 months because people kept leaving their company. 

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

Their project management seemed incredible poor. Each new point of contact we had made it sound like the failure of their campaign was because the previous employee did not structure things correctly. Nothing was ever delivered by them.

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

We found ourselves in a painful position where valuable sales opportunities were sitting unattended in our pipeline, and trying to recruit, train, and manage in-house sales representatives was proving to be a massive, expensive headache. Our main objective in bringing on David and his team was to find reliable sales professionals who could jump on our discovery and closing calls, build trust with our prospects, and turn those scheduled appointments into actual revenue. They took over our entire sales closing process from the moment a prospect selected a slot on our calendar. Their team handled the initial discovery conversations, mapped out our agency solutions to the prospects' needs, conducted the final closing calls, and managed the persistent follow-up process required to secure signed agreements. They worked closely with our internal team to understand our pricing and service models so they could handle objection handling seamlessly on our behalf.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The impact was felt immediately in our day-to-day operations because we finally had peace of mind knowing that our hard-earned leads were not going to waste. Instead of dealing with prospects who ghosted or appointments that went cold because we were too busy to follow up, their team turned those booked calls into paying clients. We saw a massive, steady improvement in our conversion rates and closed deals, which allowed us to comfortably scale our agency operations without expanding our own employee payroll.

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

Their communication and daily management were incredibly smooth and required very little oversight from our end. They documented detailed notes after every single sales call, followed up with prospects exactly when they promised, and kept us fully updated on the status of every deal in our pipeline. Whenever we launched a new service or needed to adjust our pricing structure, they adapted their sales approach immediately.

What was your primary form of communication with Nerdy Joe, Inc.?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

What stood out the most was how seamlessly they acted as an extension of our own team rather than just a third-party vendor. They speak with our prospects with immense professionalism and genuine product knowledge, ensuring that every interaction left a fantastic, high-end impression of our agency.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Nerdy Joe, Inc. could have done differently?

The initial onboarding took a few deep coordination sessions to get them completely aligned on our technical offerings and regional market dynamics. This is a natural part of outsourcing complex sales closing, but spending that initial time together was well worth the effort because of how effectively they were able to close deals for us afterward.

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

Our main bottleneck wasn't a lack of interest in our services, but rather the sheer operational friction of traditional outbound sales. We wanted to book high-value conversations with decision-makers at brand-side companies, but we couldn't afford to waste senior team time on flaky meetings, constant no-shows, or leads that simply weren't a fit. Additionally, as a creative agency, we are incredibly protective of our brand. We refused to use any "spray-and-pray" automation that would make us look like generic spammers. We hired Nerdy Joe to run a highly targeted, deeply personalized outreach campaign that would put us in front of qualified marketing executives who actually wanted to talk to us. Nerdy Joe managed our outbound cold email campaign end-to-end, including defining our ideal customer profile, building targeted prospect lists, writing personalized outreach, handling email infrastructure and deliverability, and managing prospect responses to schedule qualified discovery calls directly with our team. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The quality of the meetings they booked was night and day compared to other lead-gen vendors we’ve encountered. Instead of low-intent "tire-kickers," we were consistently put in touch with genuine decision-makers who had already read a personalized pitch and expressed real interest. Our show-up rate on these booked calls was over 80%, which completely eliminated the "no-show" bottleneck that usually drains an agency's sales team. Having highly warmed-up, relevant prospects land on our calendar allowed our team to focus purely on closing, making our sales pipeline significantly more predictable.

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

Their project management is incredibly low-maintenance and refreshingly transparent. They don’t hide behind vanity metrics or send over bloated reports filled with "open rates." They focus strictly on booked meetings and positive response rates. Communication was seamless via Slack, and whenever we needed to tweak our targeting parameters or adjust the messaging to fit a shifting campaign focus, they adapted immediately.

What was your primary form of communication with Nerdy Joe, Inc.?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Their absolute commitment to doing manual, deeply researched outreach was impressive. In a market flooded with agencies using AI to blast thousands of generic templates a day, Nerdy Joe’s approach is a rarity. The copy they wrote actually felt like it was penned by an agency peer who took the time to understand our business, which is exactly why it got such a high response rate from busy executives.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Nerdy Joe, Inc. could have done differently?

Because their process relies on meticulous manual research and building custom prospect profiles, the initial ramp-up phase takes a bit longer than agencies that just buy massive databases and hit send. It’s a completely necessary trade-off for the quality of the appointments they deliver, but anyone looking for instant, high-volume lists should adjust their timeline expectations accordingly.

Nerdy Joe took care of the full outbound stack: they built curated lead lists, created custom email sequences, ran A/B tests, managed inbox responses, booked meetings, and handled basic CRM updates. They also launched cold calling efforts in parallel to support the email campaigns, giving us broader coverage.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

In less than eight weeks, we saw a steady stream of warm leads coming in. Meeting bookings increased, response rates went up, and we closed two new clients that originated directly from their outreach. Their cold calls also opened doors we hadn’t been able to crack before.
