We hired Plus972 to help us create a web presence and help us provide a streamlined process for potential borrowers to apply for loans through our website.

What were your goals for this project?

Our proposal included the implementation of a web form with the following fields: • Name • Email • Contact • Borrower Name • Property Address • Loan Amount Requested • Type of Property • Brief Deal Summary When the form is filled and submitted by the user, you will receive an email notification with the lead. In addition to this, what I am suggesting is to send an email notification to the prospect with the brochure, but this step is optional. 1. One-pager website (Banner, About Us, Deals Completed, Lending Programs Available, Application Form), we will use Bluesky Development website as the base structure to save time and we are able to change colors, logos, and fonts so it looks different; 2. The application form will be a simple form with the First Name, Last Name, Email Address, and Phone Number. When a user fills the form you get the contact information on your email and the user receives the PDF (brochure) and email notification; This way you can follow-up for sales purposes.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP of investor relations at a private equity real estate group. Besides investor relations, I oversee marketing and sales.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Plus972?

As a new company, we needed a website to market a specific product, along with other foundational branding materials. We had to get everything up within a few days, which is faster than most companies are generally willing to work.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Reuben (CEO and Founder, Plus972) built and designed a WordPress website from scratch. He made logo materials; although he didn’t create our logo, he modified it to fit with our site design. He created written content describing what we do.

What is the team composition?

We primarily worked with Reuben.

How did you come to work with Plus972?

My company’s CEO and Reuben knew each other. We also talked with several other companies in our industry, and almost everyone recommended Reuben. We got a lot of glowing reviews from his peers.

How much have you invested with them?

The total cost was around $25,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project took place in August 2019.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The project just concluded, so we don’t have a lot of feedback yet, but my entire team is extremely pleased with the site. Everyone feels confident using the site to market our product, so it’s definitely accomplishing what we were hoping it would.

How did Plus972 perform from a project management standpoint?

Reuben was flexible in accommodating our tight timeline. Over one weekend, he helped us put together all of the materials we needed to start our sales campaign right away. Since it was such a short process, we didn’t have a lot of back-and-forths; we met once before we hired him, and his experience in real estate helped him to quickly understand what our needs were. Just 3–4 days later, he called to say he was done and ask us to look over his work.

Reuben was easy to get in touch with. We communicated via email and spoke on the phone once or twice. The entire process was simple and quick.

What did you find most impressive about them?

If any part of the project encompassed work that Reuben wasn’t specialized in, he brought in someone who was. He was able to find experts in just 3–4 days. Reuben definitely moved mountains for us, which is more than most clients can say about their branding agency.  

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, we’re totally satisfied.

Any advice for potential customers?

Reuben knows what he can and can’t do, so if you meet with him for fifteen minutes, he can tell you whether or not he’s the right person for your project. He will be honest if he’s not the right fit.

BACKGROUND

What were your goals for this project?

Our goals for the project were to reach a wider audience as well as enhance our company image to our existing customers

What was the team composition?

We have worked closely with Reuben, the owner of Plus972 who has lent his time and efforts to help us enhance our business

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our branding efforts have been very successful. The print and design work that was done for us, especially in promoting our new decorated pearls and faceted pearls had great reception and translated to sales. We continue to acquire new customers, many through social media in which we use the graphic design that was provided from Plus972.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow has been very good. We have had many meetings and follow meetings between our team and Reuben and his associates both in person and on the phone. We have ongoing projects that require constant communication and collaboration. Feedback response has been satisfactory and we continue to improve the working relationship.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The first thing that comes to mind is the personal touch of the owner and the attention to detail that can be counted on. Larger companies that we have used in the past have been slow to respond or unresponsive and underlings often did not take any accountability for projects. This is not the case with Plus972.

Are there any areas for improvement?

We value the quality of work and service given above all, which are areas where Plus972 has succeeded. Could things get done faster? Sure. But we are not willing to sacrifice either quality or service for those ends.
