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

We hired Social Bloom to help generate sales-qualified leads (SQLs) for fall trade shows, specifically targeting companies in the robotics and automation space with larger booth footprints (20x20 and above). The key deliverables were scheduled meetings with SQLs.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Despite assurances during the sales process that leads would be well-vetted, targeted, and qualified according to our criteria, nearly every meeting booked was a complete mismatch—companies that didn’t exhibit at U.S. trade shows, had no budget, were winding down their event participation, or had tiny 10x10 spaces we don’t service. We had to sift through and decline lead after lead ourselves, which defeated the purpose of hiring them in the first place. We provided detailed target lists and show data. We were clear about the goals and standards. Still, the results were underwhelming, the process frustrating, and the return on investment nonexistent.

We ultimately had to request a refund for undelivered services and sever the relationship. Social Bloom may have good intentions, but their quality control, process discipline, and client communication fell far short of what they promised—and what any professional team should expect.

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

Worse, their communication and internal tracking were abysmal. No follow-up, no lead analysis, no updates on SQL progress. We had to chase them down just to get basic campaign metrics and ended up compiling the lead breakdown ourselves because no one from their team thought to ask how the meetings went or whether the leads were qualified. The post-sale experience felt completely unmonitored.

They claimed we had received 7 SQLs. By any objective measure, only 2 of those were valid. The rest were irrelevant. When we asked for transparency, we were met with vague justifications and shifting goalposts. Meanwhile, we burned through the most critical timing window of our sales cycle with almost nothing to show for it.

What was your primary form of communication with Social Bloom?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Nothing.

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

Would not recommend. Proceed with extreme caution, especially if your business depends on precision targeting and ROI-driven lead generation.

We hired Socialbloom to support our outbound email outreach efforts with the goal of generating high-quality leads and booked meetings for our digital agency. Their scope of work included identifying and scraping relevant leads based on our target audience, crafting personalized cold email sequences, and managing the outreach process end-to-end.

Key deliverables included:

A curated list of over 5000 qualified leads that fit our ICP (mainly founders and marketing leads in tech startups across Europe).
Creation and optimization of cold email copy tailored to our tone and offer.
Ongoing A/B testing of subject lines and CTAs to improve open and response rates.
Weekly reports detailing open rates, click-throughs, and booked meetings.
A dedicated account manager who regularly updated us on campaign performance and next steps.
 

Thanks to Socialbloom’s efforts, we were able to book a consistent stream of qualified meetings—often 5–8 per week—leading to strong conversations and new client opportunities.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Within the first month of working with Socialbloom, we saw a noticeable increase in outreach performance. Open rates averaged around 65%, with reply rates hovering between 12–15%. More importantly, we were consistently booking 5–8 qualified meetings per week with decision-makers that matched our ideal client profile.

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

Socialbloom’s project management was smooth and reliable throughout the engagement. They communicated clearly and consistently, with weekly updates on campaign performance, lead delivery, and next steps. All deliverables—including lead lists, email sequences, and performance reports—were shared on time, often even earlier than expected.

What was your primary form of communication with SocialBloom?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

What stood out the most about Socialbloom was their ability to balance speed with quality. Unlike other lead gen services we’ve tried, they didn’t just blast out generic emails—they actually took the time to understand our offer and built campaigns that felt personalized and strategic.

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

The overall experience was very positive, but if there’s one area for improvement, it would be more transparency around the lead sourcing process. While the leads were generally high quality, having more insight into how they were selected or filtered (e.g., specific criteria or tools used) would’ve helped us feel even more confident in the targeting.

Ongoing outbound email campaigns to create a pipeline of qualified leads. Social Bloom finds potential prospects to target with customized email campaigns. These prospects then become leads through Social Bloom's ongoing sales development efforts leading to a discovery call with the potential customer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our lead pipeline tripled from what it was previously with Social Bloom. Social Bloom gave us personal connections that we wouldn't have had the opportunity to pursue previously.

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

One reason we chose Social Bloom is from the very get-go they seemed to have a well thought out process with a strong team behind it. Never once did we feel that we had to manage the Social Bloom team. Instead they continued to come to us with solutions to our problems. They really have a solid product that is supported by a well-rounded and managed team.

What was your primary form of communication with SocialBloom?

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

There willingness to go the extra mile. When things weren't quite clicking with the email campaigns they would research and look at what might not be working or what tweaks needed to be made. They are thought leaders in the email marketing space.

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

Possibly being open to slightly more nurturing email campaigns rather than just straight sales could benefit Social Bloom. Our industry requires a bit of a longer game in sales and not always just an immediate sale from someone interested in our services.
