Social Bloom

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the chief revenue officer at TALENYA. We're an AI talent sourcing company to find candidates for companies so that they can improve their recruiting processes and hire more diverse candidates.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SocialBloom?

We needed help with our email processing.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We used SocialBloom to help us bootstrap our FCR emailing process; they created two series and six emails for us. They also set up a domain for us to do the emailing from and automated the email-sending processes.

To start the process, we had onboarding calls to figure out the ITP, what market we were going after, and which buyers we were targeting — we got them up to speed on our business so they could do their work. We also talked through how we’d manage the relationship in an ongoing fashion, ensured that we had the right points of contact, and had a process for handing off leads that came in through SocialBloom to our sales team.

What is the team composition?

I was in contact with around 3–4 members of their team, including an account manager who brought us in and a couple of others folks.

How did you come to work with SocialBloom?

I contacted them through their outreach.

How much have you invested with them?

 We spent $12,000 with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from February–April 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

It was very time-saving for us that we didn't have to do the domain and the emails ourselves — that alone justified the investment. Additionally, we brought in about 25 leads, and half of those would be meetings, and the other half were ones to follow up.

How did SocialBloom perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management was very solid. Regarding tools, we worked mostly using Google Sheets and Slack. Overall, they were responsive.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re easy to work with and knowledgeable of the space and the technology. They also followed through on what they said they were going to do.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could have more clarity in explaining the results we could expect and what we need to improve.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Know your ideal customer profile and what the compelling events in their journeys are. They can help you scale your market if you can do that.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I the CEO of an technology services firm. We assist medium and large businesses build, operate and manage digital commerce systems and infrastructure

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We have engaged SocialBloom since early 2021 to generate market awareness of our company, Cloudcafe, Inc, its services through conversations with senior executives and decision makers. SocialBloom collaborated with our marketing team to design, build and execute a comprehensive outbound email marketing campaign to a targeted audience across US & Canada.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

SocialBloom was one of the 4 respondents to our job posting for lead generation on Upwork. After discussing our requirements and evaluating the proposal of the 4 agencies SocialBloom stood out as a team of professionals we could collaborate with because of their experience in appointment setting using email campaigns, proposed approach, transparency, flexibility and cost

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used.

First we went through a discovery phase where our business goals were discussed and our value propositions were identified. SocialBloom team then developed a drip campaign strategy along with the content for email sequences. SocialBloom used very specialized set of tools for this form of campaign. We have been using Slack for project management and team communication

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We have worked with an Account Manager, an email campaign manager. To track the performance of the campaign SocialBloom has given us access to near real time dashboard

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

We started off with a blank slate and SocialBloom's experience helped us shape the message and conduct an informal A/B test to determine audience response. All the performance metrics have been trending in a positive direction including open rate and click through rate. Our most important criteria has been customer response to our email and appointment setting.

Since our campaign started in Dec 2021, we have had a atleast one prospect per week responding. Since its still early in the process and we are in enterprise B2B market with an AOV in 5 figures, trends are more important than actual number at this point. However our goal is to have an average of 3-4 appointments per week over the next 12 weeks.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We use Slack for all our communications and its pretty quick and easy

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

The most impressive quality of the team is their ability to take technical jargon and convert them into a business friendly email copy. They are honest and transparent about what's working and what's not. We have come to trust them.

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

We would like them to integrate with our Hubspot CRM

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the owner of a video production company. Our customers were happy with our work but we had a problem with customer retention. Our marketing was mostly passive: website inquiries and word of mouth.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire SocialBloom?

We wanted to set up an email marketing strategy to stay in touch with our customers, and to actively reach out to acquire new clients. We did not want our emails to look like advertising, but as personal emails to the recipients. Caleb and his team were very knowledgeable and set up a powerful email platform for us.

The sending schedule is throttled so that the emails are actually delivered and not flagged as spam and timed to bring in results. There's an art to successful email campaigns, and Caleb is an expert at it. The open and response rates are very high and we are very happy with the results. Caleb truly understands our business and our objectives. We have several campaigns in the queue and rely on Caleb to pull in the inquiries.

SOLUTION

How did you select this firm and what were the deciding factors?

We considered a number of email marketing firms. The deciding factor was when Caleb (the owner) said that mass email campaigns simply don't work.

Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package.

Social Bloom offers a start-to-finish email marketing service which includes setting up the emailing platform, copywriting, scheduling, timed launch and responding to inquiries. In our situation, we did not need all of the services. Social Bloom customized the service to fit our needs and budget.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

One main contact and two support staff members who report to us on the progress and outcome of the ongoing campaigns.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We had a high number of positive responses, but the biggest success is that we now have a way to communicate and stay engaged with the customers.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow has been seamless. We communicate on Slack and Social Bloom has been proactive in keeping the work moving forward.

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

They were very flexible and understanding to develop a customized program that works to meet our specific needs.

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

No, I can't think of anything they could have done differently. It's par for the course to take some time in the beginning to get to know each other's procedures and style and that period was actually pretty short.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the CEO of a contract management platform that helps our clients save time, save money, and reduce risk.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire SocialBloom?

We have tried in-house marketing efforts in the past without great success. We hired SocialBloom as an extension of our team to handle all marketing efforts.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Completed a series of interviews after researching organizations that were suited to best support our marketing efforts.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

We started with a simple strategy to get our marketing efforts moving forward. From there, we have continued to add additional marketing projects to drive more lead generation.

What was the team composition?

We are small company with a marketing team of one. We worked directly with the SocialBloom team to create strategy and execution plans.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We are seeing a steady increase in leads now that our efforts have had some time to penetrate our targeted markets and review/improve upon our content.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We have a weekly meeting to keep each other on task. Very straight forward metric tracking and activity assignments.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

SocialBloom (Caleb) has been a great partner from day one. Their service includes a lot of listening to what we are trying to accomplish and willingness to try new ideas. Caleb has been a very responsive partner.

Is there any area for improvement or anything that could have been done differently?

We did not have a clear marketing strategy/plan when we first engaged. It took some time to agree upon initial steps and the plan of action to achieve the intended results.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the owner of a music mixing company.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

Social Bloom pretty much handled all our outbound outreach. They focused on certain VR studios and simulation companies, created the prospect list, and handled the email sequence each day. When there was engagement from a prospect, they scheduled a qualified appointment right into my Google calendar.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

This makes my entire pipeline full. So now I am getting enterprise hardware demos each and every month and hence can focus on product development without worrying about anything else.

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

They were very quick to react. Within the first week we realized that the emails they had written for us sounded too much like regular SaaS marketing campaigns. We had a brief meeting and stopped their campaign, rewriting all emails in conjunction.

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?

The way they handled the entire chaotic sales side of things was impressive. I just have to wake up, refer to my calendar and conduct the demos.

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

Selling niche hardware can be complicated. They should not have figured out our customer profile to start with. If only they had got their messaging exactly right from the beginning, we would not have lost a whole week to testing.

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

Social Bloom provided a vast outbound calling campaign consisting of four projects. These included reaching out to about 1,500 companies and over 30,000 contacts in the B2B e-commerce, digital, and other industries. All calls were made by their SDRs and rotation was constantly performed. The script was adjusted several times as it was difficult to get connected to a decision-maker. Main deliverables involved managing the technology stack (Orum and Clay, in particular), booking qualified meetings, and attending the virtual event.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The measurement of results was simple. As their data enrichment improved connection rates by 50% as compared to our internal team. They overbooked our online event and arranged quality meetings in various sectors and seniority levels.

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

The project management was highly proactive. The team including Denny, Juan, Andrew, and Jair were highly responsive and constantly made changes to improve the results. For instance, our project list required around 2-3 weeks of testing until we started getting more meetings.

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?

Their proactive partnership was impressive. Many vendors require that they own your entire go-to-market motion for them to work with you. Social Bloom was ready to adapt to our very unique project requirements and be an extension of our team.

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

Due to the software that they use for parallel dialing, it was difficult for me to get exact contact and account coverage. I knew the total number of dials and contacts, but I was not able to figure out whether a particular account had been dialed 10 or 100 times. More detailed reporting would have allowed me to make more statistical inferences.

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

Social Bloom first engaged in cold calling of our contacts from the world of wealth management using pre-established messages and contact lists. In addition to this, after the first month, they have implemented a full-scale email outreach campaign, as well as LinkedIn outreach campaign to complement the calls. Also, the team offered their suggestions concerning our message, website and social media pages.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The main change that we noticed is our ability to engage prospective clients. Previously we had very poor results, but we were pleasantly surprised to see that Social Bloom was able to arrange three to four meetings per week for us.

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

Our communication has been quite effective and clear. There has been a separate chat line arranged by Social Bloom where it was easier for us to contact and interact with our team about any queries or feedback. We also have regular phone calls twice a week in which we discuss our messaging strategy and get some suggestion regarding our website and social media pages.

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?

Our team is quite professional, proactive and helpful too. It feels good that such a team will be representing our business in discussion with our prospects.

The combination of cold calling, email, and LinkedIn messaging has been resulting in meetings three to four times a week, and still developing. It is nice that there have been updates, great reporting, and even discussion on the messaging.

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

No specific ideas come to mind at this stage. Our collaboration has been productive and the team has been accommodating our needs.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Social Bloom to accomplish?

• We wanted to strengthen our sales outreach and generate more qualified opportunities without having to build and manage a larger in-house sales team. Our main challenge was finding a reliable partner who could handle prospecting, outreach, and follow-up professionally while helping us reach the right potential clients.  Social Bloom supported us with our sales and social media efforts, focusing on generating qualified leads and creating more opportunities for our property business.

 Social Bloom provided a focused team with expertise across sales, lead generation, social media, and client outreach.

Over time, communication became more streamlined, and we gained greater confidence in their ability to represent our company and support our sales efforts. We’ve seen a clear improvement in the quality and consistency of our sales opportunities since working with Social Bloom. Their efforts have helped us reach more relevant prospects, generate more qualified enquiries, and maintain a stronger sales pipeline. We’ve also seen better engagement from potential clients and more meaningful conversations that have progressed into genuine property opportunities. Overall, the engagement has made our sales process more consistent and measurable. Their team performed very well from a project management perspective. Communication was clear and consistent, and they were responsive whenever we had questions or needed adjustments. They kept us informed about progress, followed through on agreed activities, and were proactive in suggesting improvements. Overall, the team was organized, reliable, and easy to work with throughout the engagement.

 How did their team perform from a project management standpoint?

Their responsiveness, consistency, and understanding of our goals made the collaboration particularly valuable.

In what ways can they improve?

There were no major issues with the engagement. As with any ongoing sales partnership, there is always room to refine strategies and adapt to changes in the market. We would like to see continued testing and optimization as we scale, but overall, we’ve been very satisfied with Social Bloom’s performance and support.

 We came across Social Bloom while looking for a partner that could help us improve our sales outreach and generate more qualified opportunities. Their approach to sales and client acquisition stood out to us, and after discussing our goals with their team, we felt they understood what we were trying to achieve and could provide the right support.

What advice do you have for clients with similar needs to yours?

I would definitely recommend Social Bloom to businesses looking to strengthen their sales outreach and generate new opportunities. They are professional, responsive, and easy to work with, and they take the time to understand your business before getting started. If you’re considering working with Social Bloom, I would recommend being clear about your sales goals and target audience from the beginning. They are proactive, responsive, and genuinely focused on helping generate business opportunities. Give the team the information they need about your market and objectives, stay open to their recommendations, and allow the strategy time to develop. Based on our experience, they are a reliable partner for businesses looking to strengthen their sales efforts.

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

The scope of work was centered around social media marketing and management, including developing and executing content, improving our social media presence, increasing engagement and brand awareness, and generating business opportunities through social media. Based on our discussions, we expected a structured strategy, consistent content and campaign execution, professional communication, and measurable results. However, after becoming a paying client, our experience did not match the expectations and level of service that had been presented to us during the initial discussions. The biggest issue was the gap between what was promised during the sales process and what was actually delivered. What initially appeared to be a comprehensive and professional service ultimately felt very different once we engaged with the company.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We did not see any meaningful measurable outcomes that demonstrated progress or success. The results and level of service we experienced after becoming a paying client fell significantly short of the expectations established during the sales process. There was no clear evidence of meaningful growth, qualified leads, improved engagement, or measurable business impact that would justify the investment. In our experience, the gap between what was presented to us initially and what was actually delivered was substantial.

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

Project management was one of the most disappointing aspects of our experience. Communication and follow-up were not at the level we expected from a professional service provider, and the execution did not consistently match what had been discussed and promised upfront. Deliverables and responses did not always come with the level of timeliness, clarity, or attention to detail we expected. When we raised concerns or needed issues addressed, we did not feel that our needs were handled effectively or with the urgency they required. Overall, there was a significant disconnect between the professional image presented during the initial discussions and our experience once we became a paying client.

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?

The most impressive part was the presentation during the initial sales process. The company communicated confidently and presented a professional image that created strong expectations about what we would receive. Unfortunately, once we became a paying client, our experience did not match that initial impression. What looked very convincing upfront ultimately felt like smoke and mirrors when compared with the actual service and results we experienced.

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

There are significant areas for improvement. Most importantly, Social Bloom should ensure that the service actually matches the expectations and promises established during the sales process. They could also improve communication, transparency, project management, responsiveness, and the quality and consistency of deliverables. Clients should have clear expectations from the beginning and should not feel that the service changes substantially after payment is made. In our experience, the biggest improvement would be to focus less on making the service look impressive during the sales process and more on consistently delivering the level of service and results that are promised to paying clients.
