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

Startupr supported our finance consulting agency in building a consistent pipeline as we expanded regionally. From the start, they took time to understand our services, target clients, and the specific markets we wanted to grow into.

They handled the full outbound process, combining cold email and cold calling through their SDR team. Their focus was on reaching the right decision-makers, qualifying leads properly, and setting up meetings that actually made sense for our business.

The key deliverables were high-quality, qualified meetings, ongoing optimization of outreach, and clear visibility into performance, helping us move faster and grow with confidence in new regions.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Within the first few weeks, we started seeing qualified meetings coming in with decision-makers that actually matched what we were looking for. Compared to previous efforts, the quality of leads and the relevance of conversations improved noticeably.

Over the first couple of months, Startupr helped us build a consistent flow of meetings across our target regions, which gave us much better visibility into our pipeline. We spent less time filtering out poor fits and more time on real business discussions.

The project helped us move faster, test new markets with confidence, and make real progress toward regional growth without wasting time or resources.

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

Project management was smooth and well organized from the start. Onboarding was quick, timelines were clear, and deliverables were handled on time without us having to chase updates. 

What was your primary form of communication with Startupr?

Virtual Meeting

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

What stood out most was how practical and focused the team was. They took the time to understand our business and past challenges, then moved quickly to execute with the right mix of people, tools, and outreach channels. Nothing felt generic or over-engineered — just a clear, efficient approach that delivered real conversations and helped us move forward with confidence.

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

Nothing that comes to mind
