Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our initial engagement with Belkins began with a startup package, aimed at kickstarting our lead generation efforts. Our specific goal was to establish a robust sales pipeline, targeting potential clients interested in our services. We operate in a niche market, so we understood the unique challenges that Belkins would face in effectively communicating our value proposition to prospective clients. As we thought, collaboration started off with some challenges as they navigated our intricate industry landscape. However, their dedication and adaptability shone through, leading to a significant breakthrough. Belkins undertook a comprehensive approach, conducting diligent research to understand our target audience and industry. After a few months of persistent effort, Belkins successfully closed their commitment and booked multiple relevant appointments for us.

Belkins' methods have helped a dictation software provider book 40 appointments in five months.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Talkatoo is a dictation software provider for veterinarians. We are operating in a fairly narrow niche. Therefore, it was important for us to identify our target audience, find as many prospects as possible, and book calls. We wanted to find clinics and veterinarians ready to use our service. We attempted self-promotion, but it proceeded slowly. Then we understood that our internal marketing team just couldn't handle the volume of work, and we were ready to partner with an external marketing firm. Then, my colleague recommended Belkins. We checked over the testimonials, immediately sorted out the specifics, and got to work.

Pros

  • The fact that Belkins provided us actual paying customers was the best part. Once we started having these meetings, we were able to start winning the deals.
  • Our product is unlike anything else on the market. However, they took the initiative and assured us that everything would proceed well.
  • The Belkins team was polite and friendly. They listened to us and considered our recommendations and comments.
  • I liked the fact that we were able to always keep in touch with Belkins, consult and share the ideas. It made our work better.

Cons

  • Probably, there is always something to strive for. But I can say without any doubt that the Belkins team has perfectly coordinated the work, and the guys are real experts in their niche.

Return on Investment

  • 40 appointments booked in 5 months
  • 2-5 meetings weekly

I am impressed with their high level of engagement and desire to work as an extension of our team

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have always been growing well organically, but in order to get to the next level, we needed an additional approach. We wanted to develop business more effectively. It felt like we had a great offer and needed to increase brand awareness.For agencies, it’s really difficult to increase awareness — you don’t advertise via the traditional marketing channels. Therefore, cooperation with Belkins looked like a great way to make our agency known, liked, and trusted by highly relevant customers. We also expected it to provide us with an opportunity to pitch them. We were conducting a thorough Google search, comparing various options according to a set of specific criteria essential for our business. Finally, we chose Belkins as the most relevant lead-generation agency with the best customer reviews and solid case studies.

Pros

  • High call volume — Belkins professionals scheduled numerous appointments, and we were able to find clients out of those and close deals.
  • Great Linkedin Influencer campaign — It will definitely help drive inbound traffic, build brand awareness, and come up with creative solutions.
  • High level of engagement and desire to work as an extension of our team — Their eagerness to test and implement different approaches, helping with anything that’s in Belkins’ power (for instance, Belkins helped with researching people for recruitment during the phase of Born & Bred’s extreme growth.)

Cons

  • None that I can think of.

Return on Investment

  • Belkins has successfully scheduled numerous appointments so far, allowing us to obtain new customers and close deals.
  • A dedicated partner, they are constantly testing out new and creative approaches to drive inbound traffic, build awareness, and set us apart from our competitors.

Best outreach for a marketing firm - I have nothing but good things to say about Belkins

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We brought Belkins on to lead research on anti-spam services and appointment scheduling for sales prospects.They really serve as an outsourced Business Development Representative (BDR) service. We’re a tech-enabled marketing automation partner, and, in this instance, we wanted to focus on clients in a particular range of revenue. Belkins has helped us target those companies. They create contact lists, begin the outreach, and identify the points of contact at each particular prospect company that is open to a conversation. They basically plant the seeds and then set up initial connect call appointments, and then we go from there.

Pros

  • We just closed one of our largest contracts based on their lead research
  • They’re ethical, transparent, effective, intentional in their approach, and a pleasure to work with
  • Through their research and outreach efforts, they’ve consistently booked sales-qualified appointments for our sales team

Cons

  • I think that they’re doing everything they can do at this point.

Return on Investment

  • 5–7 sales-qualified appointments every month
  • closed one of our largest contracts
