CIENCE is being used by our Marketing department to supplement the work of our Sales Development representatives and reach more prospective customers, contacting leads that our primary in-house team may not get to.
  • Great communication. We are aware of every successful contact their phone representative makes.
  • Strong accountability. They want feedback on every sales opportunity to know if they can improve in the future.
  • Nothing comes to mind. Maybe increasing their familiarity with some of our product features to further improve their pitch?
They are well-suited for trying out leads in international markets as they have reps around the globe. They are very efficient at contacting old or previously inactive leads/contacts that in-house representatives may not have time for.
  • They have thus far had a positive ROI by creating a few sales opportunities per month that otherwise would not exist.

They are easy to work with and very organized.
Great communication and accessibility.

  • nothing bad to say. Daria and her team = dream team!
I have already recommended CIENCE to others. Truly lucky to have found them. They produced results immediately. Shifted campaigns quickly to adapt to market needs. Updates are thorough. I love their transparency - all work is shared in an online project management platform - you can access reports, data, progress, scripts, etc. immediately any time.
  • We set a goal of 12 demo appointments and received 14 in the first month!
Excellent customer service and ability to consistently meet targets
Prompt communication.

  • Detailed and informative weekly reports.
  • Responsive actions.
  • Fruitful market data analysis and strategies.
  • Room for improvement in the early stage of campaign preparation.
  • None.
The overall lead generations result is great and we have increased our market share in APAC region. During some periods which the result is not good, CIENCE always suggest excellent ideas for us to confront the challenges and improve the situation.
  • Great targeting on job title.
  • Detailed research.
  • Smooth working flow.
Overall performance is great and we are happy to work with them.
They have a pool of talented teams and being responsible.

Cience is our top of funnel lead generation arm. They are handling outreach, initial discussion and appointment setting. We have a very niche and specialized industry and Cience has a firm grasp on what we do and how to get appointments set.
  • Email Prospecting
  • Content Creation
  • Prospect Follow Up
  • Team Turnover
  • Onboarding new team members
Cience has a wonderful team and structure for outreach and prospecting. Their methodology is outstanding, they are constantly looking at messaging and identifying if it needs to be updated or is not playing well with the audience. The research team is wonderful and very capable at ferreting out new leads and prospects.
  • The replace at least one FTE for a fraction of the cost
  • The outreach and top of funnel work reduces my teams workload
They communicate effectively and efficiently with my team and help us to close more deals.
They are wonderful to work with.
