As we don´t have an internal SDR team, we use agencies to help generate leads to support the sales team. We used S2M to help generate our leads across EMEA for our Media and Entertainment solutions.
  • Generating leads within net new accounts
  • Account and market intelligence
  • Strategy updates
  • Collaborative approach
  • Lead consistency - some months slower than others
When you need an agency to support you in pipeline generation through ABM campaigns. Our solutions are vast and complex and they had a great understanding of what we offer and what is most suited to each account or prospect.

Our strategy was to increase our client base in the DACH region. Due to problems recruiting, we decided to use an agency. S2M-group was recommended to us from a colleague who had used them in a previous organisation. Their scope was to generate qualified leads within new logo accounts within the DACH region. We worked closely with one of their German SDRs to do this. They also did some on demand ABM account research in our key accounts and generated a lot of valuable market insight.
  • Project progress update and communication
  • Volume of qualified leads
  • Market insights
  • Strategy ideas
  • Some leads could be qualified more but not from a lack of trying on S2Ms side - but rather the contact not giving details
Best suited - when you need a local language resource to support your pipeline generation efforts.
Not suited - not sure as we only needed them for what they were good at

We worked with S2M-group to accelerate growth through their B2B lead generation services. S2M-group contacts potential customers based on the persona we provide. They support us in building brand awareness, identifying potential customers interested in our solution, and attempting to conduct qualification evaluations with them, then pass on to us for follow-up. They will also help us understand market feedback.
  • S2M-group will conduct qualification question with prospect and then pass to us to follow up.
  • S2M-group build a good communication with team, keep our updated once they received any feedback.
  • Sometimes S2M-group cannot achieve a balance of results across markets, and subsequently sales representatives. We are working with them clearly on this to improve the targeting in markets with lower results.
S2M-group will regularly review the current accounts and proactively share with us potential accounts that can be added.

We partnered with S2M to help us with our lead generation needs and accelerate our pipeline growth. Using their Account-Based Marketing strategy, S2M focused on generating qualified leads by targeting a predefined list of over 100 accounts. Their approach aimed to address our business challenge of expanding our customer base and driving revenue growth.
  • s2m-group is particularly effective in creating brand awareness among prospects, identifying where interest in services exists, and converting those prospects into qualified leads. They are also responsive to any needs or concerns that arise during the project, and their regular reports and alignment calls help to keep communication clear and transparent.
  • We were extremely satisfied with the services provided by the team. They exceeded our expectations and delivered excellent results.
Based on our experience, s2m-group is an excellent choice for B2B lead generation, account-based marketing, sales pipeline acceleration, regional expansion, and increasing brand awareness. However, it may be less suitable for organizations with an established customer base or limited budgets for account-based lead generation services.

We cooperated with S2M to accelerate our B2B sales pipeline in SEA and China market. S2M provides highly customized lead generation services, which is called account-based marketing for us, and we believe it could be good assistance and acceleration for our local sales team in different markets. During the project, S2M helped us identify key decision makers and right contact to expand our customer vision and make the sales process more target-oriented and effective. S2M could provide high-quality qualification within our target scope when they successfully reached out to customers and consequently ensure success in sales and marketing.
  • S2M provides detailed and systematic reports, which let us own clear insights of their efforts and results generated and see how they add value.
  • S2M owns responsible team for the cooperation. We maintain good relationship via emails and calls. If the results are unexpected as scheduled, S2M would identify the challenges and discuss with us for a better accelerating plan.
  • N/A
S2M worked with us in the ABM campaign, since we have some companies that we need to cross sell to them. After understanding the account insights, S2M adapted to their campaign, then successfully contacted to the right KDM then met with us.

We have collaborated with S2M to accelerate our B2B sales in APAC. S2M provides customer based lead generation services, which we believe will be a good addition to our existing sales team. During the project, S2M worked with us as a partner. They target specific customers for us through customer based marketing to increase awareness and determine interest in our solutions, and convert them into qualified potential customers. S2M will share with us all market intelligence they have obtained through potential customer development through detailed reports and coordination calls. They answered all the questions quickly and clearly. If the problem of achieving the goal is caused by market satisfaction or other reasons beyond their control, they will share this and change their strategy to see how to achieve the goal.
  • S2M sends detailed reporting which helps us gain insights in their activities and see where they add value.
  • S2M has set up a great communication through email and calls, which helps to easily stay in touch with them for questions, feedback or other topics.
  • No applicable

We initially started working with S2M since 2018 for B2B lead generation services, to build a stronger sales pipeline in the Southeast Asian market. S2M’s effort supported us in sales acceleration and generated real revenue, with high ROI. We later also expanded the services to other markets in Europe and North America having S2M as a strong strategic partner. S2M also does account-based marketing as we have multiple solutions, we target large accounts with strong international presence, and reach out to multiple industries. Overall both our marketing and sales team are quite satisfied with their account based lead generation services that has led to pipeline growth. Every year our relation is getting stronger with S2M. Overall, they assist us in business expansion, lead generation, building sales pipeline, running campaigns, launching new solutions, identifying market intelligence and cross selling.
  • They work like an extension/partner of our marketing and sales team.
  • Generate consistent leads per week/month.
  • Reach markets where we don’t have a physical presence and help explore new territories.
  • Generate awareness in the market about our services among Key decision-makers relevant to our solutions.
  • Non comes to mind
In scenarios where IT companies want to grow revenue and have a consistent lead flow, S2M group is well suited.

S2M is well suited to be seen as partner that can support and guide you to achieve sustained pipeline growth. They put in a lot effort to understand your solution, processes, plans, and dedicate themselves to be in line with your strategy. They have been perfectly able to understand our identity and the way we want to be seen by our customers, and have subsequently put in practice. Based on the leads generated by S2M and the feedback from customers we have gained thanks to them, I can conclude that S2M has represented an accurate image of us already when touching base with them for the very first time.

We use S2M as an extension of our sales and marketing teams. They help us set up meetings with our target audience.
  • Target Account List and ICP Verification
  • Outbound Business Development
  • Customer Communication and Satisfaction
  • Nothing really comes to mind - we are really happy with their services
If you are looking for an appointment setting agency S2M-group is great. To my understanding they solely work with Software and Technology companies so that is important to keep in mind.

Also, they have been really helpful in targeting markets in which we don't speak the language because they have an international team.
