Overall Satisfaction with CIENCE

We brought Cience in to help launch a B2B Sales Outreach department for our established traditional ecommerce B2C product. It absolutely took time for the program to build steam, and like others we experienced a good amount of turn over. The PM who lead the way for the first 9 months never faltered in their commitment to our account, and was always proactive about suggesting changes when the opportunity arose. Their cold email open rates were always impressive, and with the right caller we did find success in booking a good amount of appointments. It is important that as the client you provide detailed and honest feedback - without communication and hard work on both ends it simply will not work. The biggest drawback of Cience is the price and ROI. For us, it is not feasible to continue this relationship past the one year mark, however - Cience has given us the tools we needed to continue and has been extremely gracious as we head toward the phase of offboarding.
  • Cold email open rates
  • Detailed and engaging playbook
  • Making proactive adjustments along the way
  • Pricing - Although their pricing just sort of is what it is for a service of this nature, it was not feasible for us
  • Communication when there was significant turn over within the first 6 months of our partnership was lacking. We expressed our feelings about this, and when their were some additional changes made to our team - we were prepared and told in a way that felt honest and professional.
  • Built great lofty lead databases
  • Left us with a fantastic sales playbook
  • low roi

Cience is well suited for providing building blocks when you are starting with very little. They took the time to learn our unique product and weren't hesitant to jump on an account for a less than traditional ICP. If you are looking to outsource sales, just be prepared to be an active voice in the partnership.
