Why CIENCE
"The best part is working with the Leader of the project (account manager) and the SDR assigned to us. They were very responsive, adaptable, and organized. Truly a pleasure working with them."
Forest Travel was having a hard time targeting certain companies based on their revenue, employee base, and travel expenditures. They were looking to give their outbound efforts a lift and selected CIENCE for their lead generation needs.
CIENCE conducted research based on Forest Travel's ICP and orchestrated outbound marketing campaigns to qualify leads. "CIENCE generated the number of leads in the time agreed and worked closely with the Corporate Travel Director on changes and some fine-tuning needed," says Stinson.
