Why CIENCE
"Read the book 'Predictable Revenue'" to Kent Campbell, Chief Marketing Officer at Reputation X.
In July 2018 Reputation X was looking for a lead generation and outbound marketing agency. They partnered with CIENCE for an outbound sales solution consisting of a Sales Development Rep, Researchers, and Project Managers. "They manage the outbound sales program end-to-end," says Kent Campbell.
CIENCE curated and enriched lead lists for Reputation X on a weekly basis, based on their ideal customer profile (ICP). After Reputation X decided on the exact accounts they wanted to penetrate, CIENCE orchestrated multi-channel, outbound outreach efforts on their behalf to start sales conversations and qualify leads.
Results
"The people are great," says Kent Campbell, Chief Marketing Officer. "Management is responsive. CIENCE is data-driven so results are objective and measurable." Reputation X was able to develop a more predictable sales pipeline and convert more qualified leads into closed deals.
"CIENCE enables Reputation X to target companies that have reputation management issues in a very specific way," says Campbell. "CIENCE manages research and outreach, while our in-house team manages the sales cycle from prospect to engagement. CIENCE has enabled us to spin up our outbound effort quickly."
