Why CIENCE
"Their in-depth analysis was extremely beneficial for our team."

CIENCE conducted research and orchestrated outbound outreach for Yamaha, including cold emails and phone calls. "Their team qualified leads from our events and forwarded potential customers to our internal sales representatives," says Greg Mack.
Mack recalls, "Many different questions came up as they were contacting leads, and whenever they were unsure how to respond, they engaged us right away. They were also quick to let us know about leads that we needed to contact."
Results
Yamaha and CIENCE engaged in weekly video calls to discuss the results. Statistics and trends were shared, including the number of prospects contacted and the types of responses received. "I was impressed by their ability to break down their outreach process," says Greg Mack, Director of North American Sales. "Also, they always seemed eager to learn more about our business and our end users."
