LevelUp is a reliable, involved, and thoughtful partner in the lead generation process. They ask detailed questions about the target audience and the goals of each campaign, and then fine tune the process to achieve the desired results (target audience research, campaign planning, creating name recognition, awareness, impressions, and leads).

LevelUp has helped me to generate leads, generate brand awareness through email and social media campaigns, and augment my prospect databases. I not only recommend the LevelUp team - I have hired them twice (once in 2018, and again in 2022).

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

LevelUp has helped me to generate leads, generate brand awareness through email and social media campaigns, and augment my prospect databases. On our first project together, LevelUp helped me to build a substantial sales pipeline (taking a brand new product offering from no pipeline to more than 35 leads, and more than $1M in ARR in less than six months).

On our second project together, LevelUp helped me to not only generate leads, but also build brand awareness. LevelUp's efforts (along with three other / separate initiatives) helped us to increase website traffic and inbound interest in our product offerings by over 600%.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The LevelUp team is very attentive to customer goals and objectives. They focus not just on the details, but also on the larger picture, actively contributing to the achievement of the broader goals. The team supports a healthy and pro-active two way dialogue, and is available to help with any issues, concerns, or requests.

What was your primary form of communication with LevelUp Leads?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The very persistent sense of partnership, and the positive, constructive, and "can do" responses to pretty much any surprise, concern, or hiccup. (Which life and business invariably dole out, when least expected, despite impressive and thorough preparation.)

Are there any areas for improvement or something LevelUp Leads could have done differently?

I am always looking for more, faster, at a lower price. And those factors are always welcome! But LevelUp Leads has met my requirements and helped me to achieve some great end results several times now - over a period of years. That is a really good end result, and I look forward to working with them again!
