Michelle Singer's Review Sourced from Google
The professional business development team for Straightin got my attention immediately, in a sea of cold contacts from LinkedIn. So they got the first meeting with me. I mean, I met them, I figure they might be able to get me set up with meetings too!Once I met with them and was introduced to other real people who would care for my LinkedIn connections as much as I do, while I do my work, it helped me to get past my fear of someone else representing me on the most important platform for my profession.I signed up for 12 months. I felt comfortable with them, and I knew that good things take consistency and patience. I was getting meetings right away and met with my account manager (and outreach manager) weekly while we got to know each other, developed my voice, fine-tuned my target audience, and more.In 6 weeks, I was confidently hands-off.By the second month, I was getting more meetings than I could handle (as a doer, owner, employer, and strategist - 4-5 a week was kicking my butt)!By the last week of the third month, I got my first client for a 12-month agreement at twice my usual monthly retainer rate, and $30,000 more than I spent for the full 12-month agreement with Straightin! 3.5 X ROI :-)I have had other projects and made some amazing contacts that have grown my referral network.My Account Manager, Kailey, sends me reports every Monday, communicates each booked or curious lead ASAP, meets with me every two weeks, and prioritizes impromptu meetings based on my occasional need to pivot to a new audience.If you have had "Network more" or "Start cold calling/emailing/DMing" or "Do more than WOM marketing" on your To-Do list for more than 1 year (I bet it's been many years;-), then this is perfect for you.Straightin makes it easy. Trust them. Most sales outreach needs a minimum of 3 months of consistent effort to start closing deals. The first month is building the relationship with your Account Manager, getting to know the target audience possibilities, refining your message. Weeks 3 through 9 were a lot of me learning how to present my services, test presentation decks, and conduct discovery calls. After that, it was just consistency and subtle refinements.Try it. If anything I said sounds familiar to you, then Straightin is for you.

Abysmal Performance and Unethical Practices - Avoid This LinkedIn Agency!!As an experienced marketing professional, I made the unfortunate decision to hire this LinkedIn agency for our enterprise sales outreach. The results were nothing short of disastrous, and their business practices left much to be desired.1. Their response rate and acceptance rate was under 1%2. They booked no meetings3. They done not understand enterprise sales
James Nathan's Review Sourced from Google
No leads delivered in two months, I gave them many chances - after a handful of silly mistakes on their behalf.On the sales call, before I signed up they explicitly said that if no leads are delivered month on month that I could break the clause, and leave the contract.They try and blame you for their poor service, then try and frame you for the poor quality of service (as seen in their reply below).I started with a "senior account manager" on the 1st call he told me he understood my needs - 1 week in, he was targeting my competitors, and 3 weeks in, the strategy had not clearly been understood, which is what made me very frustrated.(I) then requested to work with someone else, I was then moved to another "Senior account manager" and a very similar service was given.I said I want out, to which I was told I was stuck into a 6 month contract, and there's no way out - to which I threatened legal action.Address the major issues here StraightIn!!

Always amazed how Paul at Mage Cloud can bring and connect people together.

Paul is truly a professional across multiple areas—website development, maintenance, SEO, and e-commerce. From our very first conversation, it was clear that he has an in-depth understanding of the digital landscape and a strong commitment to delivering value.He quickly identified key areas for improvement, provided actionable insights, and patiently walked me through various strategies tailored specifically to my business. Paul's expertise and approachability made the whole experience not only productive but also enjoyable. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your success and has the skills to make a difference, Paul is the person to call. Thank you, Paul, for your time, guidance, and invaluable advice!

Sharp Ahead have been working alongside our business creating digital strategy and campaigns for us for, I believe, just over a year now (don't quote me on the timeframe. Time is a flat circle during the pandemic). Their extensive knowledge, hands-on expertise and friendly support has been absolutely second to none the entire time that we've worked with them. Our account manager, Emma Walker, makes us feel like we are her only client and is absolutely brilliant at every aspect of her job, as is everybody else that we have come into contact with at Sharp Ahead. Can't recommend more highly.
Edward Bowen's Review Sourced from Google
Sharp Ahead did a full audit on our B2B website and online marketing. The insights and recommendations they came back with clarified our thinking, made sure we were on the right track, and included a lot of golden nuggets for us to implement. In a market place where there are a lot of cowboys out there, they are a standout agency. I would thoroughly recommend them.
