Belkins Reviews & Testimonials
Patrick Benasillo CCO, EVP & Co-Founder at Visual Graphic Systems
5.0★
Lead Generation Review from Patrick Benasillo
Belkins nailed project management. Each stage of the outbound funnel was thoroughly calculated, allowing us to use data-driven insights to make informed decisions and making sure both sides implemented strategies effectively. Communication was clear and proactive, and they maintained full transparency throughout the process. In the first month, we closed our first contract, which was a promising start. Belkins helped us build a robust sales pipeline. Currently, we have four opportunities at the proposal stage, averaging $85K, with the potential for these contracts to grow up to $150K. We didn't expect to close deals and contracts so quickly. Belkins exceeded our expectations by not only creating a solid base for future work but also securing contracts right off the bat. Their ability to deliver quick and substantial results was very impressive.

Appointment Setting Review from Rafael
Belkins played a crucial role in refining our customer profile and identifying key features of our ideal buyer. It meticulously researched relevant leads to construct a targeted contact list. Our partnership with Belkins commenced in May 2023, and by February 2024, it secured 51 appointments for us. With an impressive 43% open rate and a 3.7% reply rate, we exclusively focused on the United States market and the architecture industry. Thanks to Belkins' efforts, we expanded into the Canadian market and explored opportunities in other industry sectors. Hiring Belkins as our lead generation specialist ensured a consistent influx of new clients. We were impressed with the agency's efficient strategies.

Lead Generation Review from Allison Hill
Belkins helped us define our ideal customer and find the right leads. They created targeted email sequences that highlighted our value in different ways. We started our collaboration 6 months ago and Belkins set 36 appointments for us. We saw a 57% open rate and a 5-6% reply rate. We focused on the U.S. market but now we're starting to expand to Canada and some European countries.

requires a star but actually my rating to this company is negative stars lol. This company is a scam. They act like their interviewing and offer a position then they ask for money in form of a gift card. Be careful this is a scam. No company would ask for you to pay them to work for them. I wasted 3 hours with this company in hopes of a job. All they did was waste my time.

Worked with EBQ on a sales outsourcing project for 6 months in 2024. Can't say enough positive things about how attentive, friendly, and responsive the team is. They're organized and excellent problem-solvers. Due to the nuances of our business and sales process, it ultimately wasn't a long-term fit, but I would highly recommend EBQ for cold-calling and appointment-setting for B2B software or managed services. Shout out to Dante who was with us since the beginning – you rock!

Rodane Williams's Review Sourced from Google
I contracted EBQ for BDR augmentation services for a period of three months, and the results were extremely disappointing. Despite their promises, they failed to schedule even one initial meeting with potential clients. It was clear from the start that they didn’t fully understand my organization, our business needs, or how to properly present us to potential leads.Instead of delivering on their commitment, they merely provided a list of cold calls that didn’t meet our business requirements at all. The leads were irrelevant, poorly targeted, and demonstrated a lack of research or effort. Despite their failure to achieve any tangible results, they had the audacity to demand thousands of dollars in funding for what was essentially a useless service.Overall, I found their approach disorganized and out of touch with our goals, making this engagement a waste of time and money. I would not recommend their services to anyone looking for real results.

What services do US customer support outsourcing companies provide?
They provide voice and digital support services for faster response to customer inquiries and reducing operational burdens.
Voice support services include inbound customer service calls, escalations, billing and account inquiries, troubleshooting, and retention calls, with the segment accounting for roughly 60% of contact center outsourcing revenue in 2024. Companies continue to rely on voice support for high-stakes, emotionally charged, or technically complex issues that are difficult to resolve asynchronously.
The remaining ~40% of the revenue share is distributed across digital and automation-augmented support services, typically referring to live chat, messaging support, email support, social media customer support, chatbot self-service solutions, and co-browsing support.
When can clients expect ROI after signing such a service?
Return on investment (ROI) from an outsourced customer service depends on whether the business is fixing immediate capacity gaps or rebuilding support as an operation.
Overflow / after-hours coverage: Returns are gained within 1 to 2 months as the business reduces tickets, weekend backlogs, and churn-risk moments almost immediately.
Replacing in-house hiring: Value is typically noticed in 2 to 4 months once the team is live, because outsourcing is often pursued for material cost reduction.
Seasonal outsourcing (holidays, promos, spikes): ROI can be expected in 1 to 3 months because such short-term engagements prevent over-hiring and rushed training failures during peak demand.
Full migration (voice + email + chat + QA): Positive returns show in 3 to 6 months because the most notable returns will come from stabilized operations.
Niche support (regulated, technical, multi-brand, multilingual): Slower gains, visible in 4 to 9 months, due to knowledge transfer and escalation flows that take longer to set.
How much does customer support outsourcing cost in the US?
The average hourly rate of outsourced customer support companies in the US is $50. Based on these estimations, you can expect the following service rates:
Pricing model
Pricing range
Per hour
$40-$60 per hour
Per agent (full time equivalent - FTE)
$1,200-$4,000/month per agent
Per ticket or interaction
$1-$5 per ticket or $0.50–$2 per chat
The final service fee is not solely determined by the number of hired agents or mere hours of service delivered. The technical setup, service type, hours of coverage, and the language also add up to the service rate. Namely:
The more technical or regulated the product, the higher the training burden, which adds to the price.
Nights, weekends, and 24/7 coverage cost more than a standard 9-to-5 setup.
Multilingual support i.e., non-English customer support often increases costs by 20-40%.
In terms of channel, email or chat-only are the cheapest options. Voice, social, or omnichannel coverage incurs higher service fees.
CRMs, live chat, help desks, and chatbots entail setup or licensing fees.
What are the typical timelines for a customer support outsourcing company to setup and go-live for a new client?
In most cases, businesses can anticipate a rollout that moves from training to full coverage in 6 to 12 weeks.
Week 2-4 (setup and training): The outsourced customer support provider trains agents. At the same time, communication channels are set and escalation paths defined.
Week 5-8 (soft launch): Outsourced agents begin tackling low-risk, high-volume tickets, wherein every interaction is monitored and reviewed.
Week 9-12 (full go-live): The outsourced agents ramp to full coverage across agreed channels, and by this point, can resolve ~80% of issues without escalation.
What industries are these specialists most frequently engaged by?
Adoption of customer support outsourcing varies by industry, with the biggest concentration remaining in sectors with high volume, high complexity, or strict service expectations. The highest adoption is seen across:
