StraightIn

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. "

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!I somehow was convinced that this Linkedin marketing company was going to help me reach my target audience. They wanted a 6 month contract and luckily somehow I had the foresight to ask for a shorter term. In a nutshell, they suck and they don't deliver on ANYTYHING they promise. I had someone start as my contract person. At some point he was no longer with the company and I was not even made aware of it until I noticed that for 10 days there was no activity on my account. I was handed over to someone else who had zero experience in my industry. The pitch emails were so basic and the 8-10 leads a week I was promised were a joke at this point. I couldn't get out of the contract and so I was stuck. I had to tell this guy what industry to reach out to, what to write, how to find th companies and so on. It was just ridiculous at some point. Not a single viable lead in 4 months. Stay away . "

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 "

Similar to many of the reviews here unfortunately my experience has been poor.You are better off buying a LinkedIn automation software to send out your messages to lead lists. (Pretty sure this is the model they have anyway)- 3 months 1 lead even this was questionable ( lead didn’t accept invite).Pros: They are nice people.Cons:- They have low business acumen, this means they are actually unable to understand what many businesses do and the outcomes they drive.- Attention to detail, the messaging and targeting is quite off, it doesn’t seem to be done with any care.- You end up having to do the job yourself. Due to the first 2 points you more or less end up having to create the messaging yourself and find a target list of customers they must target.Reading other reviews on here it seems there is a similar trend. Following this also in the responses from straightIn a very clear lack of accountability. Reading other responses is concerning as there seems to be public sharing of personal data such as when customers started their service etc. This is truly concerning to see unprofessional and again shows lack of business acumen. "

StraightIn is the best lead generation company I have ever worked with. They are honest, flexible, and dependable. As the CEO, I highly recommend them because their company will work to ensure success. Every single person we interact with gives us 110% effort. We have exceeded out goals with them and will be long term clients. "
