Luke Price

Head of New BusinessMopinion, NL

“Sergiy established a smooth process and consistently reached the monthly targets. He also booked meetings, which led to the client's biggest deal in the targeted region. Overall, Sergiy and his agile team was communicative, proactive, reliable, and efficient.
We considered doing this in house but figured it was way more effective and efficient to outsource. Sergiy has a no nonsense and almost scientific approach to lead generation which clicked well with us.
All we had to do was tell Sergiy and his team our ideal customer profile, value prop, competitive landscape and basic objections, and they took care of the rest."
