Following the success of the BDUK campaign, Salesbond was then instructed assist with a campaign to sell more of their VoIP services. Again, Salesbond delivered on their commitment to Connectus and secured new business that would provide a 14:1 ROI again recurring over three years.
Going forward, Salesbond will be supporting Connectus with a drive to promote cyber security and to extend broadband to businesses in geographical areas with poor connectivity.
We were personal– We believe in making real, personal connections with our clients and Connectus were no different. We listened, shared, engaged, and treated them like human beings, not just a business opportunity.
Discovery Days– As we do with every client, we visited the Connectus offices to get a feel for the business and learn as much as possible about the products, services and proposition. This gives us a real edge when the time comes to pick up the phones.
We became an extension– Our goal is always to make our client feel like we’re a natural part of the team. The Connectus leadership describe us an extension of their team.
We assimilated– It’s vital for us that we adopt the ethos of our client company and work positively with existing teams. We quickly assimilated with the Connectus staff developing positive, mutually beneficial relationships.
We achieved– As we aim to do with every Connectus gave us a target and we didn’t stop until we’d hit it.
Salesbond has been an outstanding company to work with, they are personable, professional, and extremely talented at what they do.
