Testimonials
"Without a doubt - this campaign has been one of the
best-of-breed I've experienced. Any marketing campaign has ramp-up from
stated goals and objectives in a SOW - to project timeline and execution...
and finally - most importantly - results. The entire eCoast team has
not only exceeded my expectations but continues to encourage me to wish to do
more to drive business for IBM and respective partners."
- Rick Stanley, SMB Marketing Consultant - Wireless & RFID,
IBM
"It has been a pleasure working with
eCoast. You took responsibility for the entire process, you provided expert
guidance, and delivered on time and on budget. I have recommended eCoast to
the broader marketing team in Cisco's Strategic Alliances organization because
creating a sales pipeline quickly for joint solutions will have a significant
impact on the ROI over the life of a solution. I look forward to working with
you again."
- Vince Grove, Manager - Business Development Strategic
Alliances, Cisco
"I have a position that supports
channels that sell Nortel product. This telemarketing campaign was the first one
I was a part of and initially I was concerned how it would go. I have heard
horror stories from other colleagues who worked with other companies. My
experience with eCoast was a positive one and is one that I am now sharing with
colleagues to show that a telemarketing campaign can be a very positive
experience. I am advising them they should consider eCoast next time."
- Michel Eichamer, Channel Marketing Manager, Nortel
"These types of campaigns are
successful if even one A or B lead turns into a long term opportunity.
One in particular, ABC Center, currently uses all competitive switching and
wireless gear that is EoL. Budget is slim as it's a state agency, but NetXperts
is skilled in assisting the customer in technology planning to create budget or
spend existing budget more effectively. I have spent some time with the CIO
understanding what the local initiatives are, and how they align with the
state's IT initiatives. I have three quotes to them for a total of $30k
with an upside of $600k over the next 18 months. All told,
the eCoast campaign was worth the investment."
- Tom Hagin, NetXperts, Inc.
"This is one of the easiest letters I have wanted to write in
most recent times. I want to thank you very much for a wonderful service you
provide. Your accessibility, knowledge, and understanding of my industry is
warming and refreshing. You have taken my company's culture and hit a homerun.
You have re-designed my web site beyond my expectation. The technology
you used makes it very easy to navigate and get to the point. Your
company's marketing acumen is well beyond my expectations. Your understanding of
the Cisco culture is clear and concise. My web site reflects that
understanding."

"We are thrilled with the recent results from our integrated marketing
campaign that incorporated pre-event telemarketing support from eCoast. Not
only did we increase attendance by over 100%, we also had more qualified
attendees, which led to a more satisfying event experience for DynTek, Cisco and
our guests. As a result, we were able to capture immediate traction from
the event, which will lead to shorter sales cycles and a quicker overall ROI."
- Linda Ford, VP Marketing, Dyntek, Inc.
"Rohn Martino was a pleasure to work
with during the time frame of our Cisco Telemarketing Campaign. At the
beginning of the campaign Rohn explained to me the ROI of eCoast's previous
efforts with similar campaigns, and I have to admit I was skeptical.
However, at the end of the campaign Rohn's team was able to come in at 100% of
their target. Also, every lead was extremely qualified with specific detailed
information explaining not only the prospect's pain, but the information also
specifically stated who was responsible for ultimately making the buying
decision. We will definitely find ways to try to use the services of eCoast in
the future."
- Ted Coleman, Customer Advocate Manager, G3 Technology
Partners
"The complete process was very easy to
implement and almost effortless on our part. We just sat back and received the
qualified leads. Many of the leads were as prescribed with the customer
information and appointments set. The follow-up calls on our part were very
easy and the customer was well aware of our call and expectations of the
call/appointment. We are greatly appreciative of the opportunity we were
given by Cisco and eCoast to participate in this program and have since run
another campaign and are in the process of scheduling yet another. Flagship
Tech has since closed a $88,000 list deal and are well into the process
of working another directly received from this Cisco/eCoast
campaign. Overall, we are very happy with the results which far exceeded
our expectations and we again greatly appreciate the opportunity to participate
in this program."
- Tom Kimmes, Cisco Solutions Manager, Flagship Technologies,
Inc.
"We consider the events to be
a success, and we would use your services again. Given the short time frame
you had to produce leads, I think the registrations were
excellent. Attendance was about 50% of registrations, which I
understand is typical. But of course, we've captured all those who
registered as well as those who said they might stop by and our sales people are
working those leads. We haven't closed anything yet as a direct result of
the events, but we have about $250,000 of strong opportunities in our pipeline
from the events."
- Kevin Learned, President and CEO, The Network Group
"Thank you for your support for a very successful Branch of the Future
Event at the EBC with HEIT and Cisco. We simply couldn't have
pulled this off without you. We drove some great qualified clients with
immediate needs that will total $2M in the pipeline. SDN and IP Comm had
extremely strong interest. We are following up with a deeper demo of MARS
via a webinar in the next 2 weeks. Plus, we will be doing IPC ROI for many
of the clients. We have 15 strong leads from this event. "
- Dan Holt, VP of Sales, HEIT Consulting
"I wanted to let you know what a FANTASTIC job you and your
people are doing. The qualification of the customer has been tremendous
generating very excellent leads. Without a question, this is the
best program/telemarketing campaign that Miles as ever been involved
with. eCoast and your agents are providing excellent information in the
lead, which is allowing my sales people to quote on almost every lead."
Thanks for a terrific campaign!
- Tom Beusch, President, Miles Technologies
