After the full campaign and multiple rounds of refining the list and messaging, I got exactly ONE positive reply.
3 months at $1000 a month with no results. Literally not one lead or meeting.
Overpromised, promised we would get sign off on mailing lists, went and mailed people without getting signoff

PersistIQ offers sales engagement software alongside managed outbound services. Cleverly’s cold email offering centers on agency-managed research, messaging, and campaign optimization, with optional reply management and appointment booking. Compare Cleverly with the specific PersistIQ service package you’re considering, since software access and managed execution have different scopes.
Yes. Its prospecting extension helps users find email addresses for prospects identified on LinkedIn or Sales Navigator, then add them to campaigns and their CRM. With the software, your team still directs the prospecting workflow.
Yes. PersistIQ combines email sequences with calling and task workflows, including a built-in dialer and LinkedIn touchpoints. These features can support sales teams that run several outreach channels from one platform.
Its current pricing page leads to a demo request rather than a public rate card. Request a written quote specifying campaign management, prospect volume, sending infrastructure, reply handling, and contract terms. Historical software prices and individual reviewers’ fees do not establish today’s managed-service price.
Cleverly suits businesses that want a dedicated team responsible for cold email execution and ongoing improvement. Its full-service option also covers qualifying replies and booking meetings, making it a practical fit when internal sales capacity is limited.
