About The Customer
Wit Digital is a results-obsessed digital marketing agency that provides “whatever it takes” services to its clients. Specializing in home service businesses, it provides organic search, paid search, web development, and social media marketing services to help them grow. The company is based in the USA and operates in the professional service industry. The company is driven by a high volume of inbound phone calls through its marketing campaigns and has been struggling to qualify those leads efficiently and accurately. The company's cost per lead was sitting well above the industry average, making it a high priority for Ryan Cook, Director of Client Strategy, Wit Digital to resolve this issue.
The Challenge
Wit Digital was driving a high volume of inbound phone calls through its marketing campaigns, but it struggled to qualify those leads efficiently and accurately. The company’s cost per lead was sitting well above the industry average. At the time, Ryan and his team were recording calls with CallRail’s Call Tracking and then sending the recordings overseas where a third-party vendor would manually listen to the calls and categorize them. The arrangement with the overseas vendor took a long time to ramp up. Ryan and his team spent a lot of time teaching them how to categorize calls accurately. Even once processes were in place, Ryan had to do a lot of handholding. Unfortunately, the relationship deteriorated and service levels dropped off over time. To make matters even worse, the overseas vendor was expensive, with Wit Digital spending $2,500 to $4,000 per month. Ryan could have justified the cost if the overseas team was categorizing calls with near 100% accuracy. But instead, the team was stuck at 65 to 75%, partly due to language barriers.
The Solution
Wit Digital decided to power up Call Tracking with Conversation Intelligence. When Ryan ran a small test with CallRail’s Conversation Intelligence, he found it performed better than the overseas vendor right out of the gate. Based on that success, Ryan abandoned the RFP process and started working with his rep to power up Call Tracking with Conversation Intelligence for Wit Digital and its client accounts. He also hired a temporary contractor to set up phrases and keywords to achieve an even greater level of accuracy. Ryan and his team are also getting good results with the filter options available in Conversation Intelligence. For example, if a call from a first time caller lasts more than 60 seconds, Ryan knows it’s very likely a qualified lead and can have it automatically categorized as such.

SET Creative Ditches Google Vault for Datto Backupify
When Kienholz first started at SET, the staff was using Microsoft Outlook for email with no form of data backup. It became apparent that something needed to change as the staff was often burdened with trying to recover emails from departed employees. Kienholz transitioned the team to Google’s Gmail and implemented Google Vault for backup purposes. While SET employees quickly adjusted to Gmail, which many use for personal email, the same could not be said for Google Vault. “Unlike most Google products, Vault was not user friendly at all. It’s very hard to search for items. We never really figured out how to do a restore either,” explained Kienholz. Due to SET’s work with high-profile brands, projects often go through many rounds of revisions right down to the eleventh hour. This means that every bit of information - especially data living in project managers’ emails - is crucial to delivering clients a polished design at deadline.

Sawback IT and Datto Save Client From a Costly Mistake
Ballistic Echo, a software development house, faced a critical challenge when human error led to the deletion of thousands of lines of unique code. This incident occurred before the code was pushed to source control, resulting in significant loss of time, revenue, and work. The previous file-level backup solution they used was slow and inefficient, making it nearly impossible to manually recreate the lost work. The need for a more reliable and efficient business continuity solution became evident to avoid such disasters in the future.

Pipeline Insight Case Study: YARCDATA
YarcData faced challenges in determining the conversion rates of prospects into customers through various marketing efforts and identifying the source of its leads. They wanted to know the percentage of opportunities in the sales pipeline that came from different marketing events, web downloads, or self-sourced sales opportunities. Additionally, they needed the ability to drill down into the data to guide where to allocate more marketing dollars based on the success of previous efforts. Previously, YarcData relied heavily on spreadsheets and Salesforce.com reports, which made it difficult to extract the exact information they needed. This reliance on spreadsheets represented about 70% of their data presentation.
