Smith.ai vs. Belkins

Belkins has a fancy website with lots of marketing jargon and buzzwords. But they don’t mention how many calls they make or what their strategy looks like. They’re also unclear on how they conduct follow-up efforts. We collaboratively work with you to develop an outreach strategy based specifically on your business objectives. We make up to five calls per contact and follow-up with texts & emails to improve conversion rates. We also have our own team of North America-based agents trained in sales development — so we can deliver real results more efficiently.

With Belkins, you have to reach out to understand their pricing and if their services fit your budget. Smith.ai believes in transparency. Our campaigns start at $600 per month for 50 leads with price breaks for higher volume plans. Included in every campaign — strategic planning, white-glove setup, script writing, client onboarding, and a dedicated account manager. We also bundle in appointment setting, new-client form completion, and outbound business caller ID.

When it comes to a sales outreach partnership, CRM integration is key. Belkins only connects to HubSpot. Although a popular one — we know not every business uses the Hubspot platform. Smith.ai integrates with over 5,000 CRMs (including Hubspot), marketing platforms, and calendaring software. We will work with the CRM you already use so there’s no need to change your current system infrastructure. Through these integrations, we can automatically import leads into our system from yours, such as when new leads complete a new-client inquiry on your website or respond to an email or advertisement. You can send those leads directly to Smith.ai for immediate outbound engagement as we help solve your speed to lead constraints. 

With Smith.ai, you can monitor real-time statuses, attempts we’ve made, call outcomes per contact, and more. With access to detailed call summaries (as well as optional audio recordings and searchable transcripts), you’ll know the results of each and every campaign to better measure performance and ROI.

Critically, we also offer the option to have inbound coverage when leads call back in response to voicemails and messages sent to them. Our 24/7 virtual receptionists are available to add-on to any Outreach Campaign plan for just $285 per month, ensuring 360-degree coverage of your leads, particularly those with the highest intent. We even offer 24/7 live chat so leads visiting your website after receiving our outreach are greeted and engaged immediately. We handle the entire “frontline” of your lead flow so you never need to worry about in-house coverage when our campaigns are running on your behalf.

At Smith.ai, we’re a true business partner and extension of your sales team. For pricing transparency, custom strategy, more CRM integration options, and 24/7 North American sales agents, businesses prefer Smith.ai over Belkins.
