bant.io Reviews & Product Details

I like that they have created a lot of high quality leads for a reasonable price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I signed up through the website it took a little over a week for an account manager to contact me to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The team is amazing, they are personal, always ready to help and carefully listen to requirements. The onboarding was quick and the platform is easy to use and navigate. There are up to date, clear metrics showing the success of each campaign, with full access to all information, from a target list to logs of messages sent and so on. We were sceptical at first whether it would be suitable for us due to being in the financial services sector, however, it has started many conversations and built a great base for future ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have a set of business size-specific criteria for leads, which is difficult to set due to the data points within the platform and source of that data. It would be great to see financial information available through the that. However, the team has been upfront and helped us understand where each piece of data comes from and we have been learning the ins and outs of it and making improvements to increase the quality of leads coming through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customer service is great, the customer success manager understood our business needs and created a campaign which fitted with our objectives. The interface of the platform was also really engaging and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There could be some additional data filters which could dig deeper into the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They do everything for you. After an initial onboarding call, they source the prospect, create the emails and send them. All i have to do is deal with hot leads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would actually like to receive all replies to my inbox even if they are negative so that I can still thanks for replying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Just getting qualified leads without the pain and suffering from the rejections (or self disqualifications!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only using outbound email currently, so difficult to day Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of usage. Once you know what you are looking for, setting things up is easy. We had heard that Bant was kind of a shotgun approach, but all email campaigns are, until you focus on the target you are reaching out to.

We liked worked with them and we will be working again in the coming months. Our first 3 month campaign did result in numerous discussions with companies, which was the goal in the first place. Once we get meetings, the work of Bant is considered done (and a success).

Price was also good, when we compare other services out there, the price of getting contacts, having the tools in place, and everything ready is fully justified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing in particular. Our target was very focused (specific titles in specific industries), so the number of potential contacts was obviously restricted. However, we still managed to find a few thousand contacts, which was by itself pretty impressive.

One thing I would caution people before they start: Make sure you take your time to target the right people. The filters, by default, can pull up anybody. It is one thing to have a filter that can reach out to people in company ABC, but if you want to talk to the CFO instead of the guy in charge of security at night, you better review the results of the filters. We initially made that mistake and it took us a few days to realize it. But once the corrections where made, things changed drastically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How easy it was to respond to inquiries from potential clients! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There really isn't anything I didn't like. The whole process was seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The benefits of bant lies with the automated sales outreach for your business, in particular the cold campaigns. If you're running more inbound campaigns with content marketing (like we do), bant is a welcome adjunct for leveraging a more direct approach while you continue to nurture your audience on platforms such as LinkedIn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Leads can hit & miss occasionally. We had instances where the leads weren't completely relevant to our target market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first time our company is using 3rd party lead-generation services, and we're delighted to receive a more-than-expected number of enquiries. Although there's still a lot of work to conversion, it was a great learning experience and hours of manual lead-generation work eliminated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the messaging content seems very similar across different companies - I received a few similar emails with the same email copy from other companies, which I suspected were using Bant.io too (?). More distinction for each company will be good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bant allows us to focus all online marketing into one easy to use portal. We had various different softwares and services previously, which lead to a difficult to manage and disparate collection of sales tools and lead gen platforms. Bant saves us time and money, whilst making our marketing efforts well controlled and easy to view from high level down to granular metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a dislike but probably worth mentioning for those in the SME market: Bant is an opportunity creator/door opener. It's not about providing sales, you still need a team to do that. It will give you a healthy funnel of new leads, which you can organise discussion and calls with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There was nothing really I needed to do in regards to set up the process.

The onboarding process was quick and results came in immediately

I was expecting the minimum what was expected on their website and in the sales call. But I didnt expect these many results. It Totaly changed my outlook for revenue and how to close more deals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is really nothing that comes into my mind. The only thing what comes into my mind is that the time they spend with you to interview you to search for the leads and prepare the messaging is so short that it gave me the feeling that this might not work. But I don't know how they do it, but they over delivered Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bant is professional and efficient. We'd been working on cracking the "email outreach" lead generation nut for months, and it felt like we were trying to play catchup in an industry that was way ahead of us. When we signed on with Bant, we immediately felt like we were playing in the big-leagues. They solved all our problems, made the process simple and easy, and helped us generate leads almost immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's hard to know what Bant is learning along the way and how they're tweaking the approach. Although I have a dashboard with high-level statistics, I don't have visibility into the A/B tests their running, what they're learning as a result, and how they're tweaking as they go. I did notice email copy shift over time, but I wasn't party to the decisions nor to the reasons why those decisions had been made. In general, they get results, so I'm not concerned too much, but the lack of transparency makes it tough for me to learn personally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bant is a great way to get a high volume of inbound prospects who are interested in your services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The way email is forwarded and how it integrates with your CRM. I wasn't a fan of the LinkedIn campaign that was setup, but after the copy was edited and the delivery rate was throttled, results started to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much work to be done on my end after the onboarding process. And leads will just flow in every other day, achieving the number of leads they promised to deliver. If you are looking for a lead gen platform for your business, do give BANT.IO a try! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There wasn't any trial period which made us hesitated for a moment. When we decided to go for it, for the start, there was a process which we need to optimize to better focus on the types of industry that we wanted to target. After that was being sorted out, everything was proceeding as promised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They helped us to reach out to a massive number of potential leads. And they are quick to adjust the targetted clients based on results and feedbacks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The messages they use reached out to clients could be more customized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(1) Bant.io provided a list of prospects who had shown interest in what we have to offer, better use of my time. (2) they were available to talk to and provide feeback/updates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There were over-promise on our services that needed to be adjusted Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Virtual Reality is a relatively new technology. It can be challenging to reach prospects who had no previous experience with it. Bant helped us develop an approach that worked across the board and helped us reach and generate leads from a variety of industries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no option to fine-tune for specific industries. While this is not detrimental in any form. There are resources spent on leads, we know are not qualified from the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very reasonable pricing and value. In addition to outbound email lead gen, BANT also does LinkedIn reach outs, and retargeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the targeting can be a little bit off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quality of leads provided, pricing was very affordable especially if you purchase for 90 days Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They do not provide additional upsell services like appointment setting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their methodology & followups. We had been trying to expand our footprint and get more leads however most of our exercises with external vendors failed. Once we connected with Bant we could see the difference and responses within 1 month of engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The dashboard could be more better. Also a lot of attention is required to the content of the emails that go out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bant.io has been an efficient lead generation solution for our company. Over the last 12 months we have acquired nearly 20K new leads for markets throughout the United States. Bant.io worked with us to refine our ideal lead characteristics, SIC code, and industry to ensure we were targeting the right markets and potential leads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bant.io is does require direct attention during the initial set up and for the first several months. Initially, you need to be involved in the content development to ensure that the language of the emails is reflective of your company and brand. For the first several months, we also had to closely monitor the leads and their classifications to ensure that Bant.io was sending his leads that were in a relevant industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the things that first struck me was the no-BS, realistic approach – we were pretty jaded after a recent experience with a different lead generation company and most companies we spoke to seem to over-promise without any real knowledge of our marketplace/industry. Bant were transparent about how their platform works and the learning curve required to find an effective approach – this, and the fact they came recommended by a long-term partner company – reassured us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No demo or trial period. Initially this seemed a bit suspicious – if their solution is so effective, why can’t they prove it works to us before we commit? – although once we had gone through set-up I understood the amount of work and time that goes into onboarding clients. Now, any company that offers to jump in and start generating leads immediately without any research or preparation sends up a massive red flag! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Strategy of sending an emails is really nice. We have used similar approaches to set up campaigns outside of bant.io. The Campaign has changed significantly upon request when thing went wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The campaign has started before all emails and details were confirmed by us, this caused to sending out a significant number of irrelevant emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The amount of leads generated and the quality were great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Difficult communication with account manager, lots of misunderstandings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The onboarding was quick and thorough. Bant listened carefully to understand our business model and had some great suggestions for filling our sales funnel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I caught a few typos in the LinkedIn messages that went out. I brought it to my Bant rep's attention and it was quickly fixed. I think it would be better for more communications in reviewing messaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
