## PersistIQ Reviews
  ### 1. Disappointing Service and Lack of Accountability

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** JASON P.

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2026

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

The solution sounded great, they manage the process for you and send to an agreed target list every month, and potential clients get 3 emails. The initial setup was easy because they handle it.

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

I had a bad experience with PersistIQ. We agreed to sign off on the mailing lists, but after the first month, they just went and emailed their own list anyway. They didn't deliver on the SOW and refused to refund us.

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use PersistIQ for direct mailing, as it uses AI to manage emailing clients from a target list.

  ### 2. Significant Investment with Zero Results: Would Not Recommend

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Joe C. | Strategic Advisor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 04, 2025

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

I like the idea of PersistIQ where it automates outreach to potential targets but an idea is where it stays positive for me

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

We've engaged PersistIQ to support our cold email outreach efforts, hoping for qualified leads and meaningful client introductions. Despite sending thousands of emails over multiple campaigns, the results have been incredibly disappointing. Specifically, from over 5,500 emails sent, we have yet to secure even one positive response or successful meeting.

While the PersistIQ team was responsive initially, the actual strategy and execution consistently failed to resonate with our target market. This resulted not only in wasted investment and resources but also a noticeable risk to our brand reputation due to negative recipient feedback.

Given the cost, expectations, and promises made by PersistIQ, the inability to secure even a single productive lead or qualified conversation is alarming. I cannot in good faith recommend their service to other professional firms seeking genuine engagement and measurable results from email outreach campaigns.

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

PersistIQ is intended to solve the challenge of consistent, targeted outreach through automated cold email campaigns, simplifying lead generation processes, and helping businesses efficiently manage large-scale email communications.

In theory, this would benefit us by streamlining our outbound efforts, increasing our visibility among potential clients, and providing a structured method to generate qualified leads for our services. However, in our specific experience, these intended benefits were unfortunately not realized.

  ### 3. Persist IQ, A game changer for effective lead generation

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Derek  P. | Partner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2025

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

Persists ability to automate the sales process and streamline our outreach is an amazing engagement tool to engage prospective clients. It was super easy to set-up and the customer support was incredible.

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

Nothing was wrong with it but it just wasnt for our particular business.

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Persist IQ was able to create personalized email campaigns, tracking responses and following-up with prospects immediately. I loved its ability to track performance of campaigns and individual outreach efforts to optimize results.

  ### 4. Excellent meeting booking via email marketing to support a small team

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Logistics and Supply Chain | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 26, 2025

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

This was incredibly useful to turn on as needed to support the needs of a small team, especially in more niche areas where we did not have internal resouces available to focus on.

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

It takes some time to set up and occasionally their human agents will book meeting with unsuitable customers

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Persist allows us to focus our efforts on our core areas while allowing Persist to continue to target more niche areas

  ### 5. Zero ROI - Terrible Results

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tyler H. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 01, 2024

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

We hired PersistIQ to do an outbound cold email campaign for lead generation. The min contract was 6 months and after thousands of email we landed 3 meetings. The SDR lost leads because they responded poorly and the email scripts were garbage. We asked to cancel the contract after 3 months for poor performance and they refused. If you're looking to sink $10k just use your toilet.

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

They don't take accountability for not generating results they sold us on that they would create.

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They kelts trying new scripts that were too wordy, not on point and offered no value.

  ### 6. Great business partnership and marketing experience

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Eve  B. | Director of business development, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 11, 2024

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

We work with a very specific audience, and the campaigns they have managed for us have booked over 30 meetings with target companies, leading to new deals for our company and significant business growth! This has been our best outbound effort so far, we would have never generated this amount of traction for our company without PersistIQ, and now our brand is generating more visibility with these key game players.

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

There is nothing we can say we dislike, we are very hands-on with our outbound efforts, so we get very involved. The PersistIQ team has been patient and professional walking us through every single step of the process.

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Automating our call email campaigns, managing the email campaigns and monitoring all the replies

  ### 7. PersistIQ’s outreach campaign helped us book meetings with prospects!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 09, 2024

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

PersistIQ has booked over many appointments for us with target companies in the past months.

PersistIQ curated email prospect lists tailored to our target audience. Their copywriting team crafted a cold email campaigns, incorporating multiple variations to experiment and pinpoint the most effective messaging for our prospects. Additionally, they assigned an account manager and a dedicated sales representative to oversee and manage the entire campagn process.

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

Nothing that I've seen yet - the platform and team are great!

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our company is using PersistIQ’s fully-managed service to run cold email outreach campaigns, write email copy, build prospect lists, and set appointments with decision makers using their SDR service.

  ### 8. Fantastic Experience

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Diego A. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2024

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

What I liked the most was the promptitude with which they could adapt to a new industry and find better leads. It was very easy to communicate with the team, and I was constantly followed up on how our campaigns were performing.

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

I think there's nothing I actually dislike; at the beginning, as this was a new industry for them, we didn't find quality leads, but after the first feedback, they were fast enough to fix this, and we started to have incredible options. So even what seemed a weakness became a strength because they solved it as fast as possible.

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

PersistIQ is finding new clients with whom I can work around the world.

  ### 9. Deceptive sales practices, zero performance/results

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chris M. | Marketing Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2024

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

Unfortunately, there isn't much to report here.

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

To put it very simply, they indicated that we should expect around 10 appointments per month. So far, we haven't gotten a single positive reply to any of the thousands of emails they've sent on our behalf. The sales person we spoke with, who was operating under a totally different company name, indicated that we would be able to revisit our agreement in the event of this poor performance. Unfortunately, they have been unwilling to let us out of the remainder of our agreement.

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They were supposed to get appointments and leads for us. We have not had a single positive reply to an email, much less a meeting or opportunity.

  ### 10. Excellent Service, People and Business Conversion!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** cory m. | Chief Curator / Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2024

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

There are so many things I appreciate about this program. The staff working with me were excellent in guiding me on the program, strengths, process and realistic results by participating.

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

It can sometimes be frustrating to see how there are "hits and misses" at different times, even though the same attributes were being used. It made it a bit of a challenge to know what I should be adjusting or changing to the success path.

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bringing potential clients to the table - and showing me where the sweet spot of my market is. I have been able to more closely focus on targeting my business to the appropriate customers and what I should be playing into.

  ### 11. Consistent leads week over week

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 19, 2024

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

Once they started scheduling calls with leads for us, they kept delivering week over week.

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

So far it has been good, nothing I can think of.

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our team doesn't have the time to go out and contact thousands of people to find the few who will be interested in continuing the conversation. Persist has helped us focus our team's efforts and time on warm leads which has led to more closed deals.

PersistIQ has proven to be an invaluable asset in our outbound sales endeavors since the campaign's launch on August 29th.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Taylor G. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 13, 2023

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

The team working with Persist is the best part of the software, besides the waterfall of leads and business that we have received as a result of using it. I have recommended it to countless clients and connections since starting with them. Easy to use, easy to make your own with copy, and it really does all of your cold calling for you.

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

You do have to have time to commit to meetings and connections. The bookings will come, so be prepared. It's a time commitment.

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I get leads generating for me without the need for cold calling. I'm connecting directly with clients that have problems that need solving.

  ### 22. Affordable & User-Friendly Sales Engagement Tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Isham K. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2023

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

The quality of the leads has been extremely high. I've been surprised by the relevance of the leads and resulting conversations. The ease of startup and execution has been stellar. The sales development representative is extremely professional and thorough.

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

Not applicable to my situation. I have not experienced any downsides.

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Finding relevant individuals to discuss our solutions in a narrow space. There are usually significant barriers to overcome (gatekeepers) and PersistIQ is helping us overcome them effortlessly.

  ### 23. Was unfortunately dissapointed

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Joe H. | Co-Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 01, 2023

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

Although this was a failure for us, the staff was friendly and outgoing.

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

I was extremely optimistic starting with PersistIQ. They did a great demo, said all the right things, countered any  doubt I had but ultimately this was a dissapointing failure for us. After 5 months and $10k+ spent, they booked us 5 demos with accounts that were not a good fit. I really wanted this to work and be a consistent lead generation avenue for us but did not pan out.

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The problem was lead generation but unfortunately they were unable to solve it.

  ### 24. One Successful Campaign

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2023

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

It's nice that it's a 'set it and forget it' type of partnership. They do the heavy lifting of chasing contacts and confirming times to meet. They've set consistently 1-5 meetings per month on one specific campaign which has had great results.

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

The list pulls are questionable and usually have to be revised many times. I think the cost is really high for inconsistency among campaigns. One of our campaigns has done really well, and some of the other campaigns have had zero responses.

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Persist offers different level of service and we take advantage of the full service option where they act as a member on your team to email and set meetings for your team members.

  ### 25. Persist IQ for the win

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brad W. | COO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 02, 2024

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

They have been responsive and have produced quality leads that have converted to clients.

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

Had an issue with the emails going out to potential customers in the beginning that had font mismatch that needed to be corrected, and I had to inquire for it to be fixed several times.  I wanted to emails to look more professional and mix/match fonts and different sizes were an issue.  No other issues really.  Communication has been prompt and often.

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bringing new business to our company

  ### 26. Persist IQ has been a very valuable asset to our company!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Yoshi W. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 24, 2023

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

I greatly appreciate how consistent our copywriter, Anna has been at replying and managing our emails and prospects. She's been very communicative with us as well as our customers!

In addition, Mireya and John have been very helpful members of our team. We asked persist IQ to work slightly outside of their primary wheelhouse, and they've been nothing but malleable in the construction and ideation of our Business to Consumer campaign.

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

I've got nothing negative to say. Even the software is fantastic to use for myself.

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Persist IQ is sending and following up on the emails we couldn't manage as a small business. Being able to help direct and reply to customers, as well as setting us appointments that would take hours from our sales team.

  ### 27. The worst company and no results, just takes your money.  SCAMMERS - Stay away from this company.

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 19, 2023

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

They start with great customer service and then disappear.  They are a horrible company and I do not recommend them.  They only scam people and offer horrible contacts that result in no results.  What a joke!

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

They only hurt the business with horrible results and companies opting out, not interested.  What a waste of time and money.  They refused to send the monthly leads according to their statement of work, did not respond to emails, and ignored my requests.  I can't tell you how much this company scams businesses.  I would NOT recommend using them.

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I was hoping they would be able to start generating leads and get companies to contact me.  They started out really nice and uploaded emails after about three weeks.  I had to pay for the full month with no results.  I thought I would see some responses from the emails but I only received horrible results.  They didn't offer any solutions, only ignored my requests.  I paid for the second month and never received any new leads, they only continued to send emails to the same emails in the list.  This only further caused more negative replies.  They are not professional and do not have any ideas to fix the issue and only state that they have proven results.  

This company only takes your money and does not provide any results.  They will not allow you to cancel.  This is such a scam!  

I do not recommend using them for anything.

PersistIQ’s team is booking about 20 appointments per month for us with the right decision-makers in our target audience. A good number of prospects have turned into paying customers. I am sure many more will be added to this list.

The whole team has been excellent to work with throughout the process.

Everything has been good so far. Both the platform and team are excellent!

Using  PersistIQ for our outreach campaigns has been great, not only for the easy to use platform but also for the team of experts who are always willing to help and make recommendations based on their email marketing industry experience.

They have been booking high quality calls with prospects for us and generated a strong ROI.

I love that week by week I receive campaign stats, work summary, next steps and recommendations for optimizing the campaigns, so great at communicating!

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

I can't say I dislike something in specific, just looking forward to get more AI integrated as they started to do it months ago.

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Working with other platforms was kind of difficult and PersistIQ is a very friendly platform. The onboarding process is great!

**Reviewed Date:** December 19, 2023

nothing I can think of, they are nice people but unprofessional

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

They took a cut and paste approach to managing my account
everything that they provided was at a basic-poor quality and needed much refinement work on my side- prospect lists, and messaging. their communication is lacking and the platform is not intuitive to use

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Savannah S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2023

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

We started seeing results with our cold email outreach campaign within the first week after it was launched. And the campaign has continued to book meetings with qualified leads week after week.

Their team is super helpful, quick to respond, and provides us with the details we need on each of the leads that they book meetings for us.

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

Nothing that I've found - I love it so far!

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We’ve been working with PersistIQ to run email outreach campaigns, build targeted lead lists, and book meetings with decision makers using their outbound sales solution.

They have booked tons of meetings for us with targeted leads.

  ### 36. Amazing sales outreach solution that has booked us dozens of meetings!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mary M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 09, 2023

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

PersistIQ has booked dozens of meetings for us with key decision-makers at financial services providers and insurers.

The team quickly got to work on all the information we provided about our solution and target audience,  created campaigns and lead lists that matched our Ideal Customer Profiles, and used A/B testing to find the most effective messaging and prospect lists.

The SDRs are fast and on point. They book meetings directly on our calendar, it is easy for us to have the full scope of who we’re meeting with and what they’re interested in.

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

Nothing - the platform and team are amazing!

We experimented with the target audience options and were quick to realize where our focus needed to be.

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We’ve deployed  PersistIQ’s fully-managed service to run sales outreach campaigns, write email copy, build lead lists, and book meetings with decision-makers using their SDR service.  Saves us an enormous amount of time and human resources.  Their name is appropriate -- they persist until they get obtain a sales meeting.  We're backlogged with proposals to get out.  Nice problem.

  ### 37. Horrible Customer Service and User Experience

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 04, 2023

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

Helps with reachouts if the software is working and has no issues which are frequent

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

The customer service is horrible, responses take days if you get a response at all. I attempted to reach out to leadership multiple times and even then they took days (10+) to respond to any concerns. The software is down many weeks with connection errors and no response from the team - they need to forward all requests "to the team" then good luck getting a follow up without having to message them again

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Just streamlining reachouts -

  ### 38. The outreach software is basic compared to others. Their copywriting service has a very low ROI

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jeremy B. | Senior Partner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 23, 2022

**What do you like best about PersistIQ?**

Not much. You can see the numbers going out with open rates and replies. 

It is automated, and there is a flow that you can set up. Outside of that, it does not differentiate it from any other tools.

**What do you dislike about PersistIQ?**

If you are thinking of using their internal copywriting and email campaign service, here is what I have gone through:

I was told their copywriters were well versed in my industry; I spent more time providing data and information on what they should be focusing on, outside of giving them the company website with all the information.

They state there is a 2-3 week turnaround for new changes in email campaign messages. The response time is prolonged. So if you have a low-producing campaign, you could have gone through 2 months before you even see potential changes to approve.

Even after providing information to include in the messages, after they asked that I give an offer for my services to get more replies, they did not use anything in the messages they sent.

I was sold that I would not have to worry about anything and prepare for a couple of appointments they would schedule for the company a week. They stated they were professionals who understood the messaging needed to gain interest to communicate and get 2-3 expected weekly meetings with leads. In 3 and a half months, only three appointments were set.

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Lead generation and appointment setting. The intent is to have professional copywriters message email campaigns to generate interest for future discussions on the organization's services to help alleviate their issues.

  ### 39. A ton of appointments

Nothing - the platform and team are incredible!

**What problems is PersistIQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**
