A Bit About Vendisys

What makes Vendisys' approach different from other lead generation methods?

And rather than wasting time on expensive, ineffective cold calling, we engage potential leads in meaningful email or LinkedIn conversations that get you meetings.

Here’s what those leads can do for your business:

  • Grow your sales funnel by up to 5X
  • Reach decision-makers up to 10X faster
  • Increase lead conversions by 2 – 10X
  • Shrink sales cycles by 20 – 80%
  • Accelerate time to market by 2 – 5X
  • Close deals up to 5X bigger
  • Boost ROI by 5 – 30X

How does your lead generation process work?


You can learn more about our five-step process by checking out how it works, but here’s the gist: First we work with you to develop an ROI model, a list of potential leads and messaging to engage them. Then we fire up our AI-powered lead prospecting tools, EMY and LIA, to seek out the right decision-makers, converting them into meeting-ready leads and delivering them to your inbox or CRM in real-time.

Do I need to give you a list of target companies or contacts?


If you have one, we’ll be sure to incorporate it, but you don’t need to give us anything. List development is an essential part of our process, so we work with you to define your target market and identify the right companies and contacts to reach out to.

How will you contact my target companies? Do you call them?


Never. We don’t do any cold calling or telemarketing, relying instead on targeted, compelling email and LinkedIn conversations designed to engage your prospects and get them excited to meet with you.

I want to meet with CEOs, CIOs or other high-level executives. Can you help?


Absolutely. We get you in front of the right decision-makers, whatever their title or level. Our clients regularly rely on us to reach VPs, Directors and C-level executives.

How much work will I have to do?


We’ll need about two hours of your time during our two-week setup period for list development, review and approval, plus messaging design and approval. Then we put EMY and LIA to work and start sending you PALs®. All that’s left for you to do is close deals.

What is a PAL®?


PAL® is short for Powerful Actionable Lead—powerful because these leads are influential decision-makers, and actionable because they come to you ready to take the next step. Learn more about the different types of PALs® by reading up on our solutions.

How do you generate PALs®?


Our cloud-based, AI-driven research and prospecting tools, EMY and LIA harnesses the power of search, social media, email and LinkedIn referrals to identify, engage and convert target decision-makers into your new PALs®.

What do PALs® look like?


When we say “powerful” and “actionable” we mean it. Here are a few actual PALs® we’ve delivered to our clients:
“I can do 2:30-3 EST on November 18th” – GE’s CIO

“Regarding your inquiry to Don Callahan, please contact me after December 10th to schedule an introductory discussion with me and my team.” – Citibank’s SVP of Architecture and Technology Engineering

“Your email to Meg Whitman was referred to me. I report to Gabi Zedlmayer, who leads HP Sustainability and Social Innovation. I would like to learn more about your organization to determine if it might be of interest to HP. Let me know what might work for you and we can make time in our calendars.” – HP’s Director of Environmental & Health Initiatives

When will I start receiving PALs® and having meetings?


Once EMY and LIA are and running, our clients start to receive PALs® within a few days—or even a few hours! You can typically expect to have conversations with your PALs® in one to two weeks.

Do you guarantee a certain number of PALs®?


We do. We let you know upfront how many PALs® to expect. If we don’t deliver, we’ll refund the difference.

How does your pricing work?


Our pricing model is of the risk-free, pay for performance variety. You only pay for the leads we deliver.
