Don’t Take Our Word For It

Take a look at what our clients have to say:

Laura Morrison, DDC Outsourcing Solutions (www.ddcos.com)
“The Seed.com was recommended to us by a client 4 months ago. So far, I have found the leads to be generally of very high quality, and I like the fact that all of the leads are verified before they are delivered to us. Also, as we provide a wide range of outsourcing solutions, it's important for us to be able to get leads for all our lines of service. I would not hesitate to recommend The Seed.com to my colleagues and business contacts.”

Tony Attoe of Documan UK (http://www.docu-man.co.uk)
In the past we have spent thousands of pounds on advertising without ever being sure of the success of our campaigns. I can recall one example where we paid £2000 for an advertisement in a magazine and never received a single enquiry. A ROI of zero! With The Seed, we only pay for the genuine business enquiries we receive, so not only is the cash outlay lower, but we can easily track the success of the campaign and effectively calculate the return on our spending. Branching out into a new sector is a risky time for any business, so to receive ten genuine enquiries in the first three days was fantastic. The Seed really does help small businesses like us to boost their web presence and the fact that we only pay for the leads we receive makes The Seed far more cost effective then any other method of marketing we have tried.

Kate Elkington of The Pay Zone Bureau (the-pay-zone.com)
"We have been using The Seed for about 5 months now. We are very happy with the service. So far we have had some good results.

The quality of the leads does vary considerably and we do get a few timewasters. However, we accept this because amongst those are some top quality leads that make it all worthwhile. We have picked up many new customers as a result of leads from The Seed. I would say we are currently converting around 15% of the leads we receive into new customers. Plus, we have lots of proposals currently pending so hope to pick up a few more!

If I was to look at what we have spent on leads and what we have got back in terms of new business I would say that The Seed offers much better ROI than our previous forms of advertising/marketing. What I don't like about most forms of marketing is you pay a lot of money and there is no guarantee of success. For instance, I can think of one particular advertising campaign we did where we spent several hundred pounds upfront and didn't got a single lead! At least with The Seed you get guaranteed results for your money as well as monitor the results achieved . We will be reducing the amount spent on other forms of advertising/marketing and continue using The Seed."

Stephen Boyles of All Things Print (www.allthingsprint.co.uk)
“We have been associated with 'The Seed' since January 2006 and have built an excellent working relationship. Like all new arrangements there is a settling in period when minor problems are resolved but unlike other companies that court your business then forget you 'The Seed' are responsive and always know who they are talking to when you call up, I'm pleased to say the old adage of 'after sales service' is very much alive.

The quality of leads is generally good and with all leads checked before being passed on for authenticity you can be reassured they are credible. I have tried other companies offering a similar service but none match 'The Seed'.

My simple comparison is against the cost of a representative, compare that with the unit price of each lead. How many leads (quotes) would you expect that person to generate and how much would that cost you as a company, no contest!

If those quotes are translated into jobs is down to your company’s price structure but I'm more than happy with the current 42% of quotes that become live jobs, it's down to us as a company to improve on that, and we will.”

Steve Sullivan of Rocket Mailing Ltd (www.rocketmailing.co.uk)
“As a medium-sized, well-established direct mail company, we enjoy a successful business, but wanted to become more visible to clients that enquire about our services on the net.  Although Yellow Pages and other directories are useful we knew that potential clients were turning to the web more and more and we wanted them to find us.  After registering with The Seed, Levi Strauss and the The Mean Fiddler Group contacted us. Winning such well established clients is a massive coup – that initial investment in registering was one of the best business decisions we ever made.”

Steve Peak of Badges Plus Ltd (www.badgesplus.co.uk)
“The Seed is hassle-free and cost-effective. A salesperson costs in the region of £30,000 with a salary and car package. The majority of their time is spent generating new business leads, with no guarantee of any of them converting into a sale – that’s a huge overhead. With The Seed, I only pay for each new lead, with no large overheads. It’s failsafe.”

Steve Rushton, SR Print Management Ltd (www.srpm.co.uk)
“The fact that this has a guaranteed Return On Investment is what makes it so valuable to me. I pay a set amount for leads, and this directly equates to a certain amount in converted orders. You can keep track of exactly how much you have made in relation to your outlay, and those results are extremely pleasing.”

John Dorwood, Matrix Document Solutions Ltd:
“I have to admit, I was more than a little dubious when I heard about The Seed, it sounded way too good to be true. I decided to take advantage of the £20 free introductory offer to see what happened, and to make a decision based on that. I got three free leads, and I never looked back. I topped up my account immediately, and have continued to buy month after month. I get a consistent number of leads every month, and I now plan my business around the number of leads I receive. It really was a win-win situation.”
