The criticism below is the minority view and is worth weighing accordingly.
The pressure to join was intense. I have yet to see one lead that has been any good. I had very strong feelings about saying no, but the pressure was on.
Getting off to a faster start would have been better. However, Belkins made up for the slow start and showed they were committed to our success.
A few clients experienced challenges with Belkins not meeting the promised number of meetings or leads, and some have mentioned the need for greater transparency in reporting, particularly when initial results do not meet expectations.

You have a $10k+ monthly budget and want a full-service, research-intensive omnichannel partner across email, phone and LinkedIn, and can wait 60 to 90 days to ramp.
You want a LinkedIn specialist rather than an email-led generalist, a dedicated account branded as your business, a lower entry point, and a faster, more focused ramp.
Usually yes. Belkins typically starts around a $10,000 project minimum and full retainers run to $15k a month. Occura's entry point sits below those minimums. The trade-off is scope: Belkins is full omnichannel, Occura is a focused LinkedIn specialist.
Channel and focus. Belkins leads with cold email across an omnichannel mix and runs from its own infrastructure. Occura does LinkedIn only, on dedicated accounts branded as your business, with a human setter writing every message.
For larger companies wanting a full-service omnichannel program with a big dedicated team, yes. If you specifically want LinkedIn done well, at a lower entry point, branded as your business, Occura is the sharper fit.
Yes, but as one channel within an email-led mix, not as a specialism. Occura is LinkedIn-only, which is the difference if LinkedIn is where your buyers are.
