Overview

Ermetic’s founders first partnered with ViB shortly after launching the company in 2018. 

Ermetic is a software company that specializes in cloud infrastructure security, providing solutions to enforce and manage access permissions, reduce risks, and ensure compliance in cloud environments.

With only a handful of people covering global sales, the team needed support to scale business.  

As a young company with less brand awareness and limited proven success stories, they needed a startup-friendly solution that could help them secure their first few customers.

Bruce Gibson

AVP of Inside Sales, Ermetic

“If you’re looking to have a comprehensive approach, and find every place where there’s a potential for good conversations, then ViB is an excellent supplement to your sales program.”

ViB Solution

Using a brand agnostic approach to appointment setting, ViB created a custom landing page that promoted Ermetic’s solution within the massive ViB community. The page was pushed out to specific personas that fit Ermetic’s ideal buyer profile.

Because the startup was young and had little brand awareness in its competitive market, the brand agnostic landing page worked in Ermetic’s favor. 

Unlike typical B2B appointment setting services, ViB’s approach captured prospects who had real interest in the solution and weren’t concerned about branding.

ViB quickly delivered twice as many meetings as Ermetic’s small and busy internal team, freeing up sales leaders to build relationships and foster Ermetic’s explosive growth.

Benefits of ViB Appointments

  • Opt-in model using the ViB community
  • Brand agnostic to capture genuine solution interest
 

 

Extending impact with new leadership 

Then, when Bruce Gibson first came on board as the worldwide Director of Inside Sales, he nearly canceled ViB’s Appointment solution. He was building a team of Inside Sales reps and assumed the program was redundant. 

But, before pulling the plug, he analyzed the meetings ViB was delivering — and that’s when he discovered an impressively high ROI.

Gibson decided to keep the appointment setting program for another two months. 

Now, it’s been over a year since Gibson started, and ViB Appointments are still yielding tremendous results.

Dramatic Results

Today, ViB delivers higher opportunities to close than any other lead source (save for a few referrals). 

Now working as the Assistant Vice President of Inside Sales and leading a team of 25 people and growing, Gibson says he doesn’t necessarily need the volume — but the quality of the leads ViB delivers is where the real value lies.

"Supporting hypergrowth requires a truly comprehensive inside sales program. Business leaders are being pulled in a million directions and their inboxes are being inundated with messages from vendors competing for their time. VIB enables us to cut through the noise and meet these folks closer to where they want to be."​

Thanks to the appointment setting program, Ermetic can expand market reach, including people who don’t respond well to cold calls and cold emails

Additionally, ViB’s commitment to quality and getting it right help ViB Appointments outrank competing solutions.

Highlights from ViB Appointments

  • 50% lead-to-opportunity conversion rate
  • $100,000 average opportunity size
  • 20% higher opportunity size than internal sales or lead generation vendors

 

"There are tons of third-party companies that claim to be able to help you get meetings and qualify prospects. But, when you start working with them, you have to train their people — which is a huge time commitment, and the results aren’t guaranteed. But with ViB, we get to control everything the prospects see, so the message can’t get bungled. It’s our messaging and our qualification criteria. Plus, ViB appreciates its customers a lot more than what I’m used to. And they convert higher than any other lead source — they’re gold."
