What do you like best about Activated Scale?

Activated Scale helped me fill a huge gap in my knowledge. Being a builder, I always assumed that people would come if I built. But it's not that way. Even if you've built the right thing, it's necessary to help your audience realize it. And that entails listening to their pain, and crafting your message so that it resonantes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Activated Scale?

My partner at Activated Scale could have been more demanding and held me accountable to do the homework assignments I asked for. You want to learn, ya gotta do the homework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Activated Scale solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can't afford a full time sales rep, let alone a team. I needed to get whatever help I could, at the price I could afford. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Activated Scale?

Activated Scale is great because it gives sales people the opportunity to work fractional sales roles, that are paired with their industry experience, as well as their unique sales skill sets that Founders are seeking. Additionally, you potentially have the opportunity to gain full time employment with your fractional sales role. The Activated Scale marketplace is simple and easy to use, and working with Prateek has been an absolute pleasure! I started using Activated Scale about 1.5 years ago and have been with the same company that Prateek put me in touch with. If it were not for Prateek and his platform I would not be where I am today. I can't say enough good things about this platform and their services! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Activated Scale?

The only downside to using Activated Scale is that I have yet to meet Prateek in person! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Activated Scale solving and how is that benefiting you?

For me Activated Scale helped solve the problem of finding gainful employment when all the other traditional ways wewre not working. On the founders side, it is solving a need for start ups to quickly hire talent without long searches and ramp up periods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Activated Scale?

As a startup, I was looking for high-quality B2B Sales talent that I could hire without committing to a full-time contract. Activated Scale provided a high-quality marketplace where an enterprise sales pro got hand-picked to match my specific needs.

I wanted someone with experience selling to B2B marketers and I got exactly that. There's no way I would have been able to hire someone of that caliber so quickly, and without committing to a full-time contract.

As I didn't have sales experience, being guided by the Activated Scale team to choose the right person was so important to me.

Amazing quality of talent, amazing service, at a very reasonable price which led to me closing 2-3 large deals within just 1 month of bringing on my match. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Activated Scale?

I had to go through a few interviews to find the right person, but compared to any other process in hiring top talent it's negligible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Activated Scale solving and how is that benefiting you?

Activated Scale helped me close enterprise sales deals.

They helped me do that by providing an expert that knew my space inside out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Activated Scale?

One of the things I appreciate the most about Activated Scale is its personalized approach. Prateek takes his time to understand a company's unique needs to provide a tailored sales talent that aligns with the business goals of that company.

Activated Scale's attention to detail and commitment to delivering results distinguish them from other B2B service providers.

I am always matched with a great company whose goals I can easily exceed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Activated Scale?

As of yet, I haven't encountered any challenges or issues while working with Activated Scale. Prateek is highly responsive, professional, and attentive to my requirements, making my experience seamless and enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Activated Scale solving and how is that benefiting you?

Activated Scale addresses the pain point of finding top sales talent for growing companies, and their innovative model has been immensely beneficial for every business I've worked with. Thanks to their expertise, I have found a role that I genuinely enjoy and can see myself thriving in for years to come. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Activated Scale?

Activated Scale is the premier platform for tech sales experts to assist start-ups in their desired industries. I've consulted a few start-ups through Activated Scale and I thoroughly enjoyed partnering with founders to secure net-new opportunities. If you're an AE/AM and you want to earn extra income or expand your expertise in a new field, Activated Scale is the platform for you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Activated Scale?

There's an opportunity for growth in the area of discoverability among start-ups that need an experienced seller. Including a network of available jobs could help align sellers with the right start-up/founder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Activated Scale solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've been able to earn extra income while assisting start-ups with sales motions. Prospecting, booking meetings, and securing net-new deals for start-ups while earning extra income is a seller's dream! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Activated Scale?

Activated Scale has made it so easy for me to work with startups and founders looking for people with my skill set while still holding my full time sales role.

It's flexible and easy, and Prateek does a great job of matching both the founder and the seller based on skills, experience and availability.

I've worked with a few different companies and this has helped me keep my skills sharp and in some cases has allowed me to put my "consulting hat" on, which is something I don't get too much of a chance to do with my full time.

It's been great working with Prateek and I look forward to future engagements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Activated Scale?

I wouldn't say there have been any downsides of working with Prateek. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Activated Scale?

The sincerity and integrity of the ownership are readily apparent and give one comfort in making use of the services. The quality of the talent is really exceptional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Activated Scale?

The flexibility of contracts can swing both ways(I started with a great salesperson initially but he took a full time role in the middle of our expected engagement) but I don't necessarily see any disadvantage over a direct hire where the same thing is just as likely to happen, so this may not even be fair, but I really couldn't think of anything I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Activated Scale solving and how is that benefiting you?

The need for access to quality sales talent, without going through hiring hurdles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Activated Scale?

They provide a good choice of different candidates with various profiles (SDRs, AEs, etc.).

I also like the opportunity to pay fractional staff via credit card. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Activated Scale?

The platform itself is great. The problem is that fractional salespeople themselves aren't really committed to the new projects they take on. If you're still experimenting with your go-to-market strategy and processes - there's a chance you'd waste effort on fractional vs full time partners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Activated Scale solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were looking to hire and try working with fractional sales people to boost our sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I recomend Activated Scale often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Activated Scale?
