​Mighty:
How Bandalier is helping an innovative SaaS company scale




Some healthy skepticism.

When Jack Serbin joined Mighty, an NYC-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) start-up, the team had already been working with Bandalier for several weeks. Mighty has built the only software for personal injury lien and letter of protection holders, and initially, Bandalier’s team was brought on to handle outbound lead generation. A team of two full-time inside sales associates would call legal offices and medical practices throughout the country to raise awareness about Mighty’s product. In the nine months since, Bandalier’s Mighty squad, which has grown to four, has worn many hats, handling everything from developing copy for marketing campaigns to customer success calls for Mighty’s existing database.

While the Bandalier team now works closely with Jack every day, he began his partnership with them skeptical of outsourced sales teams. “The word ‘outsourcing’ used to really worry me. I’m always very skeptical of outsourcing things, especially when you’re a small company just growing.”

Overcoming the hurdle.

Jack’s main concern was that an outsourced team wouldn’t be able to keep up with the constant changes and growth Mighty was undergoing, but his worries were soon alleviated. He points to three reasons why.

“One, we get great reps that we get access to all day, we have a direct line of communication,” says Jack. “With Bandalier we work so closely with the reps, we know the team so well, we even brought the team out to our office. I saw everybody and got to know the reps personally. I thought: ‘Wow, I’m actually much more comfortable in this type of relationship, it makes a lot more sense.’”

This close communication allows for Bandalier’s reps to keep pace with the Mighty office; the team regularly changes its everyday tasks, just as an in-house team might, based on changing company needs.

“Two, we’re an early stage startup, we’re pivoting things every day, and it’s nice to know that when we go to Bandalier the team actually pivots just as quickly as we can. So we’ve gone through 3 or 4 different iterations of different strategies with you guys, but every time it’s very quick. We get on the phone or we Slack (the team) and we can change what we’re doing pretty quickly without wasting much time, which has been great.”

A springboard to growth.

Jack’s final reason cuts to the core of Bandalier’s value proposition. Despite the physical distance between the two teams, Bandalier has provided Mighty with results that have helped the company expand.

“I think one of our biggest goals has been to increase… engagement, and since we began using Bandalier to communicate with firms and qualify potential customers, we’ve been growing so quickly; we’ve seen a lot more engagement, a lot more feedback from customers. Without the reps we just wouldn’t be able to grow as quickly as we are now. It’s really as simple as that.”
