''Offering advice in the almost unmanageable world of online marketing today means swimming in a huge pond of competitors all shouting "Look how great we are!" shout. The fact that I perceived Straight-Up as a high-quality and promising provider in this pond was a first step. The second hurdle was our first personal contact on the phone. As an experienced voice and communication coach, it was clear that I not only paid attention to the factual side of your offers, but especially to the quality of contact. And rarely have I felt so well looked after in an acquisition meeting. Ultimately, however, it's all about results when working together. And the results are impressive. Your processes are set up perfectly, the team is first-class and the weekly consultation appointments are always on point. You have my 5-star recommendation.''

''After networking on LinkedIn, I was contacted and invited to a free informational interview. I was interested in how StraightUp performs and whether they could "pick me up". I was also curious to see whether I would gain new insights in the context of the fast-moving changes in digitalization. Jay provided interesting approaches in our initial meeting, which prompted me to work with him and his team on a proof of concept to expand my range of services with LinkedIn Ads. I can say that the entire team around Jay does a very professional job, provides inspiration and challenges my conceptual creativity in a goal-oriented way. Thank you for the very empathetic cooperation at eye level!''

"I came across StraightUp through a personal letter and am very grateful to have got to know this young team behind Jakov Gushchin. Despite the distance and the contact, which was exclusively via video conferencing, the communication was optimal. I was regularly informed about the progress and always got answers to my questions. Jakov is extremely good at empathizing with the target groups on social media and therefore finds the optimal words to address the right people. He and his team think outside the box and develop concepts and campaigns with great care. With StraightUp, I have found a reliable partner in the field of social media marketing."

"In these fast-moving times, where so much is constantly changing, it is very important for me to keep up with the times. Reaching my fans, but also appealing to new, inquisitive people, is a key concern for me. That's why I decided to work with Jakov and his dynamic StraightUp team. StraightUp advised me on all the details, designed a customized social media concept for me and implemented it quickly. As a result, we were able to reach new interested parties and help many, because that is my primary goal as a doctor. I can only recommend taking the step towards professional social media marketing."

Client interview: 2 major contracts within 90 days as a management consultant

"2 major orders in less than 90 days"

So far we have acquired 14 new customers, and that's just the beginning!

"The start of the coronavirus pandemic has changed a lot for me. I was looking for solutions on how to approach qualified new customers online and that's how I came across you. I was skeptical at first, as it was completely new territory for me. After some persuasion from Jakov, I decided to work with you and I still don't regret it today! The first goal was to acquire the first 3 customers. We won them after a short time thanks to your strategies. Then came the next and the next, until it developed into a genuine new customer acquisition process that can be planned and, above all, that I have control over."

“Dear Jay, thank you very much for your great support over the last few months. The master class is a comprehensive program on marketing, sales and mindset, based on extensive video training and a wide variety of templates for adapting the methods. I was able to adopt many useful recommendations for my company and advance sales. The sales training courses are particularly helpful and we are now getting many more new customers than before. We are not at the end yet and there is still a lot to DO. I look forward to it!"

''The first meeting with Jay convinced us with his many interesting ideas. In the course of working with StraightUp, we learned how to develop and set up successful Linkedin campaigns. The learning platform with many videos on storytelling and technical implementation was very helpful - a good format to benefit from StraightUp's expertise in the long term. The weekly workshops were also always helpful. We were able to put our campaigns up for discussion and get tips on implementation - also from other participants. Overall, we are very satisfied and were able to successfully generate contacts/leads on Linkedin.''

Systematized growth from 5 to 15 employees as IT service manager within 36 months

If you open any social media platform these days, you're literally overwhelmed by so-called online marketing gurus. I'm really glad I chose Straight-Up right away for the following reason: the initial contact and the way Jay and his team deal with their customers is first class. The success of their clients comes first.
No matter what topic you have questions about, you always get an honest opinion. The weekly calls are an absolute added value, simply because you learn so much, whether professionally or privately. I can recommend StraightUp with a clear conscience.

Jay Gushin ist ein echter digitaler Marketing- und Vertriebsguru der Extraklasse. Mit seiner Hilfe und der Hilfe seines StraightUp-Teams waren wir endlich in der Lage, einen systematischen Ansatz für unseren Vertrieb zu entwickeln und umzusetzen. Ich mag die Denkweise von Jay und StraightUp, sie basiert auf ihrer jahrelangen Erfahrung. Jetzt sehen wir, dass es nicht notwendig ist, potenzielle Kunden (Leads) zu drängen und sie zu zwingen, etwas zu tun. Man kann es auch anders machen, um eine Umsatzsteigerung zu erreichen. Mir gefällt dieser Ansatz sehr gut :)''

“Although we have marketing and sales in-house, we have been working with StraightUp for over a year and are happy to have taken this step. StraightUp really does a lot of the work for us here by using creative and new ideas to show us shortcuts that we would otherwise only have come up with through independent trial and error. Thanks to our joint partnership, we have now been able to achieve great sales targets and are already looking forward to the next successful year.”

''We've been working with Jay and his great team for almost a year now ... and it's really paid off so far.
What I particularly appreciate: The entire structured setup with mostly short videos that can be implemented immediately and provide a real transfer of know-how. Plus the 3 weekly online sessions, where you can work directly on your own process and optimize it. Plus the valuable feedback from other participants, which corresponds to real customer feedback. It's fun and generates new leads almost every day. Both thumbs up.''

"As a tech start-up, we were courted by various advertising agencies. In the end, a simple conversation with Jay made our decision easy. What I liked back then was the proactive approach to concept proposals and ideas even before we started working together. Through the partnership with Jay and the StraightUp team, we had a successful market entry with our product both nationally and internationally. Through the digital sales processes, we have managed to systematically generate numerous high-quality customer inquiries and inspire countless people worldwide with our product."

''From influencer with a lot of reach to power woman with real impact
"Through the joint partnership with StraightUp, I have not only succeeded in implementing highly efficient marketing and sales processes, but also in finding a partner that I can trust one hundred percent and who provides me with the highest level of entrepreneurial advice. Together, we worked out concepts to deliver even more added value to my loyal followers and developed a digital product based on these ideas. In the end, there was some testing to see what the right sales strategy was. When this was found, I realized what predictable new customer acquisition really means."
