Ziff Davis Performance Marketing - Revenue and Business Model
Perhaps more than any other B2B industry, the growth of lead generation companies is tied closely to the successes of their clients. As such, the Lead Generation 200 takes into account annual revenue growth rate (measured over the previous three years), number of employees, employee growth rate, business model, and top-of-funnel prospecting general services.

Ziff Davis Performance Marketing - Pricing
Ziff Davis Performance Marketing doesn’t reveal its pricing information on the company website, nor is there any indication on how the projects are priced. Therefore, prospective clients have to get in touch with the company sales representatives and obtain an accurate quote for their services. However, some customer reviews about Salesify and Demandshore, companies obtained by ZDPM, show that its services tend to be quite pricey.
Ziff Davis Performance Marketing Reviews
Although Ziff Davis Performance Marketing prides itself on being a globally recognized and successful lead generation company, it features only two client reviews on the website. They are also quite generic and don’t provide you with an insight into the company’s performance. Moreover, Ziff Davis Performance Marketing doesn’t have any credible reviews on the Internet, which can be a point of concern for its prospects. Since Ziff Davis Performance Marketing acquired two lead generation companies, Salesify and Demandshore, a few years ago, so potential customers can find some client feedback for those companies, including both positive and negative reviews.

"As of right now, I’m extremely happy with them. The quality has been great. I was a little bit worried at first, but the research that they’ve done to get up to speed with what our quality lead or client would be has been good. We filled out a lot of paperwork for them to do the research and learn, and they’ve done a really good job. I have zero complaints."
