Real Good GTM vs Belkins
Belkins is a large, proven appointment-setting agency built for volume. Real Good GTM is a two-person, signal-based, founder-led team. Different buyers, and we will say which is which.

We wrote this, and we are one of the two options. We do not declare ourselves the winner. Belkins wins outright for high-volume appointment setting at scale, and every Belkins fact here is verified on its own site or a named review platform.
Different sizes, different jobs
This is not a like-for-like fight. Belkins is a large, established agency built to book meetings at volume. Real Good GTM is two founders running signal-based outbound for early-stage teams. Pick by your stage.
A high-volume appointment-setting agency since 2017, with a large SDR team, packages tied to appointment count, and 1,000+ clients across 50+ industries. Proven, and built for volume.
Two founders doing the work, triggered by real buying signals instead of a static list. Month to month, no lock-in, and you keep the system. Not built for enterprise-scale volume.
- ✓You are seed to early Series A and pre-scale
- ✓You want the two founders doing the work
- ✓You want signal-based outbound, not a list blast
- ✓You want to keep the system, no lock-in
- ✓You want proven high-volume appointment setting
- ✓You have the budget for a full SDR team
- ✓You want a long public track record and reviews
- ✓You need coverage across many industries
The honest short version. If you need a proven machine to book a high volume of meetings and you have the budget, Belkins is the safer, more-established choice. If you are early, want founders in the work, and want outbound timed to real signals, that is our slice. More on both below.

What each one actually is
Real Good GTM
A two-person GTM agency for seed to early Series A B2B startups. The two founders do the work, with no junior handoff. Outbound is triggered by real buying signals, a new hire, a funding round, a product change, not a static title list. You get booked meetings plus a clear read on who actually buys, and you keep the system that produced them. Paris-based, serving the US and Europe primarily.

What each one is built for
A capability check, scored the same way for both. A grey mark is not a knock, it is a design choice: these two are built at different scales for different buyers.
| Capability | Real Good GTM | Belkins |
|---|---|---|
| High-volume appointment setting | Limited small by design | ✓ its core |
| Founders do the work | ✓ no handoff | No SDR team |
| Signal-based targeting | ✓ the whole model | ✓ intent data too |
| Omnichannel (email, LinkedIn, calling) | Limited email-led | ✓ full omnichannel |
| Cold calling team | ✕ | ✓ intent calling |
| You keep the system after | ✓ by design | Ask agency-run |
| Month to month, no lock-in | ✓ after 2 months | Ask retainer terms |
| Long public track record | ✕ new agency | ✓ since 2017 |
| Independent review base | ✕ none yet | ✓ 230+ on Clutch |
| Coverage across many industries | Limited focused, B2B | ✓ 50+ industries |
| Direct founder access | ✓ always | Limited large team |
"Limited" means available but not a core strength, and "Ask" means confirm it directly. A grey mark is a scope decision, not a flaw. Belkins is built for scale, we are built for early-stage focus.
What the reviews say
Belkins has a long public review record, checked July 2026. We do not, yet, and we will not invent one. Here is both sides, straight.
Real Good GTM
The honest version: we are a new, two-person agency. We do not have a credible independent sample on Clutch, G2, or Trustpilot to show, so we show no score rather than a thin or self-serving one.
What we point to instead: the client logos we work with and the pipeline built inside those companies. Ask us on a call and we will introduce you to founders we have worked with.
Belkins
Praised for: booking meetings with real decision-makers, professional and communicative account teams, and often exceeding the appointment count in the package. A top-5 provider on Clutch's global 1,000 list.
Worth knowing: it is a large agency, so the day-to-day is run by an account team rather than the founders, and pricing is quote-only. Read recent reviews on the live links.
Read this honestly. On third-party proof, Belkins wins clearly: it has hundreds of verified reviews and years of history, and we have neither yet. If a long public track record is what you need to feel safe, that points to Belkins, and we would rather say so than fake a score. The live links are the source of truth as totals move.
How they actually differ
Six things separate these two in practice. Each has a clear edge somewhere, and it depends entirely on your stage.
Scale and volume
Edge: BelkinsIf the goal is a high volume of booked meetings, Belkins is built for exactly that. It has run appointment setting since 2017 with a large SDR team, packages tied to appointment count, and 1,000+ clients across 50+ industries. Real Good GTM is two people by design, so we cap the number of accounts we run at once. On raw output capacity, this is Belkins' home turf, and we would not pretend otherwise.
Who actually does the work
Edge: Real Good GTMWith us, the two founders do the work. There is no junior handoff and no account manager between you and the people building the campaigns. At a large agency like Belkins, a dedicated team runs the day-to-day, which is what makes the volume possible, but it is a different experience from having the principals on the tools. If founder-level attention matters more than headcount, that is our edge.
How targets are chosen
Different approachBoth do more than blast a raw list. Belkins works a defined ICP at volume and layers in intent data across email, LinkedIn, and calling. Real Good GTM waits for a specific buying signal, a new hire, a funding round, a product change, and reaches out on the back of it. One optimizes for coverage and meeting count, the other for reaching fewer accounts at a better moment. Neither is wrong, they suit different motions.
Proof and track record
Edge: BelkinsBelkins has a deep public record: 4.9 on Clutch across 230 reviews, 4.8 on G2, and a top-5 spot on Clutch's global 1,000 list. Real Good GTM is new, so our proof today is client logos and pipeline built inside those companies, not a large review base or detailed public case studies yet. If you need years of independent proof before you sign, that clearly favors Belkins.
Commitment and what you keep
Edge: Real Good GTMWe start with two months, then go month to month with no lock-in, and the system we build is yours to keep running after we stop. Belkins sells monthly retainer packages, which is standard for an agency of its size, so confirm the term length and what you retain if you leave. If flexibility and owning the machine matter to you, that is our edge, but ask Belkins directly rather than assume.
Best-fit stage
Depends on youReal Good GTM is built for seed to early Series A B2B startups still figuring out who buys and why. Belkins fits teams that already know their ICP and want a proven engine to book meetings at scale, and its $1,000-plus minimum on Clutch is accessible while its packages reward larger commitments. If you are pre-scale, we are the closer fit. If you are ready to pour on volume, Belkins is.

Belkins does not publish prices; packages are tied to appointment volume and priced after a call. Its Clutch profile lists a $1,000-plus minimum project size. Confirm current terms with Belkins directly.
How to think about it. Belkins is priced around appointment volume, so a bigger commitment buys more meetings, which is the right shape if you want scale and can budget for a full agency engagement. Real Good GTM is a focused, founder-led engagement priced per scope, with a short two-month start and no lock-in, so the risk of trying it is lower but the ceiling on raw volume is too. Match the model to whether you want scale or focus.
The honest fit, both ways
We are not the right answer for everyone, and we will say when Belkins is. Here is the straight read on who each one suits.
- ✓You are a seed to early Series A B2B startup
- ✓You want the two founders in the work, not a junior team
- ✓You are still learning who buys and why, and want that read
- ✓You want signal-based outbound and a system you keep
- ✓You want to start small, month to month, with no lock-in
- ✓You want proven, high-volume appointment setting at scale
- ✓You already know your ICP and want to pour on volume
- ✓You need a large SDR team across many channels
- ✓You want years of public reviews and case history
- ✓You have budget for a full agency engagement
The real question is scale versus stage. Belkins is the stronger, safer choice when you want a proven machine to book meetings at volume and have the budget and ICP clarity to feed it. Real Good GTM is the closer fit when you are early, want the founders doing signal-based work, and want to keep the system without a long contract. If you sit right on the line, book a fit check and we will tell you honestly which way to go.
Our take, said plainly
We publish this and we are one of the options, so here is the honest call in three common situations.
If you know your ICP and want a proven engine to book a high number of appointments across channels, Belkins is the better-established choice. That is what its team and track record are built for, and we are not.
At seed to early Series A, when you want founders working real signals, a read on who actually buys, and a system you keep, that is our slice. Small on purpose, month to month, no lock-in.
Many teams start founder-led to find what works, then hand a proven motion to a volume shop like Belkins later. Do the learning first, pour on scale once the signal is clear.
Not sure which side of the line you are on? We run signal-based outbound for early-stage teams and will tell you straight.
