Orca 10x your email response rate with Linkedin profile visits and connects to get you noticed faster by leads.
Orca makes it easier for inside B2B sales reps get noticed by leads. Users can sequence social touches on Linkedin and other channels to complement email sequences.
One of the oldest rules of thumb about sales success is that the number of sales you make is directly proportional to the number of decision makers you can reach. However, reaching decision makers is getting harder because prospecting techniques like cold emailing are dying:
1. Email providers are getting better at detecting spam. Deliverability dropped 15% last year.
2. Cold emailing is overused, people are immune. Open and response rates have dropped.
3. GDPR makes unsolicited emails illegal in 90% of countries in the world.
Email prospecting is dying and sales teams are desperate for a solution.
Our solution is to reinvent sales automation, going beyond email, and making it social because that's where people’s attention today is focused.
Sales teams need to adapt and nurture leads where they are congregating.
Orca is outbound social sequences. Users can create social sequences on Linkedin and other channels, such as profile views, connect requests, and follow up messages to elicit a response from decision makers.
The science behind Orca is simple.
What happens when you get a notification on Linkedin, Facebook, or Twitter? Chances are, you’ll check who viewed your profile, liked your post, commented on a photo… this is called a look back.
What happens when you view your lead’s profile, send an invitation to connect, like their post, comment on a post, or endorse them? Chances are they’ll look back to see who you are.
Notifications trigger look backs and therefore get you noticed, leading to a conversation.
Our customers include companies like StreakCRM, Threatcare, RainforestQA, Gemnote, Poviolabs, and more.

In theory, Orca is great. In practice, it's a disaster. My Linkedin campaigns would never progress to connection requests. The customer service reps couldn't figure out how to fix this, and they were almost alway slow to respond. I came up with a workaround (uploading CSV files), but that didn't work either.
Then Orca notifies me they will be introducing additional functionality to the service - which sounds like it's free. A few days later a button appears to the effect of "Want data enrichment?". Sounds harmless enough, but apparently, in tiny light grey print that fades into the background there was something about it being a paid service. The next thing I know there are $800 in additional charges.
No rational check out process, no receipt. Surprise!
After having wasted so much time trying to make Orca work, the firm takes me to the cleaners.
I have no sympathy for the CEO's explanation that we're a small firm with some user interface issues. I run a small firm and always strive to treat my clients fairly. I don't need the bad karma.
Orca is unethical and the way they saddled me with $800 in charges over 10 days smacks of fraud.
- poor user interface
- poor customer service
- service doesn't work
- fraudulent billing practices
I agree with Manan Vora's review completely. Same experience here.
Software works as they endorse on their website. Campaigns are easy to set up and operate
Customer support is the worst I've come across, ever!
Billing is very skewed and almost unethical.
Terrible UX - they mentioned a key billing aspect, in 1 place across their entire website - in the smallest font on that pop-up.
Would never recommend this to anyone.
I was trying to solve the issue of finding and connecting with people on Linkedin. Turns out that Orca solves that by giving you a bigger problem - taking your money unethically. They're billing system is very skewed and customer support is worse. I was stuck on the customer chat and email, without a reply for 4 hours till now (as I write this review). The worse part is that the customer rep is seeing my messages (Message has been updated to seen) and is choosing not to reply to my messages. They have a team of 14 people apparently and not 1 of them has the decency to reply back to the email, even if to say that my message was received.
Speaking of emails, their amazingly designed system does not send you a single email while they are busy reducing your bank balance. They emptied our bank account - EMPTIED - all with irrelevant and unethical charges, and the notification we got was from our banks, telling us that our account was empty!
