Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Bandalier is a verifiable, legitimate business providing outsourced inside sales teams, founded by Jeremy O'Keeffe. External search confirms active operations, positive G2 reviews, and meaningful traction (likely $2M+ revenue, 30+ employees). However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') and irrelevant tags ('construction'). The score reflects the strong underlying utility and verifiable existence of the company, heavily penalized by the submission's lack of effort and accuracy.

Description
Building inside sales teams shouldn't be this hard.\n\nFaced repeatedly with the choice of either offshoring, using low-quality call centers, or building expensive, high-turnover teams to generate appointments, we decided there needed to be a better way.\n\n​Bandalier's teams help technology and professional services companies connect with their customers.
