How a B2B Logistics Brand Secured a $6M Deal with Callbox

How a B2B Logistics Brand Secured a $6M Deal with Callbox

By definition, the B2B Logistics industry is where one or more commercial transactions between two businesses occur, rather than the direct delivery of goods to the end-user or customer. It is complex, precise, and often guarded by a shield of operational intricacies. 

Which makes closing more high-value deals even more challenging. After all, how do you—a logistics firm—encapsulate the success of streamlining operations, optimizing supply chains, or sealing lucrative deals into a narrative that resonates with the Logistics Coordinator, Procurement Manager, Operations Manager, Shipping Manager, Home Delivery Operations Manager, C-level executives, and President?

About The Client

This Pittsburg, PA-based logistics company has over 40 years of providing managed freight, shipping, and storage services. It recently started expanding in the “last mile” segment by implementing a full spectrum customer acquisition plan.

The company needed help with top-of-funnel marketing activities, so it could focus on conversions in later funnel stages. Callbox became its outsourced marketing partner and launched a targeted appointment-setting campaign that combined an account-based multichannel marketing approach which includes phone, email, chat, and social media.

The Client was able to close 3 of the Callbox-generated appointments as new customers, bringing in a total of $6 million in new sales.

The Challenge: Navigating the Last Mile

With a keen focus on enhancing “last-mile” delivery services for traditional retailers and e-commerce businesses, our client embarked on a multi-faceted marketing initiative. However, to truly amplify its presence, a robust strategy involving digital outreach and targeted prospecting was indispensable.

The decision was made to divide responsibilities between their in-house team and a trusted marketing agency. The outsourcing agency would spearhead early-stage prospecting and lead generation, while the company’s in-house team would nurture and convert these prospects further down the sales funnel.
