5 Closed Deals & 50% Up Email Opt-Ins All In One ABM Campaign

/in /by

The Client

The Client is a seasoned technology services provider and prides itself with a 17-year experience in e-retail services, and 16 years of providing non-stop technology consulting solutions. The extensive technology background of their consultants in customizing top solutions for their clients needs enables them to widely cater to different industry types and sizes.

Lines of Business
E-commerce, IBM i, EDI

The Challenge

As a technology consulting solutions expert, the Client provides a variety of services like catalog management, e-retail design and development, storefront software support, ROI optimization, Google utilization, order and inventory management, SEO, integration, product data feeds, product data cleansing, email marketing and the full service package from evaluation to analysis.

These extensive solutions have brought in long-term clients and high ROI for the business, but the recent years have seen meager production of new business deals due to some challenges that were caused by the following:

  • The Client’s email marketing strategy that sends out catalogs to prospects via regular email accounts have become less effective.
  • Since the catalogs were hardly opened or read by target prospects, the Q & As contained in the email which were supposed to initially probe the prospect’s concerns have become less usable which slowed down the process of identifying as to whether the target needs a custom-built storefront or requires a minor change. Such data is significant in customizing the best solution for the prospect.
  • The preceding root causes bore a bigger problem which impacted the whole prospecting process of the business – fewer client conversations.

The Client opened themselves to options that could possibly address these issues, and outsourcing to a lead generation provider came up as the top and most preferred over others like buying/renting lists and adding in-house staff to multiply the job.

The Callbox Solution

Callbox and the Client possess a similar characteristic in terms of prospecting and handling customers – everything goes through evaluation and analysis before customizing the best-fit solution.

Callbox designed an Account-based Marketing Lead Generation and Appointment Setting campaign which consisted of:

  • Account-Based Multi-Channel Lead Management with utilized Voice, Email, Web, Chat, Webinar, and Social Media
  • Sales Enablement & Support which covered Team Training, Account Setup, and Back Office Sales Support
  • Tools & Subscriptions to Callbox Pipeline and HubSpot CRM
  • Account Management with Strategy Building, Reporting, and Product Knowledge

The Goals

  • To ensure data accuracy, the Callbox team was to update the information in the database, particularly email addresses, phone numbers, company name and address, SIC codes and social media accounts.
  • To send product information and references via email, targeting at least 10 successful send out per day.
  • Call to follow up prospects who opted-in, and attempt to set them a meeting with the Client’s consultants.

Below is the campaign’s two-step process:

Account Research and Selection

  • The Client specified their target industries, locations, and decision makers.
  • Callbox filtered the Client’s ideal customer profile which served as a basis for identifying qualified accounts.
  • Callbox compiled a list of potential contacts to target which was reviewed and approved by the Client

Account and Prospect Profiling

  • The Client provided buyer persona profiles of the prospects that they want the outbound campaign to engage. 
  • The profiles consisted of detailed demographic and firmographic segmentations.
  • Qualified prospects were those identified to be interested to know or have the need for the Client’s services.

Results

The campaign yielded a total of 44 Sales Qualified Appointments, 676 Follow-ups, and 720 Email Replies (a 50% increase from the previous average percentage from the Client’s in-house email marketing process)

The Client was able to close 5 deals out of the 44 leads and is looking into 3 more closes before the year ends.

Callbox Multi-Channel Marketing Program Aced Success for Neuro Testing Company

/in /by

The Client

The Client is a group of academic clinicians and other professionals, like engineers and researchers, who develop advanced neurological disorders assessment tools, specifically for dementia, and have been in service for more than a decade now. Their product is a memory assessment software used by clinicians to test and analyze a dementia patient’s memory, which also provides recommendations and further medical steps to take based on results.

The Challenge

The Client is focused on widely researching and meticulously developing neurological assessment tools, which they recently took to a higher level by making Android versions of it on different gadgets like smartphones and tablets.

The course was a success, however, the team went amiss on one thing – the marketing aspect of the project which bore the following challenges:

  • The long periods of research studies and software tool development took most of their attention which somehow, unconsciously snatched ample time to plan on how the tool should be strategically introduced to their target market.
  • The Client had an existing marketing staff but with skills limited to traditional marketing of going from clinic to clinic to present the product.
  • Competitors emerged fast in the market and the Client was running against them and against time – there weren’t appropriate resources or tools to use to expedite product sales and marketing.

The Client had little confidence in their ability to garner enough marketing attention for the project. And there being very little time left to roll out a well-thought marketing strategy, the Client decided, for the first time, to outsource their marketing initiatives.

The Callbox Solution

Callbox designed a Lead Generation and Appointment Setting campaign which consisted of:

  • Multi-Channel Lead Management which utilized Voice, Email, Chat, Web, Social Media and Webinar
  • Sales Enablement & Support which covered Team Training, Account Setup, and Back Office Sales Support
  • Tools & Subscriptions to Callbox Pipeline and HubSpot CRM
  • Account Management with Strategy Building, Reporting and Product Knowledge

The Goals

  • The Callbox team was to reach out to target prospects via multiple channels and promote the Client’s neurological assessment tool.
  • Generate leads, mainly to do Hot Transfers, and alternatively set up office or phone appointments with interested prospects. 
  • The team was also to manage the database, keep it accurate and free from duplicates and not qualified contacts.

Account Research and Selection

  1. The Client specified target industries, location, and relevant contacts.
  2. Callbox worked out the Client’s ideal customer profile (ICP) which served as a basis for identifying qualified accounts.
  3. Callbox then compiled a list of potential contacts to target which was reviewed and approved by the Client.

Account and Prospect Profiling

  1. The Client provided specific target decision makers for the Callbox team to reach, which consisted of detailed demographic and firmographic segmentations.
  2. The buyer personas designated as the campaign’s primary targets were Neurologists (doctors, consultants, neuro nurses)

Demand Generation: Callbox Takes Business Loans Marketing from “Laid back” to “Look out! We’re back!”

/in /by

The Client

The Client is a financial company that offers unsecured business loans to small and medium businesses in New South Wales, Australia. They grant loans to businesses for varied purposes ranging from site renovation, marketing and advertising to vendor-financing. The fast loan approval of 2-3 working days and custom packages they offer have become popular and have earned them client referrals.

The Client enjoyed dominion in the financial loans business in NSW for years, carrying with them the legacy of the mother company who cradled almost all financial needs of most of the SMEs in the state before it gave up all its business rights to the Client in 2005.

The Challenge

The Client kept its good business reputation among customers which enabled them to sustain a good number of customers in their database until competitors grew and mushroomed in the market, offering similar financing options which threatened to kill much of their business. This has impacted customer acquisition and even account maintenance which urged the Client to reconsider their usual laid back marketing style of waiting for customers to ring their phones or knock at the office door. They needed a more proactive strategy that would address the issues.

The extensive solutions they provide have brought in long-term clients and have resulted to high ROI for the business. However, recent years have seen meager production of new business deals due to some challenges that were caused by the following:

  • Depleting number of customers as competitors are quick to grab them
  • Limited target area due to limited staff and resources
  • Unqualified targets who just want information with no genuine interest

The Callbox Solution

Callbox designed a unique Demand Generation program for the client. The process was structured in such a way that it would get the word out on the Client’s business loan offerings and create a buzz and qualified interest among its target customers by:

  • Maximizing staff and available resources both of the Client’s and Callbox
  • Filtering the most qualified customers for immediate conversion
  • Generating a list of potential customers that the Client can continue to follow-up in the succeeding months

The Client ultimately wanted to create a master list of target prospects that they can use in any of their upcoming internal marketing campaigns. With a more aggressive marketing approach in mind, the Client knew that they needed to be armed with a qualified list of potential customers that they could tap if they wanted to beat out the competition.

Maximizing Staff and Available Resources

The Callbox team and the Client discussed the campaign goals and requirements in the Kick-Off Meeting which was followed by Callbox’s preparation of list of target prospects. At the same time, the Callbox Pipeline and the Automated Nurture Scheme were set-up while the email copies, landing page and call script were designed and approved by the Client and went through tests. Product training and call simulation concluded the preliminary actions.

Filtering the Most Qualified Customers

With the use of the Callbox Pipeline’s Lead Nurture Tool, Initial or Introductory emails were sent out to the target list which aimed to hit two birds at the same time – validate email address and present the offer. The nurture tool is able to track real-time actions so Opened Emails, Web Visits and Social Media Connections were easily monitored by the Callbox team. Prospects who replied via the said actions were called by the agent to qualify if these prospects have genuine interest.

Prospects that were called and were identified to have genuine need and interest were profiled and tagged as Lead Completed in the Pipeline for the Client to promptly handle.

Generating Potential customers to Follow-up

Other prospects who did reply but were gauged to have minimal interest, just wanted to know more information, or are just looking for options for future reference were still profiled by updating and verifying all contact information specially email addresses, as follow-up email copies were sent in drip manner as part of the nurture process to keep in constant contact with the prospect.

The Client never lost track of any positive contacts as the Lead Nurture Tool generated and sent real-time alerts and updates via the the Client’s Callbox Pipeline account and email.

Results

The campaign delivered significant returns, delivering precisely what the Client expected.

Out of the 4500 list of targets emailed, 540 (12%) responded and were classified as qualified prospects with genuine interest, which is a 50% increase from their laid back strategy. These were prospects who either replied via email, connected through social media, or visited the website and submitted a query form that specifically stated their purpose for wanting to avail a loan. This database of positive respondents, located across a much wider geographical area and profiled by Callbox with a list score of 78%, represented the initial group of people they can actively market their loans to. The Client could now proceed with their promotional efforts with confidence, knowing that they will be talking to people who have expressed varying levels of interest in their product.

Callbox’s Demand Generation campaign proved to be the much needed jump start to the Client’s sputtering business – it increased awareness and interest among target contacts, broadened the target area, and generated a well-profiled, phone-verified and updated contact list of prospects, enabling them to work their way back into great sales numbers.

The Client recently signed up for another Demand Generation campaign with Callbox.

Callbox ABM: Bridged the Gap Between Offshoring Expert and Target Clients

/in /by

The Client

The Client is a leading media company in Hong Kong, providing news and finance information services to financial intermediaries and high net worth individuals. The services they provide include educating Chinese financial intermediaries on the effective use of tax planning and asset management through a series of summits. They work on a platform built from different media channels like online media, periodicals, and guides, to deliver the latest information and relevant topics to finance professionals.

The Challenge

The Client connects Chinese financial consultants to companies that plan to bring their business offshore via financial conferences. These businesses could either be companies from neighboring countries in Asia that would want to be educated on how to bring investments to Hong Kong, as well as Hong Kong-based companies that would like to expand in other regions.

The Client is recognized as a crowd drawer to every financial summit they launch, but the leads generated from the impressive event attendance convert very low number of follow-ups, as most of the attendees were either just curious to hear what the meeting was all about or didn’t really have a solid need for offshoring at all.

The Client thought they needed a more targeted audience who wanted to learn about offshoring, and interested to engage further. Add to that was the pressing time to expedite the project since a series of summits were already on the approving stage.

But, the Client didn’t have the right tools to carry out the tasks needed for the upcoming summits which are to profile their target attendees, gauge the need of the prospects, and uncover the genuine interest for offshoring opportunities.

The Callbox Solution

Callbox designed an ABM Lead Generation & Appointment Setting campaign which consisted of:

  • Account-Based Multi-Channel Lead Management which included Voice, Email, Chat, and Web.
  • Sales Enablement & Support that provided Team Training, Account Setup, and Back Office Sales Support.
  • Tools & Subscriptions to the Callbox Pipeline and HubSpot CRM.
  • Account Management with Strategy Building, Reporting, and Product Knowledge.

The Goals

  • The Callbox team was to do Database Profiling by scrubbing off invalids from the list to keep the contacts updated.
  • To call profiled contacts, and invite them to the Client’s upcoming series of summits.
  • Mainly, schedule face to face or online meetings with potential clients for the Client’s consultants.

The campaign involved two key steps:

 Account Research and Selection

  1. The Client specified target industries, locations, and relevant contacts.
  2. Callbox worked out the Client’s ideal customer profile (ICP) which served as a basis for identifying qualified accounts.
  3. Callbox then compiled a list of potential contacts to target, which was reviewed and approved by the Client.

Account and Prospect Profiling

  1. The Client provided target relevant contacts for the Callbox team to reach out which consisted of detailed demographic and firmographic segmentations.
  2. The buyer personas designated as the campaign’s primary targets were C-Levels, Business Development Managers, Directors, Marketing Directors, General Managers.
  3. The master contact list was segmented based on these personas, and was further grouped according to industry type.

Results

The leading media company was happy with the campaign turnout. With Callbox’s multi-channel marketing campaign, the Client’s list of customers were properly profiled and filtered according to their need and interest in the Client’s services.And, 45% of these leads were converted into current customers, and are now successful investors in their chosen regions.

Callbox: Perfect Candidate for Japan’s Chief Recruiter

The Client

The Client is Japan’s largest recruiting and information Service Company. They are focused on supporting a diverse range of work style though offering a wide variety of services including job advertisements, permanent placement services, temporary staffing services, outsourcing services, pre organization-related services, and development-related services in an effort to help realize a world in which people can freely choose their own unique work style.

The Client also provides a broad range of services for companies, from employee recruitment to development and assignment. Through their diverse services, they are committed to offering the best HR solutions for business operations.

The Challenge

The Client was planning to launch a new product in Singapore and they didn’t have a marketing team to help them engage with customers. Hoping to reach out to prospects and meeting their deadline, the Client decided to outsource to a company that specializes in reaching new markets and has all the marketing tools including database, email support and social media to manage a campaign and help generate potential clients for them.

The Callbox Solution

First Campaign

Before the campaign commenced, the Client highlighted how crucial it is for them to reach their target prospects for the launch of their product. Prior to signing up with Callbox, the Client had planned a marketing strategy of their own, which was focused on different target locations per week. They decided to apply this strategy to their first Callbox campaign.

Contacts were profiled properly and were sent out an email. To get more interested prospects, the team needed a sustained and focused effort. However, despite much effort exerted by the team, the Client’s marketing strategy gave them less time to nurture their warm prospects, which resulted to failure in meeting the Client’s campaign expectations.

The Client assessed the results and the team provided their feedback on the campaign as well. After evaluating the campaign, the Client and the Callbox team came to the following conclusions:

  • Jumping from one target area to another from week to week gave them less time to reach out to the right people. The availability of prospects had to be put into consideration as well.
  • Having limited time to run the campaign affected the conversion rate. Many prospects considered looking into the product, however, most of them didn’t want to commit yet.
  • Right timing is the key. Running a 3-week campaign on a lean month, when most of the prospects were on vacation, contributed to a lower-than-expected turnout.

Second Campaign

Having learned much from the initial campaign and armed with insights on how they can make improvements, the Callbox team, together with the Client, made some changes to help improve the campaign’s performance. In order to address the Client’s challenge of reaching out to prospects before the official launch of their product, the team implemented the following:

  • Callbox’s multi-channel approach, whereby the team sent out emails to warm prospects prior to the start of the campaign which helped generates positive replies and was converted to appointments. At the same time, the team tried different approaches to touch base and follow up with them while running the campaign.
  • The Client ran a 2-week campaign, this time with 4 agents focusing on one location. The team conducted regular status meetings with the Client to provide updates and keep track of their course of action.

With the help of the Callbox Pipeline Lead Nurture Tool, the team was able to create a scheme and set a timeline that helped achieve the desired results within the time frame specified by the Client.

Callbox’s multi-channel approach played an important role which resulted to higher number of appointments at the end of 2nd term.

Before the end of the campaign, the client commended the team for their effort, “99% no cancellation of appointments. Only 1% of the appointment was cancelled because of double booking.”

Results

With Callbox’s experience and the team’s expertise in troubleshooting different types of campaigns, together with the Client, they managed to create a customized program to meet the Client’s target and expectations.

Running a multi-channel marketing campaign with the aid of the Callbox’s Pipeline Lead Nurture Tool, the team managed to deliver a higher number of qualified appointments than they would have without it. As a result, the Client decided not to accept more office appointments and advised the team to convert them to leads instead as they no longer have enough people to handle all appointments delivered.

Currently, the Client is nurturing 178 leads, 37 of which are interested with the product and agreed to meet with the Client’s sales team, 75 warm leads who are interested to know more about the product and 66 leads which can be followed up through email. These impressive results prompted the Client to signify his intention to sign up for a long term contract by the 3rd quarter of this year.

/in /by

The Client

The Client is an Australian-owned cloud, data centre and connectivity provider, specializing in enterprise cloud, robust data centres, managed connectivity solutions and multiprovider internet services, with a network that spans through Australia points of presence in five states.

The Challenge

The Client partnered with Optus to wholesale Internet Protocol (IP) Services to middle-tier ISPs and voice service providers in Queensland, and extended its market to Sydney. The Sydney operation did quite well in the first five years, but later scaled down as in-house sales and marketing schemes became ineffective in acquiring new customers, barely drawing ROI. The Client knew that in order to increase their client list, they needed more advanced sales and marketing methods and tools, but such requirements further led them to another challenge: lacking the best tactics and tools that would scale up the sales numbers.

The Callbox Solution

Callbox designed an Account-Based Marketing Lead Generation and Appointment Setting campaign for the Client which consisted of:

  • Account-Based Multi-Channel Lead Management which included Voice, Email, Chat, Web, Social Media, and Webinar
  • Sales Enablement & Support that provided Team Training, Account Setup, and Back Office Sales Support.
  • Tools Subscriptions to Callbox Pipeline and Hubspot CRM
  • Account Management with Strategy Building, Reporting, and Product Knowledge

The campaign involved two key steps:

Account Research and Selection

  1. The Client specified target location, industries, and relevant contacts.
  2. Callbox refined the Client’s ideal customer profile (ICP) which served as a basis for identifying qualified accounts.
  3. Callbox then compiled a list of potential contacts to target which was reviewed and approved by the Client

Account and Prospect Profiling

  1. The Client provided buyer persona profiles of the prospects that they wanted to engage which consisted of detailed demographic and firmographic segmentations.
  2. Relevant contacts designated as the campaign’s primary targets:Office Manager, Gen. Manager, Managing Director, ICT Manager/Director, IT Manager, Communications Manager.
  3. The master contact list was segmented based on these decision maker profiles, and was further grouped according to industry type.

Results

Overall, the six-month ABM Lead Generation and Appointment Setting campaign delivered 72 Sales Qualified Leads, 24 Marketing Qualified Leads, 28 Requests for Information, 35 For Callback and 316 Social Media Connections. 

The Client was able to close 3 contracts to multinational companies from the campaign which equals to 33% increase in their sales in the last three years.
