SG-based 3PL Company Doubles Sales Appointments, Gears Up For Expansion

/in /by

The Client

The Client is a Singapore-based third-party logistics (3PL) provider that offers warehousing, distribution, transportation, and freight management services primarily to freight forwarders and shippers. The company also provides value-added services including crating, labeling, sorting, sub-assembly, and fumigation.

The Challenge

Third-party logistics (3PL) is the process of outsourcing parts or all of a business’s supply chain and logistics operations to another company. As supply chains become more complex, many shippers now find it more cost-effective to work with 3PL service providers that take care of transport, warehousing, customs brokerage, and freight forwarding—instead of doing these activities in-house.

As part of its effort to improve the company’s market position, the Client looked into expanding the outbound component of its customer acquisition program where the bulk of its lead generation initiatives were mostly tied up in inbound tactics, but the Client wanted a more proactive approach and a bigger role for outbound in its marketing mix.

The Client teamed up with Callbox to deploy an outbound prospecting program that would complement the company’s current marketing efforts. Under its existing strategy, the Client averaged 8 to 10 appointments each month, and the company wanted Callbox’s help to develop a new lead source and increase the flow of qualified prospects into their pipeline.

The Callbox Solution

Callbox designed a Lead Generation & Appointment Setting campaign for the Client which consisted of:

  • Multi-Channel Lead Management which utilized Voice, Email, Web, Chat, Webinar, and Social Media
  • Sales Enablement & Support that 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 CAMPAIGN GOALS

  • The Callbox team was to profile the database, and keep each contact accurate and up to date in order to get a good conversion rate out of the target accounts.
  • To call and pre-qualify target prospects based on the Client’s criteria, and book interested prospects with the Client’s specialists.
  • To build connections with potential clients on social media to increase brand awareness.

Account Research and Selection

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

Account and Prospect Profiling

  1. The Client provided target decision makers 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 For Freight Forwarders: Air/Sea Freight Division Manager; For Shippers: Trade Compliance Manager, Shipping Officer, Procurement Manager, Supply Chain Manager, Controller, Persons in Charge of Imports/Exports
  3. The master contact list was segmented based on these personas and was further grouped according to industry type

Results

The twelve-month campaign met all the Client’s expectations, particularly in terms of the number of qualified appointments delivered and net new prospects added into their pipeline: 165 Sales Qualified Appointments, 193 Marketing Qualified Leads, and 44 Follow-ups.

/in /by

The Client

The Client is a UK-based business services and software company that offers cloud-enabled solutions for recruitment and talent acquisition. The company primarily sells to mid and large-sized businesses across different industries.

The Challenge

With over 20 years’ experience providing award-winning recruitment to high-profile customers, the Client recently underwent a major strategic pivot. The shift in focus sought to realign the Client’s various offerings in its US, APAC, and UK divisions under a single global identity.

As part of its new business direction, the company also unveiled a new suite of enhanced talent acquisition tools. This move aimed to further strengthen the Client’s position as a key technology partner for modern HR and recruitment teams.

To support its recent refocus and product rollout, the Client planned a series of marketing initiatives designed to:

  • Increase awareness of its new value proposition through live events, especially in markets that still offer room for growth
  • Generate opportunities with companies that show a clear need and fit for the Client’s offerings through targeted marketing campaigns

The company decided to look for a third-party agency that can help it quickly gain a foothold in their target markets.

The Callbox Solution

Callbox put together an Account-Based Marketing Lead Generation & Appointment Setting campaign plan which consisted of:

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

Account Research and Selection

  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.

  2. The buyer personas designated as the campaign’s primary targets were HR Director, HR Manager, VP for Talent Acquisition Manager, HR Executive, Senior Recruiters
  3. The master contact list was segmented based on these personas and was further grouped according to industry type

Results

Expat-Focused Financial Planning Firm Expands in Niche SG Market

/in /by

The Client

The Client is a Singapore-based financial advisory firm that specializes in tax, investment, pension, and estate planning for British expatriates living in SG.

The Challenge

The Client offers several lines of financial planning services to expats currently working and residing in Singapore. The firm’s client portfolio primarily consists of UK expatriates, which has seen a steady year-over-year growth since its inception. The Client has also received a number of industry awards and recognition as one of Singapore’s leading and most trusted financial advisory groups.

In 2016, the firm underwent administrative and operational streamlining. One area impacted by the changes was customer acquisition. The new business development strategy assigned prospecting and nurturing responsibilities into a single in-house team, which sometimes resulted in the same individual doing the tasks of researching prospects, screening contacts, booking introductory meetings, and following up on opportunities.

The client wants its business development team to concentrate on bottom-of-funnel activities, so that they can devote more time and effort to crucial points in the conversion funnel. The firm plans to delegate most activities in its current prospecting process to a reputable third-party provider.

The Callbox Solution

The Client chose Callbox after evaluating a number of options, citing Callbox’s extensive project portfolio of Singapore campaigns along with its flexibility to seamlessly integrate into the Client’s ongoing business development workflow.

Callbox then closely collaborated with the Client to develop a campaign plan that combines personalized email touches with targeted phone calls to:

  • Identify UK expatriates who fit the Client’s ideal customer profile
  • Qualify contacts based on interest
  • Collect and verify prospect data

Some key campaign activities include:

Database Profiling

  1. The Client provided its own contact list to be used in the campaign, which was then thoroughly profiled by the Callbox team.
  2. The Client’s list was cross-matched with records in Callbox’s in-house database as well as validated using external data sources.
  3. Before being deployed, the list underwent a final round of data scrubbing where inaccurate, duplicate, and missing records were fixed. The updated list was handed over to the Client at the end of the campaign.

Email Marketing

  1. The Client also provided its own outreach email template, which was then reviewed by the Callbox team.
  2. Callbox prepared the rest of the templates for the campaign, including copies for follow-ups, targeted send-outs, and triggered responses.
  3. The Callbox team also designed and tested the various landing pages used in the campaign, as well as optimized each email component.

Appointment Setting

  1. The Callbox team came up with a call script designed to achieve all three campaign objectives.
  2. Agents qualified every prospect with probing questions that identified their suitability and willingness to schedule an initial phone appointment with one of the Client’s financial advisors.
  3. The Client kept track of the campaign’s results in real-time through Pipeline, Callbox’s proprietary CRM and lead management tool.

Results

Callbox carried out the campaign until all records in the Client’s list were contacted and followed up. It took the team two months to complete the project. Most of the campaign’s initial stages were spent on email outreach. Some key results of the campaign’s email marketing activities include:

  • 98.3% delivery rate
  • 33.8% open rate
  • 13% click-through rate

The campaign’s 46 qualified appointments began trickling in near the end of the first month (17 appointments) and increased in the second month (29 appointments), as warm contacts during the email outreach phase started converting into qualified prospects.While the Client hasn’t specified how much of the 46 phone appointments it expects to close as new customers, the Client says the quality of conversations with the Callbox-supplied opportunities has prompted an upward adjustment to its pipeline growth forecast.

High-Growth SaaS Startup Boosts Momentum with Callbox Campaign

/in /by

The Client

The Client is a Singapore-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) company that develops and offers a transportation operations management platform primarily for SMEs in Southeast Asia. Its subscription-based cloud service provides collaborative planning, route optimization, driver dispatch, and e-signing capabilities for fleet owners.

The Challenge

The Client helps SMEs better manage their fleet of land transport vehicles with its cloud-based logistics operations platform. The platform automates many of the challenges that businesses face in their logistics processes, such as handling job orders, tracking vehicles, allocating routes, planning schedules, and dispatching drivers.

Founded in 2012, the Client has experienced strong growth over the last three years, with annual revenues increasing 350% year-on-year. The company says around 100 organizations (including some Fortune 500 brands) across Southeast Asia now regularly use its system to process nearly 1 million delivery and pickup tasks.

After raising its seed round, the Client rapidly expanded its user base in Singapore and also gained additional subscribers in different locations across Southeast Asia. As part of its medium-term growth outlook, the company planned to increase its market share in Singapore and Malaysia, before focusing on Indonesia and other markets in the region.

With less than 50 employees (most of whom doing engineering roles), it was clear the company needed outside help in several business areas to let the company reach and sustain its revenue growth objectives. In particular, the Client wanted to outsource the time-consuming activities of researching potential customers and contacting them one by one for a sales appointment, which typically took up almost two-thirds of their reps’ time.

The Callbox Solution

The Client chose Callbox as its outsourced marketing partner, citing that Callbox’s extensive experience running successful campaigns for both cloud companies and logistics service providers in the APAC region gave Callbox the needed domain knowledge to operate in the Client’s target market.

Callbox and the Client then drew up a campaign plan for a three-month appointment setting program with the following goals:

  1. Pinpoint SMEs in Singapore and Malaysia that potentially need transport management systems (TMSs)
  2. Connect with decision makers in these companies through targeted sales calls and emails
  3. Introduce the Client’s subscription-based TMS and book meetings with interested prospects
  4. Collect additional information to help the Client gauge product-market fit

Appointment Setting

  1. Callbox prepared the list of Singapore and Malaysia contacts based on the Client’s specifications (job titles, industries, annual revenue, and employee count).
  2. The Client had already drafted its own call script and asked Callbox to review and contribute to the final version.
  3. The Client wanted the Callbox team to prioritize setting office meetings for Singapore prospects and phone appointments for Malaysia contacts.

Email Marketing

  1. The Callbox team prepared all email templates used in the campaign, including the initial outreach email and targeted email send-outs.
  2. The campaign’s email specialists handled, tracked, and tested key email components, such as subject lines, copy, design, calls-to-action, and landing pages.
  3. Email touches allowed the Callbox team to warm up and nurture prospects, as well as to follow up and respond to information requests.

Results

The Client received a total of 55 qualified appointmentsfrom the three-month campaign.

The bulk of the three-month campaign’s activities were carried out during the closing quarter of 2017 and early January the following year. Since Callbox campaigns typically start with email outreach to gauge prospects’ readiness for a one-on-one sales call, the first 2 to 3 weeks saw mostly email marketing results:

  • Delivery rates between 96% to 98%
  • Open rates of up to 17%
  • Reply rates of 3.8% on average

The Callbox team started handing off appointments to the Client toward the end of the first month, and continued to deliver a steady supply of meetings throughout the remaining two months.The Client received a total of 55 qualified appointments from the three-month campaign. While the Client did not indicate how much of these prospects it expected to convert into opportunities or customers, the company mentioned that the 55 qualified appointments provided significant boost to its pipeline to help it meet a crucial business milestone in time for its pre-series A funding round application.

Industrial Supplier Widens Market Lead with Callbox’s Help

/in /by

The Client

The Client manufactures and distributes industrial supplies such as decorative stainless steel sheets and other ornamental products used in interior fit-out projects. The company’s headquarters is located in Hong Kong, and it carries out the bulk of its manufacturing operations in Guangzhou, China.

The Challenge

Since 1988, the Client has been providing custom decorative building materials throughout Southeast Asia and Australia. Its products include colored stainless steel, decorative glass films, elevator decoration modules, and stainless steel fabrication. The company primarily sells to architects, designers, contractors, property developers, construction suppliers, and other industrial vendors in the region.

The Client says it relies on two key advantages to attract customers and set its products apart from competitors:

  1. First is its broad sales and service network across the region, which enables prompt supply and delivery.
  2. Second, the Client focuses on design customizability, so that products are tailor-made according to each customer’s specifications.

Before the campaign, the Client’s sales development model placed much of the prospecting and lead qualification burden on sales reps.

Sales was responsible for finding potential customers and booking introductory appointments with prospects, without much in the way of prior screening. Under this setup, the Client estimated that reps were spending less than a third of their time actually talking to prospects, which dragged down both sales productivity and the quality of the customer’s buying experience.

Accordingly, the company has been planning to reassign lead generation and appointment setting responsibilities to its marketing team, but this department is mostly staffed by creatives who are already on tight schedules churning out product materials and sales collaterals.

It was clear that the Client needed to outsource prospecting and lead qualification. But since the company was selling highly-customized products across different geographic markets, the Client wanted to partner with an agency that had both industry knowledge and regional experience.

The Callbox Solution

Appointment Setting

  1. Callbox compiled the campaign contact list based on the location, SIC codes, job titles, and annual revenues specified by the Client.
  2. The call script introduced the Client’s decorative steel sheet products, and included probing questions that determined fit and need.
  3. Contacts who agreed to a face-to-face or a phone meeting were handed off as qualified appointments. The Callbox team also identified and updated key decision makers and other prospect information.

Email Marketing

  1. The Callbox team prepared cold email templates that served as initial touch points before reaching out to prospects via phone.
  2. The campaign also used targeted send-outs to distribute other marketing materials to contacts who wanted to know more about the Client’s products.
  3. Email automation schemes were created using the Lead Nurture tool, Callbox Pipeline’s built-in drag-and-drop marketing automation platform.

Results

The campaign ran for a total of three months (or 66 business days), with the first two months focusing on prospects in Australia, the Philippines and Singapore. During the third month, the campaign widened the target areas to include Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.

Because Callbox follows a multi-touch, multi-channel appointment setting strategy, the first couple of weeks in this campaign are spent introducing the Client and warming up promising contacts through emails. Most appointments are generated after this initial phase, as shown in the monthly breakdown below (although the early outreach stage is repeated during the third month for the prospects in the additional target areas):

  • Month 1: 14 qualified appointments
  • Month 2: 22 qualified appointments
  • Month 3: 12 qualified appointments

With the Client’s reps spending more time talking to qualified prospects, the company believes it can increase its lead-to-opportunity rate to 75% and its opportunity-to-close rate to 50%. Using these benchmarks, the Client expects to potentially convert 18 of the Callbox-generated appointments into new customers this year.

Telecom Firm’s Campaign Enters Next Phase, Grows Reach in New Segments

/in /by

The Client

The Client is the satellite communications unit of one of Asia’s largest telecom groups. The company specializes in both fixed and mobile satellite services, providing customized satellite solutions to corporate customers in industries such as oil and gas, shipping, transportation and logistics, banking, and broadcast.

The Challenge

The Client was already running a campaign with Callbox for one of their lines of business when they decided to double down on maritime satellite opportunities in Asia, as well as tap into additional EMEA markets

This leg of the campaign was focused on the Client’s two Inmarsat Fleet One offerings. Inmarsat Fleet One Coastal covers data and voice services for smaller recreational and fishing boats sailing closer to shore, while Inmarsat Fleet One Global gives access to bundled data and voice anywhere in the world. Both solutions are ideal for commercial vessels and fleets with modest data requirements.

In the first campaign, the emphasis was on potential resellers and end users of the Client’s land satellite services. Both the Client and the Callbox team picked up a great deal of insights about the target prospects and the overall market, which proved useful in refining the team’s campaign approach and the Client’s marketing strategy.

This time, as the focus shifts to maritime satellite communications, the new campaign’s main objective is to identify and qualify potential subscribers for its bundled Inmarsat services from shipping and maritime companies.

The Callbox Solution

Based on the Client’s targets and focused product and services, the Callbox team designed another Account-Based Marketing Lead Generation and Appointment Setting campaign which consisted of:

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

THE GOALS

  • The Callbox team was to run a database profiling and phone-based conversations with prospects integrated with email touches
  • Manage the Client’s social media, web, and chat to enhance branding and engagement accuracy 

Account Research and Selection

  1. The Client specified their target industries, location, and relevant contacts 
  2. Callbox refined the Client’s ideal customer profile (ICP) which served as a basis for identifying qualified accounts
  3. Callbox came up with 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 the outbound campaign to target. The profiles consisted of detailed demographic and firmographic segmentations
  2. Identified as the campaign’s primary targets were Persons in charge of Satellite services and communications
  3. The master contact list was segmented based on these personas, and was further grouped according to industry type.

Results

Overall, the two campaigns ran for 20 months, and generated 245 Sales Qualified Leads in total. 

The results showed that the Callbox team was able to consistently deliver an average of 12 appointments each month, which exceeded the Client’s target of 10 monthly appointments.

Big Tech Brand Reaps Rewards from Long-term Partnership with Callbox

/in /by

The Client

The Client distributes and markets a diverse portfolio of IT, industrial, construction, automotive, digital media, and consumer products. The company operates in seven Southeast Asian countries and is headquartered in Singapore.

The Challenge

Marketing in complex-sale verticals, such as IT and manufacturing, carries a special set of challenges. The conversion funnel is usually longer and nonlinear, and the process requires connecting with multiple decision-makers. That’s on top of the relatively steep learning curve needed to understand and communicate what the product or service brings.

For the Client, these form the basic requirements when teaming up with third-party agencies that handle part of their marketing programs. The company combines inbound efforts (mainly done in-house) with outbound tactics (mostly outsourced to providers). Prospecting and lead generation are the activities that the Client typically delegates to an outside marketing company.

The Client recently decided to look for a new marketing partner as part of its renewed focus on Southeast Asia. The company needed an outbound agency with the scope to help it cover new segments in its target areas ((Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam), as well as the scale to generate prospects from companies in its target industries.

More importantly, the Client wanted a lead generation company they could work with on a long-term basis. This would accelerate deployment of campaigns and keep the messaging more consistent.

The Callbox Solution

The Client reviewed proposals sent by Callbox and two other marketing agencies. All three had considerable experience managing companies’ APAC campaigns, but Callbox was able to provide case studies and references showing projects with longer-term commitments. The Client placed a great deal of emphasis on this key differentiator and signed up with Callbox.

Event Marketing

The project kicked off a month before a company-sponsored event. The Callbox team worked closely with the Client to put together an event marketing campaign aimed at boosting turnout:

  1. The event revolved around driving awareness and generating leads for its SAP services and solutions.
  2. The target attendees mainly consisted of decision-makers in IT, Operations, and Finance from Singapore-based manufacturing firms. The Client wanted to focus on companies not using SAP Business One.
  3. Once Client approved the call list and campaign materials, Callbox then launched a one-month (22-day) event marketing campaign.

Appointment Setting

The project’s next phases consist of different appointment setting campaigns. Each phase focused on a different ICT solution, target industry, and target area.

  1. The project focused on booking appointments for its SAP ERP consulting and integration services. The campaign’s targets were IT prospects from trading /distribution, medical devices, and discrete manufacturing companies in Singapore.
  2. After that, the Callbox team carried out two simultaneous appointment setting campaigns. One campaign targeted Singapore, while the other focused on the Philippines. Both campaigns generated ICT infrastructure appointments from finance, legal, and healthcare companies.
  3. The Client played an active role in refining each campaign’s parameters and in crafting the campaign materials.

Results

The project completed one Event Marketing and three Appointment Setting campaigns in 12 months. 

The event marketing campaign generated a total of 24 confirmed attendees and 35 positive contacts, while the Appointment Setting campaign produced 204 Sales Qualified Leads and 96 MQLs.

Callbox Gives HR Consulting Client Base a Boost

/in /by

The Client

The Client is a Singapore-based consulting company that provides intercultural management courses to organizations worldwide. The Client helps customers develop cross-cultural skills through customized training, coaching, workshops, and conferences.

The Challenge

Started in 2014 as a joint venture between a pioneering European cross-cultural training company and a top Southeast Asian HR solutions provider, the Client has built and grown a customer portfolio of over 150 multinational companies in various industries across Asia. The customer enjoys a clear lead in the region’s market for intercultural management training services.

But with a spate of new entrants seen to come into the growing market, the Client has recently followed a more active strategic direction to protect and enlarge its market share. An important component of the new growth strategy emphasizes direct and targeted outreach to prospects in industries with high potential.

Having little outbound experience of their own, the Client needed some outside expertise to achieve many aspects of its goals. In particular, the company faced three key marketing challenges that made working with a third-party provider a more viable option:

  • Identifying the right prospects to contact in the Client’s target industries and companies
  • Qualifying and booking sales meetings with prospects that fit the target buyer profile
  • Gathering additional marketing intelligence to be used further along the sales cycle

The Callbox Solution

The Client partnered with Callbox after a stringent RFP process, pointing to the latter’s substantial roster of satisfied customers in Singapore as a key differentiator. The Callbox team then worked alongside representatives from the Client to plan out the objectives, activities, and timelines for an integrated appointment setting campaign.

The overall strategy centered on engaging prospects through targeted calls complemented by timely email touch points. The Client wanted the campaign to focus only on companies operating in Singapore and excluded firms providing consulting and training services. Some campaign activities that contributed to its success were:

  1. Callbox performed a thorough data profiling program prior to starting the campaign. The team compiled a database of the key contacts from companies in the included industries. The Client then reviewed and approved the profiled list.
  2. Agents contacted every prospect on the approved list. Probing questions identified fit and interest with the Client’s intercultural management training courses. Prospects who agreed to a meeting with a consultant from the Client were tagged as qualified appointments.
  3. The team used emails extensively for introduction, follow-up, and targeted send-outs throughout the campaign.

The 6-month campaign produced a total of 102 qualified appointments, and 51 MQLs.

Based on past performance, the Client expects to send proposals to around 80% of qualified sales meetings and close anywhere between 15% to 30% of opportunities. That means the campaign can potentially add as much as 30 more deals into their customer portfolio within the next sales cycle, an increase of 8% in its current customer base.

Choosing Callbox for Sage Lead Generation Proven to be Wise Decision

/in /by

The Client

The Client is the IT services arm of its mother company which is one of the largest global accounting and consulting network in Asia and in other 120 countries.

The Challenge

The rapid growth in number of IT companies and the seemingly similar products and services offered tend to cause confusion among business owners on which IT service provider would best fit to address their IT needs, and the Client was not spared from such.

The conventional “WIIFM” (what’s in it for me) would not make any difference at all, the IT expert thought. So the “what” was replaced with “why” as (why is it for me) for their campaign to make target customers understand why they should choose the Client as their IT provider instead of simply knowing what they offer. The campaign was successfully carried out with Callbox.

The Callbox Solution

Customer Profiling

  1. Though the Client had tried their best to keep their database in top condition, they still opted to have it validated by the Callbox team.
  2. Using the Pipeline Lead Nurture tool, the Callbox team sent an initial single-page email that contained an overview of the Client’s products and services with very limited information but included teasers of a current customer’s success story to pique the prospect’s interest.
  3. Active responses like opened emails, website visits, clicked links, and queries were tracked and saved for follow-up calls.
  4. Invalid emails (bounces) and contact details were updated upon speaking with the prospect.

Appointment Setting & Call-to-Invite

  1. Callbox utilized its SMART Calling system in order to reach the right prospects at the time they are most available to talk.
  2. The probing questions were not the usual that would simply draw the prospect’s needs but rather carry out realization in them what the previous strategy/provider has done to achieve their goals. Thus most prospects admitted results were below expectations.
  3. Upon reaching this point of conversation, agent proposed to set appointment with the Client’s IT consultants and invite prospects to an IT seminar.
  4. In order to ensure a solid appointment, Callbox agents sent a calendar invite along with a short but specific email containing information about the Client’s products and services that are probable answers to the prospect’s identified issues.

Results

The first month of the campaign generated 12 appointments and 4 registrations, but as the Calbox team got more familiar with the the target market and customer profiles, appointments delivered almost tripled in the second month with 34.

In the third month, another 12 appointments were generated with 6 registrations; 16 for the fourth month and 12 on the fifth month of the campaign.

The numbers escalated once again in the sixth month with 22 appointments and decreased a bit in the seventh month with 13 appointments and 8 registrations. While the eighth month took a bit of a hit with 3 appointments.

The ninth month made up for the dip in numbers with 20 appointments and the tenth month closed out with 5.

The 10-month campaign generated a total of 149 appointments and 18 registrations. It is worth noting, however, that the Client is still counting more appointments and registrations as they go into the eleventh month, or technically, the first month following the end of the 10-month campaign

/in /by

The Client

The Client is a 20-year old Chiropractic Care provider with 11 specialist clinics in Singapore and 9 more in other countries in Asia and the United Kingdom.

The Challenge

The Client may already be a leader in chiropractic care in Singapore but as the business evolved from a one-man clinic to an integrated chiropractic institution, the business apparently demanded for use of more advanced clinical tools and processes, as well as a healthier and broader customer base.

The Client

The Client is an events specialist and one of the many fast-expanding companies in its industry that could provide resources both in and out of the APAC region.

The Challenge

The Client is a decade old events services leader in Singapore that caters to varied corporate industries by providing the target attendees for trade fairs, forums and brand launches. The successes they earned for being a strong leader in the industry were drawn out of their stringent task implementation, tip-top customer service and dedication. So when the time came that they needed manpower for an event and decided to look for a partner to finish the job, they chose no one else but the equally competitive global lead generation company, Callbox.

The Callbox Solution

Customer Profiling

1. The database records needed to be validated so a customer profiling campaign was implemented.

2. Company and business names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, social media accounts and all other contact details were updated to ensure list accuracy.

3. To further validate the contact information, the Callbox team sent initial copies of the Client’s reminder featuring the upcoming and past events with links to their website and query boxes.

4. Active responses like opened emails, website visits, clicked links, and queries were tracked via the Pipeline Lead Nurture Tool and saved for follow-up.

5. Invalid emails (bounces) and contact details were updated upon speaking with the decision maker.

Appointment Setting

1. Through Callbox’s SMART Calling process, active contacts that were filtered from the Customer Profiling campaign were called to remind prospects of the event and to confirm their attendance.

2. For prospects who were still on the fence with their decisions, drip email reminders were sent to them via the Pipeline Lead Nurture Tool.

3. Prospects who confirmed attendance were sent calendar invites.

4. A day before the event, a final confirmation call to all each one who confirmed was made to keep an accurate number of expected attendees for the event.
