About the Client
Our client, an IT company specializing in building IT infrastructure, analytics, machine learning, and data science solutions, faced significant challenges in assembling an effective in-house lead generation team. Despite substantial investments, their efforts failed to produce the desired results.
Challenges
Ineffective In-House Team: Despite investing over $20,000 per month in salaries, the in-house team was only booking 5 calls per month.
Role Fragmentation: Separate roles for different tasks led to inefficiencies and poor coordination.
Interdepartmental Conflicts: Ongoing conflicts between the marketing and sales teams hindered productivity and collaboration.
Quality of Leads: The team struggled to generate high-quality leads that could be converted into meaningful sales opportunities.
Solutions
To tackle these challenges, we implemented a comprehensive strategy that involved understanding the client's pain points, A/B testing campaigns, utilizing Account-Based Marketing (ABM), and building a cost-effective remote offshore team.
Understanding Pain Points and A/B Testing
Strategy: We began by working closely with the client to identify the core issues impacting their lead generation efforts.
Execution: Conducted A/B testing on various campaigns and scenarios using our established infrastructure to gather actionable insights.
Outcome: This process highlighted the areas that required improvement and provided a foundation for developing an effective strategy.
Utilizing Account-Based Marketing (ABM)
Strategy: Implemented an ABM approach to target the client’s Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) more effectively.
Execution: Created personalized outreach campaigns tailored to high-value accounts, focusing on their specific needs and pain points.
Outcome: This approach led to booking over 90 high-quality calls, significantly improving the client’s engagement with potential customers.
Building a Cost-Effective Remote Offshore Team
Strategy: After validating our approach through A/B testing, we hired and trained a remote offshore sales team.
Execution: Recruited a team that costs 80% less than the client’s existing in-house team, without compromising on quality.
Outcome: The offshore team was fully operational within 9 weeks, and their performance exceeded expectations by booking 25-30 meetings every month.
Aligning Marketing and Sales Teams
Strategy: Developed strategies to improve collaboration and alignment between the marketing and sales teams.
Execution: Facilitated regular communication, shared goals, and joint performance metrics to ensure both teams worked cohesively towards common objectives.
Outcome: The enhanced alignment led to a more streamlined lead generation process and better overall results.
