IaaS Firm Re-engages and Converts Old Leads Across SEA and ANZ

The USA-based Client is a trusted, global AI-powered Iaas (Identity-as-a-Service) firm. Their primary target industries are BFSI, Digital Banks, Telco and Remittance companies. Previously, the Client ran a campaign with another provider that generated contacts that never successfully converted into leads. They reached out to Callbox who worked on designing a multi-channel Lead Generation and Appointment Setting campaign which lasted as a two-term contract.

After working closely with Callbox, they were able to successfully complete a six-month Lead Generation and Appointment Setting campaign. They produced a total of 60 appointments, 222 social media connections, 496 contacts for callback and 48 contacts for follow-up. They were able to achieve all key objectives in terms of the best-fit accounts and highly-qualified prospects delivered.

Expat-Focused Financial Planning Firm Expands in Niche SG Market [CASE STUDY]

Expat-Focused Financial Planning Firm Expands in Niche SG Market [CASE STUDY]

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.

NZ B2B Media Company On Track to Hit Targets with Callbox

NZ B2B Media Company On Track to Hit Targets with Callbox [CASE STUDY]

The Client offers video production services to corporate and business customers all over New Zealand. The company maintains a portfolio of video projects used in internal and external communications, company profiles, corporate announcements, events coverage, customer testimonials, product guides, training resources, and promotional materials.

The company recently ramped up its customer acquisition objectives, with particular focus given to mid-sized organizations located in the Auckland and Hamilton areas. The Client wanted to grow its market share in the “Golden Triangle” region, where the company expects demand for corporate video productions to outpace the rest of the country.

In order to meet its new targets with the sales resources and manpower it currently has, the Client believes it’s going to need the help of a third-party agency doing much of the top-of-funnel prospecting legwork so that its sales development team can exclusively focus on mid- to bottom-of-funnel stages.

High-Growth SaaS Startup Boosts Momentum with Callbox Campaign

High-Growth SaaS Startup Boosts Momentum with Callbox Campaign [CASE STUDY]

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.

Micro Market Provider Forecasts Pipeline Value Growth After Campaign

Micro Market Provider Forecasts Pipeline Value Growth After Campaign [CASE STUDY]

Workplace micro markets are fast becoming a more popular alternative to traditional office vending machines. Micro markets offer a healthier and more diverse selection of food, drinks, and snacks at companies where having a full-service cafeteria or kitchen isn’t an option. They provide businesses and employees better convenience, increased efficiency, and greater wellness benefits.

The Client is looking to capture a bigger slice of the growing demand for micro market solutions, particularly among mid-sized companies in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. Its current (mostly inbound) marketing program generates an average of 10 appointments per month, of which 30% become sales-qualified. The company’s sales team can close around 40% of these opportunities as new customers.

To achieve its expansion goals, the Client realizes it has to increase the flow of leads and appointments into its pipeline. That’s why the Client wants to complement its inbound marketing initiatives with targeted, outbound prospecting tactics.

But with its in-house marketing team and sales reps already facing hectic workloads, the Client understands it needs to outsource a good deal of top-of-funnel outbound marketing activities, such as prospect research and prequalification.

Outbound Campaign Fast-tracks Inbound Results for Business Travel Platform [CASE STUDY]

Outbound Campaign Fast-tracks Inbound Results for Business Travel Platform

Shortly before first contacting Callbox, the Client was in the middle of a key strategic refocus that aimed to expand the company’s footprint in the growing SME business travel segment. The Client had already developed specific packages and solutions tailored for small and medium-sized companies’ needs and was looking to acquire more SME accounts.

To help drive awareness and generate interest in its SME-focused offerings, the company launched a number of lead generation initiatives that included publishing a comprehensive whitepaper on creating and deploying a company travel policy.

The Client wanted to reach new prospects with this content asset but encountered mixed results with the distribution and promotion tactics they were using (which mostly consisted of inbound channels like SEO, social media, and online promotion).

Downloads average 6 per week (although this went up as high as 11 in the first full week after publication) and marketing-qualified lead (MQL) conversion rates didn’t meet the Client’s targets.

After considering other options for distributing the whitepaper, the Client decided to include outbound channels in its content promotion mix. But, having no outbound expertise of its own, the Client began looking for a third-party lead generation vendor to handle the outbound portion of the campaign.

Callbox Taps Ontario Auto Dealership Market for IT Sales Opportunities [CASE STUDY]

Callbox Taps Ontario Auto Dealership Market for IT Sales Opportunities [CASE STUDY]

The Client specializes in IT solutions for automotive dealerships designed to streamline sales, marketing, and customer support processes. These solutions include end-to-end e-commerce portal, reputation management services, lead generation services, website conversion optimization tools, and fully integrated CRM platform. The Client targets both franchised and independent dealerships throughout the province of Ontario.

In order to sell to this market, the Client employs a small sales team that performs both marketing and sales responsibilities. The team assigns prospecting activities to an inside sales rep who carries out much of the research and initial contact.

Meanwhile, in-person and phone follow-ups are delegated to the rest of the team. The company’s average sales cycle ranges between 3 to 6 months.

The Client already does business with a sizeable number of dealerships primarily in the Greater Toronto Area and other regions in the province. The company wants to expand its reach into other Ontario locations.

To achieve its growth objectives, the Client thinks it needs to outsource part of its marketing efforts, particularly lead generation and appointment setting so that their sales team can focus on nurturing and follow-up.

HK-Based Industrial Supplier Widens Market Lead with Callbox’s Help [CASE STUDY]

HK-Based Industrial Supplier Widens Market Lead with Callbox’s Help [CASE STUDY]

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.

Telecom Firm’s Campaign Enters Next Phase, Grows Reach in New Segments [CASE STUDY]

Telecom Firm’s Campaign Enters Next Phase, Grows Reach in New Segments [CASE STUDY]

The Client currently has an ongoing appointment setting project with Callbox. As part of its 2018 marketing goals, the Client wants to double down on maritime satellite opportunities in Asia, as well as tap into additional EMEA markets.

This leg of the campaign focuses 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 previous campaign phases, 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.

Callbox Keeps EMR Firm’s Sales Reps Busy with Qualified Appointments [CASE STUDY]

Callbox Keeps EMR Firm’s Sales Reps Busy with Qualified Appointments [CASE STUDY]

The Client sells its trademark high-performance ED software system to hospitals all over the United States and Canada. The browser-based application helps improve ED performance with a full suite of operational and management tools. It also provides interoperability with the hospital’s EMR and other healthcare information systems involved in the patient’s care.

The company’s main product enjoys significant brand equity, but as competition continues to tighten in the medical software space, the Client has adopted a more aggressive growth strategy.

This recent shift is starting to overstretch the company’s marketing and sales resources. Their inside sales team has consistently been unable to meet the new prospecting targets, especially in terms of call volumes, number of prospects reached, and early-stage conversions. The new strategy also reveals gaps in the Client’s marketing data, with record counts often falling short of campaign requirements.

That’s why the company wants to outsource the bulk of its prospecting activities to a third-party agency. These activities include initial outreach, lead qualification, desk research, data validation, and appointment setting.

The Client, however, requires a marketing partner that can seamlessly become part of its sales process. In particular, the company wants to hire a provider with deep domain knowledge of healthcare information systems in order to engage prospects better.

LED Lighting Firm Renews Callbox Campaign, Wins Sales Deal in 2 Months [CASE STUDY]

LED Lighting Firm Renews Callbox Campaign, Wins Sales Deal in 2 Months [CASE STUDY]

 

The Client’s main line of service helps companies successfully implement and maintain LED lighting projects. Its key differentiator is that it provides fully-integrated, end-to-end LED lighting project management packages that come bundled with the needed expertise and support. The Client also offers 5-year unlimited warranties to its customers, which further sets it apart from other players in the industry.

Because the Client typically sees conversion cycles that span several months, the company devotes much of the funnel to nurturing leads and opportunities. That’s why the Client traditionally outsources top-of-funnel prospecting activities to third-party agencies.

In fact, the Client’s parent company has already worked with Callbox in a previous prospecting campaign that focused on its telecom vendor sourcing division. This time, the Client wants to partner with Callbox in order to:

1. Generate qualified leads and appointments that fit the Client’s LED lighting options
2. Collect marketing and sales intelligence useful in the nurturing process
