Callbox Case Study for Business Products and Services Successful Campaign

Callbox Collaboration Enables Labeling Company to Secure High-Quality Leads

The Client

The Client is a company that has established a good reputation for providing durable and long-lasting tags, labels, and stickers.

Callbox Helped IaaS Firm Re-engage Old Contacts and Convert Into Leads

The Client

The Client is a trusted, global AI-powered IaaS (identity as a service) firm, eradicating online identity fraud through end-to-end verification solutions for customers to meet their AML and KYC compliance. They are an awardee of Frost & Sullivan’s North American Entrepreneurial Company for the Biometric Security Solutions Industry.

The Challenge

The Client previously ran a campaign with another provider that generated contacts that were never converted into leads. These were companies they spoke to but were not followed up for more than a year which they want to reach out again. However, the data list needed to be cleansed as contact names and other information may have already been changed. They also wanted to generate fresh leads and social media connections, but they do not have the tools to work out with.

The Callbox Solution

Callbox designed a Multi-touch, Multi-channel Lead Generation and Appointment Setting campaign, utilizing voice, email and social media, which was closed in a two-term contract and brought new business opportunities to the Client.

The Callbox team was to re-engage the Client’s follow-ups and check if they are still open to talking, gauge their interest and need for an online identity verification solution and set appointments with the Client’s consultants.

Ongoing ABM Campaign Lifts Potential ARR by $785K for FinTech SaaS Firm (Featured Image)

Ongoing ABM Campaign Lifts Potential ARR by $785K for FinTech SaaS Firm

The Client

The Client develops and maintains a cloud-based platform that facilitates supply chain financing transactions. The company primarily targets enterprise-level businesses in a number of industries throughout Southeast Asia.

The Challenge

The Client is a fast-growing Singapore-based FinTech company with more than six years of experience partnering with enterprise businesses in Southeast Asia. The company operates a cloud-based platform that helps large enterprises improve cash flows and tap into a pool of working capital through a full menu of supply chain financing options:

  • Reverse factoring
  • Invoice financing
  • Inventory financing
  • Payable extension
  • Payable discounting
  • Supplier payments

Last year, the company started implementing an ABM program to help them better identify high-priority accounts in their target markets. With half a decade’s worth of customer data under their belt, the Client was able to reliably determine some key qualities about their most promising target accounts:

  • Accounts with the highest lifetime values (LTVs) tended to come from manufacturing, retail, and wholesale trade industries.
  • Top accounts also were more likely to have been processing invoices manually or through a legacy system prior to switching over to the Client’s platform.
  • Nearly all won deals involved reaching out to three different decision-maker segments: managers in charge of procurement and invoicing, stakeholders concerned about company’s cost management and financial performance, and technical managers who want a secure and reliable platform.

The Client’s ABM program also specifies the need to outsource their top-of-funnel activities, including prospect research and initial outreach.

By the company’s own estimate, a third-party agency will greatly augment the company’s understaffed internal team, which currently generates an average of nine discovery meetings per month. Plus, the Client also thinks outsourcing will free up a big chunk of sales and marketing agents’ schedules, giving them more time to follow up and work on promising deals.

But first, the Client had to find a marketing company with the right expertise and resources to help them:

  • Scale up the search for accounts that closely resemble their top customers
  • Connect with all three decision-maker groups that impact buying decisions
  • Generate the right number of sales appointments to support their target pipeline growth

The Callbox Solution

After reviewing proposals from several marketing providers, the Client signed up for Callbox’s account-based appointment setting service. The Client noted that the program met all their requirements, and that Callbox already had an extensive track record of success with FinTech companies in the APAC region.

From the outset, the Client made it very clear they wanted a long-term partnership. That’s why a pilot three-month campaign was first carried out to learn the best ways to move things forward. After the test campaign, Callbox and the Client went ahead with full implementation, which is still ongoing today.

Callbox’s account-based appointment setting campaigns consist of three main activities. Some of the key highlights include:

Account Research and Selection

Key firmographic qualities include: workforce of at least 500 employees; annual revenues of $50 million or more; engaged in manufacturing, retail, or wholesale trade in Singapore and Malaysia.

As for technographics, the Client’s top-tier accounts were companies that rely on either manual processes or on-premise software to handle procurement, invoicing, and cash flow management.

The Callbox team then prepared the target account list using a combination of Callbox’s in-house database and external data sources.

Account and Prospect Profiling

  1. There were three decision-maker groups targeted in the campaign: end users (managers in charge of procurement and invoicing), economic buyers (CFOs, controllers, etc.), technical buyers (IT managers, IT directors, CTOs, CIOs, etc.).
  2. The Client specified additional prospect characteristics to help the Callbox team pinpoint the right decision makers from each target account.
  3. All contact details and information were screened by a database QA team and submitted to the Client for review before being used in the campaign.

Multi-touch, Multi-channel Outreach

The Callbox team followed a unique lead nurture path and personalized messaging strategy for each of the three decision-maker groups.

The lead nurture paths combined phone, email, and LinkedIn touches which were scheduled and executed using a dynamic outreach cadence.

Callbox’s own CRM platform, Pipeline, helped orchestrate the different outreach activities and kept the Client up-to-date on the campaign’s progress.

Results

At time of writing, the campaign has now completed 10 months of appointment setting activities and is gearing up for the eleventh month. Throughout that time, the whole effort has consistently hit key objectives.

On a per-channel basis, the campaign recorded mostly better-than-expected results including:

  • Phone: 37% decision maker reach rate
  • Email: 29% open rate, 5% CTR, 8% reply rate
  • LinkedIn: 42% InMail reply rates, 92 new connections

The campaign also performed very well in terms of account-based KPIs:

  • Accounts touched: 4,978
  • Average touches per account: 5.1
  • Average contacts per account: 3.3

Overall, the entire campaign has booked a total of 181 discovery meetings (sales-qualified leads) for the Client so far. That works out to around 18 qualified appointments each month, which is twice what the Client’s in-house team could produce by themselves.

According to the Client, their reps can convert 20% of discovery meetings into proposals and turn 70% of proposals into new customers. With an average annual subscription revenue of $31,000 per customer, the Client can potentially close $785,000 in new annual recurring revenue from the appointments generated in this campaign.

The Challenge

The Client made history and proved its might in the technology sector when it completed a merger valued at approximately $60 billion with one of the biggest data storage companies, in 2015.

Although It was known to be the biggest tech deal ever, several roadblocks halted the deal’s success which affected the business in many different ways. One of those is product redundancy.

The Client’s newly acquired partner hosts several subsidiaries that were meant to augment technology bases and slope up the business but turned out to create a complex battleground, resulting in customer anxiety instead.

In the hope of driving awareness on customers about its new line of combined products and services, the Client decided to host a series of events.

The Callbox Solution

Callbox and the Client methodized a three-month Call-to-Invite campaign.

The goal was for the Callbox team to invite target participants and register to the series of events that the Client will be hosting in different countries and schedules.

The Client

The Client is the head office of a government agency in a Southeast Asian country. The Client develops and implements foreign trade policies, as well as regulates the country’s export and import industries.

The Challenge

As part of the government agency responsible for overseeing international trade in its home country, the Client facilitates trade relations with private companies overseas. The Client maintains an extensive database of key contacts from exporters and importers located in partner countries.

The office’s foreign companies list consists of around 25,000 contacts acquired from different sources, such as signup forms, internal research, tradeshow events, and publicly available documents. The list makes up the backbone of the Client’s promotion activities and information drive, as well as the main distribution list for the agency’s monthly newsletter.

The Client recently started a planned update and migration of its various data resources. A data audit revealed that the agency’s foreign companies list contained a very high number of potential data quality issues, including missing values, duplicate entries, and outdated fields.

With tight timetables for the data migration project, the Client sought the help of a third-party provider to scrub and update its foreign companies list. Following a thorough procurement process, officials chose Callbox after taking into account price competitiveness, data management capabilities, and track record.

The Callbox Solution

Callbox carried out a data cleaning and data profiling campaign for the Client. The campaign was designed with the agency’s very particular requirements and timelines in mind.

Data Cleaning

  1. The data cleaning phase of the campaign was scheduled and completed during the first two weeks.
  2. A battery of database scrubbing activities were performed on the Client’s foreign companies list, including de-duplication, error correction, and record standardization.
  3. The data cleaning workflow consisted of both manual and automated processes which made use of Callbox’s suite of list health tools.

Data Profiling

  1. After completing the data cleaning activities, the Callbox team verified and updated each list record through one-on-one calls with contacts, which consisted of senior and C-level executives from multiple countries and locations.
  2. Desk research helped enrich the Client’s database by supplying missing values and appending new information mined from different sources.
  3. Accuracy of each list entry was guaranteed through cross-referencing with Callbox’s own records and using different data sources to validate fields.

Results

The whole campaign took two months to complete (or 44 days), which was well within the Client’s required timeline. The first two weeks were spent on data cleaning, while the remaining six weeks were allocated for data profiling.

The Callbox team profiled a total of 24,952 records and worked to achieve 99.5% accuracy for the final list.

Three months after receiving the cleaned and profiled database, the Client reported 1.3x higher delivery rates, 70% fewer bounces, and across-the-board improvement in their email engagement/response metrics.
