Challenges & Scope

ICP: Vacuum Deposition Equipment, Physical Vapor Deposition, and Atomic Layer Deposition Companies in Europe and North America.

Product: Custom Mass Flow Controllers.

CIENCE Technologies coordinates the lead generation efforts for Alicat Scientific. After researching appropriate industries and clients, they conduct cold email and phone outreach campaigns.

The ICP funnel
Three deposition segments Vacuum Deposition Equipment Physical Vapor Deposition Atomic Layer Deposition Across Europe and North America One custom mass flow controller
The target was narrow on purpose: three deposition segments, Vacuum Deposition Equipment, Physical Vapor Deposition, and Atomic Layer Deposition, across Europe and North America. The product going out was one custom mass flow controller.

Why CIENCE

"Their ability to do targeted research stood out" to Bernard M. Chaudoir, Market Manager.

Alicat Scientific did not have a good list of customers and prospects. They wanted to generate an exhaustive list of ideal engineering clients and cultivate new leads. Bernard M. Chaudoir, Market Manager, had coordinated successfully with CIENCE in a previous capacity and decided to re-engage to satisfy Alicat's needs.

"They generated the desired list for us with speed and accuracy and implemented a lead generation campaign," says Chaudoir. "They researched the biopharma space and found appropriate target names and contact info for us." The team at CIENCE wrote email templates and phone scripts to start sales conversations with Alicat's ideal customers.

"Their research and targeting ability is top-notch,' Chaudoir says. "Discussion, collaboration, and work ethic are all on point."
From blank list to built list
No usable list to start Targeted research Exhaustive list, built to the ICP Email templates Phone scripts
Alicat started with no good list of customers and prospects. CIENCE researched the deposition space, found the right names and contact info, then wrote the email templates and phone scripts that opened the conversations.

Results

Alicat worked with the CIENCE team to optimize their campaigns in an industry space where targeting is difficult. "The workflow was great," says Bernard M. Chaudoir, Market Manager. "We were in contact as required and had weekly coordinated meetings. They completed the project ahead of schedule. Our project manager was terrific."

Despite the challenges penetrating the physical vapor and atomic level deposition industry, Alicat found the outreach conducted by CIENCE to be a success. "We ultimately met the #'s that we laid out at the start," says Chaudoir. "CIENCE helped us accelerate market investigation and product launch activities."

Every target, ahead of schedule
Targets set at the start Exhaustive prospect list Outbound campaign live Every number hit in full Delivered ahead of schedule Weekly coordinated meetings Planned finish
Alicat met the numbers it laid out at the start, and CIENCE finished ahead of schedule with weekly coordinated meetings. The campaign accelerated Alicat's market investigation and product launch.
