Challenges & Scope
ICP: Industries that require HMI (especially in the extreme environment)
Product: Human-Machine-Interface (the device + software)
Specifics: Multinational Company with few sales managers in the US
Doug Stubbs, Vice President to Americas Sales: "We wanted to increase the number of prospects at the top of our sales funnel. Because we only have about half a dozen salespeople scattered around the United States, we needed to be more efficient in generating leads. We wanted a partner to help us find leads, make initial contact, and introduce customers to our product." This case is an example of how CIENCE can help multinational firms increase their United States presence. Since Beijer Electronics didn't have a large North American sales organization, they wanted every sales manager focused entirely on selling and winning deals to rather than on time-consuming prospecting. That's where CIENCE comes in handy with our meticulous process.
"I looked into several firms that were using similar lead generation services and decided that it was something we wanted to add to our business. I found CIENCE and was impressed with the sales rep I spoke with. He gave clear and concise answers, process descriptions, and a detailed explanation of the results I should expect. He also assured me that I could be as involved in the process as I pleased."
CIENCE clients experience the effectiveness of our prospecting methodology twice. First, they get to our sales funnel as leads and our Inbound or Outbound SDRs conduct meaningful sales conversations. Then they enjoy our service as our clients.
I was comfortable with their approach and ultimately chose them as a partner.
Why CIENCE
"The team size varies between five and six members. They provide a researcher, who generates leads and submits them for review each week. We review each prospect before they initiate contact. We also work with an account relationship manager, who we speak with on a weekly basis, as well. For day-to-day contact, there's a full-time telemarketer who handles phone calls and sets our appointments."
Beijer Electronics chose SDR Team option that consists of one dedicated Lead Researcher and one dedicated Sales Development Rep. Each SDRT is overseen by a Customer Success Manager. The messaging is provided by our copywriters and campaign strategists. Apart from that, we have supervisors who control quality for each function.
"CIENCE identifies potential clients based on general criteria regarding company industry, size, and sector. Then, they target these leads through email to establish initial contact and encourage a response. Soon after, they follow up via phone calls to solidify appointments with my salespeople."
We secure the quality of the appointments at two stages of the process. First, we find high-quality leads that match your Ideal Customer Profile and make sure that their contact data is up-to-date and correct. Then we initiate conversations with them in order to check if they're a good fit for your company.
