The target filter

Capacity's ICP was tight: companies with 500 or more employees in specific regions. CIENCE researched industries and accounts first, so only records that cleared the 500-plus filter entered the campaign.

Why CIENCE

"They were fantastic in managing our email marketing efforts."
Ben Kraus, Vice President of Sales

Capacity initially chose to work with CIENCE because they offered a competitive price for lead generation services. CIENCE found leads through social media platforms like LinkedIn. They then set up an email marketing system and connected it to HubSpot, Capacity's marketing automation platform, so interested parties could schedule meetings directly with their VP of Sales.

"They were very responsive and cooperative," says Ben Kraus. "Their team would address my questions and concerns in a consistent and timely manner. Generally, we spoke on a weekly basis, and they would provide a report that detailed their performance, effectiveness, and next steps."

With no internal sales team yet, CIENCE ran the whole path: LinkedIn prospecting, cold email, and a HubSpot booking link so interested prospects scheduled straight onto the VP of Sales calendar.

Results

Capacity and CIENCE first partnered in November 2018. Initially, Capacity didn't have a sales team and needed a vendor to satisfy short-term needs like securing meetings with key players and introducing their product to the market.

As of April 2020, CIENCE has secured approximately 30 meetings with their ideal prospects, several of which represented Fortune 500 companies, and one of which resulted in a six-figure contract.
