Challenges & Scope

ICP: Direct to Consumer eCommerce.

Product: 3PL warehouse and fulfillment management solutions for brands and businesses.

CIENCE Technologies coordinates the lead generation efforts for ChannelApe. After researching appropriate industries and clients, they conduct orchestrated outbound campaigns.

The resource gap
Named target: D2C brands CIENCE fills the gap Qualified meetings booked
ChannelApe knew the direct-to-consumer brands it wanted to reach, but had no internal team to run the outreach. CIENCE dropped in as that missing capacity, owning research and campaign execution so the pipeline could get built.

Why CIENCE

"I selected CIENCE for their communication and rapid response to our suggestions. They valued our input and were eager to take our recommendations or offer feedback when they thought we might be off track." to Dr. Jason DePietropaolo, Co-founder of ChannelApe.

In August 2019, ChannelApe was experiencing difficulty targeting specific companies they wanted to do business within the fulfillment industry. That's when they found CIENCE and requested assistance generating leads and running outbound cold email campaigns.

The goal was landing qualified meetings for their account executives. During the partnership, CIENCE helped ChannelApe target leads in the U.S. and Canada with several orchestrated cold email and phone outreach campaigns.

"It solves the problem of us not having the resources internally to manage such a campaign," said Dr. DePietopaolo.

Orchestrated outreach
Cold email Phone outreach One prospect U.S. and Canada
CIENCE ran cold email and phone as one coordinated motion, working leads across the U.S. and Canada. Two channels, timed together, reaching the same prospects the ChannelApe team could not on its own.

Results

As a result of the partnership, ChannelApe succeeded in its goal of landing qualified meetings with some of the top direct-to-consumer brands in the fulfillment industry.

Throughout the partnership, CIENCE acted as an extension of ChannelApe's team, being open to all ideas and suggestions. In addition, CIENCE was completely transparent of all activities conducted during the campaign, generating detailed reports on all interactions with prospects.

"The quality I loved the most about the CIENCE was their attention to detail and their rapid communication and turn around," said Dr. DePietropaolo.

Thanks to CIENCE's thoughtful and thorough research team, as well as their consideration of frequent communication, ChannelApe felt comfortable with CIENCE as a teammate throughout the entire outbound process. Dr. DePietropaolo believes that they received a full return on their investment.

"We have worked with other teams where we emailed or Slacked them and they would not respond for a day. This is not CIENCE, they are attentive and focus on details and are really eager to please"
DePeitpaolo
Full transparency
Prospect interaction Logged, nothing hidden Detailed report Rapid reply, same day Full ROI on the engagement
CIENCE logged every prospect interaction into detailed reports and answered fast, not a day later like past vendors. That open loop is what earned ChannelApe's trust and, in Dr. DePietropaolo's words, a full return on investment.
