Client Challenge

 

 

 

Despite having met past quarterly lead generation goals, this DMP client had fallen short of sales revenue targets. While the client had delivered on lead goals, with a previous teleprospecting vendor, they had not met sales revenue targets, as the other vendor’s leads fell out of the sales process at a high rate and caused the client’s sales team to lose confidence in the program.

 

The client needed to deliver well-qualified, sales-ready leads to restore the sales team’s confidence in marketing, boost near term sales revenue and meet revenue targets.

 

The client chose DMP to develop and execute a qualified lead generation program that would enable their sales team to sell more to their higher education accounts.

 

 

DMP Solution

 

 

Using our reverse sales funnel engineering process, DMP worked with out client to determine the number of sales-ready leads required to meet revenue goals. We then designed and implemented a multi-touch campaign which consisted of the following:

  • DMP compiled data from our client’s existing lists, supplemented with trade show lists and rented trade publication lists to build a custom target database.
  • DMP coordinated with the client’s email vendor on a series of ten promotional email broadcasts over a four-month period. The campaign promoted hardware and software solutions within higher education, K12, and teaching hospital accounts.
  • DMP integrated teleprospecting follow-up on the email blasts with conversations based on customers’ interest in the emails. Our highly trained reps successfully promoted and cross-sold from an approved list of over 60 of the client’s products.

 

DMP scored and qualified leads per the client’s custom criteria. Only highly qualified sales-ready leads were routed to the sales team for follow-up.  Less qualified leads were kept in the nurture queue.

 

DMP exceeded sales pipeline generation goals
and contributed to a proven ROI of $428 to $1.

 

Project Success

 

The program exceeded all expectations, as DMP delivered a sales pipeline that contributed to a proven ROI of $428 to $1.

 

 

 

 

Figure 1- While DMP exceeded the sales-ready lead target by only 5%, the highly qualified nature of DMP’s sales-ready leads enabled sales to close more deals in less time.  Consequently, the program exceeded revenue goals by 600%.
