Exceeding Targets and Expectations for Document Presentation Solutions [CASE STUDY]

Exceeding Targets and Expectations for Document Presentation Solutions

The Client

The Client is a global print materials manufacturer leader and has been providing their customers with a complete range of systems and accessories for office and individual print presentation needs for more than 30 years.

Integrity, fairness, loyalty, accountability and respect are the values they live in their commitment to being constantly recognized as a world leader in print solutions.

The Challenge

The Client’s history narrates back to 1939 when they started as a niche printing enterprise in Georgia, USA. The business grew and progressed through a carousel of business activities around the globe for the succeeding years: asset acquisitions, manufacturing and development of new products and opening of new sites for offices and warehouses.

In 2005, merger deals, sites expansion and newly manufactured printing products and solutions happened one after another, year after year. The rapid business growth apparently demanded for more tasks to be done, as well as utilization of advanced technology that would expedite operational processes in order to cater to bigger demands of the now extensive customer base.

In 2013, the print materials manufacturer leader came to realize that the new range of printing products and solutions now have advanced features and benefits that required holistic messaging to position to target customers, and that this new messaging would best be delivered with some marketing help from an expert lead generation provider. They were clear on the two things they needed assistance with: the management of their huge database and the setting of appointments for them.

The Callbox Solution

Data Profiling

Callbox provides holistic campaign management to its clients and that includes providing them the most accurate and well-managed database. Regardless of who owns the contact list, Callbox obliges itself to cleanse and profile the list before, during and until the campaign ends.

  • Data Cleansing – all contacts on the database are called to confirm every piece of business information
  • Deduplication – missing details are retrieved and necessary changes are applied to eliminate goneaways, duplicate entries, and contacts that fall outside the target criteria.
  • Data Verification – contact names and contact numbers are validated, as well as email addresses, postal codes, and other pertinent contact details.

Appointment Setting

Callbox’s Multi-Channel Lead Generation services did not only make it possible for the Client to manage their huge database but at the same time get their message to the right decision maker at the proper time.

The appointment setting campaign criteria included the following:

  • Prospect to answer only two (2) simple qualifying questions
  • Prospect should agree to receive sample products from the Client
  • Schedule a phone appointment with their global sales representatives.

Results

Success!

The Callbox team delivered an average of 5 appointments per day for two campaign periods, exceeding the Client’s target of 2 to 3 per day, and even closed deals with two large businesses.

Even before the campaign, the Client expressed confidence and trust in Callbox as they employed 6 appointment setters for the initial campaign period and added 4 more upon renewal. For the Callbox team, they just did what they had to do to assist the Client: manage the database and set appointments, but for the Client, outstanding:

“I didn’t get the chance while we were on the phone but I wanted to take a moment to make it clear that you and your team do an OUTSTANDING job for us and I am very happy and excited about their performance. Their sales exceed all other agents combined. Please encourage them to keep up the good work and remain motivated. I hope to visit you guys in 2017.”

“I just wanted to touch base with you guys this morning. I want you to know that you did an excellent!! job on yesterday. (closed deal company) keep it going. KEEP PUSHING!”

“Management was very happy to see the way you guys stepped up production yesterday and they want it to continue as well as increase.”

“Excellent job on (closed deal company). Let’s keep the numbers coming!”

The campaign has been running for more than three years now.

Vibration Test Leader Handles Tough Competition with Callbox Help


THE CLIENT



ABOUT

The vibration and shock testing industry will not be as strong and reliable as it is now without this one company’s 50-year existence that continuously provides advanced vibration and shock system technologies to the market.

This leading vibration test equipment provider is composed of a team of engineers with vast exposure and professional experience who pride themselves in having been recognized as a major force in the industry and currently, globally servicing 30 countries with a broad range of vibration solutions and equipment.

TARGET CRITERIA

Location: Singapore
Industry: Manufacturing, Engineering, Construction and Oil & Gas


THE CHALLENGE



The Client is driven by a goal to provide affordable and timely professional service thus giving them all the rights to confidently claim success for 50 long years.

However, the need to innovate and expand grew as competitors aggressed with new and different products and services that quickly mushroomed in the market. The Client, in order to not just keep up but to get ahead of the competition, carefully studied the competition and came up with strategic steps designed to address their concern:

  • First, conduct a market survey to profile accurate contact information of the target decision maker who would be the best recipient of the offer letter via email.
  • Second, introduce and promote specific products like Conditioning Monitoring Systems and Test & Measurement/Engineering Services.

With no amount of fickleness, the Client decided to outsource their marketing efforts but was quite skeptical on who would be the right lead generation provider who could design the best solution. There were three providers on the list but the Client chose Callbox.



THE CALLBOX SOLUTION



Callbox tailored a Multi-Channel Marketing solution according to the Client’s requirements which started with:


With the use of the Pipeline Lead Nurture Tool, the Callbox team sent test mail to all contacts in order to test activeness. Inactive contacts were immediately replaced, scrubbing off DNE and DNCs and revalidating bounced emails, while active ones were promptly called to be profiled by updating the contact details: contact name, business address, phone numbers and emails. This list management activity was done all throughout the campaign period.

Once the target decision maker is profiled and agreed to opt-in for information, the agent sends out an initial copy of the Client’s brochure which contains CTAs like query box, website link and downloadable forms and product-specific brochures.

Callbox targets a one-call-resolution at every call made, so after the target confirms receipt of the information on his email, the agent proposes an appointment for him and the Client’s consultant, otherwise the call will be disposed as a follow-up for a couple of days (or at the prospect’s preferred schedule to be followed-up).


The appointment setting part contained two (2) sets of probing questions needed to be answered by prospects in order for the Client to uncover important information that will further profile the target business as to which product or service would address their needs:

A. Conditioning Monitoring Systems (strictly for Construction, Oil & Gas, Facility Management, Civil Engineering industries.

  • Do you have a monitoring system?
  • Are you facing problems in building maintenance? If yes, what kind of problems?
  • Do you have a maintenance engineer? In-house or outsourced? If outsourced, who? Contact name if possible.

B. Test & Measurement / Engineering Services (for all the other industries, such as: aerospace, automotive, chemical, medical – pharmaceutical, marine, plastic & polymer, consumer electronics, defence, communication, energy, healthcare, manufacturing)

  • Do you have in-house R&D?
  • Do you have in-house Quality Assurance Specialists? Do they do tests?
  • What kind of tests?


RESULTS



The campaign returned the following results:

  • 273 were Completely Profiled
  • 47 Appointments were set and received tailored proposals
  • 10 Leads were completed and currently in discussion with the Client’s consultants

The profiled contacts, appointments sets and leads completed apparently showed that the Client made the right decision to conceive and implement a much aggressive marketing strategy that resolved their business challenges and achieved the following successes: accurately profiled contact information of the target decision maker who were the best recipients of the offer letters and specific products like Conditioning Monitoring Systems and Test & Measurement / Engineering Services were fully and clearly introduced and promoted to target prospects.

Now, the vibration test equipment leader isn’t only fully equipped to innovate and expand its products and services but is more than ready to overcome any challenge that may come its way.

Callbox: Instrumental to Manufacturer’s Marketing Success


THE CLIENT



ABOUT

The Client is a 50-year old market leader that provides high technology tools and systems like desktop, portable, handheld XRF and OES materials identification and analysis systems, as well as coating thickness measurement and gauging instrumentation to industrial customers with diverse needs. They design and manufacture equipment that can fabricate, analyze and manipulate matter at the atomic and molecular levels.

TARGET INDUSTRIES
Steel Manufacturing, Foundries, Automotive Manufacturers

TARGET PROSPECTS
Quality Manager

TARGET LOCATIONS
Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Korea


THE CHALLENGE



The Client, although prided with the value proposition of providing A1 screening tools for fast and accurate analysis of the widest variety of materials, truthfully admitted that coping with global competitions would be difficult to achieve without a partnership with some significant sectors like sales and marketing. Their products’ key benefits (point and shoot, verification in seconds, rapid, reliable and rugged, non-destructive testing and no sample preparation, easy to carry) were first-rate features that set them apart from competitors but were hardly positioned to their target customers’ attention due to some deferring areas in the business process that withheld progress and expansion goals:

  • Customers database is inaccurate with incomplete contact information
  • Customers evade long discussions and questions which inhibits the Client from being able to further explain how their product or service could be beneficial to the customer
  • Some customers’ needs were understated which caused application of inadequate solutions by the Client


THE CALLBOX SOLUTION



As an industry expert on providing sales and marketing solutions to a global market, Callbox, upon its initial discussion with the Client deemed the course unique and framed a fitting solution for the aforementioned concerns.


The Client saw their database as obsolete as the last update was done over 3 years ago, but Callbox’s customer profiling service recreated the list as new.

The Callbox team first sent out initial emails to the current list to see which contacts were still active by tracking replies and actions like website visits, clicked links and downloads. Those emails contained a one-page informational content which included CTAs like links to landing pages about specific subjects the target would be interested to see, website links, Q&A boxes and downloadable collaterals. Inactive contacts were scrubbed off to leave room for newly acquired ones.

Active contacts in the old list and the newly acquired database which was provided by the Callbox team, were then called by the agent to verify all pertinent information like contact name, business name, business address, active phone numbers, email addresses, social media accounts and industry focus.

Both lists were then deduplicated to ensure calling time and effort were maximized throughout the duration of the campaign.


The final action in the lead generation program was appointment setting. The Callbox team meticulously drafted a script for the campaign which would uncover the target’s concerns at base level. Only three key probing questions were asked of the target but were surefire to uncover the prospect’s pain points. This opened an avenue for the Client to speak with their target prospects how their products and services would benefit their business.



RESULTS



The combined lists from the Client and Callbox totaled to 4,894 profiled and updated records. The three-point probing approach unleashed significant answers from the prospects which were instrumental to the Client in tailor-fitting solutions for them.

Out of the 4,894 records, the Callbox team generated 93 appointments and 51 warm follow ups, and before the three-month campaign ended, the Client was already preparing proposals for three large companies.
The technology leader concluded that indeed, with Callbox’s Appointment Setting program, business advancement and expansion were imminent.

Callbox Solves Software Companys Marketing Conundrum [CASE STUDY]

Callbox Solves Software Company’s Marketing Conundrum

The Client

The Client is an American company offering PaaS (Platform as a Service) cloud based applications such as VoIP Services and other products including Cloud File Sharing, Cloud Email, Mobile Device Management and AV, and Secure SMS to businesses. The Client also gives them additional value by combining private and public clouds into a single, integrated environment. The company prides itself as a one-stop shop for all IT needs and specializes in secured IT platforms for companies providing next-generation services.

The Client is based in the state of Georgia, but covers the continental United States, targeting the Healthcare, Hotels, Retail, Law, Daycare, and Private Sector Industries.

The Challenge

Despite working with a number of third party providers for their lead generation campaigns, finding interested companies to engage with their services for the long term was a challenge. Unfortunately for IPV Solutions, their previous partners were not equipped with the best tactics and tools that would scale up the sales numbers.

It did not help that most of their present customers may not have been the best people to take full advantage of their enterprise-ready solutions that encourage and enable mobile and global connectivity. That and the possibility that their previous partners didn’t exert enough effort to uncover the prospects’ needs such as business continuity and disaster recovery protection or continuous communications and go-anywhere mobile capabilities, which incidentally, IPV Solutions provide.

Hoping to find the answers to these problems, the Client searched for a reliable partner who can provide them with a list of accurate contacts and quality appointments with interested prospects who have the need for cloud integration and secured IT platforms, and who would most likely keep a long-term engagement with them.

The Callbox Solution

To address the Client’s problem about the quality of appointments, the team carried out their best effort to profile and update each contact information with each call, and took the opportunity to ask decision makers probing questions to uncover not just perceived, but actual business needs. These were significant factors in generating high converting appointments.

The Callbox team utilized the dependable Callbox Pipeline’s Lead Nurture Tool which efficiently automated tasks that streamlined the workflow.

Lead Nurture Tool’s list cleansing feature took care of contact profiling, while custom emails were automatically sent to prospects in a scheduled manner. Part of what makes this reliable tool efficient is that, every action taken by prospects like clicking a website or submitting a form is monitored in real-time and callers respond to them immediately.

As is always the case, all call activities were automatically logged in to the Callbox Pipeline, Callbox’s lead management and marketing automation platform where the Client can view, process or download reports of leads and/or appointments generated by Callbox agents.

The Callbox Pipeline’s Lead Nurture Tool made sure the call list was accurate throughout the whole campaign, while the Callbox’s SMART Calling system guaranteed to reach the right prospects at the right time, when they are most available to talk. This seamless synergy turned the operation into one a hassle-free campaign.

Results

The initial three-month program has generated a total of 29 success calls (28 phone appointments, 1 lead). While not jaw-dropping, it was a stark departure from the meager results their previous partners have provided. Currently, the team is on its first renewal. Feedback from the client have all been positive – from the professional way the team members conduct themselves to the quality of appointments that have been set. As a result, IPV Solutions has decided to move forward for two more months with the engagement.

Demand Generation Callbox Takes Business Loans Marketing 'Laid Back - Were Back' [CASE STUDY]

Demand Generation: Callbox Takes Business Loans Marketing from “Laid back to” “Look out! We’re back!”

The Client

The Client is a financial company that offers unsecured business loans to small and medium businesses in North South Wales, Australia. They grant loans to businesses for varied purposes ranging from site renovation, marketing and advertising to vendor-financing. The fast loan approval of 2-3 working days and custom packages they offer have become popular and have earned them client referrals.

The Client enjoyed dominion in the financial loans business in NSW for years, carrying with them the legacy of the mother company who cradled almost all financial needs of most of the SMEs in the state before it gave up all its business rights to the Client in 2005.

The Challenge

The Client kept its good business reputation among customers which enabled them to sustain a good number of customers in their database until competitors grew and mushroomed in the market, offering similar financing options which threatened to kill much of their business. This has impacted customer acquisition and even account maintenance which urged the Client to reconsider their usual laid back marketing style of waiting for customers to ring their phones or knock at the office door. They needed a more proactive strategy that would address the following issues:

  • Depleting number of customers as competitors are quick to grab them
  • Limited target area due to limited staff and resources
  • Unqualified targets who just want information with no genuine interest

The Callbox Solution

Callbox designed a unique Demand Generation program for the client. The process was structured in such a way that it would get the word out on the Client’s business loan offerings and create a buzz and qualified interest among its target customers by:

  • Maximizing staff and available resources both of the Client’s and Callbox;
  • Filtering the most qualified customers for immediate conversion; and
  • Generating a list of potential customers that the Client can continue to follow-up in the succeeding months.

The Client ultimately wanted to create a master list of target prospects that they can use in any of their upcoming internal marketing campaigns. With a more aggressive marketing approach in mind, the Client knew that they needed to be armed with a qualified list of potential customers that they could tap if they wanted to beat out the competition.

Maximizing Staff and Available Resources

The Callbox team and the Client discussed the campaign goals and requirements in the Kick-Off Meeting which was followed by Callbox’s preparation of list of target decision makers. At the same time, the Callbox Pipeline and the Automated Nurture Scheme were set-up while the email copies, landing page and call script were designed and approved by the Client and went through tests. Product training and call simulation concluded the preliminary actions.

Filtering the Most Qualified Customers

With the use of the Callbox Pipeline’s Lead Nurture Tool, Initial or Introductory emails were sent out to the target list which aimed to hit two birds at the same time – validate email address and present the offer. The nurture tool is able to track real-time actions so Opened Emails, Web Visits and Social Media Connections were easily monitored by the Callbox team. Prospects who replied via the said actions were called by the agent to qualify if these prospects have genuine interest.

Prospects that were called and were identified to have genuine need and interest were profiled and tagged as Lead Completed in the Pipeline for the Client to promptly handle.

Generating Potential customers to Follow-up

Other prospects who did reply but were gauged to have minimal interest, just wanted to know more information, or are just looking for options for future reference were still profiled by updating and verifying all contact information specially email addresses, as follow-up email copies were sent in drip manner as part of the nurture process to keep in constant contact with the prospect.

The Client never lost track of any positive contacts as the Lead Nurture Tool generated and sent real-time alerts and updates via the the Client’s Callbox Pipeline account and email.

Results

Creating the Master List of Qualified Prospects

The campaign delivered significant returns, delivering precisely what the Client expected.

Out of the 4500 list of targets emailed, 540 (12%) responded and were classified as qualified prospects with genuine interest, which is a 50% increase from their laid back strategy. These were prospects who either replied via email, connected through social media, or visited the website and submitted a query form that specifically stated their purpose for wanting to avail a loan. This database of positive respondents, located across a much wider geographical area and profiled by Callbox with a list score of 78%, represented the initial group of people they can actively market their loans to. The Client could now proceed with their promotional efforts with confidence, knowing that they will be talking to people who have expressed varying levels of interest in their product.

Callbox’s Demand Generation campaign proved to be the much needed jump start to the Client’s sputtering business – it increased awareness and interest among target contacts, broadened the target area, and generated a well-profiled, phone-verified and updated contact list of prospects, enabling them to work their way back into great sales numbers.
The Client recently signed up for another Demand Generation campaign with Callbox.

Callbox’s Three-Step Tactic to Success for Marketing Consulting Specialist


THE CLIENT



ABOUT

The Client is a Marketing Consulting Agency which was founded in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2002. The company is an event specialist mainly for IT and Software industries providing Signature Campaigns, Event Management, Retail Services, Partner Programmes and Content Development in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, and had ran several successful events for IT giants like Intel and Microsoft.

As the Client’s reputation grew in 2007, more industry giants like Bosch, Castrol, DiGi and Disney Channel entrusted them to handle major events which brought them more acclaim in the region.

TARGET INDUSTRIES
All industry types and sizes

TARGET PROSPECTS
IT Managers / IT Admin / Helpdesk Managers / Infrastructure Managers

TARGET LOCATIONS
Singapore & Malaysia


THE CHALLENGE



The Client’s successes in the past did not leave them overconfident and content with their achievements but rather drove them to set their sights higher with plans for expansion of their services in the Southeast Asia by providing service to multinational IT and software companies. This objective was crystal clear but the tools and processes to run the project remained a gray area. This led the Client to look for a third party provider who possesses the expertise that would help them realize their plans. They considered partnering with a telemarketing company – specifically someone who has rich experience in events marketing campaigns and can provide a large and well profiled database for them.

Callbox was among three providers that were shortlisted by the Client but stood out to be their best choice in the end. Find out the reason why.



THE CALLBOX SOLUTION



The Client planned out a trade event for a giant IT firm. The objective was to gather as many attendees as possible and get interested prospects who would be good targets to follow up for succeeding events.

Callbox, known for its thought technology as a top lead generation provider, designed a multi-channel marketing campaign for the Client and employed the use of the Callbox Pipeline Lead Nurture Tool, a marketing automation tool that streamlines actions and communication between the Client and the targets, creating a seamless workflow for the Callbox team throughout the duration of the campaign.

The presentation of the whole idea of how the project will be ran was the very reason why the Client blithely chose Callbox over the other two lead generation providers.

The process was easy as counting 1-2-3:

  1. Event invitation emails were sent to prospects before the calling commenced. This was coursed through the Callbox Pipeline Lead Nurture tool which served a double purpose – to formally invite prospects and at the same time to validate the information details of the contacts in the list. The validation process filtered invalid contacts like DNC and Bounced emails by moving these entries from the target list to a repository list. Once updated, these were uploaded back to the target list to be blasted with email invites.
  2. A one call resolution tactic was applied in making follow-up calls to prospects who took actions like opened email, replied or clicked a link on the page upon receipt of the invites. The agent’s follow-up call was not simply to share more about the event details or answer the prospect’s queries but as much as possible, aimed to seize the lead by walking them through the whole registration process. Once done, the agent immediately sent out a calendar invite that contained complete event details like title, date and time, venue and confirmation codes as a steady reminder for the prospect.
  3. The third and last step was calling all the registrants a day or two before the event date to confirm their attendance. During the confirmation call, the agent had to make sure that the registrant had accepted or accepts the calendar invite and confirms his or his representative’s attendance to the event.


RESULTS



The campaign officially registered 129 confirmed attendees for the giant IT company. But for this Marketing Consulting specialist, the successfully concluded campaign was just a start of even bigger things, for them the best thing was nurturing 150 warm follow-ups who are all possible attendees to upcoming events, and a rich database containing well-profiled and accurate contacts.

The event campaign saved the Client much time and money as they not only gathered a good number of attendees for the IT giant’s event but at the same time, currently reserves another batch of warm prospects for the next event that wouldn’t necessarily require much time and effort to follow-up.
In fact, as of press time, Callbox is set to launch another event campaign for the Client.

Global Media Runs On Accurate Market Data [CASE STUDY]

Global Media Runs On Accurate Market Data

The Client

The Client is a global media company providing more than 30,000 marketing programs from the Fortune 50 to emerging start-ups for 17 long years now. Their core services include targeted content, active audiences and innovative capabilities that run via a platform, to assist their clients in engaging with revenue-driven technology marketing programs.

The Challenge

To profile the data and conduct a survey among the Client’s existing customers.

The Callbox Solution

First Campaign – Data Profiling (2013)

The Client provided Callbox a list of their existing customers to be updated and profiled. The data profiling campaign wasn’t ran generically as merely updating wrong information, but rather implemented based on the Client’s specific process that required further research and data recording to complete the action.

Client’s Process:

  1. To call all the contacts in the list
  2. Verify all the details: name of pic, company name, job title, email address and direct line
  3. In case of “no answer”, the caller will have to look up the phone number for the company’s main switchboard, and attempt to verify the contact’s details; while for contacts who have left the company, the caller must use publicly available sources like Google and LinkedIn
  4. All information gathered shall be saved and sent to Client every 2 days

Note: The caller must not find/replace a contact and email address other than what’s in the list.

First Campaign Result

Second Campaign – Data Profiling (2014)

The second campaign worked on profiling more databases but delved more into the sources from which and how the information was verified which required accuracy in call disposals.The Leads were classified as:

  • Profiled by phone
  • Profiled by online sources
  • Employment validated
  • Employment invalidated
  • Unreachable/No updates

Aside from updating and cleansing the list, a step-by-step Question-&-Answer form was to be filled out by the caller in a spreadsheet that will detail how the data verification was done for each call.

Below are just 5 of the 11 questions and possible answers:

  • Did the phone number we provided work? Yes/No (Yes=the phone rang; No=the phone number was invalid or has been disconnected)
  • If yes, Did someone answer the phone? Yes, the lead him/ herself; Yes, someone other than the lead; No, nobody answered the phone)
  • If yes: Were you able to speak to the lead? Yes/No
  • If yes: Did the lead confirm the job profile and contact information we have on file for them? Yes/No
  • Did the lead give you updated information that is reflected in the spreadsheet? Yes/No
Second Campaign Result

  • Big Data
    Question: Does the business plan to purchase or upgrade big data technologies in the next 12 months?
  • Cloud Infrastructure
    Question: How does the business deploy server resources in the next 12 months?
  • Desktop Virtualization
    Question: Does the business plan to upgrade or invest in desktop virtualization solutions within the next 12 months?
  • Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity
    Question: Will the business be implementing or undertaking a DR related project in the next 12 months?

Answers to the survey were uploaded via links provided by the Client.

For more than 50 years now, the business holds the reputation in quality that has been built on strict, on-time delivery, and accurate professional transcription for events, meetings, interviews, arbitration and courts throughout the country.

Product & Service Offered

For the lead-off campaign, the focus was to set appointments with specific decision makers for specific industries. In those meetings, Client introduced and discussed the feature and benefits of VIQ Solutions – the world’s leading expert in digital audio, video and evidence capture and management solutions.

VIQ Solutions provides digital recording applications that allow multiple channels of audio and video recordings to be recorded simultaneously with annotations and other information attached to it.

The Challenge

The project plan to partner with a lead generation company was brought about by the Client’s challenge to be able to get through arduous targets like Legal, Medical & Investigation. These are industries that require detailed transcription/dictation tasks as they deal with sensitive and delicate matters.

The Callbox Solution

The Client signed Callbox for a campaign of 10 phone appointments qualified against its “ideal customer” standards:

An agent who called for the campaign for 8 hours everyday

Despite the agent starting out with with limited knowledge on transcription services, through the Callbox leader’s orientation and training, as well as the agent’s interest to learn the mechanics and myriad of applications of such a service , the agent achieved the Client’s desired level of proficiency in speaking with prospects about VIQ Solutions.

A well-filtered database

Filtering a database for the Client’s required target industries was quite a challenge for the Callbox team, as the number of these type of organizations in a country or region is quite below standards, as compared with consumer-centric businesses. But the team still managed to work well with the approved database.

Client-approved calling script

The calling script served as a guide for the caller to keep himself aligned and knowledgeably-sounding in offering the product & services’ value proposition, and setting solid appointments with target decision makers.

LinkedIn Account

The Callbox team built and managed the LinkedIn account, which was approved and kept monitored by the Client at which conversation threads with connections were viewed.

Emails

Email templates were drafted by Callbox and were approved by the Client. The templates varied in approach depending on the call disposal set by the agent on each call.

Campaign Status Reports

The weekly reports sent to the Client discussed about statistics and feedback about the campaign. Challenges encountered by the caller in his calls were noted, and corresponding action plans were suggested and implemented for each.

Calendar Invite

A calendar invite was utilized to confirm set appointments with interested prospects. And if by chance, that a prospect declined the calendar invite, the Callbox team worked out a follow up call for a reschedule, and made sure that no appointment/lead is lost.

Results

  • Callbox was able to open the doors for more opportunities for the Client to reach quite elusive targets in the tribunals and local councils in Australia by adding 9 solid leads to their existing client list.
  • Client signed for another contract, which was for another company under his management and which offered enterprise audio and text management products and systems.
  • Client is currently nurturing all the leads and maintained communications with Callbox for possible campaigns early this year

Callbox opened more doors of opportunities for the Client by complementing its business objectives with a multi-channel marketing scheme.

THE CALLBOX SOLUTION



Campaign 1 – Call To Invite

The first couple of Call-to-Invite projects aimed to gather attendees for Asia’s largest and most comprehensive business networking event for the Global ICT industry, which was participated in by international satellite communications and services companies in Asia, and professionals from Broadcast, Production, Post Production, Digital Media, Entertainment, Houses of Worships, System Integrators, Rental Houses, and Education.

Attendees’ takeaways:
The event was not launched for mere knowledge enrichment and ideas sharing purposes for the attendees, but a plenitude of beneficial platforms for ICT professionals were introduced like Big Data Analytics, Cloud, eGovernment, eServices, Security, Smartcard/RFID and Wearables. Also featured were the latest technologies in 3D Printing, IoT, M2M, Mobile Apps, OTT and more.

Campaign 2 – Call To Invite

The second wave campaign engaged key decision makers in the manufacturing industry to access the latest precision engineering and machine tool technologies available in the global market, and key decision makers from the international oil and gas industry to showcase a comprehensive product innovation.

Attendees’ takeaways:

Local parts and components manufacturers and service providers showcased their expertise at the Capabilities Hub, which brought prospective buyers closer to the suppliers via a single platform.

How Callbox streamlined the success

The preceding call-to-invite campaigns were successfully rolled out by the Callbox team which made an abounding progress in the client’s database. Both Callbox and the exhibition leader were responsible team players in completing the project thru multitouch, multichannel marketing tools and strategies.

The Callbox Pipeline, Callbox’s Lead Management and Marketing Automation platform, stored the client’s big amount of data. The callers updated the contacts with the most current information they uncovered during the call outs. Hitting two birds with a single stone – callers invited the prospects to attend the event and preregistered them on the client’s behalf and updated/profiled the list at the same time.

The Lead Nurturing Tool was activated. A scheme was customized to send out email invites to prospects, and once the invite was opened and read, a notification prompted the callers to do a follow up call and get the prospect pre-registered.

DM Outreached. Client’s own database came up to nearly 20,000,but almost 50% of that number was deemed “Un-contactable”.Both Callbox and the client agreed to add target contacts/job titles for the expansion of the list which resulted to a wider market reach and more email invites sent to target decision makers.

Campaign 3 -Data Profiling

A profiling campaign was set off by the client at the last quarter of 2015 which aimed not only to keep their database accurate, profiled and cleansed, but to prep things up for the next coming edition of events in 2016 and 2017, and which this exhibition expert sets to run again with Callbox.

So, ask again what good reason did this trade and exhibition expert thought of working with Callbox, despite their years of experience and proven expertise?

Why Callbox?

Clearly, the fitting reply can only be Why not?

Callbox Brings the Sunshine to Sales Lead Generation

The Client

The Client is a new electricity retailer based in Sydney. The Client is rapidly hitting the Australian market with their integrated energy solutions. The current lead generation campaign they are running with Callbox is beaming with rays of potential in providing full energy service to Australian consumers.

Summary

The initial, single seat campaign period was launched in July. The main call objective was to set a face-to-face appointment for the Client with prospects bearing the discussion on the best solutions to lower down energy bills. The initial production generated 28 leads. This impressive production of leads from the initial period of calling inspired enough trust and confidence from the Client that they recommended our service to their sister company, a Clean Energy Regulator service provider. Callbox worked well and delivered the same amount of hard work and professionalism to the latter which resulted to a very good number of leads of 150, and renewal for another campaign contract.

The second part ran with 3 calling agents, and added 3 more campaigns which the Client branded as “special campaigns”, generating a total of 79 leads which finished with 96 leads. All these were achieved through the collaborated resources of both the Client’s sales team who drove so much vigor in sharing knowledge with the callers, coupled with Callbox’s multi-channel marketing processes.

  • Month 1: 28 Leads
  • Month 2: 79 Leads
  • Month 3: 96 Leads

Results

This leading energy retailer is taking delectation on each campaign month that we run for them. They value each lead delivered to them by the calling team and take pride in the glowing work relationship they have with Callbox.
