Inspection²
Using intelligent business development to book C-level meetings in 48 hours.
Inspection² are a fast growing VC backed SaaS company. They needed support to break into a new sector and generate significant new opportunities for their pipeline.
The challenge
Having been very successful in the oil and gas industry they recognised the opportunity that 5G and wider technology changes opened up in the telecommunications sector.
With a small full-time team who were flat out on product development and existing RFP engagements, Inspection²’s CEO James had neither the internal capacity or the sector insight needed.
With focus on delivering revenue growth, James sought the help of Seeblue because they are telco industry specialists. With the right industry knowledge, connections and sales and marketing expertise they were able to take the business from a cold start to new business meetings at C-level within a 3 month period.
According to James Harrison, CEO:
The Solution
Seeblue Marketing defined a 3 phase approach.
1. Market definition, research and profiling
2. Creation of disruptive commercial insight
As an unknown brand, selling into large Enterprise businesses, you have to have something distinct and personal to disrupt your target buyers thought process. Seeblue devised a fully personalised content journey that captured C-level attention with cost and efficiency savings backed up by fact and research.
3. Campaign execution
When working 1:1 into a specific account, the most fundamental thing is agility – Seeblue built a contact strategy that utilised digital-only channels (recognising new working habits/mass home working during the COVID-19 crisis) and amended their responses daily.
By connecting C-level to C-level with personalised commercial insight, delivered in a visually appealing and highly professional way, we were able to breakthrough traditional business development barriers and create deep engagement at CEO and COO level within large Enterprise organisations.
According to James:
