Background & Challenges

Initial ROI: 1.2× on one-off email blasts

Pain Points:

Role-Based Lists: Customized lists for VPs of Supply Chain, Operations Directors, and Procurement Managers.

2. Multi-Touch Email Sequences

Value-First Content: Emails open with case studies, ROI figures, and industry benchmarks.
Behavioral Triggers: Follow-ups only sent to contacts who opened or clicked key assets.

3. Warm Calling Cadence

Contextual Scripts: Reps referenced each prospect’s email interactions.
Two-Phase Calling: Discovery Call to uncover pain points, followed by a Solution Briefing.
