We set out with a clear focus on boosting our lead generation and appointment setting within the niche markets of the Food & Beverage Manufacturing sector and related industries. The work involved a strategic mix of: 

• identifying potential leads through detailed research
• reaching out to these leads via tailored cold email campaigns and LinkedIn marketing efforts
• setting up meetings with key decision-makers

The ultimate goal was to not only meet but exceed our target with 51 qualified appointments in three months, advancing prospects through our sales pipeline and securing a milestone with at least one prospect signing an NDA. This comprehensive approach was crafted to directly support our objectives of expanding our reach and effectively showcasing our carbon management platform to a specialized audience.

We exceeded our initial target by booking 51 appointments, surpassing our goal with still time left in our subscription period for potential additional meetings. This achievement was not just about numbers; it was about quality engagements across the US, Europe, and Australia.

Furthermore, six of these prospects have been actively moving through the stages of our sales pipeline, with one already progressing to signing an NDA. This indicates not just an increase in quantity but also an enhancement in the quality of leads.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Belkins had a broad scope of work. They predicted that promoting our Agile transformation service would be challenging because the ICP companies are large, and the service is quite specific. That’s why the start of the project was difficult. So they implemented several approaches and ran different campaigns for us in English, French, and German. And a little over a month later, Belkins started booking appointments. 
The key deliverable was to schedule appointments, and they succeeded in setting up meetings in various regions. Belkins booked 21 meetings for us, with 13 of them originating from the German campaign. The quality of the appointments increased dramatically over time as Belkins understood our proposition and target customer better and better.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Belkins has booked 21 appointments for us (in a period of 4.5 months) reaching out to brand new cold contacts. It has been a good success, especially with the latest appointments. We are progressing our conversations with these contacts and have now moved some of them to the proposal stage.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Belkins has not only helped us acquire leads but has also become a valued partner in our journey towards growth. Their dedication to our objectives and their ability to adapt to our evolving needs have made them an indispensable asset to our business.
