BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a Founder of the Ukrainian PITAYA brand. We create innovative swimwear. The fabric we use for all our products allows you to enjoy the sun without the constant need to reapply sunscreen. Our swimwear acts like an SPF 35 cream that covers 60-85% of the skin while giving you a unique, stylish look.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Addlium?

We hired Addlium for searching new business partners for distributing our products on the external markets.

SOLUTION

How did you select this firm and what were the deciding factors?

We selected Addlium because we know they are professionals in social selling and have learned how to use this approach correctly in the B2B sector. Also, as a Ukrainian company, we support our local businesses.

Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package.

We have strong brand awareness in Ukraine, and now our main objective is to scale up our presence on the global market. And for that, we need reliable local distributors. We stand out with competitive advantages like unique patterns, custom designs, and a comprehensive product line. We have strong expertise in B2C sales inside of our team but lack the resources and skills to work with businesses.

First, the Addlium team helped us to create a full image of our B2B ideal customer profile and choose the right focus. They do all operational tasks in search of target contacts and make the first touch with them on our behalf. Moreover, they advise our content managers on content strategy for B2B audiences on LinkedIn. Additionally, they provided us with sales consultation sessions on further steps of lead processing.

Four people; CDO in the role of Project Manager, a Content Manager, and two persons from the Lead Generation Department

Can you share any outcomes from the engagement that demonstrate progress or success?

We got 10+ marketing-qualified leads in 2 months. As a Founder, I'd always wish for more leads for our sales funnel, but I evaluate this as quite good results for a start. In B2B, quality is before quantity. We are on the right path.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Excellent. Regular communication helped us to find the touch points, especially at the start.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Just like us, they are passionate about what they do. That is the key to your own and your client's success.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

At the time, we're more than satisfied with the ongoing workflow.
