Needed to Save Time 

The client wanted their sales representatives & inside sales team to spend more time closing leads and building relationships. 

No Previous Plan in Place 

With their current strategy relying heavily on relationships & referrals, new management wanted to focus on other ways of generating more sustainable, high-quality leads.

To meet new expectations, the sales team needed to quickly ramp up their prospecting efforts with high-quality leads. They also wanted the ability to scale their project

Wanted a Transparent Partner 

 Having good data is everything in outbound prospecting, the client wanted a trusted and transparent partner to track, analyze, and make necessary improvements, as needed.  

 

Looking to Revaluate the Market

The client was looking to revaluate the market and search for higher-quality prospects they had previously been unable to find contact information for. 

Needed Custom Messaging 

An industry leader for over 70 years, the client needed custom messaging that spoke to their values and long-term success in the industry. 

The Superhuman Solution:

Superhuman Prospecting (SHP) created a custom B2B appointment setting strategy, utilizing cold calling and additional inside sales touches to generate a strong pipeline of high-quality manufacturing leads for the clients in-house teams. 

Custom Cold Call Strategy

To begin the campaign, SHP collaborated with the client on a series of kickoff calls to analyze vital details, objectives, and strategies in designing the campaign and value proposition message.  

Expert Manual Researchers 

Using the 3-prong approach, SHP’s team of expert researchers manually sourced, checked, and cleansed the marketing contact lists to ensure that all criteria were met with the highest quality data.

The H2H Sales Methodology

SHP crafted custom messaging around the clients features and benefits, such as flexible formulations, same-day shipping, consignment options, price-match guarantee, free samples and technical support.  

Multiple TouchPoints

To increase conversation rates and appointments, SHP tailored the strategy to include multiple touchpoints. All calls were handled by experienced cold callers based in the United States. 

Live Call Tracker

The client received access to a campaign call tracker through our company portal. The call tracker acted as a report providing call results, notes, and metrics updated in real-time.

Milestone Meetings

Direct Conversations

Through direct conversations, SHP was able to help the client gain additional insight into their positioning in the market while identifying uncovered pain points that would help them close more appointments.

Lower Costs

Without the need for internal hiring, our client was able to save time and money on recruiting, software, hardware, and training.  They also did not have to worry about the high turnover in these sales positions.
