What we’ve done

Prospect identification

First order of business when creating a new campaign is identifying your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). Who is your ideal client? What are they struggling with? Are they looking for solutions?

Through research and communication with Company M the Account Manager dedicated to this case built a picture of the ideal prospect and sourced the list of 2000 relevant prospects for the first month.

Cold emails

Using the data above, our Copywriter crafted personalised messages that would resonate with potential buyers. One of the main points Company M wanted to bring across is their personal approach to each customer and a personable attitude. This is exactly what the Copywriter focused on in the cold emails — a natural, friendly and excited voice.

Outreach

UMG were using a combination of LinkedIn and Email cold outreach.

The IT team set up the cold email automation service and ensured high deliverability, open and reply rates.

With the knowledge of current LinkedIn restrictions, our team sent the cold messages carefully. Small batch volumes and sparse sending times allowed the Company M marketing and sales teams to catch up on the messages and respond to interested leads right way (which increased their chances of going through with the deal).

If the prospect replied at any stage of the outreach, the Account Manager stopped the messages and handed over the communication to the client.

Reports & optimisation

The UMG prepared a detailed report for every month of the campaign, detailing the messages sent, open and reply rates and how they compare with industry averages.

Based on this information, Company M could alter any piece of the campaign accordingly. For example, we enhanced the messages for better reply rates and modified the account search to include the most relevant prospects.

At the end of the campaign Company M received a full list with everyone who responded to the outreach, with their contact information, company name, title and location, which can be used in future marketing campaigns.

Key takeaways

  • Creating an Ideal Customer Profile is crucial to an outbound email marketing campaign.
  • Understanding exactly who you are connecting with and why your offer will be beneficial will make the outreach more effective.
  • Analysing data at every stage of the campaign will allow room for improvement for maximum efficiency
