Global technology client (EMEA Campaign)

Inbound inquiries from high traffic web landing pages were not being managed and the lost opportunity cost was largely unknown. Follow-up was typically “cherry picking” at best. Within weeks of engaging eti for lead follow up and qualification, it was determined that inquiries could be better channeled and tiered, building a growing sales opportunity pipeline. This enabled a significant focus to follow up on inquiries diligently in a live call and create significant business opportunities. Overall program presented ROI of 45 to 1.

High tech manufacturer

Sales teams were the front-line response to inbound inquiries. Little was known about follow up activity and related sales and campaign results. By removing the front-end lead qualification responsibility from Sales, their productivity was increased significantly. The success of the program enabled it to grow more than five fold from inception. Overall ROI was $88 to $1 invested. (For detailed case study, Read the entire case study here.)

World Leading Financial Services Company

A global financial services company engaged eti Sales Support to develop and execute a comprehensive lead generation, qualification and appointment-setting program to capture greater market share for their corporate expense management solutions. While the company had a dominant market share in the industry, it had been ineffective at mapping and targeting new prospect companies to support their team of more than 125 sales people in North America.

The eti solution provided them with a steady, predictable flow of qualified sales opportunities as well as a systematic methodology for tracking every opportunity and evaluating sales force effectiveness. With eti's help, they were able to build a growing sales pipeline from both inbound lead qualification and outbound lead generation activities that resulted in more than $1 billion in total annual revenue - $400 of revenue for every $1 of project spend!

Leading Provider of Rich Media Management and Video Analytics Solutions

This client's sales force was overwhelmed managing near term prospects, especially as interest and demand for the company's offerings began to grow dramatically. Thus, they had very limited bandwidth to spend the time needed to generate and cultivate new sales opportunities. The client elected to outsource the front-end lead generation function using two competing models.

The client engaged a "pay for performance" company to arrange appointments for their sales team (low hanging fruit) and compared their results to eti's longer-term, systematic business development approach - building and nurturing a growing pipeline of new sales opportunities, and delivering only those that were fully qualified to the sales team. Within six weeks, eti's approach gave evidence of significantly greater ROI and they discontinued the services of the competitor.

Market Leader for Call Center Monitoring Software

The client sells their call center software solutions via both a direct sales force and channel partners. They needed a lead generation/qualification program that was capable of supporting automated multi-tiered distribution across segmented markets based on both geography and prospect size. eti undertook a program of outbound cold calling to generate and qualify new sales opportunities for both the direct sales force and the channel partners. Within the first 90 days, $250,000 in sales had closed, providing an ROI of over 5 times the initial investment. Moreover, potential opportunities worth more than triple the booked sales revenue remained in the prospect and sales pipelines that had been built and cultivated during that initial period.
