Multi-touch email and telemarketing strategy delivering 50 sales opportunities for Niche Jobs

Matt Farrah

Co-Founder, Niche Jobs

“Really easy to work with from day one. Air are professional and good humoured which helped make it not just a successful partnership but an enjoyable campaign to work on. Thanks guys!”

Niche Jobs
Overview

Niche Jobs were set to begin a telemarketing campaign with Air Marketing sales services.

They wanted to increase the volume of opportunities in their pipeline by talking to NHS Trusts and care homes, communicating how they were uniquely placed to help their recruitment needs.

Niche Jobs wanted to emphasise how they are different from other recruitment boards; they are a community of healthcare professionals and help people find roles within the sector and share insights, stories and hints and tips – providing a far more holistic approach to attracting the best healthcare talent.

They felt that they needed more than the one touchpoint within their campaign and considered how best to approach this.

THE CHALLENGE...

Emphasising the benefits of partnering with a healthcare recruitment expert

Niche Jobs had already established their target audience, so we proposed implementing a pre-call drip email campaign and a warm lead nurture email campaign that would support the calls made by sales services.

These emails would highlight the community aspect of Niche Jobs, signposting potential clients in the direction of 4 of their websites and online forums.

To create the pre-campaign email and accurately communicate the benefits of their service, our team delivered the following:

  • Held in-depth discussions with Niche Jobs’ MD to establish their brand story and how they wanted to communicate their value proposition to the NHS Trusts and Care Homes.
  • Researched relevant barriers and challenges within the health sector to inform how Niche Jobs could help solve their target audience’s pain points and shape the campaign’s messaging.
  • Content creation for 12 separate emails, each with different content, media and research dependent on the sector.
  • Completed detailed reporting of the outcomes of the email campaigns.

Our Response...

A joined-up approach delivering great results

Niche Jobs were pleased with our approach, and the email campaigns created as part of this project. The work delivered closely matched what they had envisioned when considering an additional touchpoint in their campaign.

The campaign supported the telemarketing activity delivered by Air, and any ‘hot leads’ identified from engagement in the emails were prioritised and fast-tracked so Air’s team to capitalise on their interest while they were prime for a conversation.

Across both email campaigns, 251 potential clients engaged with the content. Thanks to Air Marketing’s assistance, Niche Jobs had 50 open opportunities in their sales pipeline.

Outsourced lead generation fuelling millions in SME energy loans for E.ON

Channel and Consultant Manager, E.ON

Air Marketing worked with our Solutions Team from August 2018  – August 2019. They acted as our outsourced telemarketing and demand generation team who nurtured prospects and pipelined opportunities to our sales channels. Air were able to share their expertise and accommodate a number of specific requirements. There was a heavy focus on visibility of performance via their online portal and bespoke dashboards; which were critical for transparency which they were able to deliver. It was beneficial that the people and culture aligned with our own which allowed our in house team and the Air team to work in harmony. Engagement with training and an enthusiasm to do well helped the transition from working our campaigns and fulfilling our brief.

EON
Overview

E.ON had recognised that their average sales cycle was very long, typically 1-2 years for some of their highest revenue B2B products and services. 

When working towards driving sales over the line, internally, they were finding this cycle challenging and time consuming to manage.

Aware that to improve their sales conversion rate they would need to nurture their prospects through the longer sales cycle, they looked for an external partner to help. They needed a partner who could provide guidance on creating a campaign which would generate opportunities and nurture prospects through the buyer journey to assist with their ongoing sales conversions. When partnering with an external marketing and sales provider, it was essential that the outsourced team were disciplined when following their brand guidelines and recognisable tone of voice.

Their success so far has always been a result of their ability to build a strong brand image that is green, innovative and interconnected across a range of service solutions, therefore, it was key that they worked with a partner who understood this collaborative approach and could build upon this heritage.

THE CHALLENGE...

A key driver which encouraged this company to work with marketing services was our experience of working collaboratively with sales services, a full cycle sales and acquisition partnership.

Holding strong emphasis on aligning their marketing and sales strategy, this company wanted to increase their opportunities and nurture those prospects who were coming into their sales funnel. As a result, marketing worked with sales to implement a two-prong approach.

Beginning a telemarketing campaign with Air Marketing, marketing ran a drip and nurture email campaign that would further warm the leads being called by sales. These emails were topical to the clean energy movement and addressed real pain-points, which Air had already uncovered as being relevant among the prospects being contacted.

In order to implement these campaigns, Air:

  • Held in-depth discussions with the E.ON Solutions Team to establish exactly what areas of their business needed more opportunities fed into their funnel.
  • Researched the current climate and gathered information on issues experienced amongst prospects who are with other providers, research supported by Air’s conversations.
  • Familiarised themselves with their clients’ brand and utilised their internal hub so content creation was topical, and the HTML design was uniform to the brands universal image.
  • Wrote the copy for multiple emails which were A/B tested to maximise the success of the overall campaign.
  • Setup campaign automated triggers to further nurture prospects on their journey.
  • Cleansed data by passing opened, clicked and bounced contacts to Air for further calling.
  • Compiled detailed reporting of the outcomes of the email campaigns, so that prospects could be prioritise dependant on their engagement and learnings could be shared for replication in the future.

Our Response...

E.ON was so happy with the results from the aligned sales and marketing approach that they continued to use this strategy over 9 individual data sets. Air also worked with E.ON’s internal data outside of the initial campaign to help with further nurturing, which was then passed back internally to call on.

The collaborative approach from Air really helped to ensure the campaigns success. Each email sent was able to support the telemarketing campaign, with every ‘warm lead’ identified based on their engagement within the emails, the Group were able to prioritise the most qualified opportunities when calling to grow their clients’ business.

HubSpot CRM onboarding, automations, and team training for renewable energy firm Olympus Power

Tiffany Bale

Marketing Manager

“Air Marketing have supported us with our HubSpot journey right from the beginning, making sure it was the right tech for us, through to implementation and utilisation. Their bespoke approach to the HubSpot onboarding meant that we could work at the pace that suited us, working around an imminent new brand and website launch, yet still getting HubSpot setup for quick and longer term wins. The addition of training for our wider team and them liaising directly with HubSpot Tech Support on any niche/highly technical questions added huge value to us.”

Olympus Power
Overview

Olympus Power are renewable energy experts based locally to us in Exeter that have specialised in helping businesses to eliminate carbon emissions since 1979.

They create bespoke solutions by designing, building and installing technology that helps companies get closer to net zero whilst cutting energy use and saving them money at the same time.

Olympus Power came to us looking for expert help in onboarding their internal team with HubSpot, as well as teaching them how to implement this powerful CRM in the best way to suit the businesses’ processes and goals. Being an existing client, they were aware of our HubSpot Gold Partner status and knew we were the right team for the task at hand!

THE CHALLENGE...

We got to work immediately, setting up Olympus Power’s HubSpot from a technical standpoint and building out their portal to make it as efficient for the internal team to use as possible. As part of this we also conducted training sessions with the Sales and Operations team, equipping them with the skills needed to utilise the HubSpot platform and all of its beneficial features to enhance the customer journey and touchpoints. We worked on a weekly basis with their Marketing Manager to create automations, bespoke dashboards and implement any new components they needed based on the team’s needs and feedback. Air Marketing were also a helpful liaison between HubSpot’s own Technical Team and Olympus Power’s Marketing Manager for any very specific technical queries that arose.

We used our expertise to support Olympus Power in planning for quick win activity they could implement right there and then within their shiny new HubSpot portal, as well as advising on longer term campaigns that would help them to make their customer’s journeys more satisfying, meaningful and effective in driving return on investment.

Our Response...

With their data seamlessly migrated over from their previous CRM system, their bespoke HubSpot build is up and running and their initial campaigns executed. Olympus Power are very happy with the visibility their setup now provides them. Their custom dashboards and automations implemented they are able to gain valuable insight into their campaigns and their effectiveness both at a glance and more in depth!

This coupled with the training provided by our team has given the internal Sales and Operations team the confidence to use and leverage HubSpot to their advantage.

Overview

QA delivers training, apprenticeships and tech skills to UK companies large and small. They also work in the Higher Education space.

Working in partnership with multiple UK universities they recruit, market and deliver a range of educational programmes from foundation level, to undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, and degree apprenticeships.

QA came to us with a desire to expand upon their existing lead generation, particularly focused on one of their university partners. QA wanted some expert advice to implement lead generation activities that would yield excellent results and the ROI that they set out to achieve.

THE CHALLENGE...

A winning strategy

They engaged Air Marketing and collaboratively we designed a strategy that would leverage paid advertising on social platforms, LinkedIn and Facebook, to deliver results.

  • We worked collaboratively on their key messages, and ad formats to ensure their campaigns were impactful and engaging.
  • We advised on delivery channels, investigating using the likes of LinkedIn Message Ads vs LinkedIn Sponsored Content carousels and Facebook feed vs Instagram stories, to optimise the results from the best performing channel.
  • We expertly advised and extrapolated the analytics from In-Platform form utilisation and optimisation to gain both lead quantity and lead quality.

Our Response...

Growing trust and delivering results We now have an established working relationship with QA and have worked across many different lead generation campaigns for key campuses and courses since January 2019.

Head of business development - granter

Having worked with a number of providers throughout the years, the refreshingly honest and accurate assessments of what would we could expect in terms of ROI first brought us in. What has made us stay is the excellent service and collaboration that we see from the team as well as the ROI. I could not speak more highly of our Account Manager and SDR team and would thoroughly recommend Air Marketing to any business trying to get their outbound sales process up and running.

Granter
Overview

Granter is a start-up that specialises in R&D tax credits in the engineering, construction and manufacturing industries.

The business uses its experienced R&D experts and an innovative client portal to help businesses claim the tax credits they are entitled to. Businesses can save time and money submitting their request to Granter, saving an average of 80 hours of work per claim.

THE CHALLENGE...

Our main point of contact at Granter worked with similar companies to Air Marketing in previous roles. This meant the business had a clear idea of what they wanted.

Granter wanted to work with a Sales Development Representative (SDR) who could grow their sales pipeline, introduce their business to new audiences and work as an extension of their sales team. The senior management team conducted six months of extensive research before reaching out to us, and decided to use our SDR services for two reasons.

Firstly, they were impressed with our ROI Calculator, that was completed with them during the sales process. This calculator allowed Granter to estimate their return on investment within the first twelve months of working with us. They found the calculator comprehensive and realistic, providing honest information about how their business could grow.

After all, as a start-up, it’s vital to make sure every penny of investment counts.

Secondly, we tailored our proposal towards their specific business and the industries they worked in, focusing on how they could appeal to prospective customers in the manufacturing and construction sector.

Other businesses had provided a more generic proposal; however, ours allowed them to visualise their success and how they could scale in the future.

Our Response...

Granter was keen to move quickly to capitalise on growth. This made a solid onboarding and set-up process critical to success.

The team at Granter found onboarding easy, being guided through the process by one of our experienced Account Managers. In addition, our SDRs were highly engaged in the training and content provided by Granter’s in-house sales team.

Constant contact was in place, with our team only a phone call or email away.

So far, our team’s hard work has led to 12 signed contracts that have been sent to prospective customers. As a result, Granter have seen a return on investment within three months, which is ahead of the initial ROI calculation.

Granter has said one of the reasons they enjoy working with us so much is that our team is easy to get on with. While lead generation is essential, it’s also critical to work well with your support team.

Despite only working together for a brief time, Granter is delighted with their experience with Air Marketing.

As a result, they plan to increase the number of our SDRs they use in the future.

Tax compliance experts

Air’s team have a been a really valuable resource to us at a challenging time, helping us seize a valuable opportunity and grow our market share beyond our initial targets. We’ve now established a profitable outbound channel that’s set to grow thanks to their team’s expert handling of complex issues and ability to instil confidence and pivot to meaningful conversations with prospective customers.

Overview

Our client helps all types of businesses become tax compliant, including VAT, sales and use, excise, communications, and other tax types and offers more than 500 pre-built connectors into leading accounting, ERP, eCommerce and other business applications. 

Yearly, they process billions of indirect tax transactions, file hundreds of thousands of tax compliance documents and tax returns and manage millions of exemption certificates and other compliance-related documents.

THE CHALLENGE...

Our client employs a team of internal SDRs who are experts at handling their inbound leads but lacked time to focus on outbound leads.

They engaged with Air Marketing to help them build the right processes and start getting the traction and results they want to see with outbound leads to establish a profitable outbound channel. 

Our Response...

The initial campaign was focused on the Brexit deadline, targeting eCommerce retailers who sell into Europe and discovering if they were ‘Brexit ready’ or may require our client’s expertise to manage the changes.

This required Air’s team to understand the relevant VAT rules, legalisation changes and understanding how our clients worked with their end-users to handle these challenges.

Team Air immersed themselves in the client’s market and brand. We exceeded the targets and KPIs set out at the start of the campaign and had meaningful conversations that have converted into valuable opportunities far beyond initial expectations. 

We have achieved 172% of the target cash flow forecast in leads passed over to the client’s team. This campaign has provided a strong foundation for our client to establish an outbound channel with all the hallmarks of profitability and future success. 

Now we have successfully established the outbound strategy; we have since been able to scale and target new regions, including other countries across the EMEA,  with our Sister Company Forrest Marketing Group managing the APAC delivery for a truly global reach.

The results have been great and we can focus our efforts on converting new business safe in the knowledge that Air’s team are building our pipeline.

Overview

Our client is a renewable energy developer focused on reducing carbon footprint in the UK; they advise on and invest in energy generation projects that reduce emissions and also reduce annual expenses for clients.

They provide an array of energy-saving and green energy services to their clients, specialising in biomass, solar and hydro projects.

THE CHALLENGE...

The client approached the Air Marketing team to help them secure appointments for their Power Purchase Agreement Service (PPA).

PPA is a service where they install solar panels on large commercial roofs, delivering a much lower energy cost and substantial reduction of greenhouse emissions for the building owners and landlords whilst developing the building’s unused rooftop space into an energy-saving asset.

They wanted to target large multinationals and needed a strategy that would convince decision-makers in their target market to book a consultation.

Our Response...

We provided a team of sales experts and worked to create a strategy and an approach that would open doors for our client, clearly sell the PPA agreement’s benefits and the switch to solar.

Our approach resulted in many valuable opportunities from major national brands in the food production, retail and automotive sectors; reaching 329 decision makers and resulting in 75 key appointments in their diaries.

VeriSmart
Overview

VeriSmart heating is a UK-based company supplying energy-efficient electric radiators.

VeriSmart were looking for a way to outsource their business development processes to free up their valuable time and resources, and bring in genuine opportunities very likely to convert.

Our Response...

We proposed an appointment setting campaign, sourcing prospects and leads amongst tradesman and contractors with ongoing or upcoming projects. This would provide VeriSmart with face-to-face appointments and sales meetings, giving their Directors opportunities to generate new sales for the business and convey the benefits of their range of products.
