The Challenges
Limited Sales Team Resources
Being a startup, the team didn’t have a full sales squad. They needed a solution that could handle the whole shebang—multichannel inbound and outbound sales—without breaking a sweat.
Social Media and Lead Generation
The business was all about beauty brands and, let’s be honest, social media is their playground. While others were stuck in email and LinkedIn, we took a fresh approach by tapping into Instagram, Twitter, and SMS. With their team stretched thin, we filled the gap by turning those social channels into a pipeline powerhouse.
Unqualified Leads and Manual Segmentation
Their previous lead generation form resulted in many unqualified leads. Despite their free Shopify app being popular across multiple industries, including non-beauty brands, the manual segregation process made it difficult to identify relevant leads before calls.
Upselling Challenges
With over 1,000 companies using their free Shopify app each month, their team had a tough time upselling to paid plans. Their small sales team and limited outreach made it tricky to identify each client's pain points and swoop in with the perfect pitch. Without knowing the internal news or buying intent, they missed out on key upsell opportunities.
Identifying Product Users
Figuring out who within organizations was actually using the company's product was a real headache! They were missing out on recognizing which organizations and individuals were visiting their website, leaving them unable to connect directly and make the most of those interactions.
Event and Seminar Data Management
Despite attending numerous events and seminars, the company only gathered unsegmented form fills with no actionable insights.
Impact of COVID-19:
With beauty stores closing, online traffic and form fills skyrocketed. The company found themselves swamped, struggling to sort and prioritize all those leads effectively.
