Case Studies Detail Techniques to Snag More Demos and Sales Appointments.

To realize the best ROI, companies with big-ticket products and services not only want to improve their sales conversions, but also need to shorten their lead-to-sales cycle. Our team understands these special lead nurturing requirements so well that we’ve named these programs “Meeting Maker Campaigns”. Each project entails a painstaking process to recognize problems, plan, coordinate, test, monitor, analyze, tweak, re-test and repeat. It sounds like a lot of activity, and it is, but it is so worth the effort.

We’ve had the pleasure to drive projects and achieve some spectacular results several times greater than the original goals, earning many DMA ECHO and other awards for results as well as creativity. We share highlights of our extensive experience with hundreds of campaigns for technology, financial, healthcare, business and high-end consumer goods and services in the Resources portion of this site.

Messaging, tele-prospecting and timed follow-up narrow lead-to-sales gap

When a wide-area network software optimization company came to BDOM for help with qualification and neglected potential leads, we began by looking at the difficulty to get the attention of their IT professional target. We also reviewed their current activities, which were already wide-ranging, but had no process for lead qualification.
