B2B LEAD GENERATION & ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT

AN ICON CASE STUDY

THE CLIENT

A global provider of enterprise-level audio and visual solutions.

PROBLEM

The client sought to streamline and reduce the cost of its European B2B lead generation and account management operations by establishing a single centralised hub to handle all activity.

SOLUTION

ICON devised a solution to manage the client’s B2B lead generation and account management activity for their distributors in every country within its European footprint.

The outsourced multilingual team sought to increase the pipeline of opportunities passed to the client’s sales team by –

– cold-calling and qualifying in-scope prospects

– handling and qualifying inbound customer requests

The client wanted distributor relationship management activity prioritised. Therefore, ICON agents were positioned, for all intents and purposes, as ‘internal staff’ acting on behalf of the client.

SCOPE OF WORK

  • Desktop research
  • Lead generation
  • Inbound calls/web form management
  • Data collection
  • Data cleaning
  • Event follow-up
