What Cold Mailing Campaign Results Can You Achieve with Your Offer?

Cold emailing can yield varying results, depending on preparation and strategy. Defining the ideal customer and matching the offer to their needs is key. An important element of the campaign is creating a database of companies that may be interested in the offer. Effectiveness also depends on clearly defining the campaign goals, e.g. the number of leads to be acquired in a given time. It is worth remembering that price is not always the deciding factor for customers – the benefits that the offer brings may be more important. For larger transactions, building brand awareness and establishing relationships is important. The campaign should test different value propositions (UVP) to see which ones resonate best with the recipients. A long-term strategy should also include participation in industry and networking events. Competitive analysis helps to better distinguish the offer on the market. Regular testing and optimization of activities allow for continuous improvement of campaign results.

Lead scoring is an activity in lead nurturing

Lead scoring translates into concrete actions towards leads in the nurturing process at AutomateMeUp. Our lead generation services focus on identifying individuals interested in discussing a client’s product or service, confirmed by scheduled meetings.

Using our proprietary application, ProspectMeUp, we achieve highly accurate prospecting data, enhancing our lead segmentation by the BANT principle (Budget, Authority, Need, Time).

This approach maximizes immediate sales opportunities while nurturing potential long-term clients.

Campaign for Software House: WordPress and DevOps Services

We have acquired 183% of the targeted number of leads, but our activities have been put on hold until the client closes the open sales opportunities. We are currently working on resuming the campaign. Message #1 generated the most interest, getting 77% of leads and 85 responses, with an open rate between 67.3% and 84.6% and a response rate between 12.2% and 25.2%. The out-of-address rate was between 0.6% and 7.6%, and the bounce rate was 0.6% to 1.9%.

Why generate cold leads and qualify them, statistics, examples

Why is it worth generating and qualifying cold leads?

Cold leads, often treated with reserve by salespeople, are a key element of an effective sales strategy. Although they are more difficult to turn into transactions, their potential is enormous and, if managed properly, they can produce great results.

Many salespeople prefer customers who are ready to buy, ignoring those who are not immediately interested. However, it is worth remembering that 81% of companies buy from the first person involved in the conversation. Therefore, appearing in a potential customer’s e-mail box before he or she realizes the need to buy is crucial. Examples from CRM show that systematic work on cold leads can increase the conversion from a new cold lead to a deal from 1% to even 5%. The longer we contact leads, the more their conversion approaches that which we know from leads coming from referrals.

Companies generate cold leads because long-term contact with them, as part of Lead Nurturing, brings results similar to those of incoming leads. A systematic approach to cold leads builds relationships and trust, which increases your chances of success. In this way, the sales funnel becomes resistant to market fluctuations and the exhaustion of new leads. Ultimately, a properly targeted process of acquiring cold leads transforms them into valuable customers.

How I Acquired My First Client in Sweden

This article is a continuation of the thread we started in the episode “Locality and niche nature of outbound business”. In 2017, at Software House, I started working as a Business Developer with the task of acquiring a client on the Swedish market. This was a challenge, especially since the company did not have a strong presence in Sweden at that time. However, I introduced a strategy that turned out to be the key to success: locality. By using the address of the Swedish office of one of our clients on our website, we created the impression of a local presence, which increased our credibility and made it easier to establish first contacts.

Initial successes are just the tip of the iceberg. In the following years, I regularly traveled to Sweden, arranged meetings and presented offers. Outbound lead generation through cold-mailing and activity on LinkedIn was crucial. Despite cultural differences and competition, I noticed that contact in the local language and physical presence significantly increased our chances of success.

Since then, working in international IT companies has taught me how important it is to use local resources and build relationships. I invite you to read where you will discover what steps I took to establish lasting business relationships abroad and what lessons I learned from this experience. Learn how a local strategy can change the B2B lead generation game and what tools helped me achieve success in the global IT market.
