LOCATION: USA & Canada

Project overview

During the project, our team generated approximately 25,000 contacts for 50 franchisees, most with unique requirements. By leveraging advanced tools and targeted strategies, we ensured effective lead research customized to the client’s specific business needs. Our B2B lead research service helped the company to expand their client base with quality leads for cleaning services and increase market reach.

DURATION: 1 year
TECH STACK: LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, Google Map
TEAM: 5 lead researchers, 1 team lead

Challenges

1) Address accuracy
A major challenge of our B2B lead research service was ensuring accurate address verification. Because the client operates in the cleaning industry, they needed leads from specific locations. This made the search process more complicated, requiring careful verification to confirm that the leads were located in their service area.

2) Researching leads via customer feedback
Another challenge was identifying leads based on reviews on Google Business profiles. The client aimed to target restaurants and eateries with cleanliness issues by using these reviews as a key indicator of service needs and opportunities for improvement.

Solutions

1) Accurate address verification
To ensure precise address verification, we leveraged Sales Navigator. Initially, we used ZoomInfo for location data, but found inconsistencies. Switching to LinkedIn provided more reliable business location information. We meticulously cross-checked LinkedIn data with other sources to confirm each lead’s address accuracy.

2) Targeted lead identification
We closely monitored Google Business profiles for restaurants and eateries with negative cleanliness reviews. This approach helped us identify businesses that would benefit most from the client’s specialized cleaning services.

3) Comprehensive market research
Beyond lead identification, we conducted thorough market research and analysis. This involved analyzing various data points to understand market trends and opportunities, ensuring our client had a comprehensive view of their target market.

Project stages:

1) Initial assessment & trial

To demonstrate expertise, our team conducted a preliminary test task, generating 20-30 leads to showcase initial potential. This helped us and the client better identify the Ideal Customer Profile and make final reconciliation before the main work process.

2) Contract signing & launch

Upon securing the contract, we commenced operations to meet the target of 40 leads per month for each franchise. As per the client’s request, leads were added to a structured spreadsheet for post-research review and smooth leads processing.

3) Validation & replacement

Every month, we implemented a thorough validation process, leading to the replacement of some irrelevant leads. The total amount of replaced leads was less than 0.5%. This validation process was based on client feedback and quality assessment.

4) Continuous market analysis

Throughout the project, we continuously conducted market analysis. Our lead research team gathered essential data points to refine targeting and lead research strategies, adapting effectively to market changes and improving overall results.
