Introduction

Navigating the complex terrain of the German Mittelstand requires a nuanced approach to sales. Let’s explore how we personalize offers effectively without overburdening our sales teams.

The Challenge

The secret in B2B sales lies in strategically allocating resources to the right prospects with compelling offers. Nothing new, in theory. But our discussions with numerous sales leaders reveal a common dilemma: Managing expansive prospect bases with limited or even shrinking personnel, all while ensuring personalized interactions.

This gets even more complex in the fragmented, heterogeneous markets typical of the German Mittelstand. Often, relevant data about these businesses, despite having an online presence, are inaccessible for effective and scalable outreach. This is quite different in the US where the market is big and heterogeneous enough for specialized data providers to do their magic.

The Solution: Intelligent Engagement

Consider a local basketball team sponsor: they're likely more receptive to advertising during a major basketball event. Recognizing such details not only increases engagement chances today but also builds rapport for the future.

To solve this, AI can (and should) play a crucial role here. Today’s language models are able to analyze prospects and prioritize them based on their potential relevance. In contrast, traditional methods like ABC analyses fall short in addressing specific needs or require consistently updated data – which is rarely the case, if ever. AI, especially with recent advancements in language models, scales this process efficiently by understanding a company's activities and crafting personalized communication.

A successful strategy, particularly in the German market and with high tickets, involves an initial, personalized email outreach followed by a phone call if there's no response.

Case study: Ditch the Data Grind - How Getmomo Unlocked Sales Efficiency with Our Solution

The Challenge: Drowning in Data, Missing Opportunities

Getmomo faced significant challenges managing an inefficient lead list in a sector boasting 25,000 firms. They struggled to identify and prioritize the right prospects within the German Mittelstand market.

They needed to determine if a lead was a property management firm or a real estate broker, a distinction often poorly addressed by conventional lead platforms. Additionally, they needed insights into the number of units under management for these firms. The sheer volume and lack of clear data made manual research time-consuming and error-prone, resulting in missed opportunities.

The Solution: AI-Powered Insights, Human-Driven Action

Our solution empowered Getmomo to overcome their data challenges and achieve breakthrough sales results. By leveraging AI, Getmomo's sales team gained the ability to:

• Increase Sales Efficiency: Cut down research time by a significant percentage, allowing the sales team to focus on building relationships and closing deals.
• Improve Lead Qualification: Accurately identify property management firms that fit their criteria (e.g., the number of units under management), which allowed Getmomo to prioritize promising leads and improve conversion rates.
• Enhance Personalization: Use enriched data insights to craft tailored outreach, resulting in higher engagement and response rates.

Rather than spending time manually researching a lead list from the top (and hence at random), their team started each day knowing that the leads they were contacting had already been chosen to be the right fit.

We also analyzed their CRM data for insights they would have otherwise missed. From summarizing the current state of a prospect to suggesting next actions to move deals forward in the pipeline, our solution provided suggestions on follow-up timing based on manual notes, emails, and call transcripts.

The Results: A New Era of Sales Efficiency and Effectiveness

This approach was particularly effective in a setting where sales is primarily conducted through calling. As Jannik Cramer, Head of RevOps at Getmomo, put it: “In a business setting, calling means people and people means cost. This is not bad per se, it just raises the importance of figuring out which lead to spend time on.”

Getmomo achieved:

• Increase in Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs): They saw a notable rise in SQLs as their outreach was now targeted to the right prospects.
• Reduction in Sales Cycle Length: Time spent moving leads through the pipeline was significantly reduced.
• Higher Lead Conversion Rates: Accurate lead qualification led to better engagement and improved conversion metrics.
• Enhanced Revenue Growth: Focused effort on qualified leads helped drive measurable revenue growth.

Customer Testimonial

We were finally able to focus on building meaningful relationships rather than getting lost in data.” - Jannik Cramer, Head of RevOps, Getmomo

Efficiency Meets Personalization

The key to this approach isn't about bombarding prospects with generic offers, which often leads to disengagement. Instead, it's about tapping into the unique needs and timing of each potential client.

The goal is to segment the audience meticulously, focusing on those most likely to engage, then moving on to the next offer and repeating the process.

Our software aids sales teams in pinpointing leads with a high likelihood of conversion, underpinned by data-driven insights.

The Human Element

Despite the technological advances, we recognize the irreplaceable value of human interaction in sales. Any chosen solution should enhance, not supplant, the personal connection inherent in sales.
