Case Study 1: Outsourced model of Inside Sales

The customer

Is a rapidly growing BI software company with a strong presence in the APAC, ANZ.

The Challenge

The prime goal for the client was to generate a large number of sales leads in the US, EUR, APAC in order to cater to the swiftly growing sales team. The client used Salesforce.com to manage the sales process; hence another challenge was a timely update of sales information to client’s pipeline report.

The two tasks accomplished by the market research team were:

  Collating information related to business from specific websites and generating leads. The challenge here was a timely update of this lead data into the existing pipeline report

  Acquiring raw lead lists filled with a number of potential customers. The challenges faced in this task were variable formats, unstructured data, inaccurate information and ineffective leads

  The client’s primary concern was to let the sales team concentrate on the sales process rather than updating the lead-data and building the pipeline. They needed the sales team to improve the conversion ratios considerably.

The Solution

Our team of experienced professionals designed a great strategy and efficient process to generate high-potential leads according to the customer’s business requirements

  We initially designed a process which generated leads based on a number of pre-defined parameters. Some of them include the type of industry, geographical location of the company, annual turnover and the core-products of the company. These leads were updated periodically in the clients’ dashboard.

  The raw lead lists were customized to have a universal structured format which could be directly imported to the dashboard.

  This process ensured that all the Regional sales teams had enough leads in the buffer to reach the conversion ratio targets

The Results

  Higher efficiency and conversion ratios in the sales process

  Enhanced management capabilities of the sales pipeline

  Significant cost-savings due to a great cutback in the operational costs

  Client had their ROI within a span of 12 months

Case Study 3: Lead to Market Inbound Technical Support and Help Desk for Australian Market

The Client

  This Client is a leading Israeli provider of security devices for homes and businesses and operates across the globe


  This was Lead to Market’s first engagement in inbound technical support with the company. Lead to Market has extensive experience working with Israeli clients and lead generation in Israel



The Challenge

  Our client provided a diverse range of security devices, hence training the resources on the Lead to Market end was a major challenge. Technical support staff answering the inbound calls and support tickets had to be:


  Technically proficient in a variety of products.


  Experienced enough to fix installer’s issues over the phone, and to answer complex technical queries capably.



  All this was to be done in an economical manner within the client’s expected budget. Lead to Market was tasked with providing the infrastructure, as well as recruiting and managing the technical savvy staff, and the client provided the remote and on-site training.


Deep Dive knowledge based training:

  Our client provided remote training and flew in their own support personnel to train the Lead to Market team and this helped our staff to learn the intricacies of the product to handle the calls confidently.


Infrastructure and Reporting:

  The Lead to Market team, based out of the Bangalore center, was provided with the required infrastructure from hardware to software, IVR, phone lines, CRM programs and backup emergency generator.


  The team structure and training centered around providing a streamlined solution to represent our client in the designated hours and shifts, to maximize productivity and delivery.


  The team leader and project manager would provide live, daily and weekly reporting to the client.


The Requirement

  Our client wanted an inbound technical support help desk to handle the technical queries and issues faced by their installers in the Australian geography.



The Solution

  Lead to Market set up the plan and strategic road map to implement the back office services project as follows:


  Lead to Market had a proficient team leader and an additional inside sales agent on the bench with vast experience with the Australian market.


  In addition a number of technical support resources were recruited by Lead to Market’s HR to join the team following confirmation interviews with the client Lead to Market had a proficient team leader and an additional inside sales agent on the bench with vast experience with the Australian market.In addition a number of technical support resources were recruited by Lead to Market’s HR to join the team following confirmation interviews with the client.


  The entire team had previous BPO experience in IT related projects and this made it easy for them to onboard the new operation successfully.



Economics

  Lead to Market clearly had the plan in place to provide a cost effective solution for the client in order for them to make the best out of this long term strategic partnership. The Israeli company received a total solution at a fraction of the cost it would have to bare with an in-house Israel solution or Australian based solution.


Delivery Model

  The main objective of the team is to provide level 1 support the thousands of security systems installers in Australia.


  The team was trained to take inbound calls from these installers in order to provide support for software and hardware aspects of the product..


  The team would ensure that if an installer calls to know the step by step procedure of installing equipment like panels and detectors, they would help them do so in a smooth manner.


  The team was also trained to help installers to upgrade the software.


  In addition to the technical support aspects, the team would preempt and contact the installers to book repeat orders and over a period of time this became a new revenue stream.


 In the event of our team being unable to assist the installers, then a ticket would be raised and escalated to our client’s helpdesk.


The Result

  The technical support and inside sales operation has been running successfully for the past year and a half


  the Lead to Market team has been able to consistently meet and exceed our client’s SLAs
