Success Stories
Why inSided became fully convinced about Lead Generation


inSided, a major Dutch provider of community engagement technology solutions for large accounts, wished to accelerate the volume of incoming leads in order to build a pipeline of business opportunities among European Telcos. The company was created in 2010 and because of limited resources, they had no time (and extremely limited data) to start promoting their solutions to new international accounts. They had been advised by a business partner who regularly used DEVEO’s services to contact us. The brief was to schedule 5 to 10 teleconferences with qualified leads that would exactly meet the customer’s requirements (Customer Care decision makers working for European Telcos, with an interest in potentially implementing the community management solution).
“We have worked with Deveo for 1 month using their lead generation service. They have been very helpful in figuring out the right approach, as well as keeping us continuously updated on the progress and results during that time period. For us it has proven to be a big success: we have gotten more introduction calls than anticipated beforehand and 2 years later we have signed 4 new customers as a result of it, representing our highest ROI ever.”

To track the project and inform the client about the campaign’s progress, we saved all of the comments collected from prospects in our CRM system and organized a weekly teleconference to update the client about the campaign progress and ensure actions were followed up (in parallel with a scheduled weekly written report).
As a direct consequence of the campaign, inSided was so delighted and impressed with the quality of the results that they decided to create an internal team of Inside Sales Managers and outsourced to Deveo the second level of Lead Generation (for specific Telcos or decision makers they could not reach out to).
