NEED

BroadSoft needed to meet with as many key prospects at the Mobile World Congress as they could fit into the 3-day event. In previous years, internal sales teams had undertaken the task of conducting outreach to high priority prospects and attempting to schedule qualified appointments face-to-face at the show. They recognized how difficult and time consuming it had been to undertake this project in addition to their usual workload and decided to look for an expert partner to deliver results faster, more efficiently and without effecting other areas of the sales team’s focus.

SOLUTION

ELEVATE cleaned and validated the BroadSoft target contact database of 374 key contacts across 105 accounts. We consider a complete, up-to-date and targeted database to be the backbone of any successful sales and marketing campaign and use a meticulous approach to sourcing data which involves intense networking by phone within each targeted account to identify all key decision makers.

ELEVATE identified all C-level executives within BroadSoft’s 105 accounts: Chief Executive Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Head of Strategy, and Head of Product Development and confirmed their attendance status for MWC.

ELEVATE developed a Calling Approach & Blueprint for BroadSoft to ensure the salient points of the offering were articulated to targeted Decision Makers in the best possible way and that all relevant qualification questions were asked.

RESULTS

Using the persistence, persuasion and people skills built up over 19 years undertaking campaigns of this kind, ELEVATE was able to make BroadSoft’s attendance at this year’s Mobile World Congress their most successful and productive yet. The internal event team was able to stay focused on their work to ensure all logistics and collateral were in place, the internal sales team could maintain their focus working on deals in the pipeline, and ELEVATE took care of filling calendars with qualified meetings before, during and after the event.
