How to Get B2B Sales Prospects Without Risk!

The role B2B sales lead prospecting plays in helping a B2B manufacturer expand sales into a new industry market. 

Executive Brief 

An international P-O-P display manufacturer wanted to open new accounts and expand their business. They needed a fast method to reach new prospective customers but wanted to stand out from the crowd and achieve measurable results. Their goals for their marketing campaign were: 

  • Eliminate “Just Send Literature” responses on replies 
  • Entice prospective clients to become informed about their products & services 
  • Help prospects to self-qualify themselves 
  • Obtain 50% closable “ready-to-buy” sales leads for their sales force 
  • Keep lead costs under $250/lead and pay only for performance

Their measure of success was easy to understand … “Ready-to-buy” pre-qualified sales contacts that wanted to meet with their sales force. To accomplish their objectives they employed a unique marketing tool for reaching the “real buyers” of products and services in B2B vertical niche markets. The results: 75% closable sales leads at a cost of around $100.00 per sales lead.

Problem Summary

Creative Marketing Inc. (CMI) is a successful point-of-purchase display manufacturer that had developed a broad client base in the merchandising display heavy flooring industry. Recently, they wanted to expand their customer base to other industries, but how?

Sales expansion in any new market or industry is not easy. Especially, when CMI had not established any client relationships or produced any displays for the new markets they sought to expand placing CMI squarely in a marketing conundrum.

Expanding into new markets can be very costly, take protracted periods of time and never come with any guarantees of success. For these reasons CMI weighed various marketing options but wanted to be sure that if the marketing method they choose were unsuccessful, they would not waste substantial dollars only to come up empty.

They decided on using IndustryArchive.Org because it was substantially more cost-effective concerning producing and delivering their marketing message, plus the unique focus on getting their message to a targeted B2B market was important to them. But having a pay for performance business model that assured success without financial risk was the clincher.

After much research and evaluation, CMI chooses IndustryArchive.Org. Why because they offered a number of unique differences to their competition most importantly:

  • Guaranteed High-Quality, Verified B2B Sales Leads 
  • Pay-For-Performance Sales Lead Acquisition 
  • Measurable ROI

CMI believed that they would have to reach their audience with more than the promise of the usual sales benefits of price, quality, and delivery to break through the opposing wall of buyers’ indifference. Because IndustryArchive.Org uses problem/solution selling that speaks to the customer in the way that benefits the customer first, they believed this would give them the best opportunity to demonstrate a substantial differentiation between CMI and everybody else vying for the attention of their potential buyers.

Besides, respecting their customers has always been important to CMI and IndustryArchive.Org use of consultative communication content offered the most obvious solution for conveying the CMI sales philosophy. The results were incredible with many clients with whom they had no relationship with asking CMI to contact them for meetings.

People are Saying

"We were skeptical at first that IndustryArchive.Org actually could meet the high expectations we were looking for, but they delivered as promised. We can’t sell our products and services unless we get a chance dialogue with our clients. Using IndustryArchive.Org, our sales people were dumbfounded having prospective clients asking to see them for sales meetings!"

Mr. John Berkman, President, Creative Marketing Display Inc. Pittsburgh, PA.


"When Creative Marketing Inc. came to us and said, ok prove it, we did! We were delighted with the results they achieved with our service. It just proves our philosophy of putting our customer and our customer’s customer first pays big dividends, and everybody wins."

Mr. Robert J. Hennessey, Editor of IndustryArchive.Org.
