Doing Business in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland?
Meetings-as-a-Service. Done for you!
Take advantage of our »Secret Sauce« to book more meetings and grow your sales funnel in DACH.
1. Onboarding Workshop
Germany is the most difficult market for outbound lead generation. Yet, Germany is also one of the the most valuable markets in Europe.
Your website, slide decks, and general corporate positioning cannot simply be adapted for outbound use. To generate the sharp outbound messages needed to push through to the German audience, both founders reserve 6 hours with your customer facing teams to stress test your positioning and create an appropriate adaptation for outbound message.
Junior copy writers, ChatGPT, and growth hacking cadence templates are never used at BizXpand.
We regularly get comments immediately following the workshops that this was exceptionally valuable for more than just messaging, but also helped them to think about their business differently.
2. Campaign Setup
We configure and maintain all tooling. This also includes tools and services to identify emails, umlaut handling, name cleaning, salutation handling, and even predicting what the prospects preferred language might be.
Data sources are neither precise nor standardized. Linking the Buyer Personas (from the onboarding workshop) with real job titles in multiple languages requires deep knowledge of the data tools and German business culture & terminology. As a result, our founders do the first sourcing.
German business culture is very specific when it comes to sales messaging. A successful outbound message for the German market actually requires the exact opposite of a successful outbound message for the US market in terms of tone, speed, number of repetitions and call-to-actions. Again, always done by the founders!
3. Lead Nurturing and Appointment Setting
After you have approved the sales messaging and targets of a campaign, we reach out to 100 new contacts every week with high integrity, non agressive style on your behalf. As a result, you can expect 4 to 8 highly qualified meetings per month.
While the outbound messages on LinkedIn and email are sent automatically from our tools, all responses from your prospects are replied manually and humanly.
We take care of all follow-up tasks, reminders and transactional emails to organize the web calls between you and the prospects and put the appointments in their and your calendar.
Although our campaigns have very high reply rates, this still means that 70% will likely not reply. We re-engage months later to try again– always keeping high integrity, low pressure. This generates further meetings beyond those in the first campaign.
4. Reporting and Analytics
We believe in openness, and transparency. All LinkedIn messages and emails are synced to a CRM repository that you own at all times – even after our cooperation.
An online dashboard with major KPIs helps to discuss progress and actions in bi-weekly status calls together with our founders.
All our clients run the same type of sequence (our “secret sauce”). We have all the data to diagnose and/or improve campaign performance over time.
