TLM drives B2B lead success for US painting franchise

Business Problem

  • This franchise reached out to us seeking qualified leads, particularly in the commercial space. They had tried various methods, including cold calling, but nothing was working.
  • The owner was losing customers to competitors and struggled to retain them without any reference work.
  • It was a critical situation for the business, which needed solid commercial painting leads to survive.

Our Plan

  • We gathered all the relevant information from the owner regarding their primary contacts within companies.
  • Knowing that the key contacts were usually property managers or facility managers, we tailored our prospecting strategy accordingly.
  • Additionally, we included contacts from operations, finance, administration, and management to expand our reach.
  • For the campaign design, we focused our messaging on the company's commercial painting services. We meticulously detailed all the services they offered for businesses.
  • Our lead identifiers were instructed to pass on leads quickly, as these types of leads can become cold rapidly.
  • We also tasked our team with scheduling appointments as needed. Our exclusion team was responsible for managing and promptly removing any exclusions.

Results

  • The results were outstanding from the start, with four leads generated in the first month. Two of these leads progressed to proposals, resulting in business with one of them.
  • This email marketing program, specifically designed for commercial painting services, was highly effective. The local website also saw increased traffic due to the direct marketing efforts.
