This is how one of our IT Services clients closed a multi-year deal with a $20B manufacturing giant through a cold email.
This is how one of our IT Services clients closed a multi-year deal with a $20B manufacturing giant through a cold email.
Background - Our IT Services client transitioned from providing conventional software development solutions to creating an AI-driven predictive analytics and forecasting platform. They acknowledged the market trend and the preferences of companies aiming to adopt such technologies.
Our Strategy at Prospects Pulse - We abandoned the “spray and pray” approach, opting for researched, personalized outreach. Using GTM tools like Clay, Ocean.io, Email Bison, Hypertide, LeadMagic, Enrichly, and Sales Navigator Advanced, we gathered intel by scraping public data, monitoring news, and detecting buying signals. This data guided our timing and messaging, making communications more effective by addressing true needs.
Second, we embraced the long game. Complex enterprise deals take 6–18 months, so we viewed each interaction as progress, not an immediate close. We listened, educated, and nurtured relationships even during radio silence. Patience is essential.
The result? A cautious prospect became a confident customer. This $20 billion manufacturer is now embracing an AI-driven platform and rolling out its deployment across its global units. A shift unlikely a few years ago. Times are changing: over 60% of manufacturers plan to integrate AI. Even late adopters are convinced if you demonstrate real value.
Most IT services & SaaS companies are still doing outreach as if it were 2019. Send the same boring template to 5,000 people → cross fingers → hope someone responds.
If you’re leading an IT or SaaS company and are exhausted from feeling unheard, let’s connect on what drives results.
