The situation

Outbound is only as good as who you target.

B&B Press has been printing in the North of England for over 60 years. After the positioning work they had a clear ideal customer profile, but building a real, qualified list of those companies by hand is slow, and easy to get wrong.

Reps end up guessing, or working stale lists, and outbound leaks effort against accounts that were never a fit. The question was simple: who, exactly, should we be talking to, and are they worth the time before anyone picks up the phone?

Know who to target before you spend a minute on outbound.
