Our solution
Proagrica’s ABM approach means they only target a small selection of companies and create bespoke messaging to fit with each different region, element of the software and persona. Of course, to target these accounts effectively, they need to use very specific and highly targeted data touch points.
Anyone in charge of their business’ ABM will be familiar with the difficulty in finding these niche details; collating the correct data is no small feat. Proagrica understood that instead of purchasing masses of low-quality data, they needed to dig much deeper to find fewer, but precise contact data to fit their needs.
Proagrica first approached three organisations with a short brief asking for exact job titles from one company across various regions, and among those organisations was the Shortlist team.
Because we were looking by business units and personas, this project meant there were a wide variety of job titles at different levels across departments that we had to understand. On top if this, Proagrica’s target was a large organisation, meaning there were multiple influencers and decision-makers in different geographical locations doing very similar jobs.
Shortlist was chosen due to the way we worked with Proagrica. Instead of dealing with an account manager or a team offshore, they had direct communication with the person doing the analysis and research — our Data Analyst, Georgia.
This meant Proagrica were able to have any of their questions answered by the expert directly. Our data Analyst built the data they needed and when asked to, could justify why every individual contact provided met their needs. By doing so successfully, we were able to build a strategic and meaningful relationship with Proagrica.
Thanks to the success of our bespoke targeted data build, we got awarded the initial contract. Proagrica were impressed with the service and quality of the data and continued to work with us for their ABM campaigns.
Previously, Proagrica had to manually audit and sense check data before uploading it into their CRM. But with the excellent work and verification methodology that Shortlist provided, it was easy to import directly into their CRM with confidence, saving additional auditing time and allowing their team to concentrate on marketing to the key-decision makers right away.
Proagrica now feel much more confident about outsourcing their data builds to Shortlist. In fact, because of the continued success of these ABM data build projects, we’re now a preferred supplier to the global group departments.
