Case Study
How FMI Helped an Agency
Build A Thriving Sales Pipeline
and Win Multiple High-Value Clients
Client Profile
A mid-sized digital transformation agency specializing in helping enterprises modernize their tech infrastructure and customer experiences was struggling with business development. Despite delivering exceptional results for existing clients, the agency faced challenges in maintaining a steady flow of new opportunities. Their sales team was stretched thin, and prospecting efforts were inconsistent, leading to unpredictable revenue growth.
Challenges
1. Pipeline Inconsistency – The agency had an irregular stream of inbound leads, making revenue forecasting difficult.
2. Limited Sales Bandwidth – Their sales team was focused on closing deals rather than prospecting for new opportunities.
3. Long Sales Cycles – Digital transformation projects typically involved high-ticket deals with long decision-making processes.
4. Lack of Systematic Outreach – Cold outreach efforts were sporadic and ineffective, yielding low engagement rates.
FMI’s Solution
Falvey Marketing, Inc. deployed its Prospect Relationship Management™ (PRM) framework, integrating advanced business development strategies with a personalized, relationship-driven approach and AI support technology.
Step 1: Strategic Targeting
- FMI worked with the agency to define an ideal client profile (ICP), focusing on enterprise companies in finance, healthcare, and retail that needed digital transformation services.
- A customized unique selling proposition (USP) was developed to differentiate the agency from competitors.
Step 2: Multi-Touch Outreach & Relationship Building
- FMI executed a multi-channel outbound strategy, leveraging LinkedIn outreach, personalized email campaigns, outbound email, warm calls, and direct introductions to key decision-makers.
- A thought leadership campaign positioned the agency as an expert in digital transformation through industry insights, whitepapers, and case studies.
Step 3: Lead Qualification & Nurturing
- FMI nurtured potential leads through a structured engagement process, ensuring that only warm, sales-ready prospects were handed off to the agency’s sales team.
- A custom lead scoring system prioritized high-value accounts for follow-up, reducing wasted efforts on unqualified leads.
Step 4: High-Impact Sales Enablement
- FMI provided sales intelligence reports on targeted accounts, including decision-maker insights, company pain points, and engagement data.
- A personalized email and LinkedIn messaging sequence was created to increase conversion rates.
Step 5: Warm Handoff & Conversion Support
- Once leads reached the proposal stage, FMI ensured a seamless transition to the agency’s sales team, providing background information and engagement history to improve closing rates.
- Regular pipeline reviews and optimization meetings were held to refine strategies based on real-time data.
