CASE STUDY
Leading Business Social Media Platform
Lead Generation is Easy;
Relationship Building is Hard
The leading business social media platform’s Talent Solutions sales team was looking for a unique way to connect with their target customer (human resources executives) in order to increase sales of their Career platform.
The Problem
Lead generation is easy; relationship building is hard.
Context
The Talent Solutions sales reps allocate a portion of their budgets to “relationship building,” classically in the form of mailing branded swag. However, this process is costly and time consuming and offers limited attribution to the sales team.
The account executive recognized the ability of Thnks to build relationships faster and nurture more leads – resulting in a more effective sales process. They have been leveraging the power of Thnks for 6 months.
Solution
Thnks has provided the sales team with a scalable tool to connect with decision makers, develop relationships and advance their sales funnel. Thnks allows users to break through the clutter and build stronger relationships with an intuitive, easy-to-use tool that seamlessly augments their existing sales process. Thnks are small gestures of appreciation that signal an emotion and solicit actions from prospects.
Here are some recent examples from the Account Executive:
- Sent chicken soup to a prospect who said they had a bad cold
- Sent coffee for the week to a potential client who indicated she was stressed over crazy deadlines
- Leveraged a Thnks to help move up a Docusign contact email to the top of the queue
After Partnering with Thnks
The AE was curious so ran his own internal test, monitoring prospects he sent Thnks to against those he didn’t and discovered that he received significantly more responses from the group that received Thnks than those who did not.
Achieved sales quota for the month
Reduced time each week on administrative tasks
Shortened sales cycle percentage from 45-60 days to 30-45 days
