The Company

A Gartner-recognized leader in data governance.

Data Advantage Group is an industry leader in metadata management and data governance solutions and was recognized by Gartner’s Magic Quadrant as a top challenger in the space. Their MetaCenter® solution helps large enterprises govern their information assets and enable agile data management.

The Challenge

A strong product, with limited in-house sales resources.

Data Advantage Group came to FullFunnel in August 2015 needing to build their sales pipeline, with limited in-house sales resources for lead generation, prospecting, outreach, and follow-up.
The Approach

A full sales program, built from the ground up.

FullFunnel worked with Data Advantage Group to develop and execute an effective sales strategy that included:

  • Buyer Persona identification and build out
  • Conversion focused website design and development
  • Sales process definition and execution
  • CRM implementation
  • Phone, email, and social media prospecting
  • Qualification of opportunities
  • Paid search campaign landing page development, conversion optimization, and ongoing management
  • Event promotions and support

Layer 1

Foundations

Buyer persona identification and build-out, conversion-focused website design and development, and CRM implementation.

Layer 2

Sales process

Sales process definition and execution, plus qualification of opportunities as they entered the pipeline.

Layer 3

Multi-channel prospecting

Phone, email, and social media prospecting run in parallel to fill the pipeline.

Layer 4

Paid search & events

Paid search campaign landing page development, conversion optimization, and ongoing management, plus event promotion and support.

The Results

$6M qualified pipeline generated since inception, from 200+ leads.

The results of the new sales program were impressive:

  • 1,400 average prospecting touchpoints weekly
  • Over 200 leads, generating $6 million in qualified pipeline since inception
  • Over $2 million closed in annual revenue
  • 11X return on deployed capital
To date, FullFunnel has partnered closely with Data Advantage Group in order to drive substantial pipeline and revenue growth.

Why It Works · FullFunnel's Role

Volume and precision, running together.

FullFunnel pairs high-volume, multi-channel prospecting with a well-defined ICP and qualification process. This engagement is a proof point: 1,400 weekly touchpoints only translated into $6M in qualified pipeline because the persona, website, and qualification process were built first. Volume without precision is just noise; this pairing is what compounded into an 11x return on deployed capital.
