A trade fair list turned into booked meetings

Reps were heading to an international trade fair without the right emails for the accounts they wanted to meet. We enriched the list in Clay, and the client reports four first meetings booked from it.

The short answer
The trade fair list was one part of a wider pipeline cleanup. We enriched about 100 target accounts in Clay so reps could reach the right people, and in the same engagement moved sales targets into Salesforce and reworked the SDR and AE pipeline dashboards.

How it worked
Problem, fix, proof
01
The problem

What was getting in the way?

Reps knew which accounts would be at the fair but didn’t have the right emails to reach them. Behind that, the reporting had its own problems: sales targets were typed into every dashboard widget by hand each quarter, and early-stage pipeline counts disagreed between dashboards.
02
The fix

What did we fix?

Three things, in the same engagement:
  • Enriched about 100 trade fair accounts in Clay with the right contacts
  • Created a Salesforce goal object, so dashboards read targets from data
  • Reworked the SDR and AE pipeline dashboards
The list, the targets, and the dashboards, fixed together.
03
The proof

What does the client report?

Four stage-zero meetings booked straight from the enriched list, and the stage discrepancies between dashboards resolved.
The result

What changed?

Reps went in with people to contact rather than company names, and the dashboards now agree on early pipeline.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a stage-zero meeting?
A first meeting, logged at the earliest stage of the client’s Salesforce pipeline.
What is a Salesforce goal object?
A place to store sales targets as data, so dashboards pull them automatically instead of someone typing targets into each chart every quarter.
Is four meetings an improvement?
We can’t say yet. There’s no meeting rate from before the enrichment to compare against, so we report the four meetings as a count.
