One of the coolest jobs around!
HARRY’S COMMENTS: We are working with a Lead Generation and Marketing Services firm based in Texas. The client is a proprietary technology-enabled provider of customer acquisition solutions servicing the professional services space across multiple industry verticals.
The firm’s multichannel acquisition engine identifies and targets prospective customers at the local level, leveraging proprietary data sets to automate its clients’ localized lead generation efforts. The firm links all critical aspects of targeting, engaging and onboarding new customers, beginning with data mining and campaign design — then continuing through appointment setting, lead management, and intake processing.
For professional services firms, my client’s value prop is a no-brainer.
My client offers lead management technology that allows professional services firms to buy digital leads (sourced from eight digital sources, including SEO, PPC, and social media) and then automate the intake and management of those leads into a leading edge technology platform.
The client’s vision is to be the premier sales prospecting technology and services platform for the professional services industries. That covers a lot of ground. For now, the client’s business revolves two primary professional services verticals, with several other promising professional services markets targeted for development.
According to FirstResearch …
The US professional services industry includes about 890,000 establishments (single-location firms and units of multi-location firms) with combined annual revenue of about $1.6 trillion. Within that universe, the US legal services industry includes about 180,000 establishments (single-location firms and units of multilocation firms) with combined annual revenue of about $250 billion.
That’s a pretty target rich environment!
All of those professional services firms have marketing needs, and my client has proven its success as a technology and managed services provider that can drive differentiated levels of ROI for these services firms. The software facilitates brands’ coordination of marketing campaigns with non-owned local channels — meaning, it will give a small-time professional services provider a portal which enables them to “dial in” the exact parameters of a local campaign on their own.
Trust me: If there was a solution like this for recruiting, I’d be using it.
Ultimately, my client will be diversified across 4 – 6 end markets and it will have a financial profile that is commensurate with such success. Their client’s proprietary lead gen platform is capable of running on all cylinders across all of its different end markets, providing the efficiency and scale to drive tremendous cash flow.
Truly, this is one of the best examples I’ve seen of a marketing automation business that’s powered by a great core technology while its revenues are generated by managed services. Plus, its managed services piece is made even more powerful because the firm has the proprietary technology solution that complements them. The firm generates double-digit profitability that is among the largest in the industry — including the opportunity to make significant acquisitions.
Can you lead a team of Millennials?
