This client is an international Software Solution provider to the Insurance and banking market. A2O have been contracted on an ongoing monthly basis for nearly 10 years to gain traction in the UK & European region.  The Board recognized the need for expanded footprint into emerging markets, namely South Africa.  The most cost-effective way to promote their services and reach the right decision makers for the desired target markets – Insurance and Banking offering short term insurance, life insurance and reinsurance – would be to utilize the skills Acorn2Oak Marketing Ltd provided.

This client:  Genano UK Ltd is a leading manufacturer of specialised air purification systems.  They had a substantial database of sales targets in the UK laboratory market, which required evaluation, prioritising and starting to contact the targets for sales meetings.

Together with A2O we worked on the evaluation criteria, they created the suggested priority list for our comments and approval and started to arrange the meetings with the listed prospective clients. Regular progress updates were agreed as well.

“Both parties knew that the task was challenging because of the new company in UK, new product to the UK market and our air purifiers are very much for niche purposes. However, the hit ratio for arranged sales meetings exceeded our expectations so we had the wanted results.”
