Procore Technologies Launches into New Markets
Procore Technologies, Inc. provides construction management software to clients across the globe.
Procore wanted to expand its focus on operations and project management decision makers in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. As a result, Procore diversified into LinkedIn Sponsored InMail, which allowed the company to directly engage with prospects by delivering targeted, personalized messages right into customers' LinkedIn inboxes; Procore coupled this approach with sponsored video to build long-term brand equity and authentic connections to its brand.
Specifically, in the U.S., Australia and New Zealand, Procore focused on diversifying products and skills-based targeting, which allowed them to target specific competencies that span a broad range of job titles. While in the United Kingdom, Procore focused on building brand awareness to increase its Company Page following and engagement.
Customer Success: Focusing its strategy on LinkedIn, Procore created brand awareness within the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand to assist its sales team in penetrating these new markets. This in turn allowed Procore to fortify its position as a leader within the U.S. construction planning technology market and extend its reach into Australia, New Zealand and United Kingdom markets in 2019.
ChannelSight Outperforming Its Lead Generation Targets on LinkedIn
ChannelSight’s eCommerce solution provides a fast, frictionless path to purchase for consumers. By connecting brands to their preferred retailers, it enables brands to grow both online and offline sales and offer a leading online experience.
ChannelSight had been focused on driving traffic to its website and capturing leads there. The company wanted to scale while keeping the lead quality, so it was testing LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms. However, ChannelSight was having difficulties with this approach, because they did not have a CRM system that integrated with LinkedIn. To resolve this, ChannelSight implemented an integration with Zapier, which enabled ChannelSight to use Lead Gen Forms armed with LinkedIn targeting capabilities to drive quality leads at scale that were easily filtered through to their sales team. The immediate business impact was clear.
Customer Success: ChannelSight was able to reduce its cost-per-lead by 200% while generating over 800 leads. LinkedIn is responsible for a large customer acquisition valued at $10K per region with a potential to rise to $100k+.
