How an SAP partner rebuilt a broken outbound channel across three countries

An SAP and Odoo implementation partner had a strong lead list and no channel that worked. We built signal-led lists for each offer and industry, 60 mailboxes across three countries, LinkedIn outreach from verified profiles and LinkedIn ads.

The starting point

Where they started

What was in the way before the first campaign went out.

“I have an amazing lead list with me. But somewhere my channel is broken.”

North America CEO, on the first call
The goal

Qualified meetings for each offer in each country, with lists the CEO could trust.

01

A broken channel

A good list and no reliable way to reach it. LinkedIn ran on avatar accounts that could be lost overnight.

02

Company-level data only

Their visitor tool named companies, not people, so nobody knew who to call.

03

Three offers, three markets

S/4HANA for large US companies, Business One for the UK and North America, Odoo for smaller firms in Canada and the US.

Who we went after

Three offers, three different buyers

Each offer got its own list, its own copy and its own campaigns. Nothing was shared across them except the infrastructure.

A signal says when to reach out, not just who. These decided who got a message, and when.

Day 0From the partner's regional team
SubjectManaging forecast errors and stock-outs in wholesale

Supply networks often strain when demand shifts unexpectedly, turning forecast errors into costly stock-outs and urgent rush orders.

We help teams build resilient operations across planning, procurement and fulfilment. We recently took a logistics company live on SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition in well under the usual timeline.

Would you be open to a quick overview of how they did it?

SubjectRe: Managing forecast errors and stock-outs in wholesaleSame thread

A wholesale business we work with went live on SAP S/4HANA Cloud in a fraction of the usual time. Would you like me to send over our implementation guide?

SubjectRe: Managing forecast errors and stock-outs in wholesaleSame thread

With AI-driven demand planning built into SAP S/4HANA Cloud, similar teams have cut rush-order costs. Shall I forward our technical brief?

Problems and fixes

What didn't work, and what we changed

Every campaign hits problems. These are the ones that mattered, and the fix for each.

What went wrong

One S/4HANA list mixed three very different groups

What we changed

Separate lists for migrations, current S/4 users and partners, each with its own pitch.

What went wrong

Industry by country meant 36 campaigns per offer

What we changed

Campaigns by industry, with the country tracked after a reply and routed to the regional owner.

What went wrong

LinkedIn on avatar accounts

What we changed

Genuine, ID-verified profiles with two-factor login, spread across two tools.

What went wrong

"Book a call" felt like too big an ask

What we changed

Lower-friction offers first: a case study, a walkthrough or an ERP gap analysis.

What went wrong

The pharma copy read as generic to an expert

What we changed

Rewritten with the terms buyers use, like 21 CFR Part 11, batch records and FEFO, and split by sub-segment.

What went wrong

Revenue data that couldn't be trusted

What we changed

Employee-size ranges plus revenue checks. Companies under the size floor removed.

Takeaways

What we'd tell a team like theirs

  1. Split lists by offer and situation before you write a word.
  2. Run campaigns by industry. Track the country after the reply.
  3. Let a domain expert read the copy. Buyers notice the words.
