How I Helped a Drone Tech Company Close 35% More Enterprise Deals
The secret? We fixed their basics before jumping into #ABM.
When I started working with this drone platform, their marketing was scattered. Most aviation companies weren't even using #CRMs. Here's what we did:
1. Fixed the Foundation
Started with tracking everything. No fancy tools - just basic analytics to understand their sales cycle and closure rates.
2. #Sales #Enablement First
Created a simple but powerful sales kit:
- Technical documentation
- Proof of concept examples
- Product roadmap
- Business case studies
This alone increased closure rates significantly.
3. #Market #Analysis
We discovered two golden markets:
- South Africa
- Southern Europe
These regions had 25-35% close rates from demo to customer.
4. Content #Strategy
Instead of mass outreach, we built authority:
- Launched an industry-specific podcast
- Featured unknown aviation pioneers
- Focused on regional success stories
5. The #ABM #Evolution
Only after fixing the basics did we build our ABM machine. We:
- Filtered prospects ruthlessly
- Focused only on perfect-fit companies
- Eliminated "maybe" prospects entirely
Key Learning: In today's oversaturated outreach environment, clarity beats volume.
The Results:
- 35% increase in enterprise deal closure
- Shorter sales cycles
- Higher quality leads
- Better sales-marketing alignment
Most founders jump straight to ABM. But sometimes, the biggest wins come from fixing your foundation first.
Remember: Your best prospects are usually hidden in your existing data.
