More about appointment setting

Why outsourcing prospecting works in manufacturing

Investments in industry have long lead times and a small group of decision-makers. Whoever gets to the table early has a head start. A permit, an investment in the news or a job opening that stays unfilled is often the first sign. Radar tracks those signals, and our team secures the first conversation.

How we approach industrial decision-makers

With substance and patience. We combine LinkedIn and calling, and follow up until the meeting is booked. For CODU Automatisering, active in industrial automation, around 1,000 invitations led to 5 to 6 new clients.

  • Connection requests from your profile to production and technical managers
  • Phone follow-up of warm and lukewarm leads
  • Campaigns in Dutch, English and German
  • Every appointment first for your approval in your client portal

What our clients say

Our sales cycle takes months. Will this still work?

Yes. We secure the first conversation with the right person; the rest of the process is up to you. A long cycle is actually a reason to start early. In the strategy session, we make a realistic estimate of what you can expect.

Can you also approach German manufacturers?

Yes, with German-speaking callers and a formal approach. In Germany, we work with Radar and LinkedIn, and only call with a concrete, documented reason.
