Appointment setting

Appointments that turn into sales​

Appointment setting is focused on generating high-quality leads and reducing your time to market.

Relationships bridge the gap between marketing and sales

Risk & compliance technology buyers spend time considering new products because the stakes for their organisations are so high. It can take an average of 128 attempts and activities to set one sales-qualified appointment with a verified Risk-Tech buyer.

To get to that point, buyers need to feel like they’ve truly been listened to, understood, and that the product they’re considering fulfils all their organisation’s needs.

What our clients say about Gungho

How we’ll help drive your business growth

While every business within the GRC space is unique, we’ve learned there’s a proven process to optimising specialist B2B tech sales. Here’s how we’ll partner with you to drive your growth.

Ahead of any new campaign, we strategize with you to identify the target accounts, audience, countries of interest and particular languages required. We surface likely challenges and pain points for your ideal buyers, build an understanding of the local market and entity regulations. The competition is meticulously scrutinised, and workflow is built to register and report on likely outcomes.

Shortening your sales cycle requires having a laser focus on who your ideal customer is. To find the right audience for your product, we partner with you to identify and refine your Ideal Customer Profile. Criteria can include job title, industry, geography, size, time zone or region and more. Some of our clients already know exactly which companies they want to target and draw up a ‘most wanted’ list at the outset.

Taking all this information together we build you a bespoke audience based on your ICP from Gungho’s proprietary risk & compliance database.

To set sales-qualified appointments, our Business Discovery Agents have to become your brand’s biggest ambassadors. Your Gungho BDA team will undertake an immersive training day with you, whether virtually or on-site. Your dedicated Gungho BDAs learn directly from you, becoming familiar with your product until they’re ready to represent you to your ideal clients.

Once planning, profiling and training is complete, Gungho will be ready to start calling. We enter a phase of fine-tuning the buyer profile and the product-market fit for the audience we’ve built for you and analysing weekly campaign results.

Once your Gungho team are fully immersed in your brand and your audience has been fine-tuned, your BDAs will make hundreds of targeted calls. We know it takes on average 128 activities to set one sales qualified appointment. In aggregate our BDA colleagues take over 100,000 actions per month – we’re committed to setting quality, qualified appointments at scale and speed.

Timely follow-up is critical to retaining B2B buyers’ interest and moving leads along your sales funnel. We share the opportunities and appointments set directly with your sales team in real-time, making sure everyone’s up to date and your sales team are able to nurture the lead while it’s fresh. We will also stay on top of any unexpected no-shows so you don’t have to.

We share dashboards detailing the calling efforts each week, highlight any future opportunities, pass on insights or trends and exchange ideas and focus for the following week. In addition, we report on the appointments and opportunities we’ve passed to your sales team.
