The Challenge

ActuateIOT sells to industrial companies - manufacturing, logistics, facilities management. Their ICP is notoriously hard to reach:

- Traditional data providers have poor coverage on industrial contacts - Decision makers often aren't on LinkedIn - No single data source covers their niche - Previous outbound attempts bounced at 5%+

The Solution

We built a specialized enrichment system for hard-to-reach ICPs:

**Research:** - Mapped the industrial buyer journey - Identified alternative data sources (trade associations, industry events) - Built persona-specific messaging for plant managers vs IT directors

**Enrichment Waterfall:** - 5-stage waterfall combining multiple providers - Industry-specific data sources for manufacturing - Phone enrichment for contacts not reachable via email

**Infrastructure:** - HubSpot with custom properties for industrial verticals - Integration with their existing tools - Reporting on coverage by industry segment

The Results

The enrichment system transformed their outbound capability:

- 85%+ email coverage (up from 55%) - <1% bounce rate - Able to reach plant managers and ops directors - Repeatable process for new account additions
