A digital lead generation campaign for FLSmidth backed by a Payment by Results agreement

The challenge
FLSmidth wanted to develop a pipeline of well qualified leads for its brand-new product FerroCer – an impact wear liner delivering truly game changing performance. The product is relevant for most mining companies.

The strategy
Using the Act-On marketing automation platform the marketing and sales department of FLSmidth worked closely together to determine the right definition of a MQL (Marketing Qualified Leads). A database of several thousand contacts in the main markets in North and South America was loaded to Act-On. The lead generation campaign covers four waves executed in both English and Spanish.

A Payment By Results agreement was drawn up whereby Blue Business will be rewarded for both number of quality leads and actual sales of FerroCer.

The concept
The target group consist of both technical decision makers (maintenance and production) and business decision makers (purchasing and finance). Using customer testimonials a number of targeted messages were developed and during the campaign A/B testing was used to determine the relevance of each message.

The elements
In order to generate as many quality leads to sales as possible, the lead generation campaign consists of multiple integrated touchpoints. With the campaign, FLSmidth is communicating with a large group of potential customers, some of whom the currently do not have an ongoing dialogue with. Some of the campaign elements are.
