Sales Model
High-ticket consulting engagements
The client had strong expertise and clear positioning but lacked a scalable outbound channel. Referrals were inconsistent, and the founder intentionally avoided LinkedIn outreach to reduce noise and time investment.
The Challenge
- No predictable client acquisition channel
- Founder spending time on low-quality discovery calls
- No structured outbound or follow-up system
- Need for a cost-efficient, controlled outreach model
Why Email-Only ABM
Touchstone recommended email-only Account-Based Marketing to:
- Reach senior decision-makers directly
- Avoid LinkedIn inbox saturation
- Maintain a professional, non-intrusive buying experience
Touchstone’s Email ABM Strategy
1. Ideal Account & Buyer Targeting
- Narrow ICP defined by industry, company size, and revenue
- Only founder-level and CXO roles targeted
- Clean, verified business email data used
2. Personalized Email Sequences
- Short, value-driven emails (no attachments, no pitching)
- Personalization based on industry context and business triggers
- 3–4 step follow-up sequence over 21 days
3. Managed Replies & Qualification
- All email replies handled by Touchstone
- Prospects qualified based on intent and fit
- Only sales-ready prospects passed to the founder
4. Calendar-Based Call Booking
- Qualified prospects booked directly on the founder’s calendar
- Clear agenda shared before every call
Business Impact
- Consistent flow of sales-ready demos
- Higher quality conversations with actual buyers
- Reduced founder involvement in early-stage filtering
- ABM became the primary growth channel for outbound demos
Why This Worked
Instead of chasing volume, the campaign focused on the right accounts, the right message, and the right timing which is exactly how ABM is meant to work.
