02De uitdaging

The challenge

The commercial department of a professional football club is compact and, during the season, has its hands full with existing sponsors, matchday experience and events. As a result, new business relations mainly came from its own network.

03Onze aanpak

Our approach

We mapped the business market in the The Hague region and approached, per company, the owner or commercial manager who decides on sponsoring.

  • Selection of regional entrepreneurs who fit the club atmosphere.
  • Messaging based on experience and business networking, not on sponsorship packages.
  • Every interested entrepreneur was passed directly to the club.

MQL rate

A relevant share of the target audience developed demonstrable commercial interest.

The MQL rate is calculated over the same denominator in all cases: the number of DMU contacts approached within the campaign.

05Betekenis

But percentages aren't why you hire Vikingleads.

The goal is not to send as many emails as possible. The goal is to get your sales team into conversations with companies that have genuine interest.

Time

No searching during the season

The selecting and approaching is entirely outsourced from the club.

Focus

Only warm conversations

The club talks to entrepreneurs who have already shown interest.

Continuity

Even outside the football rhythm

The inflow continues during the summer and winter break.
