How a Manufacturing Business Added 157 New Clients in Just 12 Months

In the world of small business, consistent growth can seem like an elusive goal. But what if I told you that a manufacturing company in the heat and control instruments industry added 157 new paying clients in just 12 months? It's not a fairy tale - it's a real success story from my clients, John and Trisha.

The Secret? Simple, Consistent Strategies

You might be wondering what magic formula they used. The truth? There's no magic involved. Just simple, "dumb and boring" strategies applied consistently over time. Let's break down what they did:

1. Database Renewal and Targeted Outreach

  • Identified inactive customers: They started by looking at past customers who hadn't transacted in a while.
  • Updated contact information: They refreshed their database, ensuring they had the right contacts at each organization.
  • Expanded their reach: They identified additional decision-makers within each company to broaden their influence.

2. LinkedIn Campaigns

  • Targeted approach: They created highly focused LinkedIn campaigns, targeting specific companies and individuals.
  • Sparked curiosity: The goal wasn't immediate sales, but to start conversations and pique interest.

Aimed for site visits: They knew that if they could secure a site visit, their chances of making a sale significantly increased.

3. Google SEO and Ads

  • Invested in SEO: They focused on improving their search engine rankings to increase visibility.
  • Complemented with Google Ads: To further boost their online presence, they ran targeted Google Ad campaigns.

4. Consistent Social Media Presence

  • Repurposed content: They turned their blog posts into social media content, maximizing the value of their efforts.
  • Drove traffic back to their site: Each post was designed to encourage followers to visit their website and learn more.

5. Regular Email Marketing

  • Twice-weekly emails: They committed to sending two emails per week to their database.
  • Product-focused content: One email typically highlighted a specific product, linking to a blog post and purchase opportunity.
  • Nurturing content: The second weekly email focused on building relationships, sharing insights, and keeping customers informed.

The Results Speak for Themselves

By consistently applying these strategies, John and Trisha's business saw remarkable growth. They added an average of 3 new clients per week, totaling 157 new paying customers in just 12 months.

What's more, they achieved this without relying on cold calling or aggressive sales tactics. Most of their customer interactions were initiated by the clients themselves, responding to the consistent, value-driven communication they received.

Always good to be reminded John, that there is no magic, but the secret is being consistent in the boring stuff. You mentioned your business client emailing their database twice a week - what would you say the ideal number is for this?
