Case Study
Background: A telecom organization engaged MECLABS for lead generation
Objective: To determine if higher-cost/higher-quality data can drive down
overall cost-per-lead, so we can focus on the most efficient list source.
Primary research question: Which campaign data source will drive the
most efficient value?
Test Design: Four multi-source lists, a user-generated list, and a single-
source list were tested under consistent experiment conditions, with 300
accounts and 80 hours of teleprospecting hours.

19. Identify the right companies and people
Key Takeaways
• “Cheap” data is really expensive.
• The less you spend on data, the more you will spend
on teleprospecting.
• We must see list acquisition as strategic, not simply
transactional.

24. Case StudyHow an technology reduced cost per lead by 75%

25. Background: A B2B eDiscovery technology and services provider had 25
list sources available. Data was assigned to sales reps as new list sources
were attained without regard for list source performance.
Goal: To drive most efficient pipeline and revenue through
teleprospecting
Primary research question: Which list will drive the most efficient lead
generation?
Approach: Prioritize calling based on the quality and efficiency of the list
sources. Each source was called for 80 to 100 hours.

33. Segment, score and prioritize: takeaways
• You don't always need to start with a new list. You can
optimize the ROI from your current lists by testing
and prioritizing.
• Testing lists gives you the ability to guide your
present and future marketing initiatives.
• Over time, testing will reveal patterns customer
behavior.
• However, in your testing, don’t neglect qualitative
analysis (e.g., conversations, questions, objections)
