FUTUREWOODS Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Hayato Kohama) has published a success story featuring Company G, a logistics service provider. By utilizing the B2B sales support tool 'FutureSearch,' Company G transitioned from 'referral-dependent sales' to achieving over 1,200 high-precision monthly outreach attempts.
### The Sales Challenge: Lack of New Customer Acquisition
Company G, operating delivery and warehousing services in the Kanto and Kansai regions, had long relied on introductions from existing customers. However, with the transition to a second-generation CEO, they realized a lack of 'basic sales mechanisms.' Customer management was person-dependent, and action histories were unclear. Amid the '2024 problem' looming over the logistics industry, there was a growing sense of crisis regarding the reliance on existing clients.
### Why FutureSearch Was Chosen: Data Freshness and Centralization
Initially, Company G used two other sales support tools but faced hurdles such as targets becoming exhausted and outdated contact information. They chose FutureSearch for three reasons:
1. **Fresh Database:** Data is fully replaced every three months and updated weekly.
2. **Integrated Workflow:** From list creation to form-based outreach in one tool.
3. **Hands-on Support:** Free drafting support for outreach messages and kick-off meetings.
### Strategy: Targeted Approaches Using Industry Expertise
Company G moved from a 'Business Search' light plan (5,000 lists/month) to a basic plan (1,500 monthly automated form approaches).
1. **Direct Logistics Industry Outreach:** Targeted logistics companies for networking.
2. **Multi-angle Targeting:** Targeted manufacturing companies, the source of logistics needs, filtered by capital and other criteria.
3. **Existing Client Keyword Search:** Searching names of major existing clients to find related companies listed on their websites.
4. **Personalized Messaging:** Adding phrases like 'After viewing your website' to show sincerity.
### Results: 7.2% Unique Visit Rate, Far Exceeding Industry Average
In about eight months, Company G recorded:
- **Total Sales Lists Extracted:** Approx. 24,500 (Avg. 3,500/month)
- **Total Form Outreach Transmissions:** Approx. 9,600 (Avg. 1,200/month)
- **Unique Visit Rate:** 7.2%
Starting with zero sales experience, the company succeeded in systematizing its sales activities and achieved top-class industry response rates.
### Summary: Sales Reform in Logistics Starts with Systematization
Company G's success stems from choosing tools based on data freshness and strategically selecting targets based on industry knowledge. As the logistics structure changes, moving away from referral dependence is an urgent theme. FutureSearch continues to support B2B 'encounter optimization' through AI and the latest databases.
