11 service opportunities with the equipment problem already identified

Benchline repairs and services commercial material-handling equipment.

Owner Samir Shah didn’t want another database of businesses with forklifts. He wanted conversations with businesses that actually had equipment requiring service, repair, or replacement.

The brief

Benchline used Kite to target:

  • Warehouses
  • Manufacturers
  • Distribution centres
  • Companies operating 5+ forklifts
  • Operations and maintenance decision-makers

The first month

From 967 decision-makers to 8 conversations booked.

Each dot is one decision-maker Kite reached.
  1. 967 decision-makers contacted
  2. 38 replies generated
  3. 11 qualified service opportunities identified
  4. 8 conversations booked

$42,500 in estimated service and repair work uncovered

Inside the conversations

One prospect operated 17 forklifts and had two units repeatedly going down. Kite confirmed the issue, the equipment type, and who was responsible before Samir entered the conversation.

Another company was planning to replace three aging units within the next quarter.

By the time I speak to someone, I already know what equipment they have and what’s happening with it. We’re talking about the job from the beginning instead of me trying to figure out whether there even is one.
