Challenge

The University of Bolton faced the challenge of identifying businesses in need of highly trained apprentices or looking to upskill existing employees. They needed a strategic partner to help build a strong outbound sales pipeline targeting local businesses in Greater Manchester, particularly within industries relevant to their university courses.

Our team recognised the University’s need to build a targeted and local lead generation strategy, which would allow them to connect with businesses in need of apprentices and upskilling opportunities.

Sopro implemented a comprehensive, multi-channel approach, targeting businesses within a 50-mile radius of Greater Manchester and engaging them through highly personalised email and LinkedIn outreach. The strategy also included proactive website engagement using tracking and IP identification to reach out to potential leads.

By focusing on a personalised, multi-touch approach, we were able to engage local businesses effectively and ensure that our outreach resonated with their specific needs and challenges.
