Define the ICP
Prioritize e-learning and education companies that matched Eventory’s agreed market criteria.
CLIENT STORY / EVENTORY
Eventory needed a dependable outbound pipeline within its core e-learning and education ICP. Success depended on finding the right companies, selecting the right roles for each company size, and reaching them through accurate email data.
Eventory’s strongest fit was within the e-learning and education ecosystem, but industry relevance alone was not enough. The research also had to account for company size and the way responsibility for events, engagement, and business development changes from one organization to another.
At larger organizations, the relevant contact could sit within HR, Marketing, Events, or Business Development. At smaller companies, the buying decision was more likely to belong to a founder or another C-level leader.
Before research began, Sourcely and Eventory agreed on exact parameters: target industries, company sizes, job functions, and daily lead volumes. The team then researched companies and contacts against those parameters instead of relying on broad database filters.
Prioritize e-learning and education companies that matched Eventory’s agreed market criteria.
Target HR, Marketing, Event, and Business Development stakeholders—or C-level contacts at smaller firms.
Use multiple sources and quality checks to find accurate addresses beyond popular email-finding tools.
Prepare focused prospect segments and strong email inputs aligned with the target audience.
By narrowing the research to Eventory’s real ICP and matching each account to the most relevant stakeholder, campaign quality improved before the first email was sent. Better contact research increased deliverability, while more relevant targeting and stronger emails produced a significant improvement in response rate.
A high proportion of valid business emails reduced avoidable campaign waste.
Precise ICP and role targeting made outreach more relevant to recipients.
Agreed lead volumes and parameters created a predictable operating rhythm.
Changes to targeting requirements were incorporated immediately into ongoing research.
WHY IT WORKED
The campaign improved because account selection, stakeholder mapping, email research, and messaging all followed the same precise ICP.
Research concentrated on e-learning and education rather than a loosely related market category.
Contacts changed according to company size and how each organization assigned responsibility.
Accurate address research supported stronger delivery than standard email-finding tools alone.
New instructions and targeting changes were quickly reflected in subsequent deliveries.
The contacts delivered had a high rate of valid email addresses, something popular email-finding tools could not achieve.
