Cybersecurity

Series A Cybersecurity company.

A Series A cybersecurity company that had just launched its SaaS product in the Middle East, selling to a small, well-defined population of security professionals — with no team on the ground to reach them.

We worked the market as one list rather than a campaign: the practitioners first, then a top-down motion into the leadership above them, with conference and event leads folded into the same follow-up.

Challenge

The challenge

This client had recently launched their SaaS product in the Middle East and needed support booking meetings with a niche audience of cybersecurity professionals. Without a local team on the ground, they were looking for a reliable partner to drive outreach and fill their account executive's calendar with qualified meetings.

Approach

Practitioners first, leadership second.

    How we ran it

    Our strategy focused on highly targeted outbound outreach. Given the niche nature of the ICP, we spent the initial months engaging directly with key individuals through email, LinkedIn, and phone calls. We then shifted to a top-down approach, nurturing relationships with the leadership team to drive broader engagement. This allowed us to effectively cover a significant portion of the market. In parallel, we followed up with leads generated from the client's participation in conferences and industry events to maximize conversion opportunities

Results

A calendar filled in a market they had just entered.

Over nine months the motion booked 60 meetings, produced 25 qualified opportunities and sourced $1.25M in pipeline.

The order mattered more than the volume. Working the practitioners first gave the top-down conversations something to reference, which is what let a small team cover a niche market without a local presence.
