Client Story

The Navtrak Story

MarketLauncher began working with Navtrak, a leading provider of on-demand mobile workforce management software and hardware solutions for field service, delivery and sales departments with a mobile workforce. The ML team closely tracked campaign metrics to help Navtrak better understand the market and the key demographics where they were gaining the most traction. Within 2 years, Navtrak closed a $5M deal, the largest in company history, from a lead developed by the ML team. Over the course of four years the ML team secured over 500 meetings for the Navtrak sales team, creating a qualified sales pipeline of opportunities which closed at a consistent rate of 33%. After ML helped them secure a significant midmarket client base and accelerate their sales process, Navtrak was acquired by Telogis.

“There are two things more than any other that set MarketLauncher apart – their metrics-based approach and their ability to translate those metrics into meaningful reports that provide concrete insights.” Senior VP of Sales and Marketing

Client Story

The Click Commerce Story

In 2008 MarketLauncher began providing lead generation and market research to a leading Service Network Solutions provider. The core focus of the program was to help them gain share in a key market sector, aerospace and defense. The ML team provided outbound activity at the top of the funnel to drive more qualified opportunities into the sales pipeline. After two years of growth, the client attracted the attention of private equity firm, Marlin Equity Partners and they were merged with Servigistics, the world’s leading enterprise software solution provider for Service Lifecycle Management.

“When momentum matters and your knowledge of the market is uncertain, MarketLauncher is the perfect choice. There is no better firm to launch a product or move into a new market. There is no better firm to target the C-suite. There is no better firm in the country. Despite any market challenges, they generate momentum rapidly!” Partner

Client Story

The Concert Genetics Story

Concert Genetics is a technology company dedicated to streamlining the process for ordering genetic testing. The SVP was looking for an outside resource to provide lead generation for his sales team. He was using other firms to provide a similar service and had received adequate results. However, the Chief Strategy Officer of another company in the private equity firm’s portfolio explained that he was receiving superior results with MarketLauncher. This referral led the Concert Genetics SVP to engage our services.

The ML team built a list of Lab Directors, Finance Executives and Hospital Administrators at a cross section of mid to large-sized hospital systems, Children’s hospitals and Academic Medical Centers.

The ML team booked two appointments in the first week of the program, and by the end of the initial pilot, the ML team had achieved 125% of the original lead goal. In a monthly meeting while reviewing program results, the CEO commented: “It is so refreshing and rare when a service provider does exactly what they said they were going to do.” That CEO has since gone on to another start up and, as soon as they began their commercial launch, he brought ML in.

“MarketLauncher exceeded my expectations, exceeded all goals and did so in support of a very complex hospital genetic testing software sale. Appointments led to opportunities which led to new contracts. ” SVP Business Development
