FEI Company/Phenom-World and NextSales
One of the success stories of NextSales in the HighTech sector is the introduction of the Phenom electron microscope from FEI Company.
During the development of Phenom it soon became clear that Sales needed a different approach than selling the large FEI products. The market segment where Phenom is positioned is not the existing FEI client base. The success of the launch of this product was highly dependent on the speed with which new customers could be found. Together with the responsible persons at FEI we performed a Market Scan. This resulted in a list of target companies and the relevant DMU. We started to target the market through several approaches:
- The initial work consisted of contacting and informing the FEI client base
- Qualifying target lists
- Lead Generation
This was the start of our Sales-funnel. After the first contacts and mailings, several actions were taken so that we could start selling. Prospects were invited for demonstrations of Phenom and the product launch.
The follow-up of these activities and demonstrations was done in collaboration between Sales of NextSales and the application specialists of FEI.
Demonstrations were provided by NextSales (sometimes together with an applications specialist). From there, the commercial process until the contract negotiation was handled by NextSales. During the nearly 4-year collaboration, the Phenom business in the Netherlands has become the largest installed group of devices worldwide. Not only FEI’s Phenom business has benefited from this, thanks to the efforts of NextSales, leads have also emerged for the other FEI products.
In addition, FEI has gained greater brand awareness within the target market.
