@qudsia_ali Thank you so much for sharing these. They all seem really good suggestions.
Will try to incorporate as many ways as possible while making sales.
cold outreach has worked for me before
@richard_gao2 which platforms did you use?
@rameen_zafar It was a while back when I used to do web design for auto repair shops.
I would just browses Google listings for businesses and start calling them
@richard_gao2 Cool. But I'm afraid that this won't work in my case as I feel that no office manager or team lead would be comfortable in receiving cold calls. What do you think?
@richard_gao2 Also, please share if you have any idea of how can I get the contact numbers of my customers because unlike repair shops their contacts are not public :(
This is how we have done it and have also done it in larger firms:
1. Define your audience by industry and job title
2. You can either use a tool to get email addresses or Sales Navigator on Linkedin to get contacts
3. Use an outbound sequencing software on either the email address or Linkedin to create flows
Depending on the header / opening message, I've seen open rates / message reads between 10%-30% and responses in the 1%-2% game. In other words it is a numbers game but the automation should help you scale that to get more inbound enquiries.
There are other things you can do around content creation (using AI now!) to retarget those people (mainly on Linkedin) to also grow awareness.
Finally, your website and marketing collateral should make the buying / discovery journey easy.
Hopefully not too generic advice but broadly speaking, that's the framework. Good luck.
@rex_kumaran Thank you so much. This is reassuring as I had already starting exploring point 2 & 3. Hoping that Sales navigator and sequencing softwares will give me some good output :)

To boost the sales and distribution of your B2B Car SaaS, it's crucial to first understand your target audience thoroughly. Develop detailed buyer personas to pinpoint their unique needs and pain points within the automotive industry. Ensure your SaaS product stands out by offering distinctive features or competitive advantages.
Build a proficient sales team well-versed in the automotive sector and your product. Establish a strong online presence with a professional website and active social media profiles. Content marketing is key, creating valuable content such as blog posts, whitepapers, and webinars.
Use targeted email marketing campaigns for lead nurturing, and maintain excellent customer support for satisfaction and retention. Attend industry events to network and seek partnerships with complementary businesses. Implement referral programs and free trials to attract and convert potential customers.

Consider loyalty programs, geo-targeted advertising, and compliance with data security regulations. Lastly, provide customer education to ensure they get the most out of your product. Flexibility and patience are essential as these strategies take time to yield results, and adaptation is often necessary as the market evolves.
