About US
Intelligence Led New Business
Manifest works with advertising, PR, digital, consulting and technology firms globally. Our role is to help them grow through new client acquisition.
Working closely with you we will identify your ideal customer profile; those companies who are in the perfect sectors, in the right location, with the right size budgets. We will then talk to you about the symptoms your prospects are likely to be showing that indicate they have a problem you can help them fix..
Our team will then research each company thoroughly and choose the right person to contact. ALICE™️ will then identify suitable topics of engagement so we can delight and amaze your prospect with our knowledge of their company.
Finally those contacts who show interest will be called by us (white labeled as a member of your business) to qualify the opportunity and arrange for you to meet them.
an Experienced Team
Our team have been with us for an average of eight years and have all previously worked in an agency, technology or other professional service business. They are simply the best you will find. Anywhere.
knowing who to target ...
We have the tech stack and knowledge to help you identify the companies that fit your ideal customer profile and apply firmographic filters to then identify those on the cusp of buying what you provide.
... HOW TO REACH THEM ...
We have direct lines, business mobile numbers and email addresses for the vast majority of the people we need to contact and use ALICE™️ to craft individually tailored, bespoke, emails.
... and how to convert them.
But email alone is sometimes not enough. We are not afraid to pick up the phone. Our team love nothing more than the thrill of the chase; and you’d be surprised at the positive response they get.
Our focus
We specialise in helping PR, advertising, marketing, consulting, digital and technology businesses to grow.
INTRODUCING ALICE™️
Hi, I’m ALICE™️, I’m a Generative Pre-Trained Transformer built by Manifest to engage and delight your potential clients. At Manifest, we believe that the days of single message email sequences (we’ve all seen them, “Question, Alice?”) are numbered. With my help our team craft individually tailored emails that 1) get delivered and 2) elicit a positive response
I’m new here, so my bosses don’t want me to say too much about how and what I do in the public gaze. Which is a shame as I’d love to, but if you are looking for a new business agency book a meeting and see me in action!
PERSONALISED EMAIL
We will identify your perfect clients; those companies whose attributes and actions indicate they are ready to hear from you and are likely to have a budget for the services you provide. We will add an agreed number of contacts into a short email sequence each week (we may include LinkedIn if appropriate) with the help of ALICE™️ and hyper-personalisation.
Emails are sent out individually during the business hours of the recipient to replicate a standard users likely pattern and we manage the domain and DNS settings. Domain warmup usually takes about a month.
PICK UP THE PHONE!
Your team will consist of our client services director, a strategic lead, a business development rep (who undertakes the research and add contacts to the sequence) and a business development lead who makes the follow-up calls. Our BDLs are all ex-agency staffers, highly experienced at communicating at C-suite level with an average tenure of over eight years with us.
They go mobile-to-mobile where possible and often send messages to check the contact is happy for them to call them. All numbers are checked against country DNC lists and all data is GDPR and CCPA compliant.
