Requirement

Entering an unfamiliar market without a defined target list means outreach is guesswork. The requirement was a workbook the commercial team could act on immediately — ranked by fit, evidenced against live project activity, and structured so that every claim in it could be traced back to a public source.

Scope

  • Market and developer mapping across two cities
  • Priority scoring against defined criteria
  • Decision-maker route mapping from public sources
  • Active project and evidence logging
  • Outreach angle and channel guidance
  • Source log and verification trail

Approach

How the engagement ran.

  1. 01

    Criteria definition

    Target geography, segment, company profile and the scoring dimensions were agreed before research began.

  2. 02

    Research and evidence

    Public sources were worked systematically. Active projects and announcements were recorded as evidence alongside each organisation.

  3. 03

    Scoring and segmentation

    Each record was scored out of 100 and assigned a priority band, with the scoring method documented in the workbook itself.

  4. 04

    Outreach structuring

    Contact route, best channel, outreach angle and send guidance were mapped per record so the workbook could be worked without further research.

Production

What was produced.

The workbook was built as a working system rather than a list, with each sheet serving a distinct step in the outreach process.
