1 year with EOC
Limited audience growth and lead generation through internal outreach
Meetings Scheduled: 60+ high-quality meetings secured in 9 months
Newsletter Growth: Subscriber count grew from 0 to over 32,000 with a 44% open rate
Integrated newsletter and cold email outreach to significantly expand audience engagement and sales opportunities
Over ten months, SelectSoftware Reviews (SSR), a trusted software evaluation platform, partnered with Email Outreach Company (EOC) to significantly grow their newsletter audience and improve the quality of sales meetings booked.
Starting from scratch in October 2024, EOC quickly established and scaled SSR’s newsletter, simultaneously implementing a targeted cold email outreach campaign that drove consistent, qualified meeting generation.
SelectSoftware Reviews is a go-to platform for HR and recruiting teams, offering expert-driven guides, unbiased software reviews, and in-depth comparisons across leading HR technology solutions.
Since partnering with EOC, SSR’s newsletter and targeted cold emailing initiatives have dramatically improved their market visibility, subscriber engagement, and lead generation efforts.
