“Outbound opened doors we couldn't reach through events alone.”
— Head of Sales, Climate Tech Platform
Case Study
How this climate-tech platform went from event-driven growth to €2M+ pipeline—and into RFPs with Europe's largest enterprises.
Overview
Industry: B2B Enterprise Software - Climate Tech
Location: Berlin, Germany
Company Size: 11–50 employees
Timeline: 3 months
This company is a digital environmental marketplace and climate finance platform that helps organizations credibly offset their carbon emissions by sourcing, verifying, purchasing, and managing high-quality carbon credits.
They already had:
- VC Backed, ambitious growth targets
- All leads coming from events & network
What they lacked was a scalable outbound system to reach very specific enterprise target audiences beyond events.
The Challenge
Event-dependent growth with limited enterprise reach.
- Very specific enterprise target audience (corporate sustainability teams, ESG professionals)
- All leads coming from events & network
- Challenge reaching decision-makers at Europe's largest enterprises
- No scalable outbound motion for enterprise accounts
- Long sales cycles requiring consistent touchpoints
As a VC-backed climate tech platform they needed to scale beyond event-driven growth to reach enterprise accounts systematically.
The Goal
Build an enterprise-focused outbound system that:
- Reaches very specific enterprise target audiences
- Opens doors to Europe's largest enterprises
- Generates qualified pipeline for long sales cycles
- Gets into RFPs with major corporations
- Becomes the strongest growth channel
