“We always believed our technology could solve the toughest industrial challenges, but connecting with the right people at the right time was our biggest hurdle. With Jeeva, we booked more meetings in 4 weeks than we did in the previous 4 months — and without anyone on our team having to touch a prospect list.”
Robert Presser, President of Acme Engineering
Turning decades of industrial brilliance into outbound sales success without touching a prospect list.
Executive Summary
Acme Engineering Products, a trusted name in industrial precision since 1956, faced a sales process stuck in the past. Despite a stellar engineering reputation, their manual lead management and outreach limited pipeline growth and slowed deal velocity. After adopting Jeeva AI’s autonomous sales agents, Acme automated lead enrichment, launched highly personalized, multi-channel campaigns, integrated hiring insights into outreach, and leveraged an AI-powered chatbot for real-time lead capture. Within just four weeks, Acme amplified their global outreach fivefold, booked more meetings than the previous four months combined, and eliminated manual prospecting — all while maintaining the technical accuracy their prospects expect.
