But let us go back to the start of our collaboration, five months ago, to see how it all began. How did we get in touch with Ga. Ma? Through social selling on LinkedIn, of course. It is one of our core services, one we are the first to use ourselves and which we recommended to the client precisely because we know how effective and versatile it is.

The strategy we devised for them also included a preliminary phase of research to identify the target, and managing LinkedIn communication for both the company page and the personal profile of the Managing Director, Leonardo Facchini. 

We proposed to the client a strategy designed to reach people at a number of target companies on a wish list they gave us, and one that would work just as well with prospects at similar companies we identified ourselves.

It is fair to say the strategy has proved “watertight”.

Next steps

Work in progress! 

Our work with Ga. Ma continues: we are currently looking for new prospects within companies already shortlisted, so that we reach the right person and get the client a seat at the table. And where in the world are we now? In Australia and Asia, where we moved the search just recently.

While we wait for new opportunities to emerge, here is Leonardo’s feedback:

We are certainly very pleased with our collaboration with Mallei: they are competent, professional, responsive and careful in managing our presence on LinkedIn, with a clear impact on our brand and on our ability to add new contacts, potential customers and partners. Their availability and proactive approach make the difference and keep us on track with the goals we set ourselves, which we have adjusted along the way as new needs arose.
