How a mid-market financial services firm achieved 220% lead growth and 60% conversion rates through relationship-focused lead generation in a highly regulated industry.
A well-established financial services firm specializing in wealth management and corporate advisory services needed to expand their client base while navigating strict regulatory requirements and the relationship-dependent nature of their industry.
Traditional lead generation methods were ineffective due to compliance constraints and the high-trust nature of financial services. The firm required a sophisticated approach that prioritized relationship building and regulatory compliance.
Through Baviyo's customized relationship intelligence approach, the firm achieved remarkable results: 220% increase in qualified leads, 60% conversion rate, and 290% ROI while maintaining 100% regulatory compliance.
Financial services firms face unique obstacles that require specialized approaches to lead generation and client acquisition.
Financial services regulations require careful compliance in all marketing and sales activities, limiting traditional outreach methods and requiring extensive documentation.
Financial decisions involve significant risk and require deep trust between advisor and client, making cold outreach largely ineffective in this industry.
Complex financial products and services require extensive evaluation periods, often involving multiple stakeholders and lengthy due diligence processes.
Each client relationship represents significant value but requires substantial time investment, making efficiency and conversion optimization critical.
