US sales development

You can't build a US pipeline from your desk between 4 and 6 pm.

You've got a product US buyers want and no one on the ground to sell it. We become your outsourced US sales development team, running your US email and LinkedIn outreach and booking the first meetings.

Email and LinkedIn only, never a cold call.

The problem

Your product is ready. The US market is waiting. The follow-up never happens.

You built a product that sells in Europe. You've seen the US interest, maybe at a show, maybe an inbound email or two. So you try to work it yourself, in the margins of a full day, from six time zones away.

By the time a US prospect opens your email at 9 am their time, it's late afternoon in Stuttgart and you're closing your laptop. Their reply lands while you sleep. You answer 18 hours later. Do that three times and the thread is dead. The prospect was interested. Your follow-up was always a day behind.

You have no US team and no US brand anyone recognizes. Hiring a rep is a $120,000 bet you can't place until the pipeline exists, and that pipeline won't build itself. That's the trap.

We've run this exact motion for European industrial companies entering the US.

Market research, US positioning, and direct outreach by email and LinkedIn, all under the client's brand, feeding meetings the client and Inmotion held together. It's the same machine we point at our own US pipeline.

How it works

One machine that runs your US outreach while you sleep.

Your outsourced US sales development team, booking first meetings on retainer.

An SDR, a sales development rep, is the person who finds the right accounts, starts the conversations, and books the meetings so the closer can close. Most US companies run whole teams of them. You have you.

We become that team for you, running on an engine tuned to your product, your voice, and your ideal customer, so the output reads like it came from inside your company. As far as the prospect can tell, it did.

Inside the sequence

Every prospect runs the same 8-touch sequence, on email and LinkedIn only.

No cold calls. The first time anyone at Inmotion speaks to your prospect out loud is the 1:1 meeting, and you're on it too.

  1. mail
    Day 0 Email

    Email #1, a short relevant opener tied to their account, from your warmed domain.

  2. groups
    Day 2 LinkedIn

    A connection request from your team's profile, usually the founder.

  3. mail
    Day 4 Email

    Email #2, a product-specific proof point for their use case.

  4. groups
    Day 7 LinkedIn

    A short message once the connection is accepted.

  5. mail
    Day 10 Email

    Email #3, a case snippet plus a booking link.

  6. groups
    Day 14 LinkedIn

    A light touch on their recent activity, no pitch.

  7. mail
    Day 18 Email

    Email #4, a different angle on the value.

  8. mail
    Day 24 Email

    Email #5, a clear breakup that often gets the reply.

When a prospect says yes, they book straight into your calendar and we host the 1:1 with you. When they're interested but not ready, they move into the nurture pool, the pipeline that Demand & Nurture is built to work.

Success story

How STOBA landed the biggest order in its history from a cold US market.

trending_down
The setback

STOBA, a special-machinery producer in Memmingen, made parts the US automotive industry needed. But it had no US presence, no US customers, and no way to reach thousands of buyers across an ocean from a factory in southern Germany. Exhibiting at IMTS Chicago put the product in front of a crowd, and then the crowd went home.

rocket_launch
What we built

Inmotion ran the full motion. Market research and a go-to-market strategy for the US automotive sector, then direct lead generation through LinkedIn campaigns, email, and telesales, all pointed at the accounts that mattered. We identified around 3,000 potential US automotive customers and worked them down to a qualified few, all under STOBA's brand.

“The Inmotion team led by Robert Lang managed marketing and new customer acquisition, and we were very satisfied with the results!”

Demand & Nurture

verified

You approve everything before it goes out. You see the full pipeline every week, not a report at the end of the quarter. The 3-month minimum on Core is there because cold outreach needs a warmed domain and a few sequence cycles to show what it's worth, and one month can't do that. We don't dress this up with a money-back promise. The commitment is your sign-off on every send, plus a live dashboard you can read any day of the week.

Common questions

Questions European founders ask first.

chevron_right Whose name is the outreach under?

Yours. Emails come from a dedicated sending domain on your brand, and LinkedIn messages go from your team's own profiles, with the founder as the default sender. Inmotion becomes visible at the first meeting, not before. To the prospect it's your company reaching out, because it is.

chevron_right Do you cold-call our prospects?

No. We run email and LinkedIn only. The first time a prospect hears a voice is the 1:1 online meeting, which you and Inmotion host together. Nobody dials your brand into the ground.

chevron_right How fast until we're getting meetings?

Outreach goes live in week 5, once the 4-week setup sprint has warmed your domain and built your lists. First replies and conversations come in during month 1, and meetings start flowing through month 2 as the sequences mature.

chevron_right What's the difference between the two tiers, and when do I need webinars?

Outbound Core books meetings from cold outreach. Demand & Nurture adds webinars, nurture sequences, and lead magnets to work the “interested, not now” pool that Core builds. Most clients start on Core and add Demand & Nurture around month 3, once there's a pool worth nurturing.

chevron_right What if we decide we want channel partners instead?

Then we point the same machine at partners. Some clients prove US demand with direct sales, then graduate to our Channel Partner Search to build a distributor network. Others sell direct for the long haul. You pick the route, and you can switch.

chevron_right What happens once you've contacted our whole US market?

Most niche US markets are finite, a few hundred to a couple thousand real buyers, and we size yours in the sprint so we both know the ceiling going in. We work the named accounts, then keep producing four ways. We nurture the “interested, not now” majority until their timing turns. We re-touch accounts on new triggers, a fresh case study, a new product, a change on their side. We widen the ICP into adjacent segments, regions, and buyer roles. And once direct demand is proven, US channel partners can extend your reach into the long tail. Direct outreach is front-loaded by design, and the retainer's long-term value is the cultivation that keeps a finite market producing.

chevron_right Do we need a US entity to do this?

No. You can run direct US outreach and book meetings without a US company. Plenty of clients start selling into the US long before they set one up. When you do need an entity, that's a conversation for your accountant, and it's never a blocker for building pipeline.

chevron_right What do you need from us each week?

About 3 to 4 hours. You approve the reply drafts we send you, batch-send the queued LinkedIn messages from your profile (roughly 15 minutes a day), and, on Demand & Nurture, present the webinar. We do the research, the writing, and the scheduling.

chevron_right How is this different from hiring a US sales rep?

A US rep runs roughly $120,000 a year once you add loaded cost, plus months of hiring and ramp before you know the market is worth it. We give you that same function (research, outreach, booked meetings) on a monthly retainer, live in weeks, at a fraction of the cost. If it isn't working you stop at the 3-month mark instead of managing someone out, and many clients run us first, then hand the warm machine to the rep they eventually hire.

chevron_right What happens to the pipeline if we stop?

It's yours. The domain, the lists, the sequences, the landing page, and every contact and conversation live in your systems. Stop the retainer and you keep the machine. Hand it to your first US hire and they inherit a warm pipeline instead of a blank CRM.
