The Challenge
The senior marketing team at Dassault Systemes had identified that they could benefit from developing a social selling strategy. However, they needed a way to implement this without it becoming too time consuming and onerous for the sales teams to effectively implement and manage. Their key objective was and continues to be to widen the universe of the contacts the sales teams are engaged with, to develop awareness and drive demand for Dassault Systemes as a market leader in their industry across a wide range of verticals.
Having undertaken an extensive procurement process chose Trueleads as the only Enterprise platform on the market to enable them to achieve these objectives expediently and cost effectively.
The Solution
Trueleads provides a platform and supporting services to expediently enable and scale the social selling activity across the organisation delivering engagement and demand on a strategic level and tactical opportunities to promote event attendance and asset distribution.
Internally within Dassault Systemes Trueleads were required to deliver and promote social selling within the sales organisation of Dassault.
Externally Trueleads supported the Dassault Sales teams with identification of appropriate targeting methodologies, effective messaging and training to engage with a broad range of manufacturing organisations; ranging from automotive to electronics, in medicine, clinicians to pharmaceutical; in engineering; from Architecture to Aerospace.
Each of these diverse sectors in the context of social selling needs bespoke tailored messaging and the Trueleads team became instrumental in educating the Dassault sales teams in the importance of this personalisation at scale across sectors to deliver an effective social selling strategy.
The use of the Trueleads platform began in January 2024 and is ongoing. Regular reporting provides the opportunity to not only track success but also optimisation and ongoing coaching of users to maximise positive outcomes.
The Impact
Dassault Systemes began using the Trueleads platform in January 2024
Within 6 months the 14 members of the Dassault sales team managed to generate:
- 3749 New Connections on LinkedIn with appropriate personas
- To date this has resulted in 223 BANT qualified leads with an average order value of £50,000
- Total potential pipeline generated by the activity is: £11,150,000

Plus, each team member has achieved a social selling index over 100 with some team members achieving in excess of 400, which places the overall team in the top 2% for Dassault’s industry.
