Manufacturing - Machining

SALT Marketing is a trusted growth partner for machine shops all over the world. Our Machining clients typically maintain over $20 million in annual sales, but revenue alone isn’t the qualifier for SALT services. As a company, SALT is seeking out clients with Operational Maturity - when we get you to RFQ, we need you to win.

For machine shops, SALT prospects larger accounts including OEMs and T1s. This means complex projects with longer sales cycles. We’re frequently hunting targets with repeatability within projects and over $100,000 in annual revenue potential. As a dedicated hunting team, SALT strives for big wins in order to bring ROI to our machine shop customers.

“I just want to thank you two and your company for your hard work in bringing us leads. It truly has given our team hope and inspiration for this new year. Seeing all those leads in our inbox gives more than business opportunities – it makes us work smarter and drive harder to our success.”

FAQ

Don’t focus on the individual project, we care about the overall account. SALT seeks to convert accounts with over $100,000 in annual revenue potential, but we rarely see this in the first order. Our clients typically win projects over time that grow in scope as the end customer finds your work trustworthy.
Yes, SALT subscribes to industry leading data sources and has an internal database of 6 million contacts. We build our target lists based on industry, geography, size, and other factors determined in onboarding.
As the client, you hire SALT for time, talent and process. We work on your behalf using your brand name to gain entry to new customers. While we track and have access to the data through the engagement, you own everything we gather.
As we dig deeper into internal sales teams we often find they are fairly technical staff - sometimes former engineers. These teams frequently work within the existing book of business and lack the personality and process for prospecting. SALT would argue that we have the time and process to serve as the dedicated hunting team. You benefit from the specialization of tasks by keeping your technical sales staff focused on higher value activities.
