Target Persona

ECA International provides data and software that help HR teams set salaries, cost-of-living adjustments, relocation allowances and benefits for employees who relocate or work abroad. ECA ran a trial with Whistle, alongside a separate agency trial, to assess outbound performance before deciding on a longer-term partnership. Whistle deployed 2 SDRs focused on ECA’s data products.

Challenges Faced

  • Covering EMEA and Australia/NZ without overstretching individual reps
  • Reaching HR teams with a technical product: a data suite covering an online portal, a price-comparison methodology and cross-border salary topping-up logic
  • Keeping outreach lists free of existing clients and specific competitors

‍

Our Solution

  • Deployed 2 SDRs focused strictly on ECA’s data products
  • Targeted EMEA first, with secondary testing in Australia/New Zealand
  • Used Whistle's global SDR coverage where appropriate to support geographic reach

‍

Results Achieved

  • 13 meetings booked
  • Engagement extended to post-event outreach for the Vienna and Chicago events
  • Competitor outreach planned from November targeting customers of Mercer and AirInc., with call script, email and LinkedIn messaging to go to ECA for review before launch

‍

Future Outlook

ECA and Whistle will continue booking meetings from the data lists, with Whistle supporting post-event outreach for the Vienna and Chicago events. From November, Whistle will also target customers of Mercer and AirInc., with messaging centered on ECA’s data transparency, service experience, customer support and transition programme to ease concerns about switching provider.

Key Learning

Parallel trials set a clear benchmark

ECA assigned different product lines to Whistle and another agency over a 3-month trial, giving it a direct basis for comparison before committing long term.

Clean targeting starts at onboarding

Excluding existing clients and specific competitors from lists up front kept outreach aligned to ECA’s ICP.

Geographic focus protects SDR capacity

Starting with EMEA and testing Australia/NZ as a secondary market avoided stretching single reps, with off-hours/South African coverage used where appropriate.
