Prepared for Sage ANZ

Q1FY27 Sage ANZ
Demand-Gen Plan

Evolving a proven tele engine into a signal-led, multi-channel demand generation programme.

Objective & challenges

What we've built works.
Now it needs to reach further.

What we've done well

A scaling demand-gen engine

To date we've built a demand generation engine that consistently drives leads and opportunities into Sage's ANZ sales team — and it scales.

The limitation

Tele-only outreach

The strategy relies on tele outreach alone. As we work through all known in-ICP contacts, the total addressable market degrades — carrying the risk of diminishing returns over time.

The solution

Broaden the outreach

Activate a wider audience within the identified ICP — keeping us focused on the correct buyer, not just the contacts we already know.

What we're building & why

Adding reach around
the human conversation.

What we're building

Adding audience activation and omnichannel personalisation into the existing intelligence and tele layer — enabling 1:1, 1:few and 1:many outreach strategies.

1 : 11 : Few1 : Many

Why we're building it

  • Engage the wider decision centres — beyond the known contact list, across the whole buying group.
  • A more sustainable campaign — the addressable audience keeps growing instead of degrading.
  • Increased average deal sizes — more stakeholders engaged, earlier.
  • Accelerated sales cycle — conversations start warmer and move faster.

The Q1FY27 plan

One engine.
End to end.

The intelligence already learnt fuels every other component — which is exactly how we deliver the wider reach, bigger deals and faster cycles.

01Intelligence

Signal Engine

The intelligence already learnt from live campaigns — target accounts, the right people, the signals that matter — is the foundation everything else runs on.

021 : Many

Audience Activation

Fuelled by the Signal Engine, digital activation warms the wider decision centre inside our ICP — so we reach beyond the contacts we already know.

031 : Few · 1 : 1

Omnichannel Personalisation

Personalised engagement, shaped by what the engine has learnt, speaks directly to priority accounts and buying groups across channels.

04The human layer

Tele / SDR

Conversations land warmer and better informed. Tele converts the demand the rest of the engine has created — it no longer works in isolation.

Passive benefit: every outreach method doubles as lead nurture — keeping the wider ICP warm until they're ready to talk.

The Crowd Box campaign engine

Better campaigns start with better signals.

Every Crowd Box campaign starts with Signal Engine—building the account, audience and intelligence foundation that determines who we engage, why we engage them and how.

The intelligence foundation

Before you activate a market, understand it.

Traditional campaigns often begin with a static list. Crowd Box starts by building the intelligence foundation that informs everything that follows.

From signal to action

Signals are only valuable when you act on them.

One intelligence layer. Three coordinated activation and conversion paths. Select a path to explore its role.

Personalised outreach

Engage the account, not just the lead.

Enterprise decisions rarely sit with one person. Signal Engine maps the relevant people and context, then email and LinkedIn outreach reaches the wider buying group.

The SDR carries almost the entire burden of creating awareness, finding stakeholders and generating interest.

The SDR is no longer operating in isolation. Digital context helps create direction; conversations uncover what signals cannot.

Signal first. Then everything works together.

The engine does not run in a straight line. Activity creates new signals, human conversations create intelligence, and the campaign adapts.
