Here's what Meridian Packaging should do to generate more qualified meetings every month.
Lead generation
Start by focusing on your best current customers: mid-market manufacturers, distribution centers, and large retailers—especially those who buy in volume and value streamlined supply chain processes. Leadsforge can help you build prospect lists that look just like your best buyers or your ideal customer profiles.
Here is why: By targeting 'lookalikes' of companies where you're already seeing strong traction, you maximize the likelihood of quick wins and a smoother sales process. Leadsforge makes it simple to search based on employee counts, geographies, and relevant industries.
One great way to find new targets is to build a list of followers from your competitors’ LinkedIn pages. You just need to provide the competitor company name or their LinkedIn page link, and Leadsforge will find the most relevant followers for you.
Share their LinkedIn company page link in Leadsforge and it will find it for you.
For your outbound, focus on buyers who oversee procurement, supply chain, or operations at manufacturing, distribution, retail/CPG, food & beverage, automotive and logistics companies—ideally those with over 100 employees and multi-site operations, especially in your key geographic markets like LA, Dallas, Atlanta, and others listed on your site.
Here is why: This group manages large spend, multiple warehouses, and is responsible for cost efficiency—making them highly receptive to offers like guaranteed spend reduction or a free pallet spend analysis. Use Leadsforge’s filters for team size, seniority, location, and industry to narrow your outreach for better results.
Targeting
Divide your outreach into a few clear segments for tailored messaging:
1) Distribution centers & 3PLs in high-volume cities (emphasize speed and logistics savings)
2) Manufacturing facilities in core verticals—automotive, CPG, chemicals (highlight durability and specialized pallet needs)
3) Retailers/CPG procurement teams (showcase cost reductions and consolidated supplier management)
The best outbound approaches highlight your expertise by industry. For Meridian, this means running targeted sequences to:
1) Automotive manufacturing
2) Food & beverage distribution
3) Logistics/3PL operators
4) National CPG or retail companies
Here is why: Buyers relate better when you reference examples and solutions from their own industry. Use real case studies where possible.
Smart timing increases your reply rates. Strong triggers for your outreach include:
1) News of new facility openings or site expansions
2) Recently posted procurement/operations roles
3) Public announcements about vendor changes
4) Peak shipping seasons (holidays, etc.)
5) Supply chain disruption news (shortages, rate hikes)
6) Competitor customer wins (supplier change)
Here is why: Reaching out right after a trigger means your solution is top-of-mind and more likely to be prioritized.
