Customer Acquisition Campaign



Overview
The client approached SGL to increase customer acquisition in competitive retail environments where digital advertising alone was no longer delivering consistent results.
Their goal was to acquire new gas and electricity customers at a lower cost per acquisition while maintaining high compliance and customer satisfaction standards.
SGL deployed trained field sales teams across shopping centres and retail parks, focusing on high-footfall locations and structured customer engagement.
Our Process
We designed a customer acquisition strategy built around face-to-face engagement:
Placed trained brand ambassadors in high-footfall retail locations.
Implemented a structured sales script and customer qualification process.
Tracked performance daily across locations and representatives.
Provided ongoing coaching and performance improvement training.
Supplied real-time reporting dashboards to monitor results.
This approach ensured consistent performance, clear data tracking, and scalable customer acquisition.
Results
Within six months, the campaign delivered significant growth in customer acquisition and improved cost efficiency per sign-up.
