OVERVIEW

Tax Systems is a leading provider of tax compliance software across the UK, Ireland and Europe. They’re backed by Bowmark Capital and their flagship product Alphatax is the UK and Ireland’s number one enterprise corporation tax compliance software – trusted by over 40% of the FTSE 100 and 80% of the top advisory firms..

In late 2023, Tax Systems broadened their product portfolio and expanded their international reach by acquiring TaxModel – a Netherlands-based software company specialising in solutions for international tax compliance.

THE CHALLENGE

With their acquisition of TaxModel, Tax Systems needed to demonstrate that they could efficiently generate sales pipeline and sell their recently acquired suite of international tax software products to multinationals across the UK and Ireland. They identified the need for an outbound sales development team to take these new products to market. However, they did not have an internal SDR team, or the internal bandwidth to quickly build one in-house.

PARTNERING WITH DELTA-V

Tax Systems selected Delta-v to provide them with a team of 3 outsourced SDRs due to Deltav’s experience selling complex financial technology to large enterprises. The aim was to create sales pipeline with multi-nationals in the UK and Ireland for Tax Systems’ new Transfer Pricing, Tax Provisioning and Pillar Two software.

In the onboarding & campaign setup project, Delta-v collaborated closely with Tax Systems to set up their dedicated SDR team. This included optimising Tax Systems’ internal Salesloft environment; generating target account lists, working closely with their product marketing team to craft a tailored campaign playbook and messaging strategy; and assigning and training the three Delta-v SDRs on the highly complex domain of international tax compliance.

After completing the onboarding process, Tax Systems’ SDR team from Delta-v launched the outbound campaign. The team utilised targeted, account-based outreach, reaching out to the key personas in each target organisation using a combination of phone, LinkedIn and email.

RESULTS

Over the initial 6-month campaign period, which included a 3-month ramp up, the SDR team exceeded their targets by generating 95 qualified meetings – surpassing the agreed benchmark of 90.

Off the back of this success, Tax Systems chose to extend the role of their Delta-v SDRs to focus not only on new prospects, but also generating pipeline for expansion sales within their existing customer base. Furthermore, their subsidiary TaxModel decided to add an additional Delta-v SDR for their own outbound campaigns into continental Europe, the USA and the Middle East.
