What we do · Find me customers

A short, exclusive list of the customers worth winning. And what you need to win them.

We take every commercial property in your target market and filter hard, at the property, the business and the people level, until what is left is a small, exclusive, ranked batch of accounts: each one carrying the opportunity, the business and the decision-maker. Your team does the hunting. We do the rest.

The problem

Three links in the chain. Miss one, and it breaks.

Personal networks run dry. When you have to win new customers in a new market, account-based selling is the most effective way to sell high-value B2B. But it only works when three links are all present.

Most teams have link 1 and are missing 2 and 3. That is exactly the gap we fill: the data, and most of the process.

How it works

Who are your customers. Get the customer data. Run the sales.

Four stages, one engine. Start with the short version, then open the full machinery. The colour code shows who does what at every step.

The jargon, decoded. ICP: ideal customer profile, the definition of who even qualifies. · CLV: customer lifetime value, what a customer is worth over the relationship (more on the Gmaven blog). · TOFU / MOFU / BOFU: top, middle and bottom of the funnel: the first touch, the warming, and the ask. · Aircover / ground war: the indirect marketing that warms the market, and the direct approaches your team makes.
Why it works

Complete first. Then precise.

Complete means all: nearly all high-value South African businesses operate from commercial property, so if a business operates from commercial property, we can find it. Precise means aimed: from that complete universe, we filter down to the high-value, high-probability customers only.

Completeness

The universe is every commercial property in your market, so there are no blind spots and nothing is missed.
Every high-value business that operates from commercial property is in it, whether or not it appears on any marketing list.

Precision

We filter at each beat, property then business then people, before spending on the next step.
Non-starters are cut before they cost you anything, and before your team ever sees them.
Many
candidates found
Many candidates in, a few qualified, exclusive leads out
A few
qualified, exclusive leads
The dashed lines are filters: most candidates are removed there, before they cost you anything.

No other vendor gives you both at once: a complete universe, and a short list. Every lead is built from the ground up, never bought and never recycled. Our value is in the leads we do not give you.

The maths

Why a small list beats a big one.

A team spamming a 5,000-name list to win 100 deals is doing it the expensive, risky way. A focused team working a few hundred geo-precise, qualified leads closes the same 100: faster, cheaper, and with far less burn on the people doing the work.

In high-value B2B, more leads can be as bad as no leads. Every non-starter on the list consumes research, calls and meetings from your most expensive people, and crowds out the deals they should be working instead.

So the real question is not the cost of a qualified lead. It is the cost of an unqualified one.

The cost of one unqualified lead
R450 to R750an hour: what a senior B2B hunter costs your business, fully loaded (R900k to R1.5m a year).
× 3 to 6 hoursof that hunter's time burned per non-starter: the research, the calls and the wasted meeting before it is disqualified.
= R1,400 to R4,500of sales pay spent on one lead that was never going to close.
3 to 6 hours backper non-starter we remove. The rand saving is real, but the hours are the prize: they go into the deals that can close.
Illustrative ranges, not a quote. In the proof of concept we rebuild this on your team's actual cost and hit-rate.

Pay in rands. Get back hours. Close more deals in those hours.

Who does what

We set you up. You're free to hunt and close.

Four kinds of work. The colours show who does each.
Gmaven Gmaven + you You
Gmaven, alone

The data, the collateral, the studies

We source the prospect universe and its signals, run the automated per-account collateral, and produce the boardroom-grade studies.

Gmaven + you

The strategy

Together we formalise your ICPs, your customer lifetime value model and your propensity scoring, and design the one-click collateral. This thinking sets every filter.

Automated, Gmaven as input

The aircover

Our data feeds precise social-media audiences and the call to action, so your marketing reaches the right accounts, not everyone.

You, alone

The hunting

The selling and the closing. Not ours to take, and not ours to scale. Your team, your relationships, your deals.

A modern, data-driven approach, blended with age-old selling. The data, the collateral (your per-account brochures and presentations) and the aircover feed are automated, so they scale. The strategy and the studies are built with you: that is where the thinking lives. And the skilled human part, the hunting, stays yours.

Compliance

POPIA is a feature, not a bug.

POPIA, the Protection of Personal Information Act, ended spray-and-pray marketing. It rewards skill: data-driven precision, aimed at high-value deals. We design the sales motion so compliance is built in, through two compliance gates the Act sets.
Compliance gate 1 · The outreach

How you make contact

Under section 69 of POPIA, unsolicited electronic direct marketing needs consent. So the motion leans on what is permitted without it: LinkedIn, a call via reception or switchboard, contact details in the public domain or given to you directly, and a physical visit or drop. The outreach design is the compliance design.

Compliance gate 2 · The data

How the data is collected

We process data on juristic entities from public records, such as the Deeds Office, CIPC and the Surveyor General, and from public business sources: lawful on the legitimate-interest ground in section 11 of POPIA, respecting the minimality and purpose rules in sections 10 and 13.

This describes how we build. It is not legal advice: confirm your own outreach design with your counsel.

One engine, many doorways

Your market changes the wedge, not the machine.

The same engine powers every vertical we serve. Pick your doorway.

Start small. Prove it. Then scale.

A proof of concept first: low cost, learning oriented, with a clean go or no-go. Your leads are exclusive to you for a defined, extendable period, and never resold.
