Oliver Wight is a global authority in Integrated Business Planning, serving organizations such as Walmart, Amazon, Bayer, and Pfizer. Their challenge was not awareness, but access. Their buyer personas CEOs, CFOs, and Supply Chain Directors are among the most guarded decision makers in the world.

Traditional marketing and manual networking generated limited results at the executive level, with long outreach cycles and low response rates for high value diagnostic conversations.

The Challenge: Executive Access at Global Scale

Before automation, Oliver Wight faced several structural limitations.

Executive outreach relied on manual LinkedIn activity and relationship based follow ups.

Initial responses often took several days, and many connections required multiple touchpoints before any diagnostic conversation could be scheduled.

Lead qualification happened after human interaction, consuming senior consultant time.

The Followfy Agentic Prospecting Infrastructure

Followfy designed an autonomous prospecting system focused on executive level precision rather than volume.

The objective was to ensure consistent C-Suite engagement, structured qualification, and faster progression to diagnostic appointments without increasing consultant workload.

Autonomous B2B Prospecting Agent

An autonomous LinkedIn prospecting agent was deployed to identify and engage Supply Chain, Finance, and Operations executives.

The agent operated continuously, sending controlled connection requests aligned with Oliver Wight’s authority positioning.

On average, executive connection acceptance rates stabilized between 28% and 35%, consistent with senior level LinkedIn engagement benchmarks.

New qualified executive connections were generated daily without manual intervention.

Unified CRM Integration and Executive Nurturing

Once a connection was accepted, prospects were automatically routed into the Followfy CRM.

Behavioral email sequences delivered IBP focused insights aligned with S&OP maturity challenges.

Approximately 40% to 45% of connected executives engaged with at least one diagnostic or insight asset during the first two weeks.

Prospects completed an Express Diagnostic that autonomously captured supply chain maturity indicators before any human conversation.

Stealth Lead Capture and WhatsApp Engagement

The Express Diagnostic was used as a high intent filter to capture direct communication channels.

When WhatsApp contact information was provided, a dedicated agent initiated follow up within minutes to the same business day, instead of days.

Executives who transitioned from LinkedIn to WhatsApp showed a materially higher response rate compared to email only follow ups, accelerating the scheduling of diagnostic appointments.

Operational Impact

After deployment, Oliver Wight observed clear operational improvements.

Time from initial LinkedIn connection to first diagnostic conversation was reduced from multiple weeks to approximately 7 to 10 days.

Senior consultants reduced time spent on manual prospecting and follow up by 8 to 12 hours per week.

All prospects entering diagnostic conversations were pre profiled, eliminating unqualified executive meetings.

Global outreach operated continuously across regions and time zones without additional headcount.

For a firm that defined Integrated Business Planning, Followfy delivered a prospecting system governed by the same principles of structure, discipline, and execution.

Oliver Wight transitioned from manual executive networking to an agentic enterprise where the system consistently identifies, qualifies, and engages global supply chain leaders autonomously.
