The challenge: Manual prospecting was killing sales productivity

The expansion team at a B2B restaurant booking platform faced a critical bottleneck in their growth strategy:

"Our sales team was exhausting themselves with endless manual searches, wasting precious time identifying restaurants, cafés, and bars in each city,"
Lucas, Expansion Manager.

Their team faced these daily struggles:

• Sales representatives spent more time researching leads than selling
• Evenings wasted sorting through Excel files to distribute leads
• Every day lost to inefficient prospecting meant market share going to competitors
• Their innovative app was ready, but their lead generation process was holding them back

The solution: Finding leads using Ritchy

The team needed to completely transform their approach to market penetration. They used Ritchy to:

1. Automate lead discovery: Use Google Maps scraping to instantly identify target businesses by sector and geographic area
2. Centralize lead management: Access contact details and social media profiles directly in one platform
3. Qualify leads automatically: Filter and prioritize prospects based on specific criteria
4. Maintain data accuracy: Keep business information current with automated updates
5. Integrate with existing systems: Synchronize data seamlessly with their CRM

Measurable results

The transformation delivered immediate and significant results:

"Before, it was just numbers on the monthly reporting; now it has become our most indispensable tool for prospecting, understanding our market, our presence, and our potential! We not only saved time, but we gained market share!"
Lucas, Expansion Manager

Why this matters for B2B software companies

In today's competitive B2B software landscape, the ability to quickly identify and engage qualified leads is a critical differentiator. With most competitors still relying on outdated prospecting methods, companies that leverage Google Maps scraping gain several advantages:

1. First-mover advantage in untapped geographic markets
2. Higher-quality conversations with precisely targeted prospects
3. Reduced manpower requirements for lead generation activities
4. More accurate market mapping for strategic planning

• Accelerate market expansion 3x faster than previous methods
• Reduce operational costs while improving sales effectiveness
