Goals
- Systematically increase revenue growth through existing customers
- Identify purchase intentions early on
- Build stronger, lasting customer relationships
- Scaling growth without losing the personal touch in communication
challenges
- Traditional sales pitches do not align with the values of an impact-driven company
- Trust and open communication are essential
- Strong growth despite limited human resources
- Lack of transparency regarding actual purchasing intent within the customer base
- Many one-time buyers
Especially in the impact sector, one thing is clear: growth must not come at the expense of credibility or relationships.
Solution & Implementation
In collaboration with Mainition, Includo implemented an AI-based customer retention strategy designed specifically to foster dialogue-oriented, respectful communication.
Mainition took over:
- personalized communication with existing customers via email
- the automatic analysis and categorization of incoming responses
- the identification of specific prospective buyers
In this process, the AI did not function as a traditional sales tool, but rather as an intelligent filter: it identified interest, organized feedback, and passed only qualified leads on to the Includo team. This ensured that communication remained authentic and on an equal footing.
Results & Impact
- Significant reduction in the team's workload through automated pre-qualification
- A sustainable, credible approach to customers without wasted reach
- A Scalable Process for Existing Customer Development
Includo was able to strategically expand existing customer relationships and make growth more predictable—without adding pressure on the sales team and without compromising its core values.
Conclusion
This success story demonstrates how social impact and economic growth can go hand in hand. With Mainition, Includo was able to sustainably increase revenue from existing customers, build trust, and scale growth intelligently.
Meaningful messages for sustainable business.
