How an AI company validated demand outside Brazil with 68 meetings booked
Without a physical presence in the target countries, the program adapted language, segmentation and cadence to sell shelf-recognition technology.
Documented outcomes
01
The situation
The solution used AI and image recognition to analyze product execution on retail shelves. The company wanted to validate Colombia and the Dominican Republic before building a local presence.
The challenge combined a technical sale, different commercial cultures and a broad universe of retailers and consumer brands. Translation alone would not be enough.
02
The approach
Protagnst built a high-volume cadence with culturally adapted scripts. Segmentation separated relevant companies and contacts, while messaging connected the technology to availability, execution and shelf visibility.
Outbound served as commercial research: measure interest, open conversations and learn how each market reacted before increasing local investment.
03
The outcome
The operation approached 1,650 companies and worked 2,365 contacts. It recorded 80 presentation requests, 68 booked meetings and 48 demos and proposals.
Meetings included recognized retail and consumer-goods companies. Those names represent access and opportunities; the source does not report contracts or revenue.
Figures are presented with the context and limitations documented in the project material.
04
What this case demonstrates
Outbound can validate international expansion before a major investment in local presence. It turns assumptions about market, message and decision-maker access into commercial evidence.
