Strategy Spotlight: Executive-Led Alumni Outreach
Why This Works
Your C-level and VP-level leaders carry strong personal brand equity. Alumni where they studied mapped to your firms top accounts helps powerful connections. Top executives are 10x more likely to respond when outreach comes directly from a known leader from their Alma matter rather than a generic marketing message.
That’s why LakeB2B enables a “White-Glove Alumni Activation” strategy where outreach is crafted and delivered on behalf of your leadership team.
Step-by-Step: Executive Mapping and Outreach
Identify Your Internal Champions
We work with you to:
- Map all key C-level, VP-level, and Director-level leaders in your company.
- Understand their universities/college networks
Example:
Your VP of Product once studied in Stanford
Build Personalized Alumni Lists for Each Leader
We create micro-segments like:
- “Alumni target lists based on university or college you studied”
- “Former marketing graduates under your CMO now in various roles in new orgs.”
- “Clients your COO personally worked with in a university class, now moved to various companies.”
This isn’t just outreach—this is relationship revival with ROI built in.
Craft Personalized Outreach—From the Leader’s Voice
LakeB2B’s creative team writes every message:
- In the tone of the executive.
- With references only they could make (“Fondly remember walking the halls in McMurtry and Windhover at Stanford —let’s reconnect.”).
- With call-to-actions that reflect a leadership tone: invite for a conversation, event, or collaboration.
Example Email Snippet:
“Hi Anjali,
It’s been a few years since graduating from Stanford. I’ve been following your journey at [Company] and thought of you for a partnership we’re exploring at LakeB2B.
Let’s catch up?” — [Signed: CTO, LakeB2B]
Launch via Omnichannel + Track Every Touchpoint
Outreach is deployed across:
- Direct email (from exec’s address alias)
- LinkedIn InMails or DMs
- Event invites (exclusive CxO roundtables)
- Handwritten postcards or gifts (for top alumni)
And every action is tracked—opens, replies, meetings set, deals influenced.
Attribute Engagement to Each Leader
Outreach is deployed across:
- Top-performing exec-alumni pairings
- Opportunities opened per leader
- Referrals and pipeline influenced
This helps leadership see tangible ROI on their influence—and encourages deeper buy-in.
Real-World Example: The 30x Pipeline Boost
A B2B SaaS firm using LakeB2B mapped 9 VP-level and C-level leaders. Within 3 months:
- 20000+ personalized alumni messages sent
- 141 meetings booked directly from alumni
- $1.2M pipeline attributed to 1:1 executive-led outreach
Cost? <$15k
Return? 30x in pipeline
Trust Level? Through the roof
Strategic Takeaway
“People don’t buy from companies. They buy from people they trust.”
That trust is already built. LakeB2B simply reactivates it at scale.
