Context

Aviloo is an Austrian technology company that developed AVILOO Battery Test — the world's first independent, TÜV-certified battery diagnostics system for electric vehicles. Their technology gives car dealers, fleet managers, OEMs, and insurance companies an objective health score for EV batteries, solving one of the biggest trust gaps in the used EV market.

The challenge was reach. Aviloo's buyers — car dealer principals, fleet managers, corporate automotive leaders — are spread across fragmented markets worldwide. Reaching tens of thousands of potential buyers across 25+ countries, in 8+ languages, without compromising deliverability or personalization, required a fundamentally different approach to outbound.

The Scale of the Challenge

This wasn't a single-market campaign. Aviloo needed parallel outbound operations across dozens of countries — each with its own language, cultural norms, and buyer expectations. Here's what the system had to support from the start:

DACH

Germany, Austria, Switzerland

Western Europe

UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, France

Southern Europe

Italy, Spain, Portugal

Nordics & More

Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and beyond

North America

United States, Canada

Each market required native-quality copy — German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Flemish, and English. Not translations, but localized messaging that felt authentic to each audience. And each of Aviloo's 10+ SDRs needed their own dedicated sending infrastructure: separate domains, separate inboxes, separate warmup cycles.

3

Building the Multi-Market Machine

We architected Aviloo's outbound system as a scalable framework — not a collection of one-off campaigns. Every component was designed to be replicated across new markets without starting from scratch.

Infrastructure

200+ email accounts across 10+ SDRs

Each SDR received dedicated domains and inboxes, all warming simultaneously. Deliverability monitoring enforced a 98%+ warmup threshold per inbox — any inbox that dipped was paused immediately.

Lead Sourcing

125,000+ prospects across 25+ markets

Car dealers, fleet managers, and automotive businesses sourced through Apollo, enriched through Clay, and verified against Aviloo's Salesforce CRM to exclude existing customers.

Localization

8+ languages, native-quality copy

Every campaign was written in the target market's language with culturally relevant messaging. German campaigns referenced TÜV certification (high-trust signal). Italian campaigns timed to Autopromotec.

Integration

Salesforce + MasterInbox + AI routing

MasterInbox centralized replies across all SDR accounts into one dashboard. AI categorization flagged positive replies instantly. Qualified leads pushed to Salesforce for seamless handoff to Aviloo's sales team.

How the Results Compounded

The first campaigns launched in spring 2025 targeting core European markets. From there, the system expanded month by month — each new market building on the infrastructure and learnings from the last.

Month 1–2

Core European markets live

Campaigns launched in Germany, UK, Ireland, and Netherlands. First positive replies from car dealers requesting demos and pricing.

Month 3–4

Multi-language expansion

French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese campaigns go live. New SDRs onboarded with dedicated infrastructure. Event campaigns for NADA and Used Car Week drive booth traffic.

Month 5–7

Full-scale operations

25+ markets active. 100 campaigns running across all SDRs. 16 positive replies in just 2 days — the system was compounding.

Month 8–10

Record-breaking momentum

10 confirmed positive replies in a single day — a new record. Event campaigns for Autopromotec (Italy) and Fleet Europe drive targeted meeting bookings.

Month 11–12

Advanced tooling deployed

AI reply handling agent, VIN-based targeting for hyper-specific outreach, and automated LinkedIn monitoring for fresh signals. Confirmed closed deals flowing from cold email.

Event-Driven Campaigns

One of the unique aspects of Aviloo's outbound system was event integration. The automotive industry revolves around major trade shows, and we built campaigns that turned these into outbound multipliers.

NADA Show

US

Pre-event outreach to attendees

Used Car Week

US

Targeted dealer outreach

Digital Dealer

US

Conference-timed sequences

Autopromotec

Italy

Italian-language campaigns

Fleet Europe

Europe

Fleet manager targeting

Each event campaign followed a specific playbook: scrape attendee and exhibitor lists, enrich contacts, send pre-event sequences that referenced the conference by name, and offer booth meetings or post-event follow-ups. These time-sensitive campaigns consistently outperformed always-on sequences.

The Copy That Worked

Across 100 campaigns and 8+ languages, certain patterns emerged. The most effective messaging combined Aviloo's unique credibility signals with market-specific pain points.

What Worked Across Markets

TÜV certification as trust signal — especially powerful in DACH markets where TÜV carries institutional weight.

The “garage story” angle — Aviloo was literally invented in a garage. Johannes, the founder, loved this storytelling approach: “The story telling angle (it was invented in a garage for a reason) is really good!”

Pain-led messaging — framing EV battery uncertainty as lost revenue for dealers, not a technical problem.

Event references — mentioning upcoming conferences created urgency and relevance that generic outreach couldn't match.

The key lesson: localization isn't just translation. German dealers respond to certification and engineering precision. Italian dealers respond to relationship-building and event connections. The copy engine adapted to each market's buying psychology.

The Orchestration Stack

Managing outbound across 25+ markets, 10+ SDRs, and 200+ email accounts requires serious orchestration. Here's the system we built and manage for Aviloo:

SmartLead

Sending & inbox rotation across 200+ accounts

Clay

Lead enrichment & multi-market data processing

Apollo

Lead sourcing across global markets

MasterInbox

Centralized reply management across SDRs

Salesforce

CRM integration & pipeline tracking

Trigify

LinkedIn engagement monitoring

Custom AI

Reply categorization & VIN-based targeting

Event Databases

Attendee scraping for conference campaigns

Claygent

AI-powered lead qualification

This is system orchestration at its most ambitious: every tool purpose-built or configured for Aviloo's specific needs, all wired together into one cohesive operation that runs across time zones, languages, and markets.

Lessons Learned

1

Multi-market outbound requires parallel infrastructure, not sequential rollout. Each SDR needs dedicated domains and inboxes from day one.

2

Copy that works in German won’t work in French. Every market needs native-quality localization — not just translation.

3

Event-timed campaigns dramatically outperform always-on sequences when your buyers attend industry conferences.

4

Centralized reply management (MasterInbox) is essential when 10+ SDRs are sending from 200+ accounts. Without it, leads fall through the cracks.

5

The compound effect is real: 12 months of accumulated data, optimized copy, and refined targeting makes every new campaign better than the last.

This case study proves that cold email scales globally — when the system behind it is built for multi-market complexity from day one.

25+ countries. 8+ languages. 10+ SDRs. One system. 12 months and compounding.
