Private implementation overview · prepared for Liard Industries

Build a targeted outbound system for Liard Industries.

A focused cold email and LinkedIn DM model to put Liard's machining, certified welding, and turnkey industrial equipment capabilities in front of the right buyers.

Liard already has the proof: 40 years of experience, a 40,000 square foot facility, 5-axis machining, certified welding, and turnkey project execution. The next opportunity is building a repeatable way to reach more OEMs, industrial equipment builders, and maintenance-heavy manufacturers that need those capabilities.

// Built for qualified conversations, not mass outreach.

01 Fit

Why Liard is a strong fit for outbound.

Liard solves problems that industrial buyers already understand. Delays, supplier handoffs, hard-to-source replacement parts, machining precision, welding quality, and equipment uptime are not abstract problems. They affect production.

01 · Offer

The offer is operational.

Liard helps with real production problems: complex parts, repair needs, equipment builds, certified welding, and machining that has to be done right.

02 · Audience

The buyers are reachable.

OEMs, industrial equipment builders, plant managers, maintenance leaders, and engineering teams can be identified and targeted through cold email and LinkedIn.

03 · Proof

The proof is already there.

Liard has facility scale, equipment, certifications, and decades of experience. Outbound does not need to invent a story. It needs to put the right story in front of the right people.

02 Opportunity

The opportunity is not more noise. It is better visibility.

Liard does not need generic lead generation. It needs a focused account-based outreach system that connects its capabilities to the right industrial situations.

03 Target accounts

Who Liard should be reaching.

Four buyer profiles match Liard's strongest work. Each one has a clear operational pain that maps directly to a Liard capability.

Profile 01

Industrial equipment manufacturers

Best for

Companies building machinery, processing systems, feeders, conveyors, material handling equipment, and custom industrial systems.

Likely pain

They need reliable machining, welding, assembly, and supplier coordination.

Best roles
PresidentOwnerGeneral ManagerVP OperationsEngineering ManagerProcurement Manager
Profile 02

Maintenance-heavy industrial plants

Best for

Pulp and paper, sawmills, aggregate, cement, recycling, food processing, mining support, and heavy manufacturing.

Likely pain

Critical parts fail, repairs are time-sensitive, and delays affect production.

Best roles
Plant ManagerMaintenance ManagerReliability ManagerOperations ManagerEngineering Manager
Profile 03

OEMs with complex parts

Best for

Manufacturers that need large, awkward, high-value, or hard-to-machine components.

Likely pain

Standard shops cannot handle the complexity, size, tolerance, or full process.

Best roles
Engineering ManagerManufacturing ManagerProduction ManagerProcurement Manager
Profile 04

Regional industrial buyers

Best for

Canadian and US companies that want a reliable North American supplier for custom industrial work.

Likely pain

Long supplier chains, offshore delays, poor communication, and too many handoffs.

04 Campaign angles

Campaign angles that match how buyers think.

The messaging should not lead with "machining services." That sounds like every other shop. The campaign should lead with the operational problem Liard solves.

01
Too many vendors on one build
Problem

When welding, machining, finishing, and assembly are split across multiple vendors, projects slow down.

Liard angle

Liard keeps more of the process together through machining, welding, assembly, finishing, and turnkey delivery.

Worth seeing where Liard fits when a build needs welding, machining, and assembly together?
02
Replacement parts and repair urgency
Problem

When a critical part fails, the issue is not just making the part. It is speed, accuracy, and getting production moving again.

Liard angle

Liard supports replacement parts, repair work, and complex machining for industrial equipment.

Should I send over what Liard can handle for replacement parts and repair work?
03
Complex 5-axis machining
Problem

Some parts are too large, awkward, or complex for standard machining workflows.

Liard angle

Liard has 5-axis complex machining and large-part capacity for industrial components.

Worth sending over Liard's machining capacity?
04
Certified welding and machining alignment
Problem

Welding and machining must be planned together when precision matters.

Liard angle

Liard's welders and machinists work from the same facility, reducing handoff issues and improving the final result.

Open to seeing how Liard handles welded and machined assemblies?
05
Turnkey industrial equipment support
Problem

Industrial equipment builds become harder when the buyer has to coordinate every supplier.

Liard angle

Liard can manage raw materials, external suppliers, welding, machining, assembly, finishing, and delivery.

Would it be useful to see how Liard handles turnkey industrial projects?
05 Outreach model

How cold email and LinkedIn would work together.

Two channels, one system. Email scales reach across target accounts. LinkedIn reinforces credibility with the people who matter most.

Cold email

Reach the right accounts at scale.
  • Build targeted account lists
  • Source verified contacts
  • Segment by industry and buying situation
  • Test short pain-based copy
  • Track replies and real interest
  • Protect deliverability through conservative sending volume

LinkedIn DM

Reinforce credibility and create familiarity.
  • Connect with priority decision makers
  • Support key target accounts
  • Route sensitive prospects through LinkedIn first
  • Use short, non-pushy messages
  • Build recognition before or after email outreach
Recommended approach
Test both sequences.
  1. LinkedIn first, cold email second.
  2. Cold email first, LinkedIn second.
  3. The goal is to learn which path creates better real conversations for Liard's market.
06 Sample outreach

What the first outreach could sound like.

Short. Specific. Built around one operational pain.

09 Performance

What success should be measured by.

This should not be judged by vanity metrics. The right measurement is whether the campaign creates qualified conversations with companies that match Liard's best-fit work.

M · 01

Reply quality

The substance of responses. Real interest versus polite no.

M · 02

Positive replies

Buyers asking to learn more, share a quote, or schedule a call.

M · 03

Relevant accounts reached

Coverage of right-fit companies inside Liard's target market.

M · 04

Campaign learning

What we learn each week about angles, segments, and timing.

  • No meeting guarantees
  • No revenue guarantees
  • No spam-style volume
The goal is sustainable outbound that protects Liard's reputation.
10 Timing

Why this makes sense now.

Liard has the operational credibility. The outbound opportunity is to turn that credibility into a repeatable market development system.

  • 01More industrial buyers are reviewing supplier reliability.
  • 02OEMs want fewer supplier handoffs.
  • 03Maintenance-heavy plants need trusted repair and replacement part partners.
  • 04Complex machining and certified welding are hard to source well.
  • 05A focused outbound system can create visibility beyond referrals and existing relationships.
11 Next step
