In 2023, Kaishan USA set an unprecedented target: amass 2,400 marketing qualified leads (“MQLs”), a goal loftier than any in its history.
The real challenge, however, was deepening market penetration and capturing share, particularly among sophisticated plant engineers, whose roles span crucial areas like sustainability and compliance, essential to Kaishan USA’s offerings.
