This 60-person RegTech company builds compliance workflow automation for insurers operating under Solvency II, IDD, and FCA reporting requirements. Their buyers are Heads of Compliance and Chief Risk Officers at insurance companies, among the most risk-averse and process-driven decision makers in financial services. Cold outreach to compliance teams gets filtered by their own spam detection tools. Industry conferences generated introductions but conversion to first meetings sat below 3%.

What this company was facing
Insurance compliance buyers require vendor engagement through approved procurement channels. Cold email to compliance teams is ironic: these are the people who build email filtering rules for a living. The company had spent $60K on conference sponsorships in the prior year and generated 4 qualified meetings. Solvency II reporting deadlines created urgent buying windows, but the company had no way to reach compliance teams before those windows closed.

WEEKS 1-3
Tracked Solvency II reporting deadlines, FCA enforcement actions, and EIOPA guidance changes affecting insurers in the UK and EU. Built signal agents monitoring compliance team hiring at insurers (indicating internal reviews or mandate changes), insurer annual reports mentioning compliance modernization, and regulatory filings revealing operational risk findings.
WEEKS 4-7
Each outreach message referenced a specific regulatory obligation relevant to the prospect’s jurisdiction and insurer type (life, general, specialty). Messages positioned around upcoming reporting deadlines and regulatory changes, not product capabilities. Strategist-reviewed to ensure compliance terminology was used correctly. Targeting prioritized insurers in active reporting cycles.
WEEKS 8-10
Show rate stabilized at 88% because prospects had opted in before the call, eliminating the no-show problem from conference leads. 5 insurers entered formal vendor evaluation with procurement teams engaged. Signal agents identified a second cohort of insurers triggered by incoming IDD reporting changes in Q2.
“We are the people who build email filters. We know when we are being cold-pitched. Every vendor email lands in spam. Fluum’s approach was different because the introduction came through a trusted path and referenced the exact regulatory challenge we were trying to solve. That is why we took the meeting.”
Head of Compliance, mid-market UK insurer
Insurance compliance buyers are unreachable through cold outreach. They are trained to detect unsolicited vendor contact and filter it. The only path to a compliance conversation is through a warm introduction that references specific regulatory obligations relevant to the prospect’s jurisdiction. Fluum’s signal-driven approach timed outreach to regulatory reporting cycles, producing 16 meetings at an 88% show rate with zero cold messages sent.
