The Challenge
The agency relied almost entirely on referrals and inbound leads from their own marketing. While these leads were high quality, the volume was unpredictable — some months they had 20 prospects, others they had 5. They needed a reliable outbound engine to complement their inbound efforts.
The Solution
The agency consolidated their tools into a single platform that handled AI-powered search, company enrichment, people lookup, and pipeline management. Reps could search for potential clients across industries and locations, get them scored automatically, and find the right decision-maker to contact.
Search for potential clients by describing the type of company they want to work with — "e-commerce companies in Germany with 50-200 employees" returns targeted results instantly.
Each prospect is enriched with employee count, revenue estimates, tech stack, and industry data — giving the team context before the first outreach.
Find the marketing director or CMO at each prospect company with verified contact information for personalized outreach.
The Results
After One quarter:
3x pipeline growth
Total pipeline value grew from $150K to $450K in active opportunities within one quarter.
60+ new prospects per month
From 8-15 new prospects/month (referral-dependent) to 60+ consistently through outbound search.
4→1 tools consolidated
Replaced four separate tools with one integrated platform, saving $800/month in subscriptions.
25% higher close rate
Better prospect research and scoring meant the team pursued better-fit clients who closed at higher rates.
"Before, we were entirely dependent on referrals. Now we have a predictable outbound engine that finds the right companies and the right contacts. Our pipeline has never been this full or this qualified."
