200 conversations and 4 new clients in 11 weeks. The founder never wrote an email.
Seven years of referrals. Then the referrals plateaued.
A founder-led executive search firm for tech and finance. Every client had come from the network: 2 to 3 per quarter, erratic revenue, and the founder doing all business development between searches. A previous agency had burned the market with templates.
20,000 companies mapped. Before a single send.
Custom research mapped the market into 6 to 8 sub-verticals. Twenty-five dedicated domains and one hundred mailboxes were built and warmed under the client's name, and roughly 200 message variants were written and approved.
A second channel, running on its own.
Two hundred interested conversations in eleven weeks. Four signed clients at a $40K average deal. A quarter-million in confirmed pipeline, and a system that is still running, still learning the market, still booking.
Three things this engagement proves.
The previous agency sent more email and got nothing. Twenty-five warmed domains and real research beat raw volume every week.
~200 variants meant the market, not anyone's opinion, decided which messages scale.
Month one was the floor. Every send since has sharpened the targeting, and the founder's BD time stays near zero.
Your market has its own version of these numbers.
One call to see it live, on your market. Then you decide.
