About the client
Our client is a social media services company working in one of the most crowded markets there is. They had a capable team and real results for their own customers, but their outbound wasn’t standing out in a flooded inbox.
The challenges
A saturated market
Dozens of agencies offered similar services, so prospects had little reason to pick them over anyone else.
An offer and voice that blended in
Their outreach sounded like every other agency’s, so it was easy to ignore.
A low reply rate of 2.3%
Most of their emails went unanswered, so outbound wasn’t producing enough qualified conversations.
What we did
We fixed who they were targeting and what they were offering first, then built an outbound system that kept improving month over month.
