The challenge

A coaching brand specializing in leadership and organizational development wanted a predictable way to reach senior decision-makers. They had a clear offer but no system for getting in front of the right people at scale.

What we did

The work came down to three things done well:

1 · Email infrastructure

We audited the setup, then configured sending domains and ran a warm-up so messages landed in the inbox. List verification kept bounce rates low.

2 · Precision targeting

We built a list of 429 decision-makers in the coaching space, focused on CEOs, HR directors, and organizational development managers.

3 · Conversion-focused messaging

Over 10 days we ran a 5-email sequence: value emails tailored to each recipient's challenges, plus short follow-ups carrying testimonials and proof.

The numbers

Pipeline value created$96,000
Monthly fee$4,500
Campaign length2 months
Total spend$9,000
About 10x the program cost in qualified pipeline. $96,000 in new opportunities from a $9,000 spend. Closed revenue depends on the brand's own close rate.

The takeaway

A tight target list and value-first messaging turned cold outreach into real conversations. With 18 replies and 8 opportunities, the brand had more qualified pipeline than it could have built by hand.
