B2B lead acquisition

Five ways to reach
the people who buy from you.

We build all of them, measure them the same way, and put the budget behind the ones that work — with every lead we contact visible to you while it happens.

No card, no contract. The audit is yours to keep either way.

Five channels — paid ads, cold email, LinkedIn outreach, organic and phone — converging into qualified conversations, and on into pipelinePAID ADSCOLD EMAILLINKEDINORGANICPHONEQUALIFIEDCONVERSATIONSPIPELINE
One plan, not five separate suppliers — and one number to judge all of it by: what a qualified conversation costs.

How we work

An open kitchen.

You see every lead we contact and every action we take on it — while it is happening, not summarised at the end of the month.

  • Every person we approach on your behalf, by name and company, in a sheet you can open any day
  • Every action stamped against them — sent, accepted, replied, called, booked, or dead and why
  • A written weekly report that shows the work, not a dashboard that hides it
  • Every account, list and domain in your name from day one, and yours if you leave

The shape of the view you get, not a real client’s data. The row that went nowhere is in there on purpose — a report you can only read as good news is not a report.

What we run

Built in days. Judged on evidence. Scaled when they earn it.

01

Paid ads

Google, Microsoft, Meta and LinkedIn. We stop the waste before we add budget.

02

Cold email

Separate domains, warmed properly, sent to a list we build and enrich ourselves.

03

LinkedIn outreach

From real profiles, as a sequence. The request goes out blank; the pitch is the message after they accept.

04

Organic

The answers your sales team gives on every first call, published — and the links behind them.

05

Phone

Dialling people who already accepted a connection. Never a cold first touch.

How they fit together

One sequence,
not five suppliers.

Run separately, five channels are five strangers introducing themselves to the same person in the same week.

  • The connection request goes out blank — the pitch is the first message after they accept
  • The call is the second touch, never the first. By the time we dial, they have seen the name
  • Email follows up what the other two started, on a domain built for it
  • Every touch is logged against the same person, so nobody is contacted twice by accident
A two-week cadence: connection request, then message, then email, then two calls, staggered across three lanesLINKEDINEMAILPHONEREQUESTMESSAGEFOLLOW-UPVALUECALLCALLDAY 1DAY 14
Staggered on purpose. Nobody is called by a company they have never heard of.

Three things worth knowing

The numbers that shape the plan.

15–30%

of paid search spend is structural waste. On most accounts the fastest return is subtraction, not more budget.

GrowthSpree, 2026

28.5%

of LinkedIn connection requests are accepted. The top of the outbound funnel is knowable before we send one.

Expandi — 13.2M requests across 13,302 accounts, 2025–26

4–6 wks

to warm a sending domain before cold email lands. No budget shortens it, so month one builds and month two sends.

Deliverability norms — vendor consensus, no independent dataset

Every figure we put in front of you carries where it came from. Where the published evidence disagrees with itself — and on outbound it often does — we show you both ends rather than the flattering one.

What to expect, and when

Every channel gets built. They answer at different speeds.

Days2–4 weeks4–8 weeks6–12 months
TRACKINGfix first — every other number is wrong until it is done
LINKEDIN OUTREACHfirst conversations, from a standing start
PHONEsecond touch, after the connection
PAID ADSwaste out early, scaling later
COLD EMAILfour to six weeks of that is warmup
ORGANICcompounds, and keeps working after you stop paying
Not a running order — all of it is built in the first three weeks. This is the honest answer to “when will we know”, because a channel judged before it can answer gets killed for the wrong reason.

The first month

A free audit, then thirty days of the actual work.

No card, no contract. Built in your accounts, never in ours.

Day 0

The audit, written down

Read-only access is all we take. A senior strategist reads the whole account and the findings come back ranked by what each one is costing you. Yours to keep, whatever you decide next.

Day 1–30

Thirty days to judge us

Not a demonstration — the real engagement, done the way we would for a client of two years. A named strategist and analyst. Every change documented with its reasoning shown.

Day 30

You decide

Scale what worked, stop what did not, or walk. If you walk you keep the audit, the tracking fixes, the documentation and the list. Nothing is committed either way.

Week 1

Access and plan

Tracking audited and repaired. Channels agreed. First list built, domains warming.

the written audit

Week 2

Everything built

Each channel set up by the specialist who will run it. Paid waste removed. Outreach starts sending.

the change log

Week 3

First replies

Messaging begins. Phone touches on accepted connections. Copy revised on what replies actually say.

replies in your inbox

Week 4

A straight answer

Every channel read against the test budget you approved, on cost per qualified conversation.

the written read-out

Said now rather than later

What thirty days
will not do.

Thirty days from a standing start is a setup window with a signal at the end of it, not a harvest. Anyone promising a full pipeline in a month is counting something other than meetings.

Cold email at volume

Domains need four to six weeks of warmup before they can send without landing in spam. Month one buys the infrastructure; month two sends on it.

Anything in organic search

Nothing published in week one ranks by week four. That is a six-to-twelve month channel, and pretending otherwise would make everything else here less believable.

Close a deal, if your cycle is longer than a month

We measure booked conversations, not closed revenue — a deal signed inside thirty days would be luck rather than evidence.

Two ways in

Let the evidence pick, or run the one you already trust.

Option A · the default

Every channel built, the winners scaled

  • We agree four or five channels against your margins and where your buyers actually are
  • Each is built from scratch by the specialist who will run it
  • Each runs to a test budget you approve and a window agreed up front
  • What proves out gets the budget. What cannot pay its way is turned off the same week — and you hear it from us, not from the report

No setup fee, no per-channel fee, and nothing on your invoice changes when we open the next one. You fund the media; we do everything around it.

Option B

One service, run properly

  • You already know which channel works and need it run well
  • One channel is visibly broken, and fixing it is worth more than exploring the rest
  • You have internal capacity for everything else
  • Budget will not stretch to five, and spreading it thin would prove nothing

Who you actually get

Part of your team from day one.

The people who run the audit are the people who run the account. You are not handed to somebody junior once the paperwork is signed.

Each named, each owning one thing end to end — hover a portrait to see what. Your strategist and analyst are in your Slack rather than behind a ticket queue, and material changes are signed off by a named person before they reach a live campaign.

The operating rhythm

Every week has the same shape.

Five fixed points, each with a named owner, and something that lands with you on every one of them. You should never have to ask what happened.

Mon

The week opens

Last week read against target, weekend anomalies triaged, priorities posted

Tue

Build and ship

Campaigns, sequences and negatives built; tracking and feed fixes deployed

Wed

Analysis

Search terms and replies reviewed, models recalibrated, your question answered

Thu

Sign-off

Every material change signed off, test results read, next round designed

Fri

Report

The lead ledger and the written week sent; repeated checks turned into alerts

What lands Friday

The whole ledger, not a summary

Every person contacted that week, what happened to them, and what is queued next — the same view from earlier on this page.

What lands Tuesday

A change log with reasons

Every build that went live and why. If a decision looks wrong to you, the reasoning is already written down to argue with.

Any day

A person, not a ticket

Your strategist and analyst are in your Slack. Same-day response, and they are the same two people in month six as in week one.

The next step

Nobody signs anything until a month of work has argued for it.

Read-only access to your accounts, and you have the written audit within a few working days. It is specific enough to act on without us — and that is the point.

We do not guarantee results, and it is worth being wary of anyone who does. Auctions, seasonality and your own conversion rate all move independently of us. What we commit to is the operating standard: a named strategist and analyst, changes signed off before they go live, and every account in your name throughout.
