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. Every lead we contact is visible to you while it happens.

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

Inbounddemand that already exists
Paid ads
Organic
Outbounddemand we create
LinkedIn outreach
Cold email

Phone is the second touch on your high-value accounts, placed after they accept. Never a first approach.

Qualified conversationsthe one number both routes are judged on
Pipeline
Five channels

All of them built, and every one measured the same way.

Open ledger

You see every lead we contact, while it is happening.

Free audit

Written down, ranked by cost, and yours to keep.

Thirty days

The real work, before anything is signed.

01

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

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, plus the links behind them.

05

Phone

Reserved for your high-value accounts. We dial people who already accepted a connection, never as a cold first touch.

03

How they fit together

One sequence,
not five suppliers.

Every channel works from the same record, so each touch builds on the one before it. Your buyer meets one company with one message, not five.

  • The connection request goes out blank. The pitch is the first message after they accept
  • The call is the second touch and it goes to your high-value accounts. By the time we dial, they have accepted and 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
01

First touch

LinkedIn
  • The connection request, sent blank
  • The pitch, once they accept
02

Follow through

Email
  • Picks up what the message started
  • Something useful, with no ask attached
03

The conversation

Phone
  • High-value accounts, after they accept
  • Or back to email, and a call later

Usually inside two weeks, though the spacing is set per account. What never moves is that the request goes out blank and the call is never the first touch.

04

What to expect, and when

Every channel gets built. They answer at different speeds.

TRACKINGdaysfix first, every other number is wrong until it is done

COLD EMAILsix to ten weeksfour to six weeks of that is warmup
ORGANICsix to twelve monthscompounds, and keeps working after you stop paying for it
05

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

The real engagement, not a demonstration, 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.

Week 2

Everything built

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

Week 3

First replies

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

Week 4

A straight answer

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

06

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.

07

Two ways in

Let the evidence pick, or go straight to what already works.

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 rather than 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

Straight onto the channels you already know work

  • You have already proved where your buyers answer. We start there in week one rather than spending a month proving it again
  • No exploratory budget and no test window on a channel you have already read. The money goes straight into the one that matters
  • Same operating standard as Option A: named owners, the open ledger, the written week
  • The rest stay on the table. Open another whenever you want one, with nothing on your invoice changing

If you are not sure which channels those are, the free audit answers it before you commit to either option.

08

Who you actually get

Part of your team from day one.

They work the way an in-house team does: in your Slack, on your Monday call, answering the same day. Not an account manager relaying your questions to people you never meet.

09

How we work with you

You will always know where your pipeline stands.

Two named people working alongside your team, and a written account of everything they do.

01

In your Slack, not behind a ticket

Your strategist and analyst sit in your channel. Questions get a same-day answer from the people who run the account, not from a queue.

02

Nothing happens off the record

Every lead contacted and every change shipped is logged with the reason behind it. A decision you disagree with is already written down for you to argue with.

03

A written week, every week

The full lead ledger and the work behind it land every Friday: every contact made, every change shipped, and what is queued for the week ahead.

10

The next step

Nobody signs anything untila month of work has argued for it.

Read-only access is all we take, and nothing is signed either way.

Choose one, or all four

Every one of them free, and detailed enough to act on without us.

01

Pipeline & Outreach Audit

Your outbound motion end to end, from list and targeting through to a booked call.

02

Full-Funnel Paid Media Audit

Every account you spend in, read against what it actually returns.

03

Creative & Ad Strategy Audit

What you are saying, to whom, and whether any of it is landing.

04

Full-Funnel Ecommerce Audit

From the first impression to the second purchase, and the margin in between.

Portrait of our head of performance

Head of Performance

Whichever you choose, it is read and written by these two, and they stay on the account afterwards.
