Project History
GTM Strategy to Attract High-income ICPs
Managed to grow lead generation by ten times in 2021 compared to 2020 with inbound and digital advertising—a 15-times growth compared to 2019. This surpassed the client's sales goals for fractional airplane ownership in high-income households.
The GTM strategy was a resounding success, generating an impressive increase in lead generation YoY. This unprecedented demand for fractional plane ownership led the company to order new planes, hire more pilots, and expand its service area.
Revenue Increase for a Consulting Agency
Managed a 700% revenue increase for a consulting agency in Q1-Q2 2020 after a successful marketing analysis and a renewed go-to-market strategy that positioned the company as a leader and increased conversions.
Next, we evaluated their website's UX and CX and found that the user journey was not optimized for conversions. We implemented several design changes that streamlined the onboarding experience and made it easier for users to navigate the website. We also updated the website's messaging to align with the new content strategy.
Finally, we looked at the sales journey and found that it was not aligned with the customer journey. We created a new sales process that emphasized educating prospects and building trust before attempting to close a sale. We improved the client's go-to-market strategy by creating a targeted content strategy, improving website UX and CX, and aligning the sales journey with the customer journey.
Revenue Increase for a Healthcare SaaS Company
Helped a healthcare SaaS company exceed its $15 million yearly revenue goal by the early stages of Q4 using an inbound marketing strategy, ABM, email marketing, paid search, paid social, and CRO.
The inbound marketing efforts focused on creating valuable content that addressed the pain points of the target audience and showcased the unique value proposition of the client's service offering. ABM was used to identify and target high-value accounts, which resulted in a higher conversion rate and increased revenue per customer. Email marketing campaigns were created to educate prospects about the client's service offering and build trust. We used paid search and paid social campaigns to increase brand awareness and drive targeted traffic to the client's website. In addition, CRO was used to optimize the user journey and increase conversion rates. We made several design and messaging changes that streamlined the onboarding process and made it easier for users to engage with the brand.
This supercharged go-to-market strategy helped the company reach its revenue goal of $15 million before Q4. The client also experienced increased brand awareness and customer loyalty, positioning them for long-term growth.
