THE CHALLENGE

Campaigns were optimised for form fills, and many leads were students, competitors or too small. Leads sat in a shared inbox for up to a day before anyone replied.

WHAT WE DID

Specialists decide. Agents amplify.

01

Optimise for quality

THE SPECIALIST

Fed qualified-lead data from the CRM back into bidding, and cut keywords that drove junk volume.

THE AGENTS

A scoring agent rates every lead on firmographics within seconds of it arriving.

02

Instant follow-up

THE SPECIALIST

Designed routing rules with sales: by market, deal size and product line.

THE AGENTS

A routing agent enriches each lead, assigns an owner, alerts them in Slack and drafts a personalised first email.

03

One view across markets

THE SPECIALIST

Set targets and budget splits per market, reviewed monthly with regional leads.

THE AGENTS

A reporting agent compiles a cross-market pipeline summary every week.

RESULTS

  • Cost per qualified lead down 34%
  • Lead response time cut from about a day to under five minutes
  • Junk leads filtered out before they reached sales
  • One weekly pipeline view across nine markets
