When an outbound campaign needs to outperform a client's internal sales team, the bar isn't just meetings. It's meeting quality and conversion potential. Velox Media had an experienced internal team that knew their market (retail brands scaling digital), so we needed to bring volume and precision they couldn't match on their own. We built prospect lists of growing retail brands using revenue growth signals, hiring patterns, and digital ad spend indicators to identify companies in an active scaling phase. Not just any retailer, but ones whose growth trajectory meant they'd outgrow their current marketing setup within 6 to 12 months. Cold email was the primary volume driver, with messaging built around Velox's specific growth metrics and ROI wins from comparable retail brands. Rather than claiming "we grow retail brands," sequences cited percentage improvements in ROAS and revenue for named verticals, giving prospects a clear mental model of what working with Velox would look like. LinkedIn outreach provided air cover on the same accounts, with Velox's team engaging prospects' content and initiating conversations that felt organic rather than scripted. AI cold calling targeted retail brands at the highest growth rates, using brief scripts focused on the specific ROI metrics most relevant to the prospect's vertical. The combination generated 72 qualified responses monthly and 60 meetings in 6 months, a volume and quality benchmark that their internal team hadn't hit in four years of trying.

DTC brands evaluate advertising agencies on one metric above all others: can you acquire customers profitably at scale? Convert's track record proved they could, but getting that proof in front of the right founders and marketing leaders required precision targeting and messaging that spoke DTC fluently. We built prospect lists through six-source verification, identifying scaling DTC brands based on ad spend growth signals, new product launches, and hiring activity in marketing and growth roles. Cold email was the primary volume channel, deployed through enterprise infrastructure (2 USA IPs, 100 Outlook inboxes on Azure) to maintain deliverability. Messaging was built entirely around specific ROI metrics: customer acquisition costs, ROAS benchmarks, and revenue growth from comparable DTC brands. Every sequence included a specific case study tailored to the prospect's product category. A skincare brand heard about skincare wins. A supplements brand heard about supplements wins. AI cold calling supplemented email for high-value prospects, using brief scripts that led with the most relevant performance metric for the prospect's category. LinkedIn outreach engaged DTC founders with content about paid acquisition strategies, building Convert's credibility before the direct ask. The campaign consistently delivered 7 qualified leads per week with an extraordinary 70% closing rate, a conversion metric that reflects both the targeting precision and the strength of Convert's proof points.
