THE CHALLENGE

Where they were stuck

Zozimus is a full-service marketing agency with marquee clients like Toast and GoToMeeting, known for campaigns that doubled demo requests and earned TechCrunch coverage. Despite this track record, their outbound efforts failed to reflect the caliber of work they actually delivered, leaving qualified prospects unaware of what Zozimus could do for them.

Outbound messaging undersold their proven results with marquee B2B clients

Generic agency pitches got buried in crowded marketing VP inboxes

No systematic way to match outreach specificity to prospect company profiles

THE SYSTEM WE BUILT

How we solved their problems

Precision List Building

Built segmented prospect lists of marketing VPs at high-growth B2B tech companies mirroring Zozimus's best clients, filtered by company stage, scale, and growth ambitions. If a prospect didn't look like Zozimus's marquee clients did at the same stage, they didn't make the list.

Outcome-Led Messaging Strategy

Outreach was structured around the companies-like-yours framework, showing what Zozimus achieved for comparable companies and letting prospects draw the obvious conclusion. Every sequence led with outcomes marketing leaders actually care about, demo pipeline, press coverage, and brand velocity, instead of the service list that buries most agency outreach.

Multi-Channel Scale and Optimize

Cold email carried the message, LinkedIn engagement reinforced it, and AI cold calling covered the highest-growth targets with brief scripts anchored to results from comparable clients. Monthly refinement of angles and verticals drove replies higher with each iteration, producing 46 qualified responses per month and 30 meetings in three months.

Zozimus had the portfolio to compete with any agency in the B2B space. With marquee clients like Toast and GoToMeeting, proven campaigns that doubled demo requests, and press coverage in TechCrunch, the results spoke for themselves. But their outbound didn't. Prospecting efforts were inconsistent, and the messaging failed to communicate the caliber of work Zozimus was capable of delivering.

Outbound System rebuilt their entire prospecting approach around specificity and peer comparison. Target lists were built to mirror Zozimus's best existing clients: marketing VPs at high-growth B2B tech companies with similar stage, scale, and growth ambitions. Messaging was structured around the "companies like yours" framework, showing prospects what Zozimus achieved for comparable companies and letting them draw the obvious conclusion. Instead of listing services, every sequence led with outcomes that matter to marketing leaders: demo pipeline, press coverage, and brand velocity.

Cold email was the primary channel, reinforced by LinkedIn outreach that engaged prospects' content and shared relevant case study insights. AI cold calling targeted marketing VPs at the highest-growth companies, using brief scripts anchored to specific results from similar clients. Monthly optimization refined which angles and verticals were producing the strongest responses.

The campaign generated 46 qualified responses per month and booked 30 meetings in 3 months. Prospects arrived to first calls already understanding Zozimus's value, shortening the sales cycle and improving close rates. As Senior Partner AJ Gerritson put it, "Your quality of leads have been top-notch."

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about this case study, answered.

Can cold email work for marketing agencies selling to B2B tech companies?

Absolutely. Zozimus generated 46 qualified responses per month and booked 30 meetings in 3 months by targeting marketing VPs at high-growth B2B tech companies. The key was leading with specific outcomes from comparable clients rather than listing services.

How do you differentiate one agency from all the others in outbound?

We avoid listing services entirely. For Zozimus, every sequence showcased specific results (demo pipeline growth, press coverage, brand velocity) from comparable companies. Prospects arrived to the first call already understanding the value, which shortened the sales cycle significantly.

What reply rates can a marketing agency expect from cold email?

Zozimus achieved 46 average qualified replies per month, well above typical agency benchmarks. The difference was specificity. Targeting companies that closely resembled Zozimus's best existing clients meant every email felt relevant rather than generic.

Strategy

Agencies need sales talent but hate the traditional recruiting process. It's slow, expensive, and the commission-only model Closify offers sounds too good to be true until you see it work. We built Closify's outbound around that skepticism, using proof to overcome it rather than trying to argue it away. Prospect lists were built through six-source verification targeting growing agencies, companies adding new service lines, expanding client rosters, or posting sales roles. These are signals that revenue was scaling faster than their ability to hire closers. Cold email was the primary channel, with messaging structured around the specific economics: what it costs to hire, train, and manage an in-house sales rep versus deploying a commission-only closer through Closify, with results data from comparable agencies. The math did the selling. Optimized sending infrastructure maintained primary inbox placement at scale, which was critical for reaching agency founders who receive high email volume. LinkedIn outreach supplemented email by engaging with agency founders' content on growth, hiring, and sales challenges, creating brand recognition before the direct pitch. AI cold calling targeted agencies at the largest scale, where a brief conversation about their current sales hiring costs and pipeline goals could quickly establish whether Closify's model was a fit. The campaign produced 52 qualified responses monthly and 95 meetings booked over 11 months, a sustained pipeline that reflected both the quality of targeting and the fundamental appeal of Closify's model once prospects understood the economics.

Strategy

Med Profit Lab is a McAllen, TX-based care management enablement firm that helps medical practices, ACOs, and health systems design and implement Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Chronic Care Management (CCM) programs. Reaching practice owners and ACO leaders means breaking through to a notoriously protective audience. Practice owners get cold-pitched constantly by RPM vendors, billing companies, and consultants, so the bar for getting attention was high from the first message. Targeting focused on independent and multi-provider practices in chronic-care-heavy specialties (primary care, cardiology, endocrinology, nephrology) plus ACO and health system leadership, segmented by patient panel size and current care management maturity. Email infrastructure was set up with 350+ Microsoft inboxes across 9 domains to ensure deliverability into healthcare inboxes that filter aggressively. Outreach led with MPL's specific model (phased enablement not outsourcing, flat monthly fee with no revenue share, in-house program ownership) anchored in concrete revenue-per-patient outcomes rather than generic consulting pitches. In the first 30 days, the campaign produced 36 qualified leads with practice owners Randy had been trying to reach for years, with 27 of those leads converting to actual sales meetings.
