Odoo's go-to-market relied heavily on in-person events to drive regional pipeline and partner engagement. I built the paid acquisition engine behind a program that scaled to 100+ roadshows per year across the US and internationally.
LinkedIn and Meta were the primary acquisition channels. I used LinkedIn for persona-targeted outreach to decision-makers and IT buyers, and Meta for broader awareness and lookalike audiences built from past registrant lists. Roughly 90% of registrations came through paid, with organic and direct playing a minor supporting role.
The program reached $1M+ in annual paid media budget and delivered approximately 3x ROI tied to downstream revenue, making it one of the most consistent pipeline drivers in the business.
CASE STUDY: Cold Outreach - How I Handle a "Not Interested"
Most freelancers panic when a brand says "Not interested." I don't.
Here's the exact 3-step framework I used when a 30K+ SaaS brand said No twice:
Step 1 - Initial Pitch: Spotted a retargeting gap in their Meta Ads (prospecting without retargeting for site visitors). Pitched lean.
Step 2 - Value Follow-up: When they said No, I didn't push. Offered a 2-min Loom walking through the gap + 1 strategy fix they could run without me. No pitch attached.
Step 3 - Professional Close: When they said No again, I closed the loop respectfully: "Totally understand - I'll close the loop here. If things change, I'm here. Wishing you success."
Result: They replied "Appreciate it, and wishing you all the best too 🧡" - door left open for future. No burn, no desperation.
Lesson: On Contra and Instagram, how you handle a No matters more than how you pitch a Yes. Professional close > pushy follow-up.
I build the same systems for coaches and DTC brands: Meta retargeting, GoHighLevel automations, and follow-ups that close without being pushy.
Most people only post wins, so a case study on handling "not interested" is a refreshing angle. Which follow-up line gets you the most replies after a no?

Many small teams still run WhatsApp from a single phone. Texto, one of our own products at my studio, turns it into a shared team inbox: every chat in one place, smart routing to the right teammate, and bulk broadcasts with live delivery counts.
I’ve spent 8+ years designing and building websites, apps and brands, and our studio is 5 years old. Just joined Contra, so say hi if you’re building something.
What would you add first to a team inbox: notes, tags or auto-replies?
