Time: 90 days
Result: 71 qualified meetings, 248 positive replies, $2.84M pipeline
The challenge
A strong local reputation, but almost no engine for new business. Growth depended on referrals and the owner's network. Cleaning contracts are sticky and switching is hard, so the company needed a repeatable way to start new conversations at scale.
What we built
How the system ran: facility directors, 52,000+ emails, pain-led message, 71 meetings
A scored list of facility managers and operations directors at multi-location companies: the people who own the cleaning budget.
Warmed sending domains and inboxes, so volume never touched the main domain.
Short, pain-led sequences about missed cleanings, compliance risk and uneven quality across sites.
Same-day reply handling that carried each positive conversation to a booked meeting.
We ran cold email as the only channel on purpose, to prove it could carry the whole pipeline by itself. No LinkedIn, ads or inbound.
How it ran
Month by month: zero outbound to 71 meetings
The campaign numbers
Campaign card: cold email only, 52,000 sent, 248 positive replies, 71 meetings, $2.84M qualified pipeline
Summary card built from live campaign data. Deal counts and revenue on the card are client-reported where published; otherwise the card estimates them at 1 in 3 positive replies.
The result
The numbers: 52,000+ emails, 248 replies, 71 meetings, $2.84M pipeline
52,000+ cold emails sent over 90 days
248 positive replies
71 qualified meetings with budget holders
$2.84M pipeline: 71 meetings x $40,000 expected annual contract
The system was still running and compounding when the case study was written. Pipeline is not closed revenue.
Why it worked
The right buyer. People responsible for many locations feel missed cleanings the most.
One pain per email. Short emails about real problems beat long service lists.
Fast replies. Same-day handling turned interest into meetings before it faded.
