Case Study · B2B SaaS
Falkon
How a growth-stage SaaS team went from 2 ideal-customer meetings a month to 14 in the first four weeks of working with EngageBizDev.
Qualified meetings
ICP connections added (4 weeks)
LinkedIn response rate
The Challenge
- Falkon, a growth-stage B2B SaaS company, had tried two other outbound agencies over the previous several months. Neither delivered.
- Replies were coming in, but almost none were from ideal customers. Senior closers were burning hours on discovery calls that went nowhere.
- The Chief Growth Officer needed a predictable pipeline and a way to forecast the next two quarters with confidence.
Our Approach
- We started with a deep ICP rebuild. Title, company size, tech stack triggers, recent funding and hiring signals.
- Every message was written by hand by a senior writer with B2B SaaS sales experience, not a template engine.
- We layered LinkedIn outreach as the primary channel with email reinforcement on a 4 to 6 touch cadence.
Implementation
- Week 1: Discovery, ICP definition, messaging build and Sales Navigator search setup.
- Week 2: Campaign launch with daily message reviews and A/B variants on opening lines.
- Weeks 3 to 4: Weekly tuning calls with Kelly to refine the ICP based on actual reply quality.
- Throughout: Qualification questions baked into the reply sequence so only buyer-ready prospects hit the calendar.
The Outcome
- 138 ideal-customer LinkedIn connections added in 4 weeks.
- 6 qualified meetings in a single week by the end of the engagement's first month.
- A reply tone the CGO described as 'refreshing and different,' which directly translated to a higher close rate downstream.
"We tried A/B testing two firms for several months, neither of whom worked out. And then we found someone who is crushing it for us. Kelly and her team helped me grow my LinkedIn connections by 138 people in four weeks, and I'm getting several meetings with ideal customers (6 this week). Her approach is refreshing and different, which is why it works."
