Case Study: Creating a Fully Integrated, Data-Driven Lead Generation System

Through end-to-end system analysis, competitive research, and internal interviews, I developed a custom multi-channel lead generation framework that streamlined outbound efforts, optimized sales efficiency, and positioned the company as a dominant local alternative to national competitors.

 

1. Building a Multi-Channel Lead Generation Funnel

Designed & Implemented a Targeted Outbound Calling Campaign

  • Created highly targeted prospect lists based on ideal customer profiles (ICPs), filtering by industry, company size, and location.
  • Developed talk tracks & objection-handling scripts to improve conversion rates.
  • Trained reps on effective cold calling strategies, emphasizing relationship-building over transactional pitches.

Developed a Multi-Step Email & Content Nurture Strategy

  • Built automated email sequences to warm up leads before sales calls.
  • Designed localized content that spoke to regional business challenges and compliance needs.
  • Created follow-up sequences to keep leads engaged post-meeting.

Leveraged Local Networking, Key Events & Partnerships

  • Established strategic partnerships with CPA firms, business consultants, and industry associations to generate referrals and introductions.
  • Built an event strategy, including local business expos, HR networking groups, and targeted industry meetups to establish brand presence and generate inbound leads.
  • Integrated partnership-driven co-marketing efforts, including joint webinars and business roundtables.

Implemented a Referral & Client Advocacy Program

  • Designed a structured referral incentive program to encourage current clients to introduce new businesses.
  • Developed a client advocacy initiative, positioning satisfied customers as brand ambassadors through case studies, testimonials, and peer-to-peer recommendations.

2. Infrastructure & Technology: Creating a Scalable, Trackable System

Implemented a CRM for Lead Tracking & Sales Automation

  • Built a centralized CRM system to track lead activity, outreach progress, and conversion rates.
  • Automated follow-ups and task reminders to ensure consistent engagement with prospects.

Developed Custom Lead Scoring & Qualification Criteria

  • Created a lead scoring model to prioritize high-intent prospects and ensure sales reps focused on the most valuable opportunities.
  • Set clear qualification criteria to improve meeting-to-opportunity conversion rates.

Integrated Digital Ads & Retargeting to Capture More Leads

  • Ran hyper-localized digital ad campaigns targeting businesses within the company’s geographic footprint.
  • Implemented retargeting ads to recapture interest from website visitors and past inquiries.

Built a Sales & Marketing Feedback Loop for Continuous Improvement

  • Established weekly lead review meetings to assess pipeline health and campaign effectiveness.
  • Created an internal data dashboard to track:
    • Lead source performance (cold calls, referrals, networking events, digital ads).
    • Conversion rates at each stage of the funnel.
    • Customer acquisition costs vs. lifetime value to optimize ROI.

3. Training & Ongoing Consulting for Long-Term Success

Trained Sales Reps on Multi-Channel Engagement Best Practices

  • Conducted live training sessions, role-playing exercises, and hands-on coaching.
  • Equipped reps with customized playbooks for handling objections, presenting value, and building long-term relationships.

Provided Ongoing Consulting for Funnel Optimization

  • Continued monitoring performance data and refining outreach tactics based on real-world insights.
  • Adjusted email cadences, content strategy, and event participation based on engagement trends.

Enabled Leadership to Track and Scale Growth

  • Created custom reporting dashboards so leadership could monitor pipeline growth and revenue impact.
  • Developed a long-term strategic roadmap to expand into new verticals and geographic markets.
