Business Situation

New Business Depended on Personal Networks

Professional services firms often rely on partners and senior consultants to win new work through their own networks. When outbound prospecting is added, it tends to run from spreadsheets and personal inboxes, with no shared target list, inconsistent messaging, and little record in the CRM of who was contacted and what happened next.

The Challenge

Why Outbound Was Hard to Repeat

  • No agreed definition of the ideal client.
  • Prospect lists built by hand and quickly out of date.
  • Outreach sent from personal inboxes without a shared sequence.
  • Replies and meetings not recorded in the CRM.
  • No clear view of which segments and messages created pipeline.
