Meta Ads Signups
Paid acquisition
Strong software. No outbound engine.
The company attracted users through free trials and organic content but had no structured system for consistently generating qualified signups, demo bookings, or a scalable sales pipeline.
The assignment: build a full outbound acquisition engine from scratch, and later expand it to paid social after strong results were established.
No outbound pipeline
Lead generation was entirely inbound and organic with no structured system for outreach.
Inconsistent demo bookings
No repeatable process for filling the sales team's calendar with qualified meetings.
Untapped paid acquisition
Meta Ads as a channel had never been explored or activated.
Growth bottleneck
Business needed a scalable acquisition engine to support expansion and hiring.
The Process
ICP Research & Audience Mapping
Defined the ideal customer profile by analyzing existing users, industry segments, and software use cases. Mapped targeting criteria to maximize qualified lead quality before sending a single email.
Prospect List Building
Sourced and verified high-intent contacts using Apollo.io and LinkedIn Sales Navigator. Cleaned, enriched, and structured data for deliverability and relevance at scale.
Infrastructure & Deliverability Setup
Configured sending domains, warmed up accounts, and established deliverability protocols. Built a foundation designed to reach the inbox, not the spam folder, at millions of sends.
Copywriting & A/B Testing
Wrote and tested multiple subject lines, email bodies, and CTAs. Refined messaging continuously based on open rates, reply rates, and meeting conversion data.
Multi-Touch Follow-Up Sequences
Built automated follow-up sequences to re-engage cold contacts. Balanced persistence with professionalism to maximize response rates while protecting sender reputation.
Meta Ads Expansion
After demonstrating strong outbound results, expanded the acquisition strategy to paid social. Built and optimized Meta campaigns targeting software-fit audiences, generating an additional 5,048 direct signups.
At over 2.5 million emails sent, maintaining strong open rates requires precision, not volume for volume's sake.

Outbound email + Meta Ads
The outbound strategy created a predictable, scalable pipeline, turning cold prospects into qualified software users and demo-ready leads at consistent volume. Within the first six months, the increase in qualified signups contributed to approximately 30% growth in business payouts, which directly supported additional hiring and operational expansion.
Those results earned a broader mandate: Meta Ads management was added to the scope, extending the acquisition strategy to paid social and generating an additional 5,048 signups. The combined outbound + paid approach gave the company a full-funnel acquisition engine that continued to perform for over two years.
