Prior to our engagement, the company faced persistent challenges in converting interest into meetings despite working with several marketing agencies and lead generation providers. These efforts failed to produce measurable pipeline growth or meaningful sales conversations.

The company needed a strategic, data-driven approach that could expand the founder’s network, open doors with enterprise buyers, and drive measurable business outcomes in a short time frame.

‍

To overcome these challenges, I designed and implemented a Founder-Led Outreach Program purpose-built for the LLM security market.

Key elements included:

• ICP Precision: Built a comprehensive targeting database aligned with high-value buyer personas in financial services, banking, and healthcare.
  
  
• Multi-Platform Data Integration: Combined data from LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Clay, Apollo, and custom data enrichment to ensure accuracy and relevance.
  
  
• AI-Driven Personalization: Leveraged AI to craft outreach messages tailored to industry pain points and compliance requirements, ensuring authenticity and trust.
  
  
• Automated Workflow: Used PhantomBuster, Instantly.io, and LinkedIn automation to scale outreach without compromising quality.
  
  

Network Expansion: Designed a structured system for the founder to re-engage existing contacts while expanding into new strategic accounts.

The program was executed over a 90-day sprint, structured for continuous optimization and scalability.

• Phase 1: Data enrichment and segmentation using Clay and Apollo to define the ICP.
  
  
• Phase 2: Outreach activation through Instantly.io and LinkedIn with AI-assisted messaging tested across key verticals.
  
  
• Phase 3: Ongoing optimization of copy, targeting, and follow-up sequences to improve conversion rates and booking efficiency.
  

Throughout implementation, the founder received ongoing visibility into campaign performance and real-time lead engagement metrics, enabling faster follow-ups and higher meeting conversion.

The founder-led growth program produced exceptional outcomes within 90 days:

• 40 qualified meetings booked directly through outreach
  

• 30% close rate from booked meetings
  

• 7-figures closed won ARR

• Consistent weekly meeting flow, replacing unreliable third-party agency output

• ‍Validated outbound messaging and ICP, establishing a foundation for future SDR scaling

This 90-day sprint transformed the company’s outreach into a repeatable revenue engine that consistently generated qualified opportunities from cold and warm audiences alike.

By building a precision-driven founder-led outreach engine, the LLM security company successfully transformed its sales pipeline and positioned itself for long-term scalability. The program delivered a predictable, high-quality meeting flow that drove over seven figures in ARR with a 30% close rate , enabling the company to confidently pursue its Series A funding round.
