A real client story

From "outbound is dead for us" to $480K in pipeline in 90 days.

A Series A SaaS team came to us burnt out on cold outbound. Below is exactly what we changed and what it produced. Numbers pulled straight from their CRM, no rounding up.

The problem01

Two SDRs gone, one agency fired, zero meetings.

  • Series A vertical SaaS team selling into ops leaders at mid market logistics companies.
  • Burned through two in house SDRs and a generalist agency in 14 months.
  • Domain reputation tanked. Even warm intros were landing in spam.
  • Founder was personally writing every cold email and still getting under 1% replies.
What we did02

Rebuilt the system end to end in three weeks.

  • Migrated outbound off the primary domain to three dedicated, warmed sending domains.
  • Re cut their ICP from "logistics ops" to "VPs of Ops at 50 to 250 truck fleets".
  • Wrote three distinct angle tests on cost reduction, hiring pain, and compliance risk.
  • Layered LinkedIn voice notes on top for anyone who opened twice but did not reply.
  • Reply team booked qualified meetings straight onto AE calendars through HubSpot.

"We had basically given up on cold outbound. The ZestVert team came in, did not oversell, and quietly rebuilt the whole thing. Inside three weeks we were in real conversations with buyers again. Ninety days in, we had added more pipeline than our last two SDRs managed in a year, for a fraction of the cost. The renewal was the easiest call we made this quarter."
