Marketing systems
Most companies at this size do not have a lead generation problem. They have a lead handling problem: enquiries arrive and die in the gap between arriving and someone dealing with them. Spending more on campaigns to feed a leaky handler is the most expensive mistake in marketing.
Measure the handler before you fund the top
Four numbers. Get them before you approve another campaign budget:
- Median time from enquiry to first human response. Not average — median. The average hides the overnight ones.
- Percentage of enquiries that receive more than one follow-up attempt. Usually shockingly low.
- Percentage that end up in a system at all rather than in one person's inbox.
- Close rate by response-time band. Under an hour, under a day, over a day. Your own data, your own answer, and it will change the conversation in the room.
If those numbers are poor, spending more on generation increases waste proportionally. Fix the handler first — it is faster, cheaper, and it makes every future campaign worth more.
What we build
- Capture that works everywhere an enquiry can arrive — form, phone, email, chat, marketplace — into one place, with the source preserved.
- Routing by rule, immediately. Not a daily digest, not a shared inbox where responsibility evaporates.
- A first response in minutes, in the channel it came in on, that is actually useful.
- Follow-up on rails so nothing depends on somebody remembering on a busy Thursday.
- Attribution that survives contact with reality — which is usually less precise than dashboards claim, and being honest about that is more useful than a confident wrong number.
Where this sits relative to campaigns
This is the plumbing, not the creative. We build the system a campaign runs through. If your handler is sound and you genuinely need more at the top, that is a different piece of work and we will say so.
