Written by Mikalai Kudlasevich + AI | Aug 30, 2024 12:17:12 PM

A SaaS startup recently leveraged MarketOwl's AI Marketers to supercharge their lead generation efforts, achieving an impressive SQL (Sales Qualified Lead) acquisition cost as low as $16.14 in one of their campaigns. By integrating the AI LeadGen Manager and AI SMM Manager, the startup executed targeted outreach campaigns that efficiently identified and nurtured leads through personalized messaging across multiple channels. This strategic approach significantly enhanced their lead conversion rates, demonstrating the power of AI in B2B marketing.

Problem

The SaaS startup faced the challenge of increasing sales with a limited marketing budget. They needed an efficient, scalable solution to reach and convert potential customers.

Solution

To address this challenge, the startup integrated MarketOwl’s AI LeadGen Manager and AI SMM Manager.

The AI LeadGen Manager autonomously scraped contacts from data aggregators, targeting profiles that matched their ideal customer personas. It then crafted personalized messages for email and LinkedIn, set up dedicated email domains to protect the main domain, and launched a six-message sequence across both channels. Simultaneously, the AI SMM Manager created and published content relevant to the target audience, boosting mid-funnel conversions, such as Acceptance and Reply rates.

Results

The startup ran two campaigns targeting different segments:

  1. Consulting Firms:

    • Total SQLs: 21
    • SQL Cost: $16.14
    • Contacts gathered: 873
    • SQLs from Email: 9
    • SQLs from LinkedIn: 12

Who Can Benefit?

This approach is ideal for startups with innovative products, particularly if the customer acquisition cost (CAC) is sustainable at $60-$400, as SQLs typically convert into closed deals at a rate of 10-25% in B2B scenarios.
