How Our Lead Generation Service Saved Prosperity.com After Multiple Failed Marketing Channels

The Challenge: On the Brink of Shutting Down

Prosperity.com, a service helping small businesses collect Google reviews through a systematized approach, was facing a critical moment in their business journey after exhausting multiple marketing channels without success.

"We had tried Facebook ads, Google ads, and even some SEO and frankly just weren't having any success with any of them," explained Adam White, co-founder of Prosperity.com. "If we don't figure out something else that works, then we're just going to have to shut the business down essentially because we weren't getting the results we wanted."

The company faced significant challenges with their marketing efforts:

• Failed attempts with Facebook and Google advertising

• Unsuccessful SEO initiatives

• Unprofitable in-house cold calling efforts

• No experience with email outreach

• Limited time before needing to make critical business decisions

"We tried it ourselves a little bit and frankly just didn't really know what we were doing, so it didn't really produce any results," Adam shared about their initial attempts at cold email.

The Solution: Personalized Cold Email at Scale

After partnering with our lead generation service, Prosperity.com gained access to our sophisticated approach combining Clay's data capabilities with AI-enhanced personalization:

• Strategic lead sourcing targeting ideal prospects

• Highly personalized email sequences that resonated with small businesses

• System designed to initiate conversations that founders could then join

• Scalable automation that maintained the personal touch

• Continuous optimization based on response patterns

"The way that you scrape the leads and find the leads - it's just a genius way to do it to where every email seems super personal," Adam noted. "Once they're engaged, then we just kind of insert ourselves into the conversation and are able to book demos and close new clients."

The Results: From Near-Shutdown to Highly Profitable Acquisition Channel

After just a couple of months of working together, Prosperity.com experienced a complete transformation in their business outlook:

• 20 demos in the first full month

• 9 new customers from those demos (45% close rate)

• 1 lead per 80 contacts (4x better than industry average of 1:300-350)

• Financially viable customer acquisition cost relative to lifetime value

• Scalable foundation for continued growth

"The first full month that we worked with you guys, it was just like all of a sudden just everything changed. We're getting interested lead after interested lead just through this cold email sequence that you guys had set up for us," Adam shared. "We couldn't be happier with the results."

The Impact: Business-Saving ROI

The most significant impact for Prosperity.com wasn't just the leads and customers but the fundamental shift in business viability. The company went from considering shutdown to having a highly profitable acquisition channel.

"We were almost desperate like 'how is this going to work?' And now it's extremely profitable for us, knowing what our customer lifetime value is versus the cost of using your service," Adam explained. "It's just working very well. And so now we're at the point where we're like, 'All right, we figured out the messaging that works and the system that works. So now let's just scale this thing up.'"

This transformation came after exhausting virtually every other marketing channel, proving that sometimes the right approach to an established channel can outperform newer, trendier marketing methods.

The Difference: Precision Targeting and Genuine Personalization

What made our approach successful where other marketing channels had failed was the combination of precise targeting and genuine personalization that resonated with Prosperity.com's small business audience.

The dramatic improvement in response rates (4x better than industry average) demonstrated that the approach wasn't just marginally better – it was transformative for their business model, providing a foundation for sustainable growth after a period of uncertainty.
