- Accomplishments
A husband and wife, each with 15–20 years of corporate experience, left their jobs to start a micro bootstrapped venture in the solar solutions space.
The startup focuses on B2B solar installations, offering high-impact energy-saving solutions to commercial, industrial, and institutional clients.
With limited resources and no marketing team, they needed a predictable, scalable way to generate business.
Wanted to professionalize their GTM motion and build credibility despite being a small founder-led company.
Inconsistent lead flow due to ad-hoc outreach and limited market visibility.
Difficulty identifying the right customer segments, leading to wasted time on low-value prospects.
No structured B2B pipeline or digital presence to position themselves competitively against larger players.
Challenges in converting conversations into qualified opportunities due to lack of messaging clarity.
- Built a sharp Ideal Customer Profile to focus efforts on high-potential commercial, industrial, and institutional clients.
- Created a complete ABM-driven outreach engine across LinkedIn, email, and targeted industry lists.
- Developed founder-led positioning and messaging to highlight expertise, credibility, and ROI-based outcomes.
- Implemented a simple but effective CRM and qualification workflow to manage pipeline and improve conversion.
Generated a steady flow of qualified B2B opportunities, securing 16 high-quality corporate leads within 60 days despite being a bootstrapped micro business.
Improved conversion outcomes with 2 enterprise clients signed within 90 days by targeting only ICP-aligned accounts and decision-makers.
Elevated brand credibility through consistent communication, refined messaging, and case-led storytelling.
Enabled the founders to scale outreach, increase meeting bookings, and position themselves as a trusted, high-value solution provider.
