Every client keeps the strategy and the close. Here is what the Engine ran for them, and the benchmarks we measure ourselves against.
We never publish client names. Company details below are changed to protect confidentiality; the way each engine ran is real.
B2B software, North America
The ICP decision, every message approval and every sales call, run by the founder.
Segment architecture, signal tracking and multichannel outreach across three segments, live in week two.
Professional services, Canada to US
Positioning for the US market and every client conversation.
US account research, Eastern-time outreach on email and LinkedIn, and verified phone numbers for the partners to call.
Financial technology, UK
The decision on which segment to test and what success looked like.
A focused segment test with its own signal set and sequences, reported weekly so the client could decide with data.
Learning: openers that referenced a hiring signal outperformed pain-point openers. Next week: test the same angle on the second segment.
