Funnel Bakers

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a Partner Success Manager at a web development, optimization, and lifecycle marketing agency with about 20 employees. We serve mostly ecommerce merchants in the US and I oversee Business Development, Partnerships, and customer success.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Quilqy?

We were looking for a partner to help with lead research specifically to find data points that would help us in cold outreach for lead generation.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to increase the amount of outbound prospecting emails we were sending.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We selected this vendor based off of a referral. After meeting with them it was clear that they were experts in this space.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

After the initial discovery meeting, we filled out our ideal customer profile and sent over all the data points we needed for the target accounts. From there we were given a slack channel and were able to communicate throughout the project which really made Quilqy feel like a true partner.

What was the team composition?

I've worked closely with the CEO and two of the lead researchers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Since working with Quilqy, we've tippled the amount of outbound prospecting volume and decreased our bounce rate to virtually zero.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Quilqy did a great job with project management. Having direct access to the the CEO and some of the researchers through Slack made communication a breeze.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Quilqy is very strong. Many other vendors have difficulty understanding the tasks and deliverables, but Quilqy just gets it.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Quilqy can improve on understanding the initial scope of work, but because of their open line of communication things are fixed immediately.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Our lead generation and sales development solutions help companies of all sizes accelerate their growth. We combine proven strategies, awesome sales technologies and dedicated experienced human resources to deliver a predictable stream of qualified leads for growing sales, marketing & business development teams.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Quilqy?

We hired Quilqy team to outsource copy needs, mainly web content and outreach messaging (email campaigns)

What were your goals for this project?

Website content had to reflect our services and speciality when sales copy should have triggered right emotions and desires to improve conversions.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I used to work with Oleg (founder) previously so I decided to trust him and do the job.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

Website:

• Plan website structure
• Plan page structure
• Execute copyrighting as well as design of graphics

Email Marketing Content - Here things were a little more complicated:

• Sales copy should have been adjusted a couple of times due to statistic's fluctuation. And that's alright, as that's the way outbound works

What was the team composition?

The team was quick on the uptake and executed their obligations.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Deep research, personalised sales copy and KPI driven strategy of Quilqy's led to high conversion rate when we penetrated IT&Software market. We hit 43% open rate, 9% reply rate and 1.5% appointment rate. Impressive.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It was great. The communication was through Slack and Zoom (on a weekly bases. so the team could report on progress)

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Creativity. Passion. Extra mile. Our messaging had 15 personalized data points!

Are there any areas for improvement?

There always are. But. I am totally impressed and satisfied.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and position.

I am an executive at WeatherAds

Describe what your company does in a single sentence.

WeatherAds is a weather marketing platform.

We trigger a brand's paid ads, email, SMS and customer journeys automatically the moment real-world conditions move demand in a given market, down to zip-code level, across Google, Meta, TikTok, YouTube, DV360, programmatic, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, email and SMS.

The platform runs off more than 70 signals, from heat index and storm alerts to pollen, air quality and flu surge.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Funnel Bakers to accomplish?

• Run our outbound as our primary acquisition channel. Cold email is effectively the only channel we acquire through, so this is not a side experiment for us.
• Keep every vertical active at once, travel, insurance, apparel, agencies and Salesforce Marketing Cloud partners, instead of starting and stopping campaigns.
• Fix deliverability. Our sending domains had degraded and mail was landing in spam.
• Turn a list of roughly 19,000 companies into usable segments so we knew who was actually worth contacting.
• Get seasonal campaigns live ahead of each season rather than during it.

How many teammates from Funnel Bakers were assigned to this project?

1 Employee

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Funnel Bakers run our outbound end to end. We have no internal SDR function, so they handle everything from who we target to what gets sent and whether it lands in the inbox:

1. Sequence copy for every vertical we sell into, rebuilt seasonally, with a versioned library so hooks are never repeated across campaigns.
2. Weekly lead refills into live sequences, prioritised by seniority tier, so campaigns never run dry.
3. List building and segmentation, including cutting a roughly 19,000 company Salesforce Marketing Cloud list into brands, agencies and partners, with 502 agencies confirmed as Salesforce users.
4. Deliverability management: domain health monitoring, warmup, and swapping weak sending domains for fresh ones.
5. Campaign operations across Apollo and QuickMail, including keeping our opt-out and do-not-contact list synced so anyone who opts out is never contacted again.
6. Weekly planning calls covering cadence, open rates and copy direction, where we agree the next season's themes.
7. Seasonal rebuilds shipped about a month before the season starts, so prospects are primed early.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

1. Deliverability recovered. Our sending domains had dropped to a 68 health score with mail landing in spam. They warmed replacements and swapped them in at 98 and 100.
2. Continuous coverage across every vertical. We see a direct correlation between sequence activity on a vertical and inbound for that vertical, so keeping all of them live matters more to us than any single campaign.
3. A 19,000 company list turned into segmented, prioritised sending queues, including 502 confirmed Salesforce Marketing Cloud agencies, with lead reserves maintained so sequences never stall.
4. Three years of continuous operation with outbound as our primary acquisition channel throughout.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

They run on a weekly rhythm and I do not have to chase them. We have a planning call each week covering cadence, open rates and copy themes, and the work lands between calls without follow-up.

Copy goes out for approval before anything ships and our founder still signs off on tone, so nothing goes live that we have not seen. Change requests come back within the same cycle rather than the next one.

What I value most is that problems reach me already solved. When our domain health degraded, it was raised with warmed replacement domains ready to substitute, not handed to me as a problem to fix.

Autumn is a fair example of the planning: copy was written and approved in late July so campaigns could go live on August 1, ahead of the season instead of during it.

What was your primary form of communication with Funnel Bakers?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They operate like an in-house team rather than a vendor. Outbound is our only real acquisition channel and it has been handed to them completely for three years, including the parts most agencies hand back: deliverability, list hygiene and opt-out compliance.

The other thing is that they update their own playbook. They told us to cut personalization rather than add it, because tighter targeting with less machine-written personalization was performing better and prospects now recognise AI personalization and hold it against you.

Most agencies would have sold us more personalization, not less.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Funnel Bakers could have done differently?

More structured A/B testing. We currently run a single message per sequence rather than split tests, so improvements come from judgment rather than data. Some of that is our own volume constraint, but I would like it built into the rhythm.

Would’ve been nice to have more visibility into performance data mid-campaign without asking. A simple dashboard or check-in rhythm would help.

Project summary
Quilqy provides ongoing advertising and marketing services for a marketing solutions company. The team focuses on research and lead generation to help the client with their overall sales.

Feedback summary
Thanks to Quilqy's hard work, the client has already recorded more than 20 qualified leads since the campaign started. The team sustained a great workflow by conducting weekly findings and results review. Their communication was fantastic.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Marketing Manager at a marketing solutions company based in the Greater Philadelphia area.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Quilqy?

We were looking for an easy, cost effective way to generate leads for our New Mover Marketing solution without adding any extra strain to our small marketing department.

What were your goals for this project?

We were looking to increase qualified leads and overall sales for our new mover marketing solution. We wanted to become the premier choice for healthcare systems in an already crowded space.

SOLUTION

How did you select Quilqy?

This decision was made prior to me joining the Strata team but extensive research was done and the choice was made to go with Quilgy. When I was looking to reopen this lead generation initiative, I decided to go back to Quilgy due to our prior success on previous campaigns over the last several years.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

After we decided to reengage with Quilgy, we outlined the type of target we were looking to engage with, the copy that needed to be utilized in the outreach, the process of how the outreach would launch, and follow up procedures.

From there, the Quligy team began research and setting up domains for the outreach. We had weekly calls to discuss the copy, creative, research, and deliverable to keep to the project on track.

Once all of the task were completed, the baton was passed back to Quilgy to initiate outreach and present findings and analytics for the campaign. Then, as needed, we have modified the outreach, copy and creative for better results.

What was the team composition?

I've worked closely with the principals at Quligy from the start and they're very open to collaboration, presenting ideas and modifying plans as needed.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Since beginning out work, we've brought in 20+ qualified leads from the campaign that otherwise would not have presented themselves.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The project managers and workflow have been great. We check in weekly to review findings and results and we modify as needed. There's never a time that I don't know what's going on or leads in the pipeline. The communication is fantastic.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I've been blown away by the responsiveness and communication that the entire team has. Everything is incredibly organized and timely.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Not at this time.
