What These Case Studies Have in Common
Every campaign above follows the same infrastructure-first methodology: enterprise-grade deliverability (private Azure hosting, dedicated U.S. IPs, 100+ Outlook inboxes), six-source verified prospect lists, and messaging built around the prospect’s specific business context rather than generic service descriptions. The variation is in the results — and the variation tracks to three factors: deal size, sales cycle length, and how well the client’s team converts meetings to revenue. A 70% close rate (Convert) produces a 57.3x return on the same infrastructure that produces 3.2x when the close rate is lower (App Labs). The meetings and lead quality are consistent. The downstream conversion is what separates a good campaign from a historic one.How to Read These Case Studies
Each case study follows a consistent structure so you can compare apples to apples across all engagements:Hero Metrics
Total spend, revenue generated, ROI multiple, meetings booked, and cost per meeting — all calculated on cash collected, not contract value or projected pipeline.
The Challenge
What the client was dealing with before Outbound System, including specific before/after comparisons and the approaches that had already failed.
The Solution
Channel-by-channel breakdown of what was deployed (cold email, LinkedIn, AI calling), the specific messaging strategy, and the “beyond the meetings” insights the campaign uncovered.

Every case study above started with a single conversation about the client’s ICP, deal size, and pipeline goals. If you sell B2B and your average deal is worth $5K+, the math on outsourced outbound works.

How is ROI calculated in these case studies?
How is ROI calculated in these case studies?
ROI is expressed as a return multiple on cash collected, not contract value or projected pipeline. The formula: Revenue Generated / Total Spend. If a client spent 90,000 in actual revenue from deals closed through the campaign, that’s a 15.7x return. Revenue figures are reported directly by clients and reflect money that hit their bank account.
What's the average cost per meeting across all 44 clients?
What's the average cost per meeting across all 44 clients?
The median cost per booked meeting across all 44 campaigns is 64 (Convert, DTC advertising) to $720 (Telescope, enterprise CPG). Cost per meeting correlates with target market sophistication — enterprise SaaS and Fortune 500 CPG meetings cost more to generate than SMB service business meetings. In all cases, the cost per meeting is a fraction of the revenue each meeting produces.
Do these results include every client, or just the best ones?
Do these results include every client, or just the best ones?
Every client engagement is included. The lowest ROI in the portfolio is 3.2x (App Labs), and even that engagement produced a positive return within 60 days. There is no selection bias — these 44 case studies represent the full body of documented client results, ranging from 3.2x to 58.9x ROI.
How long does it typically take to see results?
How long does it typically take to see results?
Most campaigns generate first qualified responses within 5-11 days of launch. First meetings typically book within the first 2-3 weeks. Full campaign momentum — where compounding pipeline and optimized messaging produce peak results — generally takes 60-90 days. Some campaigns (FireVibe, Manifaith, Ocean, 3rd Degree Screening, Employee Cycle) produced significant revenue within 30 days.
What industries have the strongest results?
What industries have the strongest results?
The highest ROI campaigns span multiple industries: advertising (AVID Media, 58.9x), DTC e-commerce (Convert, 57.3x), video production (Manifaith, 50.7x), and manufacturing (PlantSwitch, 29.6x). Agencies and professional services represent the largest category with 14 case studies, but enterprise SaaS (Automation Anywhere, 23.3x) and financial services (Equity Front Capital, 19.3x) also produce consistently strong results. The common factor isn’t industry — it’s deal size and sales team conversion ability.
What if my industry isn't represented here?
What if my industry isn't represented here?
These 44 case studies span SaaS, agencies, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, energy, real estate, HR services, events, construction, market research, and blockchain. The underlying methodology — infrastructure-first deliverability, six-source verified lists, and context-specific messaging — applies to any B2B company where the average deal value justifies outbound investment (generally $5K+). If your industry isn’t listed, the strategy call covers whether outbound fits your specific market dynamics.
