The challenge
A Bangalore agile consultancy with 50+ clients was launching executive seminars in Malaysia, a country where it had no network yet.
What we did
- Worked with the principal consultant to turn a complex service into plain benefits an executive would care about.
- Built a tight list of C-level people at Malaysia's biggest corporations.
- Tested two versions of each message all year and kept the winners.
- Accepted33% of LinkedIn invitations
- Replied37% of connections wrote back
- Qualified54 sales qualified leads
What worked
Reply rates rose through the year as the copy got sharper.
What slowed results, and what we changed
What slowed it
A new market. The firm had no network in Malaysia, and its service was hard to explain in one line.
What we changed
The service was rewritten as plain benefits, and two versions of every message ran all year. The winners stayed.
Client names are kept private. Each campaign was led by our founder, and every figure comes from the campaign's own report.
