| We’re working on an AI-powered platform that helps executive search firms generate candidate market maps - fast. A couple of weeks ago, we ran an outbound experiment on LinkedIn:
- Cold DM to a hiring manager
- 1 demo call (30 minutes)
- Closed €2,000 pilot project
- Delivered in 5 days
- 7 days later: same client came back and prepaid €15,000 for 10 more projects Total: €17k closed in 14 days, from first message to payment. That’s our fastest B2B conversion to date. Key elements we think made it work:
- Specific pain point (slow hiring / manual market mapping)
- Simple offer (fixed scope, low friction)
- Speed: we delivered before their internal team even started Results = best sales pitch Now we’re thinking: how can we make this repeatable? If you’ve closed early sales fast - what made it work?
And if you’ve productized AI-powered services, how did you keep margins & speed? |
