The Challenge
Before Working With Us
  • Only 12 inbound leads per month — 60% unqualified (students, residential homeowners)
  • 18-month average sales cycle — too long for aggressive growth targets
  • Overwhelmed 3-person marketing team — couldn't support 22-rep sales team
  • Generic content focused on features — not resonating with building owner priorities
  • Losing deals to larger competitors — despite having superior technology

"Our sales reps were spending 70% of their time cold calling. We had brilliant technology but no way to communicate its value to building owners who don't think in terms of 'sensor accuracy' and 'API integrations.'"
David Kaczmarek, CEO of Automa

Before working with them, our marketing was a mess. In 90 days, everything changed. The ROI calculator alone generated more qualified leads than we'd gotten in the previous 6 months combined. We were skeptical about the 67-demo guarantee. They delivered exactly 67—all documented and auditable. Our board was impressed.
