Sales Process before engaging GrowthGenius

Abacus was not using any outbound activities before engaging GrowthGenius.

They were mainly relying on their network and referrals as inbound strategies to generate leads alongside channel partnerships.

Abacus had inbound leads coming in twice a week and about 25% of those leads closed.

Why GrowthGenius?

“We wanted scale and a repeatable process to generate leads. Common problem with companies like ours is that you grow and you rely on your relationships and it is all kind of founder centric. A, there is a limit to that and B it is not the best use of your time. That is where we wanted GrowthGenius to come in — to create a consistent pipeline of leads that we can close to scale.”

Peter Reitano, CEO at Abacus

Abacus X GrowthGenius

Over the course of 9 months, Abacus has received 188 sales qualified inbound leads which has led to meetings with a number of their ideal customers including NBA, Forbes, Eddie Bauer, IBM and Logitech.

Abacus is continuing to engage GrowthGenius as a service provider.

“Knowing that there is someone working in the background generating these leads is great!”
