Overview

Doğucan started his lead generation agency just a few months ago. Initially, he used Apollo but struggled to generate results. After learning cold email techniques from ListKit’s community, he switched to ListKit for his lead generation efforts. Doğucan booked 8 calls and signed his first client, with a second client in progress. By using ListKit's triple-verified leads and benefiting from the coaching calls provided, he was able to optimize his outreach and see a substantial improvement.

Here’s how ListKit played a critical role in his success:

Results

By the Numbers:

  • 8 calls booked from a 10,000-lead list
  • 35-40 positive replies
  • $297 investment led to a client acquisition cost of just $37 per booked call
  • 1 client signed, with another likely to close soon

What It Meant for the Business:

  • Improved Response Rates: By switching from Apollo to ListKit’s triple-verified leads, Doğucan saw a significant increase in responses, resulting in 35-40 positive replies.
  • Cost-Effective Acquisition: The ability to book calls at a cost of only $37 per call made ListKit an extremely cost-effective lead generation solution for his new agency.
  • Conversion Strategy: With support from ListKit’s coaching community, Doğucan improved his email follow-ups and learned how to convert positive replies into booked calls more effectively.
  • Sustainable Business Growth: Signing his first client through cold email validated the scalability of the strategy, and the second client expected to close soon promises a growing revenue stream.
