Replacing a 4-Person BDR Team With
$2.6M in Qualified Pipeline

Events Budget With No Pipeline to Show. No BDR Team to Fall Back On.
Interactions LLC was spending heavily on trade shows and events, but not seeing meaningful ROI in the form of qualified pipeline.
The client had fired their 4-member BDR team in a cost-cutting exercise and needed to replace them with an external lead generation partner.
With a very narrow Total Addressable Market, only bottom-of-funnel leads (direct sales appointments) were acceptable — not MQLs or HQLs.
Without an internal outbound motion, the sales team was entirely dependent on events and referrals for new business.
