“Client work ends at 9 PM. Then "sales time" starts. The follow-ups from last week are still sitting in drafts.”
Famine months are made during busy months - they're the pipeline you didn't have hands to work.
“The last agency burned us. Six months of retainers, nothing to show for it.”
Alex, live: “That's exactly why this call is different - I'm not asking for a retainer. What would you need to see in the first 30 days to know it's working? Let's make that the test.”
Your delivery hours stay yours. The pipeline fills anyway.
Test this objection liveBusy months starve next quarter.
When delivery is full, prospecting dies. When delivery slacks, the pipe is empty. The team keeps working the list you already paid to build.
What this looks like in agencies
Agencies live on a two-season calendar. When delivery is full, prospecting stops; when delivery slows, the pipeline is empty because nobody prospected. The list you paid to build sits untouched for a quarter at a time. The team's job is to keep working that list while the humans deliver client work: research on each prospect's industry, their last hire, and their site, so the first touch does not sound like every other shop.
Buying groups at a mid-size client run longer than one marketing manager, so the team multi-threads instead of stopping at the first reply. Mia uses the case study you actually have for that vertical and never invents one. Where the offer is self-serve, the agents qualify and book; where it is a scoped engagement, they brief you. Supervision starts cautious: every campaign is approved before it runs, and independence is earned from your own approve, edit, and reject record.
Human SDR figures ($11,200-$12,800 a month fully loaded) derive from The Bridge Group 2025 SDR report (on-target earnings), BLS employer-cost release (employer load on payroll), RepVue (SDR compensation), plus a typical tool stack and a manager's share. The cost-per-meeting figure divides that loaded cost by a 10-14.6 meetings-a-month median; it is derived, not a published price. Our own numbers are plan prices and capacity, never outcome promises. Model it on the AI SDR cost calculator.
Where the week actually leaks.
The moments that decide who gets the deal, and who hears about it after it is gone.
No time for sales
Delivery eats the calendar. That is the whole problem.
Sounds like every other shop
Research on their industry, their last hire, their site. Not a template.
Project revenue
You need a motion that does not wait for a slow month.
Longer buying groups
Multi-thread it. Do not stop at one marketing manager.
What the team does with the leads you give it.
Six specialists and one Brain. Your list, your scripts, your approval before a campaign goes live.
Always-on follow-up
You stay on the reviews until it earns the next inch.
Qualify and book
Close when the offer is self-serve. Brief you when it is not.
Portfolio-aware
Mia uses the case you actually have for that vertical. We do not invent case studies.
Earned Autonomy
It starts cautious and asks. It earns independence from your own approve, edit, and reject record.
Works with your stack.
Lead import from HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive exports or an inbound webhook; booking through Cal.com, Calendly and Google Calendar; anything else can push leads in over an authenticated webhook (Zapier-compatible).
Put this on your leads.
First 30 days on your own pipeline. No card. Live in 72h. No invented case studies for your vertical.
