How RevoGTM Went From Multiple 6-Figures in Lost Deals to a 55% Show Rate and 25% Close Rate
Client: RevoGTM - High-velocity GTM outbound agency specializing in email, LinkedIn, and phone prospecting for B2B companies.
Founder: Nick Block
Company: RevoGTM on LinkedIn
Problem: Frontend lead handling was non-existent due to operational overload
Result: 55% show rate, 25% close rate on ice cold traffic, $200k+/month in attributed value
The Problem
Before working with Cedar Operations, RevoGTM had a pipeline problem, but not the kind you would expect.
They were booking calls. They had leads coming in. But their frontend lead handling was completely broken.
"The biggest operational headache was handling frontend lead handling," says Nick Block, Founder of RevoGTM. "It cost more in dollars than time because it just was not being done due to operational overload."
The result? Multiple six figures in deals that could have closed just slipped through the cracks.
No follow-up system. No nurture. No context for setters. Just leads booking calls and showing up cold, if they showed up at all.
The Solution
We built a complete frontend revenue operations system from scratch.
What we installed:
- Pre-call nurture sequences (5-day email + SMS drip that warms leads before the call)
- Automatic reminders and follow-up (no more leads ghosting because nobody pinged them)
- Lead attribution and tracking (know exactly where every deal came from)
- Setter context and call prep (setters walk into calls with full context, not cold)
- Client onboarding workflows (contract signed to kickoff without manual handoffs)
- Contract management and tracking (nothing falls through the cracks post-close)
The goal: turn cold leads into warm, qualified prospects before they ever got on a call. Not with more salespeople. With systems.
The Results
Show Rate: 55%
Industry standard for cold traffic is 20-30%. RevoGTM nearly doubled it. When leads show up warm instead of cold, everything downstream improves.
Close Rate: 25%
On ice cold traffic. Not warm referrals. Not inbound. Cold outbound leads closing at 1 in 4. That is what happens when the nurture system does its job before the call starts.
Attributed Value: $200k+/month
"Having a set and forget frontend that turns cold leads into warm leads is invaluable," Nick says.
The $20k Call
"Had a call last week with a guy who literally made a comment because of how much pre-call nurture we were sending him. One call closed for $20k in under 30 minutes."
That is the system working. The lead showed up warm, pre-sold, and ready to buy because the nurture sequence had already built trust and context before anyone from the team touched the deal.
What Changed Operationally
Before Cedar, RevoGTM's frontend was manual. Leads booked calls through a form, and everything after that depended on someone remembering to follow up. Setters had no context. Reminders were inconsistent. The nurture was nonexistent.
After the buildout:
- Leads enter a defined system the moment they book. No human intervention needed until the call.
- Setters get full context on every lead before the call starts: where they came from, what they engaged with, what nurture they received.
- Follow-up is handled by the system. No-shows get re-engaged. Prospects who go quiet get pulled back in.
- Attribution is clean. RevoGTM knows exactly which channels and campaigns produce deals, not just leads.
Nick's Advice for Other Agencies
"I would only recommend you work with Cedar if you already have pipeline or client acquisition worth scaling. A proper revenue operations system can infinitely scale on something people want. I would look internally if you are not booking consistent calls to fix that first."
This is not a lead generation fix. This is a revenue operations multiplier.
If you already have calls coming in but you are losing deals to operational chaos, no follow-up, cold prospects on calls, leads slipping through cracks, that is exactly where systems make the biggest difference.
The One-Liner
"Turned our outbound system from spray and pray to repeatable and closable pipeline."
