The challenge

Impart had a closer who could convert — but no inbound pipeline. Cold email wasn't cutting through to product security leaders, and referrals had a ceiling. They needed a dedicated outbound engine, fast.

What SmartBound did

We built targeted contact lists of product security leaders and launched a phone-first campaign. Over the first weeks we iterated on messaging across multiple segments, then scaled what resonated across Impart's full ICP.

The outcome

Over six months, SmartBound averaged 2.5 net-new booked meetings per week — from enterprise logos like Visa, Mastercard, Brex, and Airbnb to high-fit startups — consistently fueling the closing team.

When we came to SmartBound, we were skeptical that phone could be a viable channel to reach cybersecurity and product leaders. Kevin and his team quickly put together a calling campaign that produced results over a long period of time. What stood out was their ability to experiment to find the right message for our specific market — and we were able to open up a whole ton of pipeline worth well over one million dollars.

The challenge

Informed Medical had never run outbound calls. They were skeptical phone could reach niche healthcare buyers — and uncertain whether reliable data for their target segment even existed.

What SmartBound did

We launched and immediately tested our ICP assumptions. After 15–20 conversations it was clear we were targeting the wrong level. We pivoted — moving down to the practitioners directly affected by Informed Medical's product. That shift changed everything.

The outcome

In three months, SmartBound booked over 50 qualified meetings directly for the CRO. Informed Medical closed 6+ new customers on annual recurring subscriptions, with additional deals still active at engagement close.

When we started working with SmartBound, we had never made outbound calls. At the start, the campaigns struggled — but Kevin, Oliver, and the team continually pivoted until we found a working strategy on the phone. We had more than 50 meetings scheduled by SmartBound and have landed over 5 new paying customers, with many more still in the pipeline.

Meetings set for Tali Rappaport, Founder
The challenge

Puck's BDR left and one AE went on maternity leave, leaving founder Tali Rappaport without anyone generating top-of-funnel pipeline. She needed someone to step in immediately and keep conversations moving in the HR market.

What SmartBound did

SmartBound stepped in exactly where the BDR left off — no lengthy ramp. We ran a cold calling campaign into the HR market and quickly outperformed the conversion rate the BDR team had established, keeping Tali's calendar full throughout the disruption.

The outcome

We generated an average of 2 net-new, ice-cold outbound meetings per week, producing hundreds of thousands of dollars in pipeline. Puck's revenue engine kept running when it could have stalled entirely.

YC-backed at Seed stage. No formal quote on file — but Tali trusted SmartBound to protect Puck's pipeline through one of the most vulnerable moments a startup can face.
