Key results

Conversion more than doubled

The lead-to-QDM rate climbed from 19.6% in Q2 to 41.5% in Q3. Q3 delivered 43 more leads than Q2 from 176 fewer decision-maker conversations.

A much cleaner list

Bad numbers fell 87%, from 618 in Q2 to 79 in Q3, and list quality rose from 88.0% to 98.2%, so more calling time went to real prospects.

Equipment led the way

Equipment accounted for 217 of the 251 leads (86.5%), followed by Service (25), Parts (7) and Other (2).

A new service opportunity

Service leads first appeared in Q3, a new source of demand that could support its own dedicated outreach track.

Looking ahead

With 972 prospects still on the list and a cleaner list behind it, the campaign is well positioned for a continuation that builds on its Q3 results.
