📈 Case Study: How a 50-Person AI Firm Turned 56K Emails Into $187K+ in Pipeline Revenue with MSP Decision-Makers
How a Lean AI Company Used Email Outreach to Drive $187K in ARR from MSPs
In the increasingly competitive MSP space, standing out requires more than just a great product—it demands a smart, data-driven marketing strategy. A 50-person AI firm specializing in service desk automation proved this with a high-impact email campaign that generated 50 hand-raises, 12+ appointments, and over $187,000 in projected ARR.
Over the course of 15 months, the company sent 56,936 targeted emails to MSP decision-makers. The messaging focused on solving real pain points—reducing L1 ticket volume, increasing response time, and scaling support without increasing headcount. With a delivery rate of 84.12%, an open rate of 48.48%, and a 5.32% click rate, the campaign resonated strongly with its audience.
Most importantly, the campaign produced 50 qualified hand-raises—leads who engaged with the content and filled out a form to learn more. Assuming a 25% appointment conversion rate and a 50% close rate, the effort led to approximately 6 closed deals at $30K ARR each.
This case study demonstrates the power of pairing a high-value product with targeted, high-performing outreach. With a relatively small team, the company leveraged smart messaging and a clean execution strategy to make serious inroads in the MSP market.
If your firm is looking to scale outreach, drive quality appointments, and build predictable pipeline, this playbook proves that it’s not about team size—it’s about strategy.
