From Buying Leads
To Generating Leads
Slingshotting from a small company
who bought leads from HomeAdvisor
to a solar brand generating millions in
business every month online.
Summary
We built an inbound lead machine with
a series of landing pages and CTA’s to
boost conversions. Along with
whitepapers, eBooks, checklists, and
videos to generate leads.
We used webinars, FAQ sheets, spec
sheets, and brochures to convert leads
into prospects. This digital journey
generated massive amounts of sales for
Sungevity.

Challenge
Slingshot had an outdated business model
of telemarketing and door-to-door. We
shifted them into a data-driven approach
with segmented lead sequences and
content for unique buyer personas.

● SEGMENTED JOURNEYS
● EMAIL WORKFLOWS

Solutions
Q1
Quick Strike
At this stage, we created the digital
media strategy to drive traffic,
conversions, and leads into the top of
the customer journey with CTA’s and
Landing Pages. Along with simple lead
gen sequences and email workflows.
● $136 COST-PER-LEAD
● 11% SALES CLOSING RATE
● $993 COST-PER-SALE
● $161K IN SALES
Q2
LEAD DOMINATION
This is when we launched an advanced
retargeting campaign and started
nurturing the leads with top-of-funnel
offers such as eBooks, whitepapers,
lists, videos, etc. We start getting
deeper with the email workflows and
email workflows.
● COST-PER-LEAD $36
● CLOSING RATE 15%
● COST-PER-SALE $335
● $2.5M IN SALES
Q3
Inbound Automation
At this stage, we started using
technology to automate and stack
different lead segmentations. We also
take a much more insight-driven
approach to converting leads into
prospects with middle-of-funnel
content offers such as webinars, FAQ
sheets, spec sheets, and brochures.
● $21 COST-PER-LEAD
● 27% SALES CLOSING RATE
● $115 COST-PER-SALE
● $7.7M IN SALES
Data, Analytics,
Behavior Patterns
By gathering intelligence and
segmenting audiences we were able to
nurture leads with personalized
content designed for the individual
which would improve the quality of
sales opportunities and significantly
decrease cost-per-acquisition.
Results
It takes time but once the digital
ecosystem was put together the funnels
started generating predictable leads and
huge ROI.

“We used to buy leads until we met Heist, then we realized we can get a
much better ROI with a sophisticated online strategy”.
