The Problem

Marcus had built an exceptional data integration platform. DataSync Pro was solving real problems for mid-market companies. The product-market fit was there. The challenge? Getting in front of the right decision-makers.

What Wasn't Working

  • Spending 15+ hours/week manually researching prospects on LinkedIn
  • Generic cold emails getting 1-2% reply rates
  • Hiring freelancers to scrape leads resulted in outdated, bounced emails
  • Paying $800/month for 3 different tools that didn't talk to each other
  • Data scattered across Google Sheets, Airtable, and CRM—impossible to track

I was drowning in busywork. I'd spend all morning researching a prospect, crafting what I thought was a personalized email, and then... crickets. Maybe one reply out of fifty. It was soul-crushing.

— Marcus Chen, Founder

The breaking point came when Marcus calculated his actual cost per lead. Between his time, tool subscriptions, and the freelancer fees, each qualified conversation was costing him over $400. At his price point, that math didn't work.

The Solution

Marcus discovered Suplex through a founder friend's recommendation. What sold him was the local-first approach—his prospect data would stay on his machine, not in some cloud database he'd lose access to if he stopped paying.

How Suplex Changed Everything

  • AI-Powered Research: Suplex analyzed each prospect's company, recent news, LinkedIn activity, and pain points automatically
  • Hyper-Personalized Emails: Every message referenced specific details—recent funding rounds, job posts, tech stack changes
  • One-Click Workflow: Find leads, research them, write emails, and send—all from one interface
  • Local Data Storage: All prospect data stored securely on his Mac, with full export capability
  • Smart Rotation: Started with Gmail (50/day), then scaled to rotated accounts as results improved

The AI research is scary good. It found angles I never would have thought of—like noticing a prospect's competitor had just shut down, or they posted about a specific integration pain point. Every email feels like I spent 20 minutes researching, but Suplex did it in seconds.

— Marcus Chen, on the AI personalization

Suplex didn't just improve my outreach—it made it sustainable. I went from dreading cold email to having a predictable growth engine. In month two, I closed $180K in ARR directly from Suplex-sourced leads. Best investment I've made for the business.
