The Challenge
Velocity Digital was a thriving 12-person marketing agency serving e-commerce brands. They had a proven track record, stellar case studies, and happy clients. But growth had plateaued.
The Growth Bottleneck
- Manual prospecting consumed 60% of their business development time
- Each personalized email took 12-15 minutes to research and write
- Max capacity: 200 emails/day across the entire team
- Generic templates produced 2% reply rates and damaged their brand
- Client data scattered across 4+ cloud tools created security nightmares
- Adding one SDR would cost $75K/year + tools + management overhead
We were at a crossroads. Either hire a team of SDRs and watch our margins disappear, or find a way to scale with technology. But every tool we tried either lacked personalization or locked us into their cloud ecosystem. Our clients trust us with sensitive data—we couldn't risk it.
The Solution
A fellow agency founder recommended Suplex at a mastermind dinner. Jennifer was skeptical—she'd tried "AI outreach tools" before and they all produced robotic, obvious spam. But the local-first promise caught her attention.
Suplex Implementation Strategy
- Week 1: Migrated all existing prospect data to Suplex's local database
- AI Training: Fed Suplex their best-performing manual emails to match their brand voice
- Segmentation: Created 8 distinct ICP profiles with tailored messaging
- Quality Gates: Set AI confidence thresholds—only send if personalization score >85%
- Scale Safely: Started with Gmail (200/day), then added rotated accounts over 3 weeks

The Results
The transformation was immediate and sustained. Within 6 weeks, Velocity Digital had fundamentally changed their growth trajectory:
Our prospects actually compliment us on our emails now. One CMO told me it was the most thoughtful cold email he'd received all year. Little did he know, AI did the research—but our team reviewed every single one before sending. The human + AI combo is unstoppable.
Suplex isn't just a tool for us—it's our competitive advantage. While other agencies are drowning in manual work or sending spam, we're having meaningful conversations at scale. We booked 47 qualified calls last month alone. And knowing our data is secure on our own machines? That's priceless for our enterprise clients.
