FrontM — Outbound-Led Enterprise Pipeline (Maritime)

How we generated 74 meetings a quarter in a heavily regulated, enterprise market

FrontM's frontline engagement platform sold well whenever the CEO was in the room. The problem was building more rooms without more CEO.

The Challenge

A founder who was the entire pipeline

Founder-led sales was unscalable — the CEO was flying to international events twice a quarter and personally running every 1:1 meeting. Partner channels brought in business, but complicated the sales narrative and the wider GTM.

Enterprise pipeline took 12 to 36 months to mature, and the cold outbound sitting underneath it was fragmented, running at low sending volumes with no repeatable system behind it.

What We Did

Two moves to build a pipeline the founder didn't have to carry

Mapped the real ICP from the CRM

Dived into the CRM to find the best-fit ICPs and built a targeted prospect list around accounts where FrontM already had demonstrated outcomes.

Launched a survey-led outreach motion

Ran LinkedIn and email outreach to decision-makers, proposing participation in a market survey — a lower-friction opener than a pitch in a market this regulated.

Outbound scaled from a fragmented, low-volume channel into 23–27 qualified meetings every month.
