    01The challenge

    The problem we stepped into.

    Mayple needed a small number of high-value DTC brands with precise fit.

    Targets needed more than $10M in domestic revenue, a manageable product catalogue, strong category fit, and limited international distribution.

    A previous appointment-setting motion had produced unqualified leads, and the first direct-offer campaigns did not create enough meetings.

    03Deliverables

    What we built across the engagement.

    Main focusRelationship-Led Outbound.

    Every engagement runs through the same six steps. Before launch, we agree the target market, decision-makers, exclusions, and Qualified Meeting definition. A meeting counts when the prospect attends and matches the agreed firmographic ICP.

    Phase 01 · Define01

    Define the narrow ICP.

    RevenueFlow and Mayple agreed the revenue threshold, category fit, catalogue limits, international-expansion status, decision-maker roles, exclusions, and Qualified Meeting standard before outreach.

    Phase 02 · Build02

    Build the brand universe.

    RevenueFlow assembled active DTC brand lists, verified founder and executive contacts, built email and LinkedIn cohorts, and created both direct-offer and relationship-led messaging paths.

    Phase 03 · Launch03

    Launch and change the angle.

    The initial direct offer did not produce enough qualified meetings. RevenueFlow stopped scaling the weak play and launched a podcast invitation designed to earn a relationship before introducing the service.

    Phase 04 · Qualify04

    Qualify for commercial fit.

    Positive replies were checked against the agreed brand profile and buying context. The strongest iteration produced 15 meeting-ready leads in nine days, with qualified prospects moved into podcast conversations.

    Phase 05 · Hand off05

    Hand off qualified relationships.

    Qualified brand leaders entered the relationship-led meeting flow. RevenueFlow managed replies, booking, context, and the transition from editorial conversation to commercial follow-up.

    Phase 06 · Improve06

    Improve from the closed deal.

    One of the qualified opportunities became a Mayple customer. The team used that conversion and the weaker early cohorts to sharpen future brand selection, messaging, and qualification.

    Scaling together.

    The engagement showed which part of the funnel needed to change. Relationship-first outreach opened qualified conversations that a direct services pitch could not, while closed-deal feedback gave the team a clearer profile for future targeting.
