# “We spent 18 months generating MQLs and got 20 meetings. We spent 30 days with LeadGenius and got 95 qualified leads and 6 customers. That says it all.”

Head of ABM and Business Development

## Our Values

### Key Metrics

- 30% increase in pipeline coverage
- 2x more booked meetings
- Faster deal cycles with full buying committee visibility
- Improved accuracy across CRM and outreach

### The Problem: High Volume, Low Yield

A Microsoft Dynamics 365 Partner had spent 18 months generating **over 1,200 MQLs** through webinars, whitepapers, and in-house outbound. But despite the volume, the results were disappointing:

- **Fewer than 20 meetings booked**
- No clear buyer signals or verified contact roles
- Reps left to do their own research, killing productivity

They were sitting on a sea of top-of-funnel data, but none of it was turning into real conversations.

### The Pivot: Investing Microsoft Co-op Funds in Contact Activation

Instead of continuing with the same motion, the partner **redirected $19,000 in Microsoft Co-op Funds** into a **LeadGenius Contact Activation campaign**—a performance-based lead generation program designed to turn content and account lists into actual conversations.

**Campaign Objectives:**

- Activate dormant accounts from CloudAscent MALs
- Identify real Dynamics 365 decision-makers by title and function
- Use the partner’s existing content as bait (guides, case studies, white papers)
- Validate interest with live outbound calling, custom questions on forms fills, etc.

### The Results

Within 30 days, LeadGenius delivered:

- **95 fully qualified Leads (MLs, MILs, MQILs, SLs)**
- Each SL verified through:
  - A content download
  - 3 custom qualification questions
  - **Live-call confirmation** with a decision-maker or budget holder
- Leads included verified titles, firmographics, and solution interest
- 11 Opportunities worth $640,000 in pipeline created within 60 days of launch

Most importantly, **every dollar of the $19,000 investment was eligible for reimbursement** via Microsoft’s co-op claims process.

### Why This Worked (And Why ZoomInfo Didn’t)

Most data vendors provide stale contact info or generic enrichment. That wasn’t enough.

LeadGenius delivered:

- **Verified contacts, not just accounts** — including titles like Director of Business Applications, Head of IT, and Practice Leaders
- **Multi-layer qualification** — combining firmographic filters, tech installs, and live interest signals
- **Rapid lead activation** — with daily lead delivery and full CRM integration

### How Microsoft Co-op Made This Free

This campaign was:

- Built on Microsoft’s approved CloudAscent MALs
- Executed with approved co-op claim documentation
- Fully reimbursed within the partner's existing co-op allocation

The result? A pipeline-generating campaign with **zero net cost** to the partner.
