Previous vendor vs Teleroids pod.

01 · The context

Challenge

The client had built a NIS-2 readiness service but couldn't get CISOs on the phone. Their incumbent vendor was a generalist outbound agency that booked meetings with compliance analysts, not decision-makers. Pipeline was stalling at the wrong seniority.

02 · The approach

Solution

Teleroids assigned three reps each with prior experience selling into CISO buyer groups. Scripts rebuilt around peer case studies from matched industry verticals (automotive, insurance, logistics). Dial hours restricted to 07:30–08:30 and 16:30–18:00 per our CISO-dial-hour research.

03 · The outcome

Results

CISO meeting volume up 6x in the first eight weeks. Because the reps qualified correctly at the top of the funnel, meeting-to-opp rate held at 36% (versus 11% under the previous vendor), and sales conversion across the full funnel lifted 19%. Average deal size rose 22% because the client was finally reaching buyers who could sign.

The first vendor booked us 40 meetings with the wrong people. Teleroids booked us 60 with the right people. That is the entire difference.
