L'entreprise

Edflex is an e-learning platform that had just raised €5 million in 2021 to fund its expansion. With aggressive targets ahead, they needed to grow acquisition channels, sequence funnel stages properly, and sort out their team structure, all at the same time.

Challenge & Objectif

Challenge

Building inbound, outbound and nurturing engines to support scale

When Edflex came to us, they were trying to do three things at once: open new acquisition channels, build a sequenced funnel, and scale their team during a period of fast growth. Finding the right balance between those three was the core problem. We were brought in to:

  • Build an inbound growth machine: identify the best acquisition strategies to generate high MQL volumes and structure the team to sustain them.
  • Build an outbound growth machine: set up and document outbound processes to generate as many SQLs as possible.
  • Build a nurturing machine: create a system to move MQLs steadily toward SQL status.

Strategy

Growth execution: scaling acquisition through testing, structure and process

  • Launched content production to feed inbound acquisition.
  • A/B tested inbound acquisition channels at scale.
  • Set up multi-channel outbound campaigns.
  • Built outbound into team processes and workflows.
  • Reorganized the growth team structure.
  • Launched nurturing campaigns.

Results

Lower CPL with scaled inbound and outbound activity

  • 30% cost per lead
  • x2 inbound and nurturing actions
  • x3 outbound actions

Stratégie

To remember

  • A/B testing across acquisition channels showed clearly which ones produced MQLs at acceptable cost. That clarity led to better budget allocation and less wasted spend.
  • Running inbound and outbound together produced better results than either would have alone. Combining both let Edflex reach a wider audience and convert more of it.
