THE STARTING POINT

SeedPod had a differentiated offer, but pipeline still depended on the founder’s network and capacity.

SeedPod had created a new cyber-insurance model for MSPs and their clients. The company had early traction, but sales remained founder-led and inconsistent.

CEO Doug Kreitzberg was taking calls, working his personal network, and trying to create conversations without a dedicated outbound function. Previous agency efforts had underdelivered, which made the company reasonably skeptical that an external partner could understand the model or represent it credibly.

The company did not merely need more names in a database. It needed a person in the seat and a repeatable system around that person.

WHAT PISCES BUILT

The engagement combined talent, positioning, process, technology, and management.

Recruitment and placement. Pisces identified and placed a dedicated SDR who could support SeedPod’s MSP-focused sales motion.

Messaging and positioning. SeedPod was framed not simply as an insurance vendor, but as a growth partner that could help MSPs create recurring revenue while protecting clients.

Onboarding and training. Cold outreach, objection handling, call reviews, talk tracks, campaign refinement, and the company’s proof points were turned into a usable operating playbook.

Sales technology and workflow. The motion launched in Apollo and transitioned into Salesforce once the SDR was ready to operate inside the company’s longer-term system.

Ongoing performance management. Weekly review and coaching created the feedback loop required to improve conversations rather than simply increase activity.

THE SPEED TO PRODUCTIVITY

The SDR was hired, trained, and generating meetings in less than a month.

The onboarding process forced clarity around SeedPod’s ICP, objections, proof points, and value proposition. Within weeks, the company had tested talk tracks, live campaigns, and a dedicated SDR consistently booking eight to ten qualified meetings per week.

The speed mattered because SeedPod could not afford a long experimental runway. The company needed to know whether the sales motion could work, whether the message resonated, and whether a dedicated outbound role could become productive without remaining dependent on the founder.

THE DOCUMENTED BUSINESS OUTCOME

A $7,500 initial investment supported approximately $20K in new monthly recurring revenue within four months.

SeedPod reported an average deal value of approximately $500 per month and a close rate of about 25% on booked meetings.

At the documented meeting pace, the company conservatively attributed approximately $5,000 in new MRR per month to the motion, reaching $20K in new MRR over four months.

The immediate financial result was important. The more durable outcome was that SeedPod now had a repeatable outbound framework and reduced reliance on founder-led sales.

THE CLIENT PERSPECTIVE

“They don’t just hand you a playbook—they put a player on the field, train them, and make sure the whole system runs.”

Doug Kreitzberg, CEO of SeedPod Cyber, described the engagement as transformative for a startup that needed to move from an idea and founder-led effort to a productive outbound motion within months rather than years.

WHAT THIS CASE STUDY SHOWS

A new hire becomes valuable when the company also builds the system required to support the role.

This case shows: A founder-led technology company can install productive outbound capacity quickly when recruitment, positioning, messaging, training, technology, coaching, and accountability are treated as one system.

It does not show: That every SDR will produce the same result, that meeting volume guarantees closed revenue, or that simply placing a salesperson into an underbuilt system will solve a pipeline problem.

Results reflect the documented case-study period and are not guarantees of future performance.

BUILD CAPACITY AROUND THE CONSTRAINT

Before you hire an SDR, determine whether the role has the positioning, process, management, and revenue support required to succeed.
