An AI SDR system that tripled qualified pipeline

Replacing spray-and-pray marketplace acquisition with an AI outbound and qualification engine that cut acquisition cost by forty-four percent.

Client: Meridian Trade

-44%

repeat-order rate after retention rebuild

The problem

Meridian Trade was buying both sides of its marketplace with paid spend. Buyer acquisition costs kept climbing while most acquired accounts ordered once and disappeared. The growth team was scaling a leaky bucket.

The strategy

Replace volume with intent. We designed an AI SDR system that identifies high-intent buyer segments from platform and external signals, researches each account, and runs personalised outreach that reads like it came from a knowledgeable trade specialist, because the underlying data is real.

The execution

  1. 01Buyer-intent model trained on two years of order and browsing behaviour
  2. 02AI research and personalisation layer generating account-specific outreach
  3. 03Qualification agent scoring responses and routing hot accounts to the sales team
  4. 04Automated reorder journeys triggered by consumption-cycle predictions
  5. 05Weekly conversion tuning against cohort data for two quarters

The outcome

Qualified buyer pipeline tripled while cost per qualified account fell forty-four percent. Combined with the retention rebuild, Meridian reached its first contribution-margin-positive quarter. The system now runs with one operator overseeing what previously occupied a team of five.
