How we built m3ter a signal-led GTM engine that generated $4.6M in total pipeline and ran through to acquisition by Salesforce.
m3ter, a Salesforce-backed usage-based billing platform ($35.7M raised), needed a repeatable outbound system to reach enterprise buyers without relying on founder networks. We built a signal-led outbound engine on Clay, Instantly, Prospeo, and HubSpot alongside LinkedIn Ads, generating $4.6M in total pipeline ($2.4M from outbound, $2.2M ads-influenced), 42 exact-fit enterprise meetings, and $447K in closed-won revenue over 13 months. The system was still running when Salesforce acquired the company.
Advanced Client built m3ter a signal-led GTM engine on Clay, Instantly, Prospeo, and LinkedIn Ads that generated 42 enterprise meetings, $4.6M total pipeline ($2.4M outbound, $2.2M ads-influenced), and $447K closed-won over 13 months, running autonomously through to acquisition by Salesforce.
A category leader with no systematic outbound engine.
m3ter is a Salesforce-backed, $35.7M-funded usage-based billing platform selling into enterprise finance, billing, and infrastructure teams. They had inbound and reputation working in their favour - what they didn't have was a way to create pipeline on demand. Outbound had never been built as a real system. Pipeline relied on what came in, not what they went after.
The problem was not effort - it was architecture. m3ter's sales team were capable closers, but they had no system feeding them the right accounts at the right time. Every meeting required manual research, manual outreach, and manual follow-up. We needed to build the engine that made pipeline predictable.
Signal-led targeting with phone-first conversion.
- 312 named accounts across three ICP segments - finance and billing leaders at SaaS, infrastructure, and platform companies. Each segment had different pains, different language, different proof points.
- Clay signal engine - monitoring hiring patterns, funding rounds, tech stack changes, and product launches to identify buying windows across all 312 accounts in real time.
- Multi-channel outbound sequences - personalised per ICP segment, triggered by live buying signals. Email as the primary channel, phone for high-signal accounts.
- HubSpot pipeline integration - automated routing, meeting attribution, and stage tracking so every touchpoint was measurable and every meeting was accountable.
A signal-led outbound engine across EMEA and North America.
The system was built end-to-end in four weeks: Clay signal workflows, Instantly email infrastructure, Prospeo enrichment pipelines, and HubSpot routing - all connected and producing pipeline from month one.
