A LinkedIn launchpad for small firms
Prove it in four months. Then go month to month.
Signing away a year before anyone has earned you a client is a lot to ask of a small business. We ask for four months. Our team finds your buyers on LinkedIn, starts the conversations from your own profile and coaches you through each sales call until the deal is yours.
Clients close 1 to 3 new deals a month85% of clients close a deal before the 90-day point of the pilot
The pilot, month by month
Your four months, one step at a time
A good jump needs a good run-up. We aim at the people most likely to buy, reach them when the timing suits, and tighten the aim each week. Here is what each stretch of the run-up looks like.
-
Week one
We learn who buys from you
Kickoff is where we sketch your buyer, using your strongest current clients as the template. About a week later, your launch specialist sends the campaign off the board.
-
Month one
Messages start going out
Your writer shapes each message the way you would say it, and you sign off before anything leaves. Connection requests and follow-ups are then sent every day under your name on LinkedIn, aimed at a list your Sales Navigator expert keeps pruning and growing.
-
Month two
Week by week, the aim improves
Each week from launch we study who answered and who stayed quiet, then retune the list and rework the copy. Rewrites never run out.
-
Month three
Replies become sales calls
The leads that land on your desk are the interested ones only, and each arrives with a quick profile, what they wrote back and a reply we have drafted for you. Each week you and your strategist meet to rehearse the sales conversations coming up and pick apart the ones just finished. Within 90 days, 85% of clients have closed one.
-
Month four
You decide what happens next
You judge the work by what it produced for your business. Keep going month to month, or stop there. No long-term contract is waiting for you.
What the four months ask of you
- Approve each message before it goes out
- Respond to warm prospects, starting from our suggested wording
- Take the sales calls yourself
- Show up for a brief weekly check-in with your strategist
Four people working your account
- A launch specialist who gets you live
- A Sales Navigator expert who builds your buyer list
- A writer who sounds like you on every message
- A strategist who coaches you toward the close
Real people, every one of them based in the US.
What backs the pilot
Four months, with a guarantee behind them
Finish the pilot without a closed deal and our fee is what takes the hit. You are not the only one with something riding on these four months.
We would rather earn the next month than lock you into the next twelve. The guarantee is part of how we hold ourselves to that. Raise it during your strategy call to hear exactly how it works.
Inside the pilot
Six small businesses that put us to the test
Here is what six clients have to show for their time with us, from signed deals to full pipelines. We keep client names private.

Sized for a founder and a few hands
For more than ten years, our team's whole job has been filling small-business pipelines. A typical SpringBoard client is a founder plus a few colleagues, ten people or fewer, and nobody whose title says sales. A big agency would file you under small accounts. Here you are the reason the service exists.
The prospecting desk you never hired
You have no sales team, and you don't need one to start. We find the buyers and open the conversations. You step in when someone is ready to talk.
Your share of the work stays light
You sign off on messages, answer the warm ones, run your sales calls and join one brief check-in each week. Everything else sits with us.
Spend that has to earn its keep
Hence four months with a guarantee attached, in place of a twelve-month commitment you can't test first.
The pilot does its best work when
- Your deals are with companies or with high-net-worth individuals
- Every client you sign is worth at least $5,000 to you
- You are the one taking the sales calls
- You have paying customers today and room on the roster for more
If that sounds like you, the call is the quickest way to find out what a pilot would look like.
Fair things to ask
Before you commit to four months
The things founders tend to ask us first. Anything else, bring it to the call.
What happens when the pilot ends?
You carry on month to month, or you stop. There is no long-term contract to work your way out of.
Do you close the deals for me?
No. We coach. You close. Your strategist gets you ready before every sales conversation and helps you steer buyers toward yes, but the conversation is yours, and so is the relationship.
How soon does the campaign start?
Roughly seven days after kickoff it goes live. Every week after that, the team studies the replies and tunes it.
Will you promise me a set number of meetings?
No. A meeting count doesn't pay your bills. We judge the pilot by closed deals, and that is what your strategist works toward with you every week.
Whose name is on the messages?
Yours. Every invitation and follow-up is sent under your own name on LinkedIn. A SpringBoard writer drafts it to sound like you, and nothing leaves until you sign off. The relationships you build stay with you.
How does the guarantee work?
Should your four months end with no deal closed, our fee absorbs the hit. Ask about it in your strategy call; you will hear the full details before you commit to anything.
Which industries do you work with?
Our team has worked across more than 25 of them. The better test is who signs your checks and what each signature is worth: companies or high-net-worth individuals, at $5,000 or more per new client.
