What wasn't working

Our client serves businesses across Spokane and North Idaho. In many mid-size companies there, nobody owns IT full-time, so the person who decides on an MSP is often the controller or head of finance. Those buyers are busy and rarely answer cold outreach, so the campaign had to stay in front of them until the timing was right.
