Our client, an AI consulting and micro-SaaS company, approached the Unima team with dual objectives:
Execute account-based marketing (ABM) for their enterprise AI consulting services.
Drive adoption of their eCom-focused SaaS products, particularly with eCommerce brands and email marketing agencies.
Although they were strong at generating inbound leads, their outbound efforts weren’t landing. Their engineering-heavy team leaned on technical, feature-first messaging that failed to resonate with decision-makers on an emotional or business level. They needed a partner to reposition their outreach for impact and relevance.
From Feature-Heavy Messaging to Meetings on the Calendar
Turning Complex Technology Into Business Conversation
Why They Chose Unima
The client recognized that while their technology was strong, their outbound strategy lacked clarity and resonance. They chose Unima to translate their engineering-heavy messaging into business-driven conversations that would land with decision-makers and open doors to qualified meetings.
Great Technology, Weak Messaging
The client’s outbound challenges came down to one core issue: messaging. Their technical team excelled at explaining what the product did, but not why it mattered to prospects.
Outreach emphasized features and specifications, but failed to connect to the outcomes decision-makers actually cared about, growth, efficiency, and impact.
Without personalization, their micro-SaaS campaigns also fell flat. They lacked the research processes (like tech stack detection) needed to make their outreach feel relevant. Combined, these issues stalled outbound efforts, even while inbound was performing.

ABM Campaigns and SaaS Outreach Built to Convert
The Unima team designed and executed an end-to-end outbound process, focusing on three levers of success:
Messaging Pivot – transformed technical, feature-heavy copy into benefit-driven communication tied to business outcomes.
Content Leverage – repurposed the client’s content library into targeted lead magnets that supported outbound campaigns.
Prospect Research – used Klaviyo badge detection and tech stack mapping to identify relevant eCom SaaS targets.
Personalization at Scale – tailored messaging to different buyer segments, ensuring each outreach felt relevant and specific.
This approach immediately improved resonance, with the first SaaS campaign securing qualified meetings and the ABM program beginning to open doors with enterprise accounts.
From Features to Benefits: A Repeatable System for Outbound
Today, the client runs outbound campaigns that consistently generate interest and meetings across both their consulting and SaaS businesses. By shifting the focus from what the technology does to how it helps businesses grow, they’ve unlocked a repeatable approach to outbound. The foundation is set for continued traction, expansion into new accounts, and scaling meeting flow.
