No outbound pipeline.
A team ready to grow.
West Wolf IT provides IT support and managed services to businesses across Canada. The team was technically capable, the service was solid, and the business had real ambition to grow. What it didn't have was a proactive way to put itself in front of new prospects.
New business came from referrals and the occasional inbound enquiry. The founders knew this model had a ceiling, but neither had the time nor the inclination to run a sales process themselves. LinkedIn was identified as the right channel — IT decision-makers and business owners are active there, and connection-based outreach matched the kind of relationship-first approach West Wolf preferred.
BitWide built and ran a LinkedIn outreach campaign to generate qualified conversations with SMB decision-makers across Canada.
A LinkedIn pipeline
where there was none.
BitWide built and ran the full LinkedIn outreach operation, generating consistent qualified conversations with IT decision-makers across Canadian SMBs.
Consistent meetings.
And what we learned about what comes next.
The outreach worked. Qualified conversations were happening consistently. What became clear through the engagement was where the next constraint lived.
The LinkedIn campaign delivered what it was designed to deliver: a consistent flow of qualified conversations with the right type of prospect. For a business that had never run proactive outreach before, that was a meaningful change.
Where the engagement became more complicated was on the conversion side. Getting meetings is one problem. Closing them is a different one. West Wolf's founders were new to a structured sales process, and converting warm conversations into signed clients at a consistent rate required skills and systems that hadn't yet been built on their end.
BitWide's job is to build pipeline. That means finding the right prospects, opening conversations, and getting qualified meetings on the calendar. What happens in those meetings is the client's responsibility.
The West Wolf engagement is worth including in this library because it illustrates something important: outreach and closing are two separate functions, and a business needs to be ready for both. If you've never run a structured sales process before, the arrival of consistent pipeline will expose that gap quickly. We now discuss this directly with every prospective client before an engagement begins — and where needed, we can support the closing side through our fractional sales offering.
Ready for pipeline.
And ready to close it.
If you want honest advice on whether your business is set up to convert what outreach produces, book a call. That's part of what we assess before every engagement.
