B2B SaaS / Growth Systems

Search and outbound for B2B SaaS acquisition.

Caldrin works on how software buyers discover products, compare vendors and become customers. We build commercial Search + AI visibility and researched outbound campaigns around your product, market and sales motion.

START HERE

Where SaaS acquisition needs work.

Choose the first offer by the buying problem. Some companies need commercial discovery first; others have a defined set of accounts to approach.

SEARCH + AI

Buyers are researching, but the product is hard to find or evaluate.

Start with category, integration, alternative and competitor searches. First work may include query research, technical SEO, commercial pages, AI visibility measurement and source analysis.

SIGNAL-BASED OUTBOUND

The right accounts are identifiable, but conversations are not starting.

Define the market, segment fitting accounts and investigate signals that change the message. First work may include account research, campaign hypotheses and a controlled test.

THE ENGAGEMENT

What an engagement actually involves.

Scope follows the constraint. A Search engagement and an Outbound engagement do not require the same assets or access.

01

Buyer and market research

Map commercial queries, competitor alternatives or target accounts, depending on where acquisition is constrained.

Output: a prioritised demand or account map.
02

Acquisition assets

Build relevant product, use-case or comparison pages; or prepare researched account segments and messages.

Output: pages or campaign assets that answer a buyer decision.
03

Implementation and testing

Resolve technical Search barriers or run an agreed outbound test with sending checks and message approvals.

Output: a working test, not just a strategy deck.
04

Measurement and iteration

Review search visibility, qualified response and the next product or sales conversion step where data is available.

Output: decisions about what to change next.

FOUNDER / OPERATOR

Built with a product operator's perspective.

Ankur Shrestha founded Caldrin and has built software products. That experience changes the questions behind acquisition work: Which visitors are a fit? Where does a signup stall? What makes a sales conversation qualified?

Search visibility, signups and campaign replies matter when they connect to the next meaningful product or sales step.

CONVERSION MOTION

The conversion target depends on how the product is sold.

Self-serve buyers need to reach product value after signup. Sales-led buyers need a qualified conversation and opportunity. Sales-assisted and hybrid products may need both paths measured.

PLG / SELF-SERVE

Product value is the conversion test.

  1. Discovery
  2. Signup
  3. Activation
  4. Paid conversion

Measure: non-brand acquisition, signup quality, activation, paid conversion and retention. Product-qualified leads matter only where a qualification rule exists.

SALES-LED

A qualified conversation is the next gate.

  1. Discovery or outbound
  2. Conversation
  3. Qualified opportunity
  4. Customer

Measure: commercial visibility, qualified replies, demo conversion, opportunities and attributable pipeline or revenue.

Hybrid products need both views without blending them into one score.

MARKET CONTEXT

Different software markets change the work.

INSURTECH

Specific buyers, complex products.

Commercial searches may be narrow. Product comparisons, source credibility and the buying role matter before choosing a Search or account approach.

PLG / SELF-SERVE

Discovery must lead to product value.

A relevant visitor still has to sign up, activate and find a reason to pay. Acquisition work should be measured against that path.

Founder Brand + Reputation can help buyers verify expertise. Paid + Creative can extend a tested message. Focused software can remove repeated research, routing or measurement work. Add them when the starting offer reveals a need.
