CASE STUDY

$3,000-$20,000/mo "Within Weeks"

Aadi, a young entrepreneur documenting his SMMA journey on YouTube, partnered with Catalyst Holdings to overhaul his offer, client acquisition, and sales processes. In just a few months, he scaled his struggling agency from earning a few thousand dollars per month to closing $15,000+ in a single week, achieving monthly collections of $19,800.

Backstory:

Aadi, a university student with a passion for entrepreneurship, started his first business in high school, dabbling in dropshipping and later SMMA. Despite early failures, he remained driven to create something meaningful. His initial attempts to build an agency included various niches like med spas and real estate, experimenting with AI automation for chatbots.

While his persistence earned him a few clients, Aadi felt overwhelmed and directionless, spending hours cold-calling and managing operations. Burnout loomed as he struggled to scale his business. Seeking clarity and a path forward, Aadi reached out to Catalyst Holdings.

"I was just floating around like a feather, no real direction. I woke up, and I didn’t know how to manage my time."— Aadi

Catalyst Holdings identified several key issues in Aadi’s business:

  1. Weak Offer Positioning: His services lacked differentiation, making it hard to attract high-value clients.
  2. Inefficient Acquisition Systems: Manual outreach methods like cold calling were unsustainable and unscalable.
  3. Unrefined Sales Process: Aadi struggled with sales confidence and lacked the systems to close high-ticket clients.

Catalyst Holdings developed a comprehensive strategy to address Aadi's challenges:

Revamping the Offer:

Catalyst worked closely with Aadi to create an irresistible, value-packed offer tailored to his niche. This new offer differentiated his agency from competitors and addressed specific pain points of high-paying clients in his industry.

"The offer completely changed the game. I went from struggling to close deals to signing clients for $6,800 retainers."— Aadi

Client Acquisition via Paid Ads:

Catalyst implemented a scalable lead generation system using high-converting ads and an automated funnel. This allowed Aadi to effortlessly pack his sales calendar with his ideal prospects.

Sales System Optimization:

Catalyst introduced the Catalyst OS sales system, equipping Aadi with scripts, follow-up processes, and personalized coaching. Aadi also received one-on-one mentorship from Noah Kent, a sales expert with over $10M in online sales experience.

"Sales coaching from Noah Kent was a game-changer. It gave me the confidence to close high-value clients consistently."— Aadi

Results:

Within a few months, Aadi transformed his business:

  • Revenue Growth: From a few thousand dollars per month to over $19,800 in a single month.
