How Upvert.io Drove 60% Sales Growth in Under 2 Months with a Warm Legency SDR

In the world of bootstrapped startups, every dollar counts. For lean, fast-moving teams, hiring the right talent at the right cost can make or break growth. That’s why Upvert.io, a bootstrapped finance platform, turned to Warm Legency to supercharge their outbound sales and demand generation without breaking the bank.

‍

The Challenge

As a growing finance company, Upvert.io had built a strong product and early customer base. But like many startups, they hit a common barrier:

• Their small team was wearing too many hats.
• They lacked the bandwidth to consistently run outbound prospecting and nurture new leads.
• Hiring full-time SDRs locally was expensive and slow.

They needed a cost-efficient way to accelerate pipeline growth—without compromising on skill or quality.

The Solution: A Smart Eastern European Hire

Through Warm Legency, Upvert.io hired a skilled, AI-enabled SDR based in Eastern Europe. The new team member was:

• Trained on leading GTM tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator, HubSpot, and Warmly.
• Cost-effective, coming in at a fraction of the price of traditional in-house SDRs.
• Plug-and-play ready, already equipped with outbound strategy, copywriting skills, and channel expertise.

This allowed Upvert.io to skip the painful recruiting and training cycles and immediately put their SDR to work.

The Results

In less than two months, the impact was undeniable:

• 60% growth in sales driven directly by outbound efforts.
• The SDR quadrupled the number of meetings booked via LinkedIn—a channel that had previously been underutilized.
• Their presence on LinkedIn expanded, boosting Upvert.io’s brand visibility and creating a flywheel for inbound leads.
• With more meetings, warmer leads, and heightened awareness, new customers started flowing in consistently.

Why It Worked

The combination of cost efficiency, AI training, and SDR expertise made all the difference:

• Eastern European talent provided high skill at low cost, giving Upvert.io more runway to reinvest in growth.
• Warm Legency’s “Warmbound Training Program” ensured the SDR was battle-ready from day one.
• A focus on LinkedIn prospecting and brand-building not only increased meetings but also created long-term inbound momentum.
