SaaSLMS and CRM

How Arythmatic stood out in a crowded LMS market

Arythmatic replaces several tools with one platform for learning and CRM. Growth had come through the founders' network. We went after people already unhappy with a competing tool.

The starting point

Where they started

What was in the way before the first campaign went out.

The goal

Find people with a reason to switch now, and show them why one platform beats a stack of tools.

01

Network-led growth

New customers came through the founders' network, with no repeatable way to reach anyone else.

02

A broad ICP

Training institutes, coaching businesses, SaaS teams and course creators all buy for different reasons.

03

A crowded market

Bigger, better-known LMS brands, and buyers who already had something in place.

The ideal customer

Who we went after

Agreed with the team before the first campaign. Every list, message and ad was built for these people and nobody else.

Day 0From Arythmatic's founding team
SubjectHow are you managing it all, First name?

Custom opener At that scale, most teams spend more time managing tools than delivering learning: Zoom here, LMS there, community somewhere else. Learners feel that friction before you do.

Arythmatic brings live classes, self-paced courses, community and CRM under one white-labelled platform. Your brand, your data, zero platform commissions.

Worth 20 minutes to see it live?

Day 3From Arythmatic's founding team
SubjectRe: How are you managing it all, First name?Same thread

Just following up on my last email, didn't want it to get buried. Managing live classes, recorded content and community across different tools is a real operational cost.

No extra Zoom licences, no platform commissions eating into your revenue. Worth 20 minutes to see it live?

Day 7From Arythmatic's founding team
SubjectRe: How are you managing it all, First name?Same thread

Last nudge from my side. Happy to do a quick 20-minute demo at your convenience. No pressure, no lengthy sales pitch.

Connection note

Hi First name, saw your work in the e-learning space. Curious if juggling Zoom, a separate LMS and community tools is something your team deals with too. Built something around that exact problem. Thought it might be relevant. Let's connect!

After they accept

Honestly we lived that exact pain: Zoom for classes, a separate LMS, community somewhere else. It never felt like one business. That frustration is why we built Arythmatic.

I'll be honest, I don't usually reach out like this. If your team runs training on four or five different tools, I think you'll want to see this.

Timeline

How it unfolded

From the first call to where the account stands now.

  1. Early April
    Setup and warm-up

    Domains, mailboxes and LinkedIn profiles, plus the signal lists.

  2. 28 Apr
    First lead

    Two leads in April, both qualified.

  3. May
    37 leads

    Email and LinkedIn at full volume. Accept rates passed 40%.

  4. June
    A slow fortnight, then fixes

    Pre-demo qualification calls and faster follow-up on every lead.

  5. July
    34 leads

    A DPDP track added, plus retargeting and lookalike lists.

Problems and fixes

What didn't work, and what we changed

Every campaign hits problems. These are the ones that mattered, and the fix for each.

What went wrong

Two slow weeks in June

What we changed

A pre-demo qualification call, follow-ups at 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days and 1 week, and form leads called within 2 hours.

What went wrong

An early ad form converted 3 of 53 clicks

What we changed

Form redesigned, and creatives refreshed every 30 to 45 days.

Takeaways

What we'd tell a team like theirs

  1. In a crowded category, start with people who are already unhappy with a rival.
  2. Write one sequence per segment. A coaching business and a SaaS L&D team buy for different reasons.
  3. Name your website visitors and reach them the same day.
