What QTrak Is Saying

“Our biggest challenge was time. As we grew, managing meetings took up the majority of our day – there was nothing left for prospecting. Growth Era solved that. They’re out there setting meetings for us while we focus on closing. And it’s generated a ton of meetings for us.”

 

Zach Shapiro, VP of Sales, QTrak & Key Business Solutions

Growth Challenges

Success was eating the time QTrak needed to accelerate growth.

QTrak had a product people loved and a reputation built on referrals and trade shows. The problem wasn’t the product, it was gaining a steady volume of new customer opportunities to scale growth.

As Zach, their VP of Sales, put it: the more the business grew, the less time there was to prospect. Customer calls filled the calendar. Follow-ups piled up. Cold outreach never happened.

No Cold Outreach Motion

Trade shows and referrals only go so far. QTrak had no system for reaching prospects who had never heard of them – no sequences, no lists, no one dedicated to making it happen.

Time Stolen by Success

The sales team’s growth created its own trap. More deals in play meant more demos to run, more follow-ups to manage, and less time for anything else. Prospecting kept getting pushed to tomorrow.

Competing Against Industry Giants

Pitney Bowes and Quadient have big marketing budgets and decades of brand recognition. To compete, QTrak needed to be in front of buyers consistently – not just when they happened to show up at the right event.

The Solution

Hand the top of the funnel to a team that lives there.

The answer wasn’t to hire more salespeople. It was to stop asking the sales team to do two jobs at once. Growth Era took over the top of the funnel entirely, running a targeted outreach campaign into Higher Education – going after Mailroom Managers and mail operations professionals at colleges and universities across the US.

Vertical-Specific Targeting

Rather than a ‘spray-and-pray’ approach, Growth Era zeroed in on the right people – the ones sitting in mailrooms every day, dealing with lost packages and paper logs, who had both the problem and the budget to fix it.

Sales Playbook & Talk Track Development

This wasn’t a set-it-and-forget-it engagement. Growth Era worked with Zach’s team on talk tracks and scripts from day one, and kept refining them – meeting weekly, jumping on calls after tough conversations, and adjusting the messaging based on what was actually landing in the field.

Continuous Pipeline Execution

Growth Era didn’t just book meetings for new logos. They also reached back into QTrak’s existing customer base to check in and surface expansion opportunities – the kind of outreach that gets deprioritized when a sales team is stretched thin.

Brand Awareness at Scale

Thousands of touchpoints across the Higher Ed vertical put QTrak’s name in front of people who had never heard of QТrak before. That kind of consistent presence is hard to build organically – and nearly impossible when your salespeople are already fully booked.

What Growth Era Unlocked with QTrak
A New Customer Acquisition Channel

QTrak closed multiple deals that came directly from cold outreach – customers who never would have found them through referrals or trade shows. It proved the model works.

A Pipeline Full of Active Proposals

Meetings that converted to active proposals represent real pipeline – opportunities that are still in play and working through QTrak’s sales process.

Established Brand Presence in Higher Ed

Reaching hundreds of institutions across the US put QTrak on the radar of buyers who had only ever known the big names. That kind of awareness doesn’t show up in a spreadsheet, but it compounds over time.

A Sales Team That Could Focus on Closing

Zach said it best: as long as they can get in front of people, they back themselves to win. Growth Era made sure that kept happening – so the sales team could stay focused on closing instead of chasing their next conversation.

One playbook, many markets. Higher Ed was just the start. QTrak has a strong product that works across multiple verticals – multifamily residential, healthcare, hospitality, sports venues. The playbook is proven. Now it’s about running it in more markets.
