The Chaos

Connect Group is a recruitment agency specializing in placing top AI talent across industries. Despite their strong reputation, they faced several obstacles that limited growth and efficiency.

• Inefficient lead generation created inconsistent client pipelines and slowed overall business growth.

• The sales team experienced burnout from chasing low-quality leads without a structured process.

• Difficulty targeting the right prospects meant missed opportunities and underperforming outreach.

• Scaling required a more efficient system for consistent and high-quality lead generation.

• Without an optimized sales process, conversions on AI-focused roles were not reaching their full potential.
