Optix needed outbound to a very narrow niche.

Optix, a pre-Series A company in Vancouver, sells one platform for operations, marketing and member engagement to co-working operators that run up to 20 spaces.

Optix asked Growth Rhino to build the targeting in Clay, test the messaging, and write the system down so the Optix team could run it after hand-off.

◇ What they had

What Optix needed

Optix had no one in-house who knew outbound and Clay in depth. They wanted a team to build the system for them and document every learning along the way.

How our team ran the outbound

    What our team built

    Our team built a Clay table that finds and qualifies co-working operators, then used it to build a master list of every operator that fits. Sending ran through Smartlead. With the list in place, we tested different messages and offers until three lead magnets proved themselves.

◇ What changed

What changed for Optix

Between 2025 and 2026, over 8 months, our team handed 124 interested prospects to the Optix account executives.

We tested 20 messaging angles and kept three lead magnets that rotate through the sequence until a prospect replies with interest. The whole system and its learnings are documented for the Optix team.
