RevX / Results / Perth is OK!
Case study · WA's largest independent media outlet

A media leader, a HubSpot rebuild, and 881% sales velocity.

Perth is OK! came to RevX with a clear ambition: accelerate growth. They already had the audience, the brand and a strong database. What they wanted was the commercial architecture to match — a structured outbound motion, a fully-leveraged HubSpot, and reporting the leadership team could run on. Twelve months later, deal size up 41%, pipeline up 27.95%, and a commercial operation that runs to a rhythm.

The challenge

A great audience business — ready for the commercial architecture to match.

Strong database. Ambitious targets. The commercial side simply hadn't yet caught up with the audience side — outbound wasn't structured, HubSpot's deeper functionality wasn't switched on, and pipeline data sat across a few different spreadsheets.

01 — Targeting

Ready for a segmented ICP.

The database was strong; what it needed was structure — ideal-client segments by industry, size and buying signal — so outbound effort could land on the right people in the right order.

02 — Systems

HubSpot, ready to do more.

HubSpot was in place and used for contacts, but its deeper functionality — playbooks, pipelines, automation, Stripe payments — was waiting to be switched on.

03 — Reporting

Pipeline visibility, one source of truth away.

Pipeline size, deal size, win rates and monthly revenue were tracked at a high level. The leadership team wanted a single source of truth — one place where activity, pipeline and revenue all lined up.

The build

A unified commercial strategy with HubSpot as the operating system underneath it.

Four moves, in sequence. Each one made the next one possible. Strategy informed Systems. Systems enabled Skills. The reporting layer kept the whole thing honest.

01 — Strategy
Unified commercial strategy.

One commercial plan covering both Perth is OK! and Social Meteor — what to sell, to whom, at what price, through what process. Individual sales-rep activity was tied directly to the revenue outcomes the leadership team had committed to.

  • Joint plan across Perth is OK! & Social Meteor
  • Activity-to-outcome model agreed with leadership
  • Quarterly targets, owned by named people
02 — Targeting
ICP profiling & list generation.

Working closely with the Perth is OK! team, we used Apollo.io, ZoomInfo and LinkedIn Sales Navigator to generate supplementary lists of ideal clients — segmented and organised inside HubSpot, ready to be worked.

  • ICP definition by industry, size and buying behaviour
  • Sourced lists from Apollo · ZoomInfo · LinkedIn Sales Nav
  • Segmented and loaded into HubSpot, not a spreadsheet
03 — Systems
Outbound sales system on HubSpot CRM.

HubSpot was reconfigured into a working outbound machine — snippets, playbooks, additional pipelines, workflow automation. Stripe-powered payments and meeting scheduling removed sales overhead so the team could focus on the conversation.

  • Snippets & playbooks for consistent outbound
  • Additional pipelines per motion · workflow automation
  • Stripe payments & scheduling integrated end-to-end
04 — Reporting
Executive reporting layer.

A sales-activity dashboard tracking calls, meetings (by type), proposals sent and market penetration per rep. Activity conversions feed a revenue dashboard showing pipeline size, growth, average deal size, win rates and monthly revenue. Reviewed monthly.

  • Rep-level activity dashboard, live in HubSpot
  • Revenue dashboard linking activity to outcomes
  • Monthly cadence to adjust before quarters were lost
The results

More customers. More revenue per deal. A pipeline they could actually see.

Twelve months in, the numbers are the easy part of the story. The harder part — and the more durable one — is that the team now knows which activity produces which result.

One tactical email campaign into a new market segment delivered 17 sales-qualified meetings and 8 new customers. That is what a list, a system and a reason-to-call look like when they finally show up at the same time.

New business

One campaign. One list. Eight new customers.

The first outbound campaign on the new system targeted a single new market segment — a clearly defined ICP. The conversion rate from meeting to customer is the kind of number a services business hopes for and rarely lands.

Operating posture

The leadership team can see the pipeline — for the first time.

Pipeline size, growth, deal size, win rates, monthly revenue: live, by rep, in one dashboard. Manual processes around invoicing and scheduling are now automated, which improves cashflow and quietly raises the customer experience at the same time.

The impact

Predictable revenue growth, built on infrastructure — not effort.

The architecture is what makes the numbers durable. The activity is consistent because the rhythm is. The forecast is trusted because the data is.

A weekly & monthly rhythm.

Activity, pipeline and revenue reviewed on a fixed cadence. Adjustments happen at the start of a month, not at the end of a quarter when it's too late.

A commercial spine across both businesses.

Perth is OK! and Social Meteor run on the same operating system. New campaigns plug into it. New hires onboard against it. The architecture compounds.

Confidence to set the next target.

The leadership team sets revenue targets and backs them into named accounts, named campaigns and named activity. The forecast is grounded, not estimated.
