How A Music Business Generated 2,300 Leads & €4.700 Revenue in 30 Days with AI Outreach

GetPlaylisted is a music promotion company that helps artists reach wider audiences by securing placements on curated Spotify playlists. With a loyal customer base and a broad genre focus, they offer promotion campaigns tailored to both up-and-coming and more established artists.

While their early growth was strong, mostly through freelance platforms they ran into a common issue: unpredictable and unscalable client acquisition. Some weeks were busy, others were quiet, and without direct access to lead data or a stable pipeline, long-term planning became difficult.

‍

The limitation: A model that doesn’t scale

For a while, GetPlaylisted relied on a mix of freelance platforms and organic word-of-mouth to attract new clients. This worked well initially, but over time revealed several limitations:

• No ownership of customer relationships
  Leads acquired through platforms couldn't be retargeted or nurtured later. There was no real client database.
• No consistency in lead flow
  There were peaks and valleys in sales, making it hard to predict monthly revenue or reinvest with confidence.
• Manual outreach didn't scale
  Efforts through email or social media were effective but time-intensive. The team was spending hours per week without any guarantees.

The turning point: Building a lead engine

That’s when GetPlaylisted partnered with ClearLeads.

The goal was simple: design a predictable, automated, and scalable lead generation system that would run quietly in the background, consistently feeding the business with qualified prospects.

The ClearLeads team set up a dedicated outreach engine tailored to the music promotion space. Without revealing proprietary methods, here’s what changed:

• A clear ideal client profile was defined
• A highly targeted prospect list was built
• A multi-channel outreach sequence was launched
• Lead qualification and follow-up were fully automated
• The entire flow ran without manual effort

Within days, the system started delivering leads. Within weeks, it became a revenue driver. And after a month, it was clear this wasn’t a test — it was the new standard.

The results after 30 days

• 🔍 2,300+ high-quality leads were added to the pipeline
• ✉️ 64% open rate on cold outreach
• 💬 21% reply rate from prospects
• 🧲 46 new paying customers converted directly through the new system
• 💸 €4,700 in additional revenue, completely outside of freelance platforms
• 🔁 Growing customer retention through re-engagement and follow-up

More Than Just Leads — A New Way of Operating

This wasn’t just about getting more emails sent.

The new system allowed GetPlaylisted to:

• Take full control of their customer acquisition
• Build a direct relationship with clients outside of marketplaces
• Create a scalable process that grows with them
• Focus their time on fulfillment and strategy, not sales

And because the process is automated and adaptable, they can test new audiences, expand into new niches, and tweak their targeting at any time without building from scratch.
