Overview

Pecan is a predictive analytics platform that enables business teams to use advanced machine learning models for churn prediction, LTV forecasting, demand planning, and more, without relying on data science teams. As Pecan expanded its presence in financial services and e-commerce, the company partnered with Whistle to generate consistent pipeline, drive SQL volume, and support internal go-to-market efforts across multiple verticals.

Challenges Faced

Recruitment Constraints: Pecan’s internal team didn’t have the bandwidth to recruit and onboard a full outbound team, slowing execution.
Lack of Strategy: Prior to Whistle, there was no formal outbound strategy in place, and limited resources to build one.
Vertical Complexity: Targeting both financial services and e-commerce added complexity around messaging, segmentation, and sequencing.
Resource Limitations: With only two to three people leading sales and marketing internally, bandwidth to plan and execute was minimal.

Our Solution

Whistle acted as a full-service growth partner — delivering prospecting strategy, multichannel outreach, and real-time campaign optimization.

Key strategies included:

  • Foundational Campaign Strategy: Whistle built campaigns from scratch, developing new messaging for each target persona across Pecan’s core verticals.
  • Multichannel Outreach: SDRs executed outreach across LinkedIn, phone, and email, ensuring broad coverage across mid-market and enterprise accounts.
  • Lead Qualification and Handover: The Whistle team coordinated with Pecan to identify ideal personas and ensured that each meeting met the quality bar.
  • High-Touch Collaboration: Regular Slack communication, weekly reporting, and shared project management in HubSpot created full transparency.
  • Rapid Iteration: Messaging was A/B tested and optimized weekly, with the team adjusting based on real-time performance data.

Results Achieved

Meetings Scheduled: 411 qualified meetings delivered over 10 months.

SQLs Created: 288 SQLs across Pecan’s target verticals.

Closed Deals: Notably, a lead from a top-tier U.S. insurance firm converted to a closed-won deal - a key milestone for the company.

Estimated ROI: 26X return on investment, based on pipeline generated

Campaign Efficiency: Whistle’s SDRs operated with speed and ownership, ensuring no lead was left untouched, including calling executive assistants to secure meetings.

Team Enablement: The internal team remained focused on core deals while Whistle handled outbound execution at scale.

“What stood out most was the flexibility and ownership. Whistle really felt like part of our internal team, not just another agency. They built the strategy, ran the outreach, optimized everything, and stayed responsive the whole way through. When we got a lead from a top-tier insurance company, the team went all in — calling her assistant, jumping on it immediately. That lead turned into a major deal for us.”

Future Outlook

Following a successful 10-month campaign, Pecan continues to refine its outbound strategy while building internal sales capacity. The team is exploring deeper vertical segmentation and additional outreach channels, with Whistle remaining a key resource for experimentation, optimization, and overflow support as growth continues.
