CASE STUDY

$10,500-$47,500/month in 6 weeks

Prime Coatings partners with Tripathi Consulting to overcome startup struggles, revamp their marketing systems, and scale to $47,500 in just 6 weeks.

Company Background & History

Prime Coatings, an auto detailing shop based in Northern Virginia, launched earlier this year. The founders, who previously worked at a successful ceramic coating shop, expected to replicate that success with ease. However, they soon faced unexpected challenges in attracting appointments and sustaining business growth.

The founders' initial assumptions and the competitive landscape contributed to their struggles. Although they had expertise, the lack of a clear acquisition and growth strategy hindered their ability to generate steady business.

The challenges Prime Coatings faced included:

  • Difficulty attracting and booking high-ticket ceramic coating appointments.
  • Internal doubts about their ability to sell services priced at $1,800+.
  • A belief that price cuts were necessary to compete.
  • Intimidation from well-established competitors with 10+ years of market presence.

After partnering with an underperforming marketing agency that promised results but delivered low-quality leads and cookie-cutter solutions, Prime Coatings found themselves frustrated and searching for a reliable partner. During this period of uncertainty, Tripathi Consulting reached out to them and began discussions about a more customized approach to growth.

When Tripathi Consulting assessed Prime Coatings' situation, we identified these root problems:

  • Misaligned pricing and marketing strategies fuelled by fear of competition.
  • Generic advertisements that failed to attract qualified leads.
  • A lack of systematic, sustainable processes for lead nurturing and client bookings.

Plan to Solve the Problem

Tripathi Consulting proposed a comprehensive strategy:

Rebuilding Targeted Advertising Campaigns
The first step was to overhaul Prime Coatings' advertising strategy. Their existing ads were too generic and did not resonate with high-value clients. Tripathi Consulting crafted tailored campaigns that targeted specific car niches, such as luxury sedans and trucks. This strategic focus helped Prime Coatings position themselves as experts and attract qualified leads looking for high-end services.

Developing a Customized Website
The next phase involved creating a robust online presence through a custom-built website. Prime Coatings' previous online presence lacked credibility and conversion optimization. Tripathi Consulting designed and built a professional website that showcased their expertise and communicated trust to potential customers, boosting engagement and lead generation.

Implementing Advanced Lead Systems
To ensure no leads slipped through the cracks, advanced AI-driven booking and lead management systems were introduced. This new infrastructure automated the scheduling process, allowing prospects to book consultations seamlessly and shop owners to respond promptly, reducing manual effort and increasing booking efficiency.

Content Strategy for Organic Growth
Lastly, Tripathi Consulting developed a comprehensive content strategy aimed at enhancing online visibility and drawing in organic traffic. By highlighting Prime Coatings’ services, expertise, and customer success stories, they were able to capture the attention of potential clients and establish a stronger brand presence.

Results

Prime Coatings transformed from struggling to secure appointments to consistently booking high-value jobs. The strategic overhaul led to significant growth:

  • Revenue increased from $10,500 to $47,500 within 6 weeks.
  • The founders' initial doubts were replaced with confidence and assurance as they saw a reliable flow of bookings.
  • The new systems put in place allowed them to focus on scaling their business rather than worrying about the day-to-day struggle for leads.
