Why it works

The case study earns its headline number with a named customer, a named buyer, and a specific attributed metric. The before-state is concrete: Casey was spending most of his day identifying a handful of accounts using a manual database, and generic outbound risked damaging a beloved developer brand. The mechanism is clear enough to replicate: consolidate product-usage and intent signals into a single inbox, build conversion playbooks without engineering support, and let reps act on ranked accounts rather than prospect from scratch. The story leads with a number going up (deal size), so Breakthrough is the right primary tag, with Efficiency as a strong secondary given the hours-saved evidence.

Steal this

Quantify the reps' time saved alongside the revenue metric. Pairing '30% larger deals' with 'nearly 20 hours saved per week per rep' makes the ROI case on two dimensions and gives different reader personas (sales leaders and CFOs) each a number to care about.
