GTM engineering for environmental services companies
A lot of these businesses grew on road relationships and cell-phone dialing. Leadership still needs a board pack, connect rates, and a honest answer to which cold calls turned into revenue. That requires CRM, dialer, and legacy data in one loop.
We wire the system of record you already host to HubSpot (or similar), then add calling, email, LinkedIn, and reporting so activity, meetings, and pipeline are visible without a week in Excel.
- Commercial data is split across systems
- Operations, finance, and sales often hold different slices of the truth. We integrate what exists instead of asking you to throw away twenty years of records on day one.
- Random dialing does not scale
- Front-desk fishing for "procurement" fails. Targeted titles (plant manager, safety, project manager) need clean contact data and dial lists that refresh as roles change.
- Board reporting should come from the same records sellers use
- If the weekly pack is one person rebuilding Excel from a custom server database, leadership is always late. We generate reporting from the commercial stack that runs the motion.
Our environmental services case study (client name withheld on the public listing) started at "0 to 100": no CRM, sellers on the road, dialers missing, and a board pack that took most of a week in Excel fed from a custom Windows-server platform.
The VP of Sales found Apero through outbound email aimed at another company in their network, called to ask how it worked, and pulled the team in. The mandate was scale without only adding boots on the ground.
Apero stood up HubSpot from scratch, integrated it with their existing store, and added Nooks for calling, Instantly for email, and LinkedIn. Contact data was cleaned so reps called named buyers instead of hunting through switchboards.
Published metrics from the study include 7,500+ calls per week and connect rates above 7.5%, with board reporting and forecasting tied to the same system.
- CRM on top of the legacy store
- HubSpot (or your chosen CRM) modeled for how sales works, synced to the system of record so dialer activity and deals land in one place.
- Nooks-led calling with SDR handoff
- Dial lists, dispositions, and meeting handoff to outside sales or the VP, with attribution back to the cold call when the close happens weeks later in the field.
- Email and LinkedIn in the same motion
- Instantly (or comparable sending infra) plus LinkedIn touches coordinated with calling, not three disconnected tools with three truths.
- Forecast and board instrumentation
- Pipeline math leadership can take to the board: activity, meetings, capacity per seller, and targets generated from live records instead of reconstructed spreadsheets.

Environmental services outbound
HubSpot integrated to the client's legacy platform, Nooks calling, and board reporting from the same stack (published case study, unlisted on the main index but shareable).
- Calls per week
- 7,500+
- Connect rate
- 7.5%+
- CRM on the legacy store
- HubSpot
- Can Apero work with a legacy system of record?
- Yes. The published environmental services study is exactly that: HubSpot wired into a long-running custom platform, with commercial activity flowing back into records leadership already trusts.
- Can Apero help an environmental services team run calling and outbound?
- Yes. We build research, dialer setup (Nooks in the published study), email (Instantly in the study), CRM handoffs, and reporting for a defined motion.
- How is environmental services GTM engineering priced?
- Standard published tiers: Growth Build from $15k minimum spend and $5k monthly ongoing minimum; Embedded GTM Engineering from $50k implementation and $20k monthly retainer.
- Can Apero connect a CRM to a custom legacy system?
- We scope integrations, field mapping, and workflows so sellers work in CRM while operational data stays authoritative in your existing store.
- How does Apero measure whether an outbound system is working?
- We tie research, dials, connects, meetings, handoffs, and pipeline in one stack so you can answer capacity questions (how many sellers for how much pipeline) from data, not anecdotes.
