Axon Growth is a lead generation and sales consultancy that helps agencies, SaaS companies, recruiters, and coaching businesses increase their qualified calls and pipeline revenue.
As a technology-focused company managing high-volume cold outreach, Axon Growth needed an experienced Inbox Manager who could understand sales psychology, respond to prospects, and improve its existing processes.
The Challenge
Before working with us, Axon Growth used platforms such as Upwork and OnlineJobs.ph for simple, process-based positions.
However, an Inbox Manager required stronger communication skills, sales experience, initiative, and the ability to manage responsibilities that could not easily be documented in a standard operating procedure.
The company therefore needed a recruitment partner capable of finding and screening candidates with this more specialized skill set.
Our Approach
Axon Growth began the search on a Wednesday. By Friday, we had filled the following week’s calendar with interviews.
After speaking with 4 or 5 candidates, the founders selected Julia based on her understanding of sales responses, strong energy, and ability to think from first principles.
The entire recruitment process took approximately 10 days.
“It was rapid, streamlined, and everything you could hope for.”
Within 3 weeks of joining the company, Julia had fully taken ownership of inbox management.
She also independently introduced new systems to improve the organization of the company’s sales and inbox processes.
The Result
At its busiest, Axon Growth received approximately 50–100 messages every hour across an eight-hour workday. Managing these conversations had previously been a full-time responsibility for one of the founders.
By taking over this work, Julia saved the leadership team at least 40 hours every week for approximately 18 months to two years.
This allowed them to focus on improving automation, analytics, strategy, and other areas of the business.
“When you’re stuck in the details, you don’t have time to think about the direction the company needs to take. That was missing until she came.”
Hiring Julia through HireUA also cost approximately 50% less than hiring a comparable Sales Development Representative in the United Kingdom.
The Impact
Through our partnership, Axon Growth achieved:
- Four to five qualified candidates presented
- The right person hired within approximately 10 days
- Full ownership of inbox management within three weeks
- At least 40 hours saved every week
- Approximately 50% savings compared with a local UK hire
- Improved sales and inbox management processes
- More time for technology, analytics, and business strategy
Following the success of this placement, Axon Growth also used HireUA to recruit for its SaaS business and referred several other companies to us.
“Having a company like HireUA available to place people is such a gift.”
By finding a candidate with sales knowledge, initiative, and the ability to take ownership, we helped Axon Growth remove a full-time workload from its founders and create more capacity for strategic growth.
