    About the client

    BeVup is a mobile gifting platform that lets people send a real-world drink or snack to anyone, anywhere - redeemable at partner venues around the world. The B2B side of the business depends on signing up the best cafes, bars and restaurants in each new market.

    Despite their Head of Growth, Denis Iliev, having previously been a Leader & Coach of Business Development at a multi-billion-dollar corporation, BeVup chose to partner with GTM Revenue - recognizing our depth of expertise and our sophisticated understanding of agentic go-to-market implementations.

    Challenges

    As a new startup, BeVup needed to build its go-to-market from the ground up - and to do it across many countries at once.

    The B2B audience made it harder: hospitality is not a digitally sophisticated industry, so accurate contact data was difficult to source at scale, and venue owners are constantly pitched by vendors trying to take money from them.

    On top of that, the product is genuinely novel - hard to explain in a two-line cold email. Get the message wrong and prospects lump it in with everything else and disqualify it at a glance.

    Solution & process

    Because this was an early-stage startup, we began with the fundamentals: defining a dynamic Ideal Customer Profile, refining BeVup's positioning, and optimizing messaging to align with the brand voice and proven sales-conversion best practices.

    We enriched and verified venue contact data at large scale, then built highly personalized outreach that preserved BeVup's voice so well that recipients believed a human had written each email. That partnership accelerated their global expansion - 5 new markets in the first two months, scaling to over a dozen countries within six.

    • Dynamic ICP definition and reasoning

    • Large-scale data enrichment + verification

    Frequently asked questions

    What problems do you solve?+
    Weak market intelligence & data accuracy
    • - No real-time alerts for key account events
    • - No single view that aggregates intelligence from multiple sources
    • - Impossible to keep data enriched and accurate at scale
    • - Reliance on stale CRM entries and shallow data from tools like Apollo, Cognism or ZoomInfo
    In-house teams with low efficiency & ROI
    • - Can't orchestrate sophisticated GTM campaigns at scale
    • - No system to prioritize high-intent accounts, so effort is wasted
    • - More time spent managing data than building relationships
    Lack of strategy & focus and failed outsourcing
    • - Campaigns launched without a consistent GTM plan
    • - Agencies overpromise, underdeliver, and send generic blasts
    • - Software and outsourced teams show little real ROI
    How does this work? / What's your business model?+

    We have three ways we work with clients:

    • 1. In-house system set-up - a one-time set-up cost plus a monthly maintenance and optimization cost.
    • 2. Done-for-you service - we strategise, build and manage GTM campaigns or data solutions for you, at a monthly cost.
    • 3. AI Growth Partner - a deeper, outcome-aligned partnership.
    What's your pricing?+
    We use value-based pricing. All pricing is calculated based on the monetary value our solutions will bring, ensuring every client gets a multiple return on their investment.
    How long does it take to see results?+
    Clients can see results as early as 30 days, but the best results typically come between the 90-120 day mark and beyond.
    How do you balance AI automation with the human element?+
    Our AI workflows handle repetitive tasks and complex research that normally takes significant time. AI works faster and at scale, while your team keeps control over relationships and strategic decisions - we amplify your team's capabilities rather than replace them.
    How much of our team's time will this require?+
    You'll need one point of contact for light project management - gathering requirements and reviewing scope. Once the scope is finalized, time requirements become minimal. The rest of your team only needs brief training sessions to learn the workflows.
    Do you have experience in our industry / use case?+
    We've built GTM workflows across many B2B scenarios. The core principles of good automation stay consistent - what changes is how we apply them to your specific context and goals.
    Will this work with our existing tools?+
    Yes. We integrate with any tools that have API endpoints. We'll assess your current stack and either connect to your existing tools or recommend better alternatives based on our deep knowledge of the GTM tool landscape.
