Viere Media proposal for Boreal Energy Solutions
Growth & Revenue Partnership

Generate more solar leads, and close more of them

One partnership that runs the advertising that brings in leads and the HubSpot system that nurtures and closes them, with both owned by the same team and measured against booked revenue.

The short version

Right now, revenue is leaking at both ends

For years, most of your leads came from a third-party lead company, which is a common way solar businesses grow. Those leads leaned heavily on the government funding being promoted at the time, and as that funding tightened through 2025 and 2026, the flow of workable leads tightened with it: by what the CRM shows, new deals fell from 47 in April into the single digits by June. Running your own Meta ads was the right instinct; ads just need tracking and follow-up behind them to convert, and that groundwork was not yet in place.

The leads you do get are landing in a CRM that was set up but never fully connected. Almost $2M in deals is sitting in a single stage with nothing following up, and more than 100 deals have gone untouched since April 2025. Nothing automates the follow-up, so it falls to one person doing it by hand, which no one can sustain at that volume.

Here is the good news: when a deal actually gets worked, you close about two of every three. The selling works. What is missing is a way to bring in your own leads and a system that follows up and closes them. That is what this plan builds.

The diagnosis

What's actually costing you money right now

Seven things we found, each framed as what it costs, not what's missing.

01
~$2M in the post-proposal stage with no nurture. 134 deals stalled right after the pitch; 24 of them assigned to users who are no longer active.
Recovering even 5% of that value is roughly $100K already sitting in the system.
02
Reporting understates the business about 3×. Closed Won is buried mid-pipeline, so 76 won jobs read as still open.
You can't see that you win 67%, so you can't spend or hire with confidence.
03
102 zombie deals open since April 2025, with no rot alerts and no required close reason.
$1.76M in stated pipeline nobody is working, and no data on why deals die.
04
Four active workflows, none for follow-up. They stamp data and send notices; nothing nurtures a lead. 70% of call activity is unattributed, and 1,000 tasks sit on a deactivated user.
Follow-up is manual and fragile. Capacity is capped at what one rep can hold in his head.
05
84% of contacts are "Offline." Wix forms break attribution, so Meta ad spend can't be tied to revenue.
You can't tell which ads, offers, or towns pay back, so every marketing dollar flies blind.
06
New deal flow collapsed around May 2026, which lines up with CEIP and Greener Homes financing tightening. Nothing holds "not right now" buyers until they're ready.
Every un-nurtured "not right now" buyer is a future sale you're currently losing.
07
Lead volume has collapsed, at a higher cost per lead. You are not running your own ads, and the third-party leads you buy have gone from roughly 300 a month for about $3,500 to 60 or fewer at the same spend.
About one-fifth the leads for the same money, and no channel of your own to fall back on.

Full detail in the companion HubSpot Utilization Audit already delivered. Figures are a point-in-time snapshot from July 3, 2026.

Paid marketing

Stop renting leads. Build an engine you own.

Until now you have rented your leads, on someone else's funnel, under someone else's offer. This plan makes them yours.

Today: rented leads
  • Leads bought from a third party, on their funnel, not yours
  • No brand, no relationship, and no data you keep
  • Interest tied to whatever funding offer was being pushed
  • The same spend now buys a fraction of the leads it once did
  • When the funding tightened, the leads went with it
Your own engine
  • Meta and Google ads run from your own accounts, so you own the audiences, the data, and the leads
  • Consistent Boreal branding on every touch, building the reputation you care about
  • Closed-deal data feeds back, so the platforms optimize toward real sales, not just form fills
  • Cost per lead you can see and improve, not a vendor's rising invoice
  • Built to attract homeowners who genuinely want solar

The goal is a system that brings in people who want solar for the reasons solar sells itself: lower bills, energy independence, and backup power. When CEIP, Greener Homes, or the next program reopens, we switch it on as an extra angle to target, a bonus on top, never the thing the business depends on. And because it is your brand being seen, consistently, that visibility compounds: more branded searches, more referrals, and a company that is simply better known in your market.

Inside HubSpot

The funnels that work every lead for you

Once a lead comes in, these run on their own, so follow-up no longer depends on one person remembering.

Recovers stuck pipeline

Re-engagement drip

A multi-touch email and SMS sequence, roughly a dozen or more touches, that reopens the conversation with every dormant deal, starting with the ~$2M and 100-plus deals sitting untouched today.

No lead goes dark

Speed-to-lead and nurture

Every new lead gets an instant reply and a structured multi-touch follow-up over the first weeks, so none go cold while the team catches up.

Fixes the $2M stage

Post-report follow-up

Automated tasks, emails, and texts fire after the solar report, the exact stage where deals stall now, until each one moves forward or is closed out.

Underneath, we rebuild the pipeline and reporting so you can finally see win rate, revenue, and cost per lead at a glance, and we add a financing-aware track that holds CEIP and Greener Homes buyers warm until their program reopens, instead of losing them.

The engagement

One partnership that owns leads and the close

One end-to-end engagement. We run the advertising that brings leads in and build the HubSpot system that nurtures and closes them, so generation and conversion are never split across two vendors pointing at each other. Everything is built inside your own accounts and handed off with documentation and training.

Demand generation Lead engine
  • Paid advertising on Meta and Google: strategy, creative, and day-to-day management
  • Landing pages built to convert, wired straight into HubSpot
  • Native forms and full UTM attribution so every lead is measurable
  • Source-to-revenue reporting: which ads and offers actually pay back
Foundation & recovery
  • Pipeline re-architecture (Sales + Install) and the Closed-Won fix
  • Reporting and leadership dashboards rebuilt
  • Data cleanup: legacy users, orphaned records, the task graveyard
  • Post-proposal follow-up and nurture workflow (the ~$2M stage)
  • Deal-rot and hygiene automation plus required close reasons
Automation & growth
  • Lead routing and ownership rules, off the one-rep bottleneck
  • Auto-task creation and lifecycle automation (Lead to Customer)
  • Financing-aware nurture (CEIP, GHL, and self-finance tracks)
  • Quoting, solar product catalog, and e-signature
  • Referral and warranty loop, plus monthly strategy and optimization
How we start

From signed to live in the first month

No long discovery. We already know the account, so work starts in week one.

Weeks 1 to 2

Fix the foundation

Re-architect the pipeline, fix the reporting, clear out the dead data, and switch on the first follow-up automation. Set up your Meta and Google ad accounts and conversion tracking properly.

Weeks 3 to 4

Go live

First campaigns launch from your accounts. Landing pages and forms feed straight into HubSpot, and the nurture and routing workflows start working every lead automatically.

Month 2 and on

Optimize and expand

Closed-deal data feeds back into the ads to sharpen targeting and creative. We layer in funding-based angles when they return, then add quoting, referrals, and reporting.

Investment

Priced so we only win when you do

The retainer covers the build, the ad management, and ongoing maintenance. The per-deal fee keeps us accountable: we earn more only when we generate more sales for you, which is exactly the incentive you want on the team running your ads.

Monthly retainer
$3,495 / month

Covers building and maintaining every workflow and automation, plus the strategy, creative, and management of your Meta and Google advertising.

+
Performance fee
$750 / deal we generate

For every closed deal that traces back to the marketing we run: the ads, landing pages, nurture, and referral automations. Deals from your own word of mouth are yours, no fee.

How it works in a strong month

Say a month brings 4 closed deals: 2 from your usual word of mouth and 2 from the marketing engine. The word-of-mouth deals carry no fee; the month totals $3,495 + (2 × $750) = $4,995. A month with no marketing-generated closes costs only the $3,495. Either way the math favors you: the $750 fee is a small fraction of the profit on a sale you would not have had otherwise.

Term
6-month initial commitment, then continues month to month, cancellable with 30 days notice.
Your own flow
Deals from your own word of mouth and personal referrals carry no fee. That flow has averaged about 2 a month, and it stays yours.
What counts
A deal marked Closed Won in HubSpot that traces back to our marketing: ads, landing pages, nurture, or the referral engine. We build that attribution in week one so the count is visible to both of us, and we review it together each quarter.
Ad media budget
Set with you and paid directly to Meta and Google, separate from this retainer.
Why Viere Media

The partner who already knows your account

No discovery ramp

We have already audited the account: 545 deals, a 15-stage pipeline, and every gap this proposal names.

The whole system, not just the CRM

Viere builds digital presence, ads, and automations end to end, so "more leads" and "close more leads" get solved by one partner, in one connected system.

Optimization, not a rebuild

Your foundation scored 7 out of 10. We're sharpening a working machine, not tearing it down, which means faster results and lower risk.

Where we go from here

You are already winning two of every three deals you work. The fastest path to more revenue is putting more qualified leads in front of that closing ability and making sure none of them slip. This engagement does both, run by one accountable team.

Whenever you are ready to start, week one is agreeing the ad budget and locking a start date, then the first automation goes live inside the first two weeks. We already know the account, so there is no long discovery to sit through.
