INSIDER LABS
EST. INSIDER LABS LLC / BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT / OWNER-OPERATED B2B

Business development for owner-operated companies.

Insider Labs is a business development firm for owner-operated B2B service companies between $1M and $50M in revenue. We run the research that finds your next growth bet, then build and run the system that brings it home.

01 / METHOD

Three things, in order. Skip any of them and you're guessing.

01 — RESEARCH

Find the lane

We run a defined set of reports against your business: who actually buys, where they actually look, who you can actually beat. The lane is what falls out the other end. Not opinion. Not vibes. Not last quarter's marketing trend.

02 — BUILD

Build the engine

Site, content, search, outreach, email, conversion path — pointed at the lane the research surfaced. Built fast, built specifically. No template work. No retainer for retainer's sake.

03 — RUN

Fill it

Monthly cadence: re-run the relevant reports, watch what's working, double down, kill what isn't. You get a single point of contact who actually knows your business and can move on it the same week.

02 / FIT

Built for one kind of buyer. Not built for everyone else.

Owner-operated. $1M to $50M. B2B services.

You built the company. You still run it. You don't have a CMO. You probably don't have a marketing team. You've been pitched by enough agencies to know most of them are selling decks, not outcomes.

The growth bets in front of you are real but not obvious. New verticals. New customer segments. Productized offerings. Geographic expansion. Channel partnerships. Pricing changes. You don't need ten of them. You need the right one, executed well.

That's what we do.

Good fit
  • $1M–$50M annual revenue, B2B services
  • Owner is actively involved in the business
  • Real work to point to. Real customers to talk to.
  • Willing to act on what the research shows
Not a fit
  • Pre-revenue, pre-product, pre-customer
  • Looking for a Squarespace template designer
  • Anyone who needs convincing that research beats opinion
03 / DIAGNOSTIC

The seven reports. Each one surfaces a different growth bet.

01
DIAGNOSTIC

Intake Audit

Twelve modules covering security, SEO, citations, conversion, content, infrastructure, schema, mobile, email, competitors. The starting picture.

02
CUSTOMER

ICP Definition

Who you should be selling to, scored across five dimensions. Not who you wish you were selling to. Who actually closes, pays well, and refers.

03
POSITIONING

Competitive Lane Map

Where you sit relative to the alternatives a buyer is weighing. What the white space is. What lane you can credibly take.

04
DEMAND

Demand-Side Research

Where buyers actually search, what they read, who they trust, what triggers them to move. Built from real signals, not personas.

05
CONTENT

Content Gap Analysis

What questions your buyers are asking that no one in your space is answering well. Where the rankable, useful, brand-building content lives.

06
CHANNEL

Channel-Fit Analysis

Search, email, LinkedIn, partnerships, GBP, events, referrals. Which ones return for your specific business. Which ones to leave alone.

07
OPERATIONS

Operational Diagnostic

Where the business loses time, money, or buyer trust before BD even gets a shot. Often the highest-leverage finding of the seven.

RECURRING

Run them on cadence

Monthly engagements re-run the relevant reports against new data, surface what's changing, and act on it. The reports aren't a one-time exercise. They're the engine.

04 / WORK

Selected engagements.

01 225 Repair FACILITIES & CHAINS Repositioned a regional handyman into the crew restaurant chains call when something breaks across the South.
02 IPD INDUSTRIAL DISTRIBUTION OEM touch-up program strategy for an industrial paint distributor — custom-matched, custom-labeled aerosol cans shipped with every build.
03 KTG Lawn Services PROPERTY MANAGEMENT Segmented lead pages built specifically for property managers and HOA boards. Eyes-and-ears positioning.
04 PSS PROCESS SERVICE Technical services repositioning and video content for a regional process serving firm.
05 True Craft Architecture AEC 90-day operational schedule and one-pager produced as the working document for a residential architecture firm.
05 / OFFER

The free intake audit.

Twelve modules. Yours, free.

The same diagnostic we run on every paying client. Run on your business. Delivered as a forty-page report. No call required, no commitment, no obligation.

If what we surface is useful, we can talk about acting on it together. If it isn't, you keep the report and we wish you well. Either way you walk away with the most honest picture of your digital footprint you've gotten this year.

Audits run weekly. We take a small number. Owner-operated B2B services in the $1M–$50M range get priority.
