Quick Summary
A residential solar installer was buying scattered leads from three channels with no consistent scoring or routing. GetLeadExpo built a single lead-gen pipeline: verified email prospecting, LinkedIn outreach, and Meta ads all feeding into HubSpot via n8n. The team now handles inquiries in one place with more efficient workflows and better lead organization.
Client challenge
What the team was struggling with
Three lead sources (LinkedIn, cold email, Meta) all landed in different tools with no unified view.
Sales reps often re-contacted the same homeowner from two different channels.
Lead scoring was manual and inconsistent between reps.
Weekly reporting took hours because data lived in disconnected spreadsheets.
Our solution
How GetLeadExpo solved it
We built a single lead pipeline. Verified email lists and LinkedIn outreach are managed centrally; Meta ad leads flow through the Meta API. Every lead is deduped, scored, and routed to HubSpot with an owner assigned automatically by territory. n8n handles all routing and reporting.

Expected Results
Expected results
Qualitative outcomes observed after go-live.
Better lead organization
Every lead lives in HubSpot with source, owner, and stage from day one.
Faster inquiry handling
New leads are assigned within minutes rather than at the end of the day.
More efficient workflows
Reps spend time selling instead of hunting for lead context across tools.
Improved response consistency
Standardised first-touch templates keep every rep's outreach on-message.
Lessons learned
What we'd tell the next team
Nailing the ICP up front produced better results than adding more channels later.
Cross-channel dedup is essential once you run LinkedIn and cold email in parallel.
Owning UTM discipline inside Meta ads made HubSpot reporting reliable.
Sales reps adopted the system faster once weekly reports were automated.
