Case study
Flexidrive: +114% instructor growth
An outbound campaign for Flexidrive, a driving-instructor booking app, running since April 2026.
37 → 79instructors on the platform
900+outbound calls made
+114%growth since April 2026
The approach
- 50 calls a week to driving instructors, introducing the platform and its guaranteed hourly rate
- A three-step follow-up email sequence after every call
- Ongoing contact to move interested instructors from onboarded to active
Why it worked
- Consistent weekly volume. The agreed number of calls, every single week.
- Same-day, relevant follow-up. Every call followed up the same day, matched to how the conversation went.
- Real examples, not generic pitches. Calls used real instructor examples instead of a generic sales pitch.

The alternative
Hiring in-house vs. The BD Desk
The same outbound function, without the hiring risk or the overhead.
| In-house BD executive | The BD Desk (Standard) | |
|---|---|---|
| Annual cost | €48,000–€55,000+ (salary, PRSI, recruitment, equipment) | €21,600, plus €299 one-off setup |
| Time to productive | 2–3 month ramp-up | Calling within two weeks of kickoff |
| Commitment | Recruitment risk, notice periods, sick and holiday cover | 6-week trial, then 30 days' notice. No employment obligations. |
| Management | Yours to carry | Included, with monthly reporting and a check-in call |
In-house figures are an indicative estimate for a full-time BD executive in Ireland.
Recruitment
When new business means new hires
The BD Desk is also a licensed employment agency. If the pipeline we build creates roles you need to fill, we can run the search too, so you're working with one partner who already knows your business and your market.
