Lumen Health

CAC payback 41 → 19 days

Lumen Health was generating leads but burning cash to close them. We rewrote the positioning, rebuilt the marketing site on Next.js 14, and routed visitors by intent — CAC payback dropped from 41 days to 19.

The problem

What was broken

Lumen Health's site treated every visitor identically — clinicians, hospital admins, and curious investors all landed on the same hero. Demo-request rate was 1.1%, but the SDR team was burning hours on bad-fit leads. CAC payback sat at 41 days against a 30-day target. The marketing team had been A/B testing button colours for six months with no movement.

The approach

What we did

  1. 1

    Ran 12 customer interviews and re-segmented the audience into three jobs-to-be-done. Rewrote messaging for each.

  2. 2

    Rebuilt the site on Next.js 14 App Router with three distinct landing experiences routed by traffic source and UTM.

  3. 3

    Redesigned the pricing page around outcomes rather than feature checklists. Added an ROI calculator that emails the result.

  4. 4

    Wired Segment + HubSpot so every form fill knows the visitor's journey. SDRs see context before the first call.

  5. 5

    Built a self-serve demo (interactive product tour) for top-of-funnel and an SDR-routed demo for high-intent.

Timeline

Our SDRs stopped complaining and our CFO stopped grimacing. Payback halved in one quarter — that's the only metric that mattered.
