⚡Challenge

When The JPI Group and Career Equity approached Stormbreaker Digital, they had a bold vision: establish themselves as thought leaders at the intersection of three traditionally siloed sectors—energy efficiency, healthcare, and workforce development. They needed to prove that workforce development could serve as healing infrastructure for communities.

The challenge? They were starting from zero. No audience built in this space. No brand recognition for this integrated approach. And they needed decision-makers from utilities, healthcare systems, workforce boards, and government agencies all in the same room.

Stormbreaker Digital deployed The Scalable Trust Method—our proven framework for building authority and pipeline through strategic LinkedIn campaigns and content-driven webinars. The results exceeded all expectations.

Campaign Results at a Glance

1. Building a Cross-Sector Audience

The energy efficiency industry, healthcare systems, and workforce development organizations rarely speak the same language—much less gather in the same room. JPI needed to attract senior decision-makers from all three sectors and convince them this integration was worth their time.

2. Establishing Credibility in a Novel Concept

Workforce development as healing infrastructure was a powerful but unproven concept. JPI had to establish thought leadership on a topic that didn't exist in market consciousness. This required more than awareness—it required education and trust.

3. Converting Awareness into Pipeline

JPI wasn't just looking for webinar registrations—they needed qualified leads ready to engage in six-figure consulting engagements. The campaign had to identify buying signals, capture decision-maker information, and create immediate follow-up opportunities.

4. Limited Marketing Resources

As a lean organization, JPI needed a partner who could drive the entire campaign—from strategy to execution to follow-up. This wasn't about supplementing an existing marketing team; this was about building a complete marketing engine from scratch.

"We needed to prove that energy, health, and workforce aren't separate conversations—they're three sides of the same solution. Stormbreaker helped us make that case to the exact people who could act on it."

🚀 Solution

The Scalable Trust Method

Stormbreaker Digital deployed The Scalable Trust Method, our proprietary framework for building authority and accelerating sales cycles in high-trust industries. This methodology integrates three critical elements: strategic connection building, authentic content creation, and systematic conversation generation.

Phase 1: Strategic Planning & Positioning (Weeks 1-2)

Webinar Topic Development

Working collaboratively with JPI's leadership, we developed the positioning for Healing Communities Through Workforce: Where Energy, Health, and Affordability Converge. This wasn't just a title—it was a positioning statement that would become JPI's market differentiator.

Panelist Curation

We assembled a panel that embodied the cross-sector integration JPI was advocating:

  • Jerry Baake (UVM Health) - Healthcare workforce transformation
  • Brynn Cooksey - Energy efficiency technical training
  • Antuan Cannon (Willdan) - Utility-scale program implementation
  • HG Chissell - Data-driven health equity framework

Comprehensive Messaging Playbook

We created a 40-page panel playbook that went beyond typical talking points. This document integrated research from Department of Energy data, Bureau of Labor Statistics projections, and peer-reviewed health studies to give panelists factual, authoritative messaging. The playbook became both a prep document and a post-event reference asset.

Phase 2: Audience Development (Weeks 3-6)

LeadStorm AI Platform Deployment

Using Stormbreaker's proprietary LeadStorm AI platform, we executed a sophisticated multi-channel outreach campaign:

  • LinkedIn Connection Campaigns: Targeted 5,000+ professionals across energy, healthcare, and workforce sectors
  • Personalized Messaging: AI-enhanced but authentically written messages from Paul Douglas's LinkedIn profile
  • Cold Email Sequences: 7-mailbox infrastructure sending 1,750 emails/day with 31% open rates
  • Strategic Post Boosting: $400 investment generated 19,000 impressions and 2,700+ event page views

Content-Driven Promotion

We created and deployed multi-week LinkedIn content campaigns for each panelist and sponsor organization:

  • 20+ LinkedIn posts across Paul Douglas, panelists, and JPI organizational pages
  • Teaser content highlighting health-energy-workforce connections
  • Poll-based engagement to build anticipation and gather pre-event intelligence

Phase 3: Event Execution & Engagement (Week 7)

Technical Production

Stormbreaker managed all technical aspects of the 60-minute webinar:

  • Zoom platform optimization for enterprise-grade webinar experience
  • Real-time technical troubleshooting (audio, connectivity, participant management)
  • Live outreach during webinar to re-engage no-shows
  • Transcript capture and chat monitoring for lead intelligence

Strategic Polling Framework

We deployed 5 strategic polls designed not just for engagement, but for sales intelligence:

  • Industry/Sector Identification
  • Current Workforce Challenges
  • Funding Strategy Needs
  • Implementation Timeline
  • Interest in Follow-Up Support

These polls achieved 82 responses (77% participation rate among live attendees) and provided crucial data for post-event follow-up prioritization.

Phase 4: Pipeline Conversion (Weeks 8-12)

Comprehensive After-Action Analysis

Within 48 hours of the webinar, Stormbreaker delivered three strategic documents:

  • Webinar After-Action Report: 30-page analysis of brand impact, content performance, and strategic recommendations
  • Sales Intelligence Report: Tier 1-3 lead prioritization with specific outreach recommendations and estimated deal values
  • Poll Analysis: Deep dive into audience pain points and buying signals
  • Chat Activity Analysis: Relationship mapping and engagement scoring

Personalized Follow-Up Campaigns

We created tiered follow-up strategies based on engagement levels:

  • Tier 1 (Hot Leads): Personal video messages from Paul Douglas, custom one-pagers for specific organizational needs
  • Tier 2 (Warm Leads): Personalized LinkedIn connections with sector-specific messaging
  • Tier 3 (General Attendees): Recording access, resource hub, survey for future engagement
