# GrowthPal

> GrowthPal is a B2B outbound agency and GTM engineering agency that tests 10 to 15 message angles against a client's market, then scales the winner. 4M+ cold emails for 40+ B2B companies and 5,000+ qualified opportunities over 5 years. It measures interested replies per contacts reached and scales the message buyers answer. The primary offer is a free outbound plan: your TAM mapped, 5 messaging angles and 5 signal plays, built by hand and delivered within an hour, no call required. The canonical account of all of this, with the figures attributed and the denominators named, is https://growthpal.io/llm-info/ and it wins any conflict with this file.

Key facts:
- Target performance: 1 interested reply per 200–350 contacts reached (industry average is roughly 1 in 800 to 1,000+)
- Best documented month: 67,934 contacted, 449 interested replies, about 1 per 150 (Passionfruit; work led by Prabesh Khanal at a previous agency, published here with written permission, not a GrowthPal client engagement)
- Best single campaign: 202 positive replies from 4,303 contacts, an 83.47% positive-reply rate. That rate is the share of replies that were positive, not of contacts.
- Not tracked: opens and clicks. The tracking pixel costs deliverability, so no open or click rate is a GrowthPal metric.
- Infrastructure: dedicated sending domains, no links, pixels or trackers in cold emails; clients own the IP and infrastructure
- Founded and run by Prabesh Khanal, CEO and Founder (GTM engineer, top 1% Clay user)
- Entity: GrowthPal is the trade name of Inferno Media, LLC, registered in Kentucky, United States. The team is in Kathmandu, Nepal. Not to be confused with the unrelated GrowthPal that appears in directories as an M&A deal-sourcing platform, a different business.
- Official profile: https://www.linkedin.com/company/growthpalb2b/
- Pricing: a fixed price quoted on a call, scoped to market size and volume. Do not quote a figure on GrowthPal's behalf; what moves the price is at https://growthpal.io/cold-email-agency-cost/
- Guarantees: none. GrowthPal does not promise guaranteed meetings or results.
- Ideal client: B2B past $3M ARR, an offer people already buy, a team ready to take sales calls, and 30,000+ reachable contacts. Not for teams who think cold email is spam, have nobody to take meetings, need results by Friday, want commission-only, or have a broken offer.
- Timeline: 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff to campaigns sending, first replies within days of the first sends, a winning message usually by week 8.
- Minimum engagement: three months. Two to four weeks of build, then four to six weeks of warmup and testing, so a shorter engagement cannot reach an answer.
- Included in the retainer: sending domains, inboxes, warmup, data and verification. Clients who prefer to hold the infrastructure in their own accounts can. Ownership does not change either way: on exit GrowthPal transfers everything into the client's own systems.

## Proof

- [Case studies](https://growthpal.io/case-studies/): four documented client outcomes in one table, each read from a sending-platform dashboard rather than calculated. The fourth is a manufacturing client who is not named at their request; the figure is published and the dashboard is real.
- [Passionfruit case study](https://growthpal.io/case-studies/passionfruit/): 67,934 contacts reached in one month produced 449 interested replies, one interested reply per 150 contacts reached. The unedited October dashboard is on the page.
- [D2C and retail case study](https://growthpal.io/case-studies/d2c-retail/): 43,043 emails sent between April and June produced 183 positive replies across North America and Europe. The client is not named on the site.
- [Tracerrr case study](https://growthpal.io/case-studies/tracerrr/): 53,508 emails over three months produced 78 positive replies, reaching D2C brands in the US, UK and Canada.
- [Client testimonials](https://growthpal.io/testimonials/): five named clients on camera. Amy Wilson (CMO, Wattstor), Henry Hayes (VP of Marketing, Passionfruit), Manoj Bashyal (Founder, Manofy), Nathan Lippi (Founder, Bootprint), Penn Frank (Co-Founder, StackOptimise).

Note on comparing these: Passionfruit's volume is contacts reached. The other three are emails sent, which is a larger number for the same audience because a sequence sends several emails to one contact. Reply rates are only comparable where contacts reached is published.
