DURATE × BUZZLEAD · THE HIVE · SEPTEMBER 2026
BuzzLead

Welcome to the Hive, Durate.

Michael, we just finished a run with Lumion, vertical SaaS for trade schools with a first marketing hire and no outbound. Durate is shaped the same way. It would have been wrong not to get this in front of you. So: a jar of honey, and the plan.

Underneath the jar: every US physician group mapped, the 4,500 that look like Brown Emergency Medicine, and three campaigns we'd run for Durate in the next 30 days.

Section 01 · Why there's honey on your desk

Three things came with the jar.

01

The honey

Raw, from a US apiary. Something you'll open instead of file.

02

This page

Your market sized, the customers you already win and the accounts that look like them, and three campaigns: TAM, lookalike, intent. Built for Durate.

03

The call

Twenty minutes with Troy and Nick. We bring the account list we'd start with. You tell us where to start.

Section 02 · The company shaped like you

Lumion: zero pipeline to 50+ meetings in 31 days.

Vertical SaaS for trade and technical schools. First marketing hire, no outbound, a niche of 10,000 to 30,000 schools. We mapped five sub-verticals, timed the CDL play to a Pell Grant policy window, and routed replies straight to their SDRs. Same shape as Durate: a public registry of buyers, a scheduling decision forced by coverage gaps, and a two-person team that needs pipeline now.

In the span of a month, we've had well over 100 positive responses. We've scheduled 45 to 55-plus meetings with an 80% hold rate.Andrew Jones, Head of Marketing, Lumion

Section 03 · The sweet part

What could be sweeter than 2,700 to 4,500 more of your best customers?

You already have the dream ones: the physician groups that grow, retain, and refer others without being asked. We take those, run them through our lookalike tool, and find another 2,700 to 4,500 that look exactly like them. Then we run hyper-personalized, highly targeted outreach to every one.

Same size, same setup, same reasons to buy as the accounts on the right. Modeled, not guessed.

YOUR DREAM CUSTOMERS
  • Brown Emergency Medicine75%+ decrease in physician complaints, 100% of time-off requests honored
2,700 to 4,500physician groups that look exactly like them
Section 04 · Your market, sized

Every cell is a physician group.

Every physician group with 10 or more physicians sits in the CMS NPPES group NPI registry and state medical licensing boards, with practice size, specialty, and location. We build the list from that, enrich the buyers, and time the sends to the fiscal-year scheduling cycle.

Section 05 · Intent

You're the first supplier that comes to mind.

We'll actively monitor all 18,000 US physician group practices and reach out when the right signal shows up, so Durate is the first name a medical director thinks of when physician scheduling comes up.

  • New medical director or CMO hireHospital press releases and LinkedIn. Year-one leaders reset the scheduling stack.
  • Locum tenens spend spikeStaffing agency press and state cost reports. Signals chronic coverage gaps.
  • EHR or practice management migrationState HIE filings and vendor press releases. Scheduling integrations get revisited during cutover.
  • Physician turnover reportedState medical board filings show departures. Fewer bodies means harder manual scheduling.
  • Joint Commission or CMS survey scheduledPublic survey calendars. Coverage and compliance gaps get flagged before the visit.
  • Group merger or acquisitionState ownership change filings and press. Combined groups need one scheduling system, not three.

Section 06 · Three strategies, deployed together

TAM, lookalike, intent. Every angle, from day one.

This isn't one list and one email. We deploy three strategies at once, each with its own angle: the whole market gets the offer, the accounts that mirror your best customers get the proof, and anyone showing a buying signal gets a note the week it happens. Then we double down on whichever one the market answers.

STRATEGY 1 · TAM

Own the whole market

TargetThe ~4,500 physician groups in your sweet spot: 10 to 200 physicians, medical director and practice administrator enriched from the CMS NPPES group NPI registry
AngleOne shared system for coverage, payroll and compliance instead of spreadsheets and group texts
~4,500 ACCOUNTS
STRATEGY 2 · LOOKALIKE

Mirror your best customers

TargetGroups that look like Brown Emergency Medicine: multi-site emergency or hospital-based practices covering 5 or more facilities
AngleLead with the 7-hospital coverage story and what changed after Durate
~2,700+ ACCOUNTS
STRATEGY 3 · INTENT

Catch them in-market

TargetGroups showing a buying signal this quarter: new medical director hire, EHR migration, locum tenens spend spike, or a Joint Commission survey on the calendar
AngleA one-to-one note written from the signal, sent the week it happens
~2,000 PER YEAR ACCOUNTS

Section 08 · Join the Hive

The honey was the easy part.

Michael, we'll walk the three strategies above, show you the accounts we'd start with, and tell you what it would take. No deck.
