Our Approach

Mike’s ideal client avatar is VERY specific - which meant we had to really hone in the targeting.

We needed to find a way to generate ONLY people with credit scores of 700+ who had a business open for at least 2 years, and had a clean credit profile.

So, our team decided the best course of action would be a “Quiz Funnel”

Basically, we used a custom built quiz that asked about 10 questions and was designed to filter out all the “bad fits”

From there, all we needed to do was dial in our targeting and launch the ads…

The Takeaway

Organic marketing and word of mouth are great - but they can only take you so far...

When you really want to pump up the volume, paid ads can be like gasoline pouring on an open flame.

BUT - if you're working with the wrong agency, those ad dollars can go down the drain.

When your ready to run ads, do your research and make the right choice.

Find someone that understands your audience, and how to put you in front of the right eyeballs.

PS... if you haven't guessed already, that's us ;)

What Our Clients Are Saying...

Real Clients. Real Results.

Mitch A. Nelson

General Partner of Funding Impact

"Top Tier. Honestly - one of the most reputable and reliable marketing firms I've ever worked with.

I've worked with 5 different agencies before coming to Manic - and NONE of them cared about the success of my business as much as the Manic team does.

Highly recommend at least having a conversation with the team to see if they can help you as much as they've helped me."

Marcus Wendt

C.E.O of Awareness Business Group

"There are a TON of marketing agencies out there just trying to make a buck.

And to be honest - before I started working with Manic, I assumed they were just like all the others.

I was wrong.

The results they have produced for my company are nothing short of amazing.

I could not have asked for a better marketing firm."

Michael Irizarry

Founder of Gateway Capital Growth

"I wanted to start a new business - but knew NOTHING about marketing. All I knew is that if I was going to be success I needed a strong team to get me there.

Manic Marketing is that team.

Within just DAYS of running ads I was FLOODED with new clients.

The team there is sharp - and genuinely cares about the results they produce.

So thankful to have found them"

How AI Can Help Business Funding Companies Close More Deals

How AI Can Help Business Funding Companies Close More Deals

AI Marketing
April 01, 2025•2 min read

Getting business owners to say "yes" to funding isn’t always about the numbers—it’s about trust, speed, and timing.

The problem? Most business funding companies are losing deals simply because they can’t engage prospects fast enough or follow up consistently. AI changes that.

1. AI Responds Instantly (Before Your Competitors Do)

Speed matters. If a prospect fills out a funding inquiry and doesn’t hear back within minutes, they’re moving on.

AI-driven chatbots and automated messaging tools engage leads the second they show interest, answering questions, pre-qualifying them, and booking calls on autopilot.

No more losing deals because your team is busy or slow to respond.

2. AI Personalizes Follow-Ups at Scale

Most funding companies send generic follow-ups that get ignored. AI fixes that.

Using lead data, AI customizes every message based on a prospect’s business type, funding needs, and previous interactions.

Instead of another “Just following up” email, AI sends relevant, personalized messages that move the deal forward.

3. AI Nurtures Cold Leads Until They’re Ready to Buy

Not every business owner will say yes immediately. That doesn’t mean they won’t need funding later.

AI-powered email sequences keep your brand top-of-mind with value-driven content, reminders, and timely check-ins.

So when they’re finally ready to move forward, you’re the first company they call.

4. AI Qualifies Prospects Without Wasting Your Team’s Time

Funding companies waste hours talking to leads who aren’t qualified. AI can filter out bad leads automatically by asking the right pre-screening questions.

Instead of dealing with unqualified prospects, your team spends their time closing deals with high-intent buyers.

5. AI Creates Automated Sales Pipelines That Never Drop the Ball

AI keeps every lead moving through the pipeline—without letting anyone slip through the cracks.

From the first touchpoint to deal closing, AI tracks and manages conversations across emails, social media, and CRM systems.

This means your team always knows:
✅ Who needs a follow-up
✅ Which deals are close to closing
✅ What objections need addressing

AI Won’t Replace Salespeople—It’ll Make Them Unstoppable

AI isn’t here to replace your sales team. It’s here to give them superpowers.

By automating outreach, follow-ups, and lead qualification, AI lets your team focus on what they do best: closing deals.

Manic Marketing helps business funding companies plug AI into their sales process to generate more leads, book more calls, and close more deals.
