HouseSavings (HS) partnered with ImpelHub, an Expert-led, AI-enabled growth strategy platform, to build and run a structured go-to-market (GTM) growth program focused on increasing seller inquiries and improving funnel performance through disciplined iteration. Despite the adverse market conditions in Real Estate due to seasonality (Holidays and Year End), HouseSavings was able to achieve above industry average results using strategies provided by ImpelHub.
The engagement began during a holiday and vacation period, when market responsiveness in the real estate industry is typically slower. Rather than forcing outcomes in a low-intent window, ImpelHub used this period to establish control, clarify what to measure, and set the program up for post-holiday acceleration.
The objective was to design and run a repeatable, playbook-led GTM growth program for HouseSavings, focused on increasing real estate seller inquiries and improving overall funnel performance through disciplined, signal driven iteration. The goal was to move away from ad hoc experimentation and toward a structured system that delivers steadier outcomes, even during difficult seasonal periods in real estate.
ImpelHub’s mandate was to operate the strategic and performance layer end-to-end by defining what to test, what to change, what to remove, and how to sequence improvements so results compound over time.
This program was built to improve:
HouseSavings operates in a crowded seller market where trust, value clarity, and message to intent match determine whether prospects click, engage, and inquire.
At the start of the engagement, the issue was not effort or activity. It was the lack of a reliable growth operating system, especially during a low responsiveness window.
HouseSavings needed a system that could:
This engagement was led with ImpelHub acting as the primary GTM operator, owning the strategic operating system, decision framework, and optimization cadence. The project was structured in two phases: a strategy phase with the delivery of a detailed playbook, followed by an execution phase where growth strategies were implemented based strictly on the playbook.
ImpelHub generated a custom playbook that contained growth strategy blueprints with a week-by-week execution roadmap, defining exactly what actions to take and milestones to hit each week. During the strategy phase, ImpelHub delivered the plan and completed the majority of the work, producing the playbook that defined strategy, planning, prioritization, optimization logic, and expert-led inputs, including collaboration with internal experts.
During the execution phase, the HS team and the partner agency followed the steps outlined in the playbook. The HS team focused on executing those weekly actions towards the defined target KPIs. ImpelHub continued to guide optimization decisions and adjustments, while HouseSavings primarily observed and provided approvals and business context as needed to keep execution aligned.
ImpelHub assumed control of the GTM structure during the year end holiday and New Year window, when market responsiveness is typically muted. The playbook provided a week by week strategy and optimization roadmap, defining exactly what to change and what to do each week based on performance signals. Our partner agency followed the execution steps prescribed in the playbook as the operating guide.
Instead of chasing short-term volume, ImpelHub used this phase to:
The goal of Phase 1 was control and signal clarity. Early outcomes were constrained by seasonal behavior, but CTR and lead flow became steadier as the system stabilized.
During this phase, performance became more consistent and predictable, even while the market was still partially affected by holiday lag.
Once vacation cycles ended and intent normalized, ImpelHub shifted the system from stabilization to acceleration.
Because the structure, messaging, and decision framework had already been built during the slow period, the program was positioned to capture demand efficiently rather than re-learn fundamentals. This is where performance began compounding faster, setting up the breakout you describe in Results.
Most marketing slows down when results are weak because teams do not know what to change.
The ImpelHub study gave HouseSavings a structure to operate with:
2 combos (1 competitor × 2 dimensions)
20 combos $5 per additional combo
100 combos $4 per additional combo
280 combos $3 per additional combo
7 Steps / 8 – 10 days / 2 – 3 hours of your time
