PARLEY × BUZZLEAD · THE HIVE · SEPTEMBER 2026
BuzzLead

Welcome to the Hive, Parley.

Philip, we just finished a run with Lumion, vertical SaaS for trade schools with a first marketing hire and no outbound. Parley 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 immigration law firm mapped, the 2,500 that look like your best customers, and three campaigns we'd run for Parley 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 Parley.

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 Lumion: a public directory of buyers, a seasonal purchase cycle, and a seed-stage team that needs its first 50 meetings fast.

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 1,400 to 2,400 more of your best customers?

You already have the dream ones: the immigration law firms that grow, retain, and refer others without being asked. We take those, run them through our lookalike tool, and find another 1,400 to 2,400 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.

Section 04 · Your market, sized

Every cell is a immigration law firm.

Every immigration-focused firm sits in AILA's membership directory and state bar rolls, with attorney names, practice areas and firm size. We build the list from that, enrich the buyers, and time the sends to cap season and RFE cycles.

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 ~2,500 firms in your sweet spot: 2 to 20 attorneys focused on employment-based immigration, enriched from AILA membership rolls
AngleCap season and RFE deadlines pile up faster than associates can draft, so firms need an AI associate now
~2,500 ACCOUNTS
STRATEGY 2 · LOOKALIKE

Mirror your best customers

TargetFirms that look like Erickson Immigration Group and Murthy Law Firm: multi-attorney employment-based practices with high-volume O-1, EB-1 and H-1B caseloads
AngleLead with the firm they already resemble and the hours Parley cut from their drafting
~1,400+ ACCOUNTS
STRATEGY 3 · INTENT

Catch them in-market

TargetFirms showing a buying signal this quarter: new immigration attorney hire, RFE volume spike, cap season staffing push, or new O-1/EB-1 practice page
AngleA one-to-one note written from the signal, sent the week it happens
