MIA LABS × BUZZLEAD · THE HIVE · SEPTEMBER 2026
BuzzLead

Welcome to the Hive, Mia Labs.

Brian, we just finished a run with Lumion, vertical SaaS for trade schools with a first marketing hire and no outbound. Mia Labs 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 franchised dealership mapped, the 5,000 that look like Earnhardt and Southeast Toyota, and three campaigns we'd run for Mia Labs 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 Mia Labs.

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 registry of buyers, a sales cycle driven by a named decision maker, and a marketing 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 dealerships 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.

Section 04 · Your market, sized

Every cell is a dealership.

Every US franchised dealership sits in a public dataset with rooftop count, franchise brand, and the GM and internet sales director who sign off. We build the list from that, enrich the buyers, and time the sends to hiring and inventory signals.

Section 05 · Intent

You're the first supplier that comes to mind.

We'll actively monitor all 18,000 US franchised dealerships and reach out the moment the right signal shows up, so Mia Labs is the first name a General Manager thinks of when internet lead response comes up.

  • New General Manager or Internet Sales Director hireDealer trade press and LinkedIn list new hires. Year-one GMs reset the tech stack.
  • Internet Sales or BDC job postingIndeed and dealer career pages. Hiring for lead response signals a gap Mia Labs fills.
  • Dealer group acquisition or new rooftopNADA and Automotive News M&A trackers. New stores need a unified lead-response stack.
  • CRM or chat vendor contract renewalState procurement filings and vendor press releases list renewal windows.
  • Google review spike on response timeGoogle Business Profile reviews. Slow lead-response complaints show a live pain point.
  • Franchise allocation increaseOEM press releases and dealer forums. More inventory means more leads to convert fast.

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 ~5,000 dealerships in your sweet spot: 300+ new units/year, franchised rooftops with GM and Internet Sales Director enriched from Google Maps and state dealer license rolls
AngleEvery internet lead answered in seconds instead of hours, without adding headcount
~5,000 ACCOUNTS
STRATEGY 2 · LOOKALIKE

Mirror your best customers

TargetDealerships that mirror Earnhardt and Southeast Toyota: multi-rooftop groups with high lead volume and dedicated internet sales teams
AngleLead with the dealer group they already know and the lift Mia Labs delivered after go live
~2,700+ ACCOUNTS
STRATEGY 3 · INTENT

Catch them in-market

TargetDealerships showing a buying signal this quarter: new GM hire, internet sales director job posting, or CRM/chat vendor contract expiring
AngleA one-to-one note written from the signal, sent the week it happens
~1,000 PER QUARTER ACCOUNTS

The honey was the easy part.

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