KRT Digital builds AI-powered pipeline systems for Twin Cities manufacturers who've outgrown referrals and trade shows as their only source of new business.
Referral pipelines break.
You run a manufacturing company in the Twin Cities. Revenue is somewhere between $5M and $50M. Your sales team knows what they're doing. But growth has been flat, and most of your new business still comes from people who already know your name.
Most manufacturers get 60-80% of new business from referrals and repeat customers. That works until a key rep retires. Or a major account consolidates vendors. Or a competitor hires your salesperson.
Then you're left with a website from 2014, no CRM, and a phone that stopped ringing.
You've tried agencies before. They spent six months learning what a tolerance is.
The cost of
waiting compounds.
If any of these sound familiar, you probably already know. The expensive part is how long the gap between knowing and acting usually lasts.
Revenue has plateaued.
Referrals got you to $15M. They won't get you to $30M. Adding another sales rep doesn't help if there's no lead source feeding them.
Your top rep is close to retirement.
When they leave, the relationships leave with them. If your pipeline lives in someone's head, it's not a pipeline.
Trade shows aren't paying off.
You spent $40K on a booth at FABTECH and came home with 12 business cards. Six were vendors trying to sell you something.
The Pipeline
Operating System.
Four layers. Each one builds on the last. The system runs whether you're watching it or not.
Three companies.
Real numbers.
Three clients. Three different starting points. Same operating approach.
Scored OEM markets to find the next sales opportunity. Surfaced a multi-billion-dollar adjacent market the sales team hadn't pursued. Delivered in weeks, actionable immediately.
Built the entire sales and marketing operation from zero. From no online presence to qualified sales conversations with target-tier buyers within 90 days, and a team that knows how to keep producing them.
Took pipeline from an unpredictable month-to-month stretch to a compounding operation where every channel feeds the next and the team can forecast what's coming.
Why us.
Four commitments other agencies don't make.
Manufacturing is all we do.
Every benchmark, every playbook, every framework was shaped around companies that make physical products and sell to other businesses. You never pay us to learn your industry.
AI-enabled, not AI-dependent.
We use AI to test 12 message variations in 30 days instead of 6 months, produce content at 4x the pace of a traditional agency, and build systems in 90 days that would take most firms a year. The AI does the repetitive work. Your strategist does the thinking.
Strategy and execution. One team.
The person who writes the plan is the person who builds the thing. One group is accountable for whether the pipeline works, from the first diagnosis to the campaign running on a Tuesday in month fourteen.
You own everything.
Campaigns, content, accounts, configurations, documentation. All of it lives with you, in your tools, under your logins. If you end the engagement, the pipeline keeps running without us.
Built by people who've done this before.
KRT Digital was founded by Kurt Schmidt, who started his first company at 19. He's built and run businesses from startup to 500+ employees, made the Inc. 5000 list, and written three books on growth.
KRT Digital exists because manufacturers deserve the same kind of pipeline infrastructure that SaaS companies have had for years. Built by a team that knows what a tolerance is.
