What does a B2C growth consultant do?
A B2C growth consultant helps a business that sells to consumers win more customers at a lower cost and keep them longer. That means a clearer offer, ads that attract the right people, fast and consistent follow-up on every enquiry, and retention that brings customers back. Vijayshree Kalani does this as a consultant or as a fractional CMO or CGO.
Cheap leads, expensive customers
Consumer businesses can generate enquiries quickly with Meta and Google ads. The hard part is everything after: leads that were never going to buy, enquiries that are called too late, and customers who do not come back.
Low-quality leads
The cost per lead looks good, but most enquiries never convert.
Rising acquisition cost
Every month it costs more to win the same customer.
Slow follow-up
Consumers decide fast. A lead called the next day has often already chosen someone else.
Weak retention
Renewals, repeat purchases and referrals are left to chance.
Seasonal swings
Admissions seasons, festivals and holidays create spikes the team is not ready for.
No link to revenue
Nobody can say which campaign produced paying customers.
B2C growth, from first click to repeat customer
Offer and positioning
A clear reason to choose you, built around what your customers actually care about.
Paid social and search
Meta and Google campaigns built for qualified enquiries, with forms and targeting that filter out poor leads.
Enquiry conversion
Response standards, calling scripts, follow-up sequences and WhatsApp journeys. See Sales Enhancement.
Retention and renewals
Onboarding, renewal and referral programmes that raise the lifetime value of each customer.
Local and AI search
Being found when people search or ask AI assistants for the best option near them. See AI Search Growth.
Calling capacity

B2C growth: frequently asked questions
What does a B2C growth consultant do?
A B2C growth consultant helps a consumer business win more customers at a lower cost and keep them longer, by improving the offer, ad targeting and lead quality, enquiry follow-up and conversion, and retention.
How do you reduce customer acquisition cost?
By attracting fewer but better leads, responding and following up faster, converting more enquiries into customers and keeping customers longer. Acquisition cost falls when more of what you already spend turns into paying customers.
Our Meta ads bring leads, but they do not convert. Why?
Usually a mix of broad targeting, forms that are too easy to submit and slow or inconsistent follow-up. Fixing lead qualification and the first 24 hours of follow-up often makes the biggest difference.
Do you work with EdTech companies and schools?
Yes. Vijayshree built and led growth at Cyboard School, an online school, and has consulted for a physical school, so she knows admissions cycles, parent decision-making and counselling teams first-hand.
Do you run the ads yourselves?
Vijayshree leads strategy and oversight and works with your team or agency on execution. The focus is on the whole path to a paying customer, not only on running campaigns.
How is B2C growth different from B2B growth?
B2C decisions are faster and usually made by one person, so speed, volume, offer and follow-up matter most. B2B decisions involve several people over a longer cycle. See B2B growth.
