GTM engineering

Outbound that starts with a reason to reach out.

Instead of buying a list, the pipeline watches for a buying signal such as a job post, researches the company, finds the right person, verifies their email and drafts a short outcome-focused message. A person approves before anything sends. Every reply teaches the next round.

Step 01 of 08

Spot the signal

A company that posts a job is telling you what it needs. If you sell bookkeeping software and a company is hiring a bookkeeper, that is your cue. An agent sources fresh job posts and extracts the hiring company.

  1. 01 · Spot the signal

    A company that posts a job is telling you what it needs. If you sell bookkeeping software and a company is hiring a bookkeeper, that is your cue. An agent sources fresh job posts and extracts the hiring company.

    Tools: LinkedIn Jobs, Apify. Output: Signal.

  2. 02 · Research the company

    The agent builds a short brief: what the company sells, how big it is, what it runs on and anything recent that matters to your pitch.

    Tools: Exa. Output: Company.

  3. 03 · Map the org

    Who runs the function you sell into? The agent pulls the org structure so it can see titles, seniority and reporting lines instead of guessing.

    Tools: Apollo. Output: Org.

  4. 04 · Pick the decision maker

    Using titles and org structure, the agent picks the one person most likely to own the problem and the budget, with its reasoning written down.

    Tools: Velum agent. Output: Buyer.

  5. 05 · Find and verify the email

    A waterfall enrichment tries several providers in order until one returns an address, then a verifier confirms it is deliverable so your domain stays healthy.

    Tools: Waterfall enrichment, MillionVerifier. Output: Email.

  6. 06 · Build the market map

    Every company and contact lands in your own database. Over weeks this becomes a live map of your total addressable market, segmented by the signals that matter.

    Tools: Postgres. Output: Segment.

  7. 07 · Write the outreach

    A three-word subject line and an email under 160 characters that talks about the outcome they want, not your features. It is queued in your sending tool and a person approves it before it goes.

    Tools: Instantly. Output: Outreach. A person approves before this step completes.

  8. 08 · Learn from replies

    Positive replies are tagged and fed back into the first step, so the next round of research favours the signals and segments that actually answer.

    Tools: Velum agent. Output: Learning.

Hours saved and ROI

What it is worth to your team.

Start from our defaults for this pipeline, then move the sliders to your numbers. The maths is simple and shown.

Hours reclaimed15 hper SDR, every week

Based on 40 prospects a day at about 25 minutes of manual sourcing, research and enrichment each, replaced by roughly five hours a week of reviewing and approving.

Worked example

Three SDRs each spending 20 hours a week on sourcing and research at a $45 loaded hourly cost: about 45 hours reclaimed every week, roughly $105,000 a year in capacity, against a build of three to five weeks.

Gross capacity, not cash savings. Excludes implementation, software and supervision costs, which are quoted before we start.

Questions about this pipeline

01

What counts as a buying signal?

Anything public that shows the need you solve: a job post, a new hire, a funding round, a tech-stack change, a review complaining about a competitor. Job posts are the easiest place to start because they name the function and the pain.

02

Will this hurt our email domain?

The pipeline only sends to verified addresses, keeps volume per mailbox low and requires a person to approve each batch. Warm-up and sending limits are configured in your sending tool during implementation.

03

Do we need all of these tools?

No. Each step has several capable providers and we connect the ones you already pay for where possible. The audit lists the exact stack and monthly costs before we build.

04

How long until the first emails go out?

A supervised pilot on one signal and one segment typically runs within two to three weeks of scoping, with the first approved batch sent during the pilot.

Want this running for your team?

We scope one signal and one segment, run a supervised pilot, and hand over a pipeline your team owns.
