Every figure on this site is a count of work we have done. Pipeline and closed revenue are our clients’ results, and results vary. Replies are shown as they arrived, with senders blurred at source.

03 Method

Test the message before you scale it.

Most agencies scale on day one and find out in month three that the message never worked. We find out first, on purpose, then spend the volume.

The database

Ten databases,
one clean list.

No single database is complete or current. We cross-reference them, so a gap or a stale record in one gets caught by another. It is built for your market, and it is yours.

  • Apollo
  • Lusha
  • FindyMail
  • Cognism
  • ZoomInfo
  • Seamless.ai
  • Beauhurst
  • Hunter
  • + two we keep to ourselves

Every lead is verified before it enters a campaign, and arrives with at least six personalisation variables and full firmographics attached.

The cut

Many enter. One takes the volume.

VOLUME GOES TO

THE WINNER

The sequence

Five moves, in order, every time.

  • 01

    Define the ICPs

    Always first. Who buys, who signs, and which of them your product is unmistakably for. Sometimes it is two personas, sometimes five.

  • 02

    Build the database

    Ten sources cross-referenced into one verified list for that ICP, every record carrying the variables the engine writes from. Built once, handed over, yours.

  • 03

    Write the variants

    A set of angles per ICP, each in several variants. They run against each other at the same time, at a pace that keeps the result readable.

  • 04

    Measure what hits

    Reply rate is the first read, not the last. A variant that earns replies but no meetings loses. So does one that books meetings that never close.

  • 05

    Scale the winner

    Volume goes behind the variant that survived all three measures. The test keeps running behind it, because every winner decays.

Why the order matters

A burned list
does not come back.

Scale first and every address you touch with the wrong message is spent. You do not get a second first impression with the same market.

Testing at a readable pace costs a few weeks. Skipping it costs the list. That trade has a correct answer.

The rest of the engine.

  • 01The engineA model trained on four million sent emails learned the science of cold email. Subject, length, the right ask per persona. It writes with it.
  • 02DeliverabilityWe build the sending stack rather than rent it. Mailboxes, custom SMTP and our own sending servers, sized to your volume.
  • 04SignalsAn engine built around your ICP that watches the market daily and fires the week a company becomes worth contacting.
  • 05LinkedInThe other half of outbound, on the same timeline as the email. Connection and message sequences from your team's real profiles, plus the founder content that warms the market first.
  • 06Reply agentAn agent trained on your voice, your product and your customers. Every reply answered within 30 minutes.
  • 07AutomationsWhat happens the second a reply lands. Interested leads reach your CRM and your team without anyone copying anything.
