Outbound GTM that wins

A managed outbound agency for B2B companies. Our data pipeline finds who's ready to buy, and every message does a slice of your work first. We call it Earned Outreach.

Cold email + LinkedIn

You've tried outbound before.

The report looked great: thousands sent, strong open rates, dozens of replies. Then you read the replies. And you were still the one doing the selling.

01 A bought list and one template go out to 2,000 people in the same week.

02 1,220 open it. 1,962 never reply.

03 38 people reply.

04 Most replies are unsubscribes, auto-replies and noes.

05 2 are interested. Neither turns into a client.

Why it didn't work

So we rebuilt outbound in that order.

Built on the Leddy data pipeline.

Most agencies buy a list and send one template. Our pipeline maps your whole market and acts only on real buying signals.

Keep only the signals that mean buying

Hi Dana,

I hope you're doing well! I came across Fabrikam and was really impressed by what your team is building in expense management.

As more buyers research software with AI tools, brands that aren't optimized for AI search risk getting left behind.

We help B2B SaaS companies like yours show up in AI answers with our proven GEO framework. Our clients typically see up to 3x more AI citations in 90 days.

Would you be open to a quick 15-minute call next week to see if it's a fit?

Best,
Alex

Hi Dana,

I asked AI search "best expense software for a 100-person company" 10 times this morning.

Contoso came up 9 times. Fabrikam didn't come up once, even though you're the only one with native NetSuite sync.

So I made you a 3-page doc on fixing that. Want me to send it over?

Sam

P.S. Building the only native NetSuite sync is real work. It should be the first thing people hear about you.

  • Let us know what potential next steps are for working together on lead generation.

What founders ask before they book.

Price, the process, your domain, who does the work. What we tell people on the call.

What does it cost?

It's custom. We price it to your market, your goals and what you need us to run, and it's always fully managed.

What happens after I book?

On the call, we dig into how you win clients today: what's working, what's holding you back, and how to fix it. We come with campaign ideas for your market: who your best buyers are, an offer cold buyers would say yes to, and the Earned Outreach campaigns we'd run on cold email and LinkedIn. You keep the ideas either way. If outbound can't help, we'll tell you.

Who runs my account?

Your account is led by Leddy's founder, Zhou Marsh, and run on the Leddy data pipeline. You're never handed to a junior rep. Meet Zhou.

Will this hurt my domain?

No. We never send from your main domain. We buy separate sending domains, set up 3 mailboxes on each, warm them for two weeks, send a few dozen emails per mailbox a day at most, and test where emails land on every live campaign.

How do you know a lead is any good?

Every lead passes four checks before we write: the company is the kind you sell to (we read its website), the person is a real decision-maker (never an assistant), the email is verified, and there's a dated public reason to reach out now. Code checks every fact against its source, and a GTM expert approves each campaign before it goes out.

How do your reply rates compare?

On our best campaigns, up to 1 in every 65 emails got a positive reply. The industry average is about 1 in 1,000, per Matt Lucero, founder of the cold email agency Anevo.

Who is this for?

B2B companies that want to grow by winning more clients. We work best with:

  • a large market: 100,000+ potential buyers we can reach;
  • clients worth over $5,000 in lifetime gross profit each;
  • someone in place to close: a founder who sells, or a sales team;
  • an offer a stranger would say yes to.

Usually not the best fit: a market under 40,000 potential buyers, clients worth under $3,000 in gross profit, no one to take the calls we book, or a team that is fully booked.

Outbound for B2B companies, from PR firms and GEO agencies to 3PLs and manufacturers.

What do I keep if we stop?

Everything we built for you: the sending domains, the mailboxes, your lead data and the emails we wrote. We transfer the domains and mailboxes to you.

Today's buyers pick you. Tomorrow's buyers think of you first.

On the call, we look at how you win clients today. If outbound can't help, we'll tell you.
