The work we manage. The decisions you keep.

One managed subscription covers account selection, research, message development, campaign delivery, and reporting. Before launch, we agree the scope, review process, and work required from your team.

Channels
LinkedIn, email, phone, and other agreed channels. We define the channel mix, execution method, and responsibilities around your buyers and regions.
Sequence
A bespoke series of touchpoints for each prospect. Messaging, channels, frequency, timing, and follow-ups are tailored to your audience and objectives.
Targeting
Accounts assessed against your customer profile, with evidence of fit and a reason to approach. Contacts are selected for their responsibility for the relevant decision.
Volume
Monthly prospect sequences are scoped around the research and review required. A sequence covers one person’s complete outreach plan. Starting volumes and capacity are explained in the FAQ.
Research
Company and decision-maker research showing the original source, relevant date, and distinction between a confirmed fact and a possible business need.
Review
Two independent internal human reviews, followed by your approval. Review messages, sequences, or batches. We agree the format and your team’s availability before launch.
Replies and meetings
Your team handles replies, qualifies opportunities, and books meetings. The research and outreach history remain visible to support those conversations.
First send
First outreach sent within a month of kickoff.
Reporting
Weekly reporting separates outreach activity from responses. Your team assesses meetings and opportunities against its own sales criteria.
Regions
North America and Europe.
Term
Scope, subscription price, and minimum commitment agreed before the engagement begins.
01 Why relevance matters

Give a senior buyer
a business reason to respond.

A company announcement is useful context. The harder question is why it matters to the person you want to reach and how your offer could help. We examine that connection before drafting the approach.

A weak approach

A relevant fact needs a relevant argument.

Mentioning an appointment or a hiring announcement shows that you noticed it. The message still needs to explain what the development might mean for the buyer and why your offer belongs in the conversation.

  • An event with no clear connection to the offer
  • A contact selected without checking responsibility
  • An assumed problem presented as a known fact
The work behind the message

Connect the evidence to a useful question.

We assess the account, examine a possible business implication, and select the person responsible for that decision. The message connects your substantiated capabilities to a question the buyer can confirm or correct.

  • Evidence behind account selection
  • A commercial argument relevant to the recipient
  • Facts and assumptions clearly distinguished
02 What we research

What happened. Why it might matter.

A company recruiting implementation specialists may be expanding successfully; hiring does not prove a delivery problem. We verify the development, examine its relevance to your offer, and frame a question about the work ahead. The buyer confirms whether a need exists. Our Quality standards show an annotated example of this reasoning.

03 How it works

Research you can inspect.
Outreach we manage.

You can review the account assessment, source evidence, proposed message, and sequence before launch. We handle research and campaign operations; you keep the commercial decisions and the conversations that follow.

Message writing

A business case for this conversation.

Each approach connects the company’s situation, the recipient’s responsibilities, and your offer. A verified event supports the context; the proposed need remains a question until the buyer confirms it.

Review

Independent review, then your approval.

Two internal reviewers check the research and sequence independently. Your team then approves messages, sequences, or batches and requests revisions where needed. We agree who reviews the work and when, before outreach begins.

FOLLOW-UP
Campaign management

Campaign delivery under control.

We manage outreach and scheduled follow-ups across the agreed channels. Timing, frequency, and the sequence of contacts are designed for your buyers and managed throughout the campaign.

Targeting

Concentrate on accounts worth winning.

We assess accounts against criteria drawn from your strongest customers. Evidence supports the fit and contact choice. When the research does not support a credible approach, a company’s apparent fit alone is not enough.

Channels tailored to your buyers

One considered approach across channels.

LinkedIn, email, phone, and other agreed channels work within a coordinated sequence. Each touchpoint advances the approach, with a consistent message and a channel mix suited to the audience.

04 Working with your team

We run the campaign.
Your team advances the conversation.

We manage research, messages, outreach, and scheduled follow-ups. Your team reviews the proposed approach and owns prospect replies, qualification, and meeting booking. The research and contact history remain available when your seller takes over.

What we agree with you

Agree the work on both sides before launch.

We settle five practical questions before work begins:

  • Your target market. The companies, decision-makers, and regions you want to reach.
  • Your message. The offer, tone, and evidence supporting claims about your services.
  • Your approval process. What you review, who signs off, and when feedback is needed.
  • Your campaign. The channel mix, monthly sequence volume, and follow-up schedule.
  • Your engagement. The subscription price, minimum term, reporting, and reply ownership.
05 What your team gains

Reserve your sales team's time
for the conversations that count.

Your sellers bring customer knowledge and own the sales conversation. We supply the account research, message development, and campaign operations, with a review process agreed around their availability.

Sales

More capacity for serious opportunities.

We manage the research and initial outreach so your sellers can spend more of their time responding to buyers and developing opportunities. Review and response responsibilities are agreed before launch.

Marketing

Protect the calibre of your brand.

Every approach reflects your positioning, substantiates its claims, and respects your voice. Your team reviews the messaging before it represents the business.

Leadership

Evidence for commercial decisions.

See messages sent and responses received without treating activity as pipeline. Use the campaign record alongside your team’s meetings and opportunity assessments.

A bespoke managed engagement. Scope, investment, and responsibilities agreed upfront.

Fit depends on your offer, the value of an opportunity, and your team’s ability to approve and respond. Company size alone does not determine whether the service makes sense.
06 Client results

Aligned's first month:
3 meetings held. The campaign behind them.

For Aligned, a specialist in software platform remediation, credibility depends on a precise understanding of the prospect's business. We ran researched LinkedIn and email outreach across North America and Europe. These are the first-month results:

929Researched messages sent. Across LinkedIn and email. This counts messages, not unique prospects.
34LinkedIn connections accepted. By founders, CEOs, CTOs, and CFOs.
50Decision-makers engaged. Accepted or clicked through, including 32 founders or CEOs. Engagement is not the same as a qualified opportunity.
3Meetings held with decision-makers. In that same first month.

Aligned is our founding partner. These first-month results come from a programme we operate directly. They demonstrate one engagement; they do not establish a forecast or an independently validated conversion benchmark.

Reference call

You can request a conversation with Chris about the research, review workload, and first-month campaign. Chris founded The Signal Engine and runs Aligned; the relationship is disclosed in the case study.
