385 contacts.
9.61% reply rate.
16.22% positive reply rate.

1 positive reply for every 64 people contacted.

This was Campaign 1.

Then we optimized.

Campaign 2:

29.41% positive reply rate.

1 positive reply for every 40 people contacted.

What changed?

We ran 5 filters before anyone got an email:
→ Sourcing (find buyers where they actually show up)
→ Enriching (layer in signals that matter)
→ Qualifying (filter for must-haves, no exceptions)
→ Segmenting (group by intent, not just job title)
→ Routing (each segment gets its own angle)

Smaller list. Better targeting. Higher conversion.

Precise targeting beats spray-and-pray contacts.

Every. Single. Time.

I engineer predictable revenue systems for B2B SaaS companies (programmatic GTM) | Founder/CEO @ Outbound Catalyst

I just open-sourced our GTM diagnostic framework.

The same one we use with clients paying €3,500 for a full audit.

It's called the GTM Scan.

Here's why I'm giving it away:

Most B2B SaaS companies approach outbound wrong.

They blast emails. Pray for replies. Wonder why nothing converts.

The problem isn't outbound.
It's their GTM foundations.

The GTM Scan evaluates 6 dimensions:

1️⃣ ICP & Targeting
→ Is your ideal customer clearly defined and validated?

2️⃣ Signals & Triggers
→ Are you reaching out at the right moment?

3️⃣ Data Infrastructure
→ Is your prospect data reliable and enriched?

4️⃣ Messaging & Positioning
→ Does your message resonate with buyers?

5️⃣ Outbound Execution
→ Is your sequence structure optimized?

6️⃣ Process & Measurement
→ Are you tracking what matters?

Score yourself across 23 questions.
Get your GTM Readiness Score.
Know exactly what to fix.

Takes 10 minutes.

If you're a B2B SaaS founder or revenue leader, comment whatever you want below OR just DM me & I'll send it to you. 

Stop hoping for growth. Start engineering it.

There's 3 main areas you need to be on top off as a GTM team in 2026:

1. Data

2. Strategy

3. Infrastructure

Let's break them down 1 by 1:

1. Data

Historically, data has been immensely overlooked and ignored. People bought Apollo or Zoominfo, perhaps a lusha on top, and thought it would do the job. 

Little did they know they can't trust that data and they didn't do their own research. 

Result? Spam city, bounces, etc.

The fix? THE 5 FIRST PRINCIPLES OF LIST BUILDING
1) Sourcing
→ use all relevant places to find potential clients & data (not only 1 database, use multiple)

2) Enriching
→ Enrich for all minimal required data so you are not excluding companies because you don't have the domain, or LinkedIn company page. (I like to use real-time APIs here & AI does an awesome job at searching the web here too).

3) Qualifying
→ Based on the enriched data, you can now go a layer deeper and enrich for specifics that indicate whether or not they are an ICP company. 

4) Segmenting
→ Stack signals, intent, triggers & different ICPs (some would call this "scoring")

5) Routing
→ Determine which lead you'll send to which campaign (I love to use Clay formula's for this)

2. Strategy

This is evolving continuously based on real time experiments and feedback. It covers who you are for (AND NOT FOR!), which problems you solve & why that matters to your buyers (if you can explain it better than they can, you are winnning). 

This comes down to campaign management:

- choosing your evergreen campaigns

- your always on campaigns

- your seasonal campaigns

- your signal-led campaigns



3. Infrastructure

The architecture behind it all. Covers all the systems to execute on the process. 

- Lead management & follow-up

- Automatic workflows in your CRM

- Extract relevant info from sales calls, replies, etc. and feeding it into your knowledge hub

- Automatic task creations

Over the next 5 weeks, I will break down in-depth systems to cover all these areas.

Engineering growth for ambitious SaaS revenue teams | Founder/CEO @ Outbound Catalyst

Most outbound teams are stuck in an endless loop 🔁

Building lists. Testing campaigns. Nothing sticks. Deliverability tanks. Repeat.

Here's what 1500+ campaigns taught me about sustainable outbound:
Stop thinking about "campaigns" and start thinking in buckets.

1️⃣ Evergreen Campaigns (Every 3-6 months)
↳Your predictable plays. 
・First-degree connections. 
・Event targeting. 
・Closed-lost revamps. 
・Pain-based messaging. 

⟹These work because they tap into recurring patterns.

2️⃣ Always-On Campaigns (Set and forget)
↳Automate the obvious. 

・Profile viewers. 
・Post engagers. 
・Competitor followers. 
・Website visitors. 
・Pricing page views. 

⟹Low maintenance, steady results.

3️⃣ Signal-Led Campaigns (Your experiments)
↳The LinkedIn darlings everyone talks about. 

・Custom research. 
・Deep personalization. 
・Breakthrough potential. 

⟹ But here's the truth: they rarely keep working.

The mistake? Most teams live in signal-led chaos.

They over-engineer everything. 

They chase the next shiny tactic. 

They burn out building campaigns that die in 30 days.

The real ROI? It comes from boring, scalable, systematic approaches.

We've proven this across dozens of B2B companies. 

The simplest campaigns consistently outperform the complex ones.

But nobody wants to hear that building a foundation is sexier than chasing signals.

What's your current split? 

Are you running all three buckets or stuck in experimental hell?

I made a 10-minute in-depth video on this (linkedin comments).

Engineering growth for ambitious SaaS revenue teams through programmatic GTM | Founder/CEO @ Outbound Catalyst

We burned $1K in Clay credits in one day.

One day. One table. One expensive lesson.

Here's what happened:

We were testing a new enrichment workflow. Got excited. Didn't set limits. Let it run.

By the time we noticed, we'd blown through our monthly budget in hours.

The ugly truth about outbound?

Even the experts are sometimes guessing.

Our tech wizard - who I trust completely - sometimes says "I'm not 100% sure why this works."

Deliverability is a maze that even the best don't fully understand.

We tested 4 different AI models on the same dataset last month. The results were eye-opening. Changed our entire approach.

Building in public means sharing this stuff.

Not just the wins. The expensive mistakes too.

What's an expensive lesson you've learned recently?

Why do most outbound agencies price based on contact volume?

(The answer reveals a fundamental misalignment with B2B success)

I've been reviewing agency proposals with founders all month, and I keep seeing the same pattern:

"We'll reach 5,000 contacts per month."

"We'll contact 10,000 people."

"Our premium package includes 20,000 outreach touches."

Here's what they think they're buying:

More contacts = more opportunities
Volume drives pipeline
Scale equals results

But here's the reality for most B2B SaaS companies:

Your TAM is 500-2,000 target accounts, not 20,000 contacts
Success means account penetration, not contact volume
Quality of targeting matters more than quantity of touches

When we audit clients' actual ICPs, we rarely find more than 1,000 ideal accounts to pursue.

Think about it: If you only have 1,000 target accounts, why would you pay for an agency to contact 10,000 people per month?

This creates two distinct approaches:

Volume Play (makes sense when):
▪️ You serve a horizontal market (like local printing services)
▪️ Your solution works for almost any company
▪️ Your TAM is genuinely massive
▪️ Broad outreach yields consistent conversion rates

Targeted Play (makes sense when):
▪️ You're building for a specific vertical or niche
▪️ Your ICP is tightly defined
▪️ You have limited high-value accounts
▪️ Personalization and account strategy matter

The misalignment happens when agencies sell volume pricing to companies that need targeted strategies.

Before you sign with any outbound agency in 2026, answer this question:
Do you have 10,000+ potential customers, or 1,000 target accounts?

Your answer should determine which agency you choose and how they should price their work.

Are you buying contact volume or account penetration?

2 weeks ago, I attended Tectonic in Wintercircus Ghent. 

Always great to be there whenever I'm in Belgium. Such a vibrant tech scene. 

Even though I usually don't like to smell the breath of VC money, I was super pleased to hear some awesome wisdom. 

Pieterjan Bouten said this:

"We like to give money to talented founders who know what to do, so we do what we do best (inject capital) and then get out of the way, so they can do what they do best (build the company)". 

It's paraphrased, but he basically said that what he learned during his time at Showpad is kind of obsolete in a way. 

The game evolves and changes, and therefore the advise you get from someone who did it years ago, might not be relevant at all. 

I thought this was worth sharing, because I see many founders and revenue leaders making these mistakes:

- following people who aren't in the trenches

- paying multiple 5 figures for advise that leads nowhere

- allowing others to create urgency and pressure in the organization instead of protecting the team & trusting the process 

- hiring expensive sales reps who sold for Microsoft or Salesforce but never took a company from 0 to 1 or 1 to 10 before 

And now with AI, the game is evolving SUPER fast. 

Imagine that we sometimes feel behind, let alone if you're not doing this every day... 

TL;DR: be careful with who you take advice from, and don't let FOMO eat you up inside.

Focus on getting your basics right first. 

Let me know if you want to talk about real-time and effective revenue systems that generate and convert pipeline in 2025.

Here's how I build lead lists programmatically. 

(after spending 7+ years, I am close to perfecting the perfect system). 

1. Start with accounts. Go to Clay (https://lnkd.in/ep8Dhw-m) and create a workbook. Call it “ACCOUNTS” 

2. Pull in companies using their find companies. They have AI filters that you can use to get more afcurate results.

3. Enrich for qualification criteria & double check info like industry, company activity etc where necessary. First use formula’s, only then use AI (one task per column). 

4. Once you have all criteria, you can filter for ICP accounts. 

5. Write those to another workbook, call it ICP accounts. (Congrats you now mapped your ICP accounts and have something 90% of companies don’t have). 

6. Repeat this process for leads, start by finding leads in sales nav with the same filters you used for your account search. It's better to scrape broadly (use Icypeas to export without getting your linkedin banned). 

8. Use formula’s to filter out irrelevant titles.

9. Enrich for account info (company ID or domain) 

10. Lookup in ICP accounts table. Also lookup from ICP accounts table to leads to see how many leads you are still missing (across accounts). 

11. Now look for extra leads using Icypeas database, apollo & enrich the leads with real time linkedin APIs to check accuracy 

12. Enrich for qualification criteria per persona

13. Segment per persona

14. Push them to a new table, name it ICP Leads. (Again congrats, something 99% of companies don’t have)

15. You can now build signals, triggers, intent on top of them

16. You can now segment for different campaigns

17. You now know what you’re working with in terms of market cap and can draft a campaign strategy that is actually sustainable. 

This is how you avoid building lists for campaigns, how you free up your sales team to focus on selling instead of admin & how you become independent of obsolete databases.

"Most sales leaders don't interview their customers—and that's why their outbound engine fails."

This brilliant insight from Mafalda Johannsen should make you rethink how you build your outbound foundations.

Marketing teams interview customers for case studies. 

Product teams interview them for feature requests. 

But sales leaders? Crickets.

Mafalda explained that before obsessing over cold email copy or video prospecting, you need to answer three critical questions through customer interviews:

1️⃣ When did they buy? What was the trigger event that created urgency?

2️⃣ Why you vs. competition? What made your solution the clear choice?

3️⃣ What situation were they in? Context reveals targeting opportunities

"If you don't know what's important to your customers, how do you know what to say on a cold call?" she shared.

This is how you build strong hypotheses instead of guessing.

The companies seeing breakthrough results from this approach:
👉 Find lookalike accounts in similar situations with similar triggers

👉 Hook prospects with the same reasons that made existing customers buy

👉 Speak their language because you know exactly what resonates

Stop building outbound campaigns on assumptions. Start building them on customer intelligence.

Are you interviewing your customers before launching outbound campaigns?
(We both know you're not)

Full episode in comments 🎙️

Every early-stage founder makes the same mistake.

They assume why they built it is why the market needs it.

I learned this the hard way in 2019.

I was selling sales conversation AI before AI was cool.
My assumption: "Reps spend too much time on admin."
Reality: They weren't doing admin at all.

The real problem? They forgot 90% of what happened in their calls.

It took me 3-6 months and my first 10 customers to figure this out.

Here's what that taught me about GTM:

1. Your hypothesis is probably wrong
2. The market will tell you, but you have to listen
3. Outbound is the fastest way to validate (you control who you talk to)
4. Don't scale before you've validated

That lesson became the foundation of everything we do at Outbound Catalyst.

Design → Validate → Scale

What's a GTM assumption you had to unlearn?

If OpenAI hired me tomorrow to generate enterprise pipeline, I wouldn't send a single cold email without using relevant data. 

Most "outbound playbooks" fail because they rely on volume over signals.

Case in point: That templated campaign you saw? 2 email replies. Probably "not interested."

Here's what actually converts:

The old way:
✖️ Spray generic emails to CTOs
✖️ Hope your "AI chaos" message resonates
✖️ Cross fingers someone replies

The signal-led way:
🎯 Find orgs where employees are ALREADY using ChatGPT on personal plans
🎯 Enrich and group users across the org
🎯 Target the CXO responsible for AI governance
🎯 Reference their actual usage in your outreach

This turns "lazy volume outbound" into targeted programmatic GTM.

The template that converts:

"Hi {{firstName}},
Noticed {{person1}}, {{person2}}, and {{person3}} at {{company}} are on personal ChatGPT plans—using it regularly for work.
Curious if you already have a framework to manage AI responsibly across the org?
Our team plan centralizes governance and gives you full visibility. Happy to enable a trial so you can test it.
P.S. Here's how {{competitor}} rolled out AI org-wide while staying compliant."

Why this works:
✅ You're not guessing, but you have proof of usage
✅ You're solving a real problem they don't know they have
✅ You're offering value (trial + competitor insight) before asking

The campaigns that win in 2025 don't start with templates.

They start with signals.

What data would YOU use to build this campaign?

p.s. post inspired by Erwan Gauthier's post & my comment on his post.
(go follow him if you aren't already, he shares amazing stuff).

Your AI agents when Cloudflare decided to take a break today.

Outbound isn't dead.

Bad outbound is dead.

Here's the difference:

❌ Bad outbound:
- Spray and pray
- Same message to everyone
- "Hope you're doing well"
- Pitch on first touch
- Activity metrics over results

✅ Good outbound:
- Research before reaching out
- Segmented by intent, not just title
- Lead with insight, not pitch
- Multi-touch, multi-channel
- Obsessed with positive reply rate

The companies saying "outbound doesn't work" are doing bad outbound.

The companies crushing it? They treat outbound like science.

Test hypotheses.
Validate with real buyers.
Scale what works.

Outbound isn't just a channel.

It's your controlled laboratory for testing before you scale everywhere else.

Which type of outbound are you doing?

They think more tools = better results.

The truth? Clay handles 70% of our production work.
Everything else is support.

The best tech stack isn't the biggest one.
It's the one where every tool has a clear job.

What's the one tool you couldn't run your business without?

"If I'm sending let's say 10 emails today, I'll be lucky to get one reply back."

This pivotal insight from Frank Sondors 🥓 (Salesforge 🔥 and a bunch of other forges) on today's Revenue Systems Decoded podcast stopped me in my tracks.

The fundamental issue isn't bad leads; it’s channel fatigue. Our audience knows everything is automated, even when it’s disguised. They are savvy, which means we must pivot where we engage them.

Frank explained that the path to higher engagement is about radical channel iteration:

• Identify the channels that are completely saturated (like many outbound emails).

• Find where your target customer actually does business (e.g., WhatsApp in many European markets).

• Switching channels can drive up to 10x more replies by meeting the customer where they are.

"People are not stupid; they’re very savvy," he shared.

The companies seeing the best results prioritize collaboration over pure automation:

Mobile Enrichment: Integrating mobile number enrichment into the sign-up flow.

Hub-and-Spoke: Pushing all non-email replies (e.g., WhatsApp) immediately back into a collaborative hub (like Slack).

Decentralized Response: Enabling any human team member to reply from the hub, making the interaction fast, authentic, and scalable.

Is your team still reliant on email, or have you found your 10x channel?
