The Challenge
TechFlow Solutions, a mid-market SaaS company selling to enterprise IT teams, was struggling with their outbound motion. Their two-person SDR team was booking just 2 meetings per week despite spending 40+ hours on manual outreach.
The problems were clear:
- Hours wasted researching each prospect manually
- Generic messaging that didn't resonate
- No systematic way to identify high-intent accounts
- Inconsistent follow-up cadences
The Solution
TechFlow implemented a three-pronged approach:
Phase 1: Signal-Based Targeting (Week 1-2)
Instead of working generic lists, TechFlow set up signal monitoring for:
- Companies posting DevOps-related job openings
- Accounts showing intent on G2 and TrustRadius
- Companies using complementary technologies (identified via BuiltWith data)
This immediately improved their hit rate by focusing energy on accounts with actual need.
Phase 2: AI-Powered Personalization (Week 3-4)
For each signal-qualified account, TechFlow used AI to:
- Generate personalized first lines based on recent company news
- Customize value propositions based on the prospect's tech stack
- Adapt messaging tone based on the prospect's LinkedIn content
Sample before/after:
Before: "Hi [Name], I noticed you're in IT at [Company]. We help IT teams..."
After: "Hi Marcus, congrats on the Series C—saw the TechCrunch piece. As you scale the platform team from 5 to 20 (noticed the job posts), [specific challenge] usually becomes a bottleneck. Here's how we helped [similar company] solve that..."
Phase 3: Multi-Channel Sequences (Week 5-6)
TechFlow deployed coordinated sequences across:
- LinkedIn (connection + 2 follow-ups)
- Email (4-touch sequence)
- Phone (2 calls timed with email opens)
Each touchpoint was personalized and timed based on engagement signals.
The Results
After 60 days:
| Metric | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meetings/week | 2 | 21 | +950% |
| Response rate | 3% | 18% | +500% |
| Time per prospect | 45 min | 8 min | -82% |
| Pipeline generated | $120K/mo | $890K/mo | +641% |
