Draft Outreach

Create personalized cold outreach messages through research-first methodology. Research the prospect before drafting to ensure messages are personalized, not generic.

How It Works

1. Research: Web search (+ optional enrichment/CRM data) to understand the prospect
2. Draft: Personalized message based on research findings
3. Deliver: Via email, LinkedIn, or text output

Personalization Hierarchy

Priority order for personalization hooks:

1. Trigger events: Funding, hiring, product launches, leadership changes
2. Mutual connections: Shared contacts, communities, or experiences
3. Their content: Articles, posts, or talks they've published
4. Company initiatives: Strategic projects or public priorities
5. Role-based pain points: Common challenges for their title/function
