Hybrid AI+Human Outbound
Managed outbound where 1 human runs 2.4 AI agents — and beats pure-AI by 1.9× meetings per dollar.
Pure-AI SDRs collapsed in Q1 2026. Buyers learned the patterns; reply rates halved. We rebuild your outbound as a hybrid pod: AI handles enrichment, drafting, and sequencing; a senior human handles judgment calls, replies, and meetings. Bangladesh wage arbitrage means the human is full-time on your account at agency-AI prices.
What you get
- ✓1H + 2.4AI pod ratio (benchmark 1.9× meetings/$ vs pure-AI)
- ✓8–15 qualified meetings per month at $300–600 CAC
- ✓Full attribution to closed-won, not just opened
Who it's for
- —B2B SaaS companies $1–10M ARR with an ICP they can describe but not reach
- —Agencies who want to white-label outbound under their own brand
- —Founders who tried Apollo + ChatGPT and got banned or burned out

Why us
Why this works at our cost base.

Common questions
Things prospects ask first.
Tools are commodity. The human reply triage and the ICP iteration loop are the work. We use Smartlead/Instantly under the hood.
Month 1 is setup + first cohort. Month 2 is calibration. Month 3 onward is the steady state — 8–15 meetings/mo.
Yes, included in the retainer. We own the infrastructure so you can switch us out without losing it.
Month-to-month after the 3-month minimum. We need the first 3 to get past warmup and have data to optimize against.
We'll use it as a starting point but verify it against our enrichment stack. Old lists have 30–50% deliverability decay.
