Where outreach fails

What typically breaks in outbound for Tech (IT & Software)

This is where teams waste outreach: data is stale, validation is skipped, and follow-ups don’t match real buying cycles.

  • Technical buyers are contacted with generic copy that ignores stack context.
  • Lead lists mix end users with decision-makers, creating wasted cycles.
  • Sequence timing isn’t aligned to sprint or procurement windows.
  • Reps lose track of who asked for follow-up in a previous quarter.
Weekly execution

Use this day to day: validate leads, keep data clean, and only run cadences that protect your team from wasted outreach.

  1. Capture leads with fields for stack, role, and procurement window.
  2. Assign a cadence built for technical evaluation, not hype.
  3. Track proof-of-fit notes in Kanban stages by buying committee.
  4. Review weekly hygiene reports to remove stale or churned accounts.
