Community · B2B outreach sprints

B2B outreach sprints

Going to your first B2B clients is hard, and a little scary. So we do it together: one week, one segment, one offer, a small group of founders sending real invitations and messages on LinkedIn, and comparing notes every day.

10–20 participants per outreach sprint Monday to Friday

Who it’s for

01

Founders and small teams with a B2B product or service and no repeatable way to reach buyers yet.

02

You have a LinkedIn profile you’re willing to put in front of your target audience.

03

You want to test whether a specific segment responds to a specific offer, with real numbers instead of guesses.

How it works

01

Profile review

We look at your LinkedIn profile and give quick recommendations on what to fine-tune so more invitations get accepted and more messages get answered.

02

Product check

We look at your product and its online presence to see whether it fits B2B outreach and whether the test makes sense.

03

Your ICP

You fill in a short ICP template (a Markdown file we send you). We review it and ask you to fill the gaps.

04

Audience sizing

Using LinkedIn Sales Navigator and other sources, we estimate how many people match your segment. We aim for at least 100–200 relevant contacts per outreach sprint.

05

Screening, then payment

If the screening passes, you pay for the outreach sprint upfront and we prepare your message sequences together. If it doesn’t, you pay nothing.

06

The outreach sprint week

Monday to Friday, about 10–25 invitations go out per day, adjusted to your account and kept within LinkedIn’s limits; at the first LinkedIn warning we slow down or pause. Every accepted invitation gets a follow-up message the same or next day. How sending works for you is agreed with you one-to-one at onboarding.

07

Daily numbers and chat

Invitations, acceptances, messages and replies for every participant go into a shared community dashboard, updated daily. We talk them through in the group chat (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack or Discord, whichever suits the group).

08

Reflection

After the week we take a few days to a week to look at what we learned and decide what’s next for each participant and product. If you like, leave feedback on our Clutch page.

Where outreach sprints come from

Outreach sprints grew out of our client work. We’ve run outreach and audience research for a select group of B2B clients, from developer tools and AI products to professional services and local businesses, with buyers in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. Clients stay anonymous; this is the kind of work and the buyers we’ve reached:

  • Developer hiring and HR tech: talent leads, technical recruiters, HR and people leaders.
  • AI and developer infrastructure: CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Heads of AI, startup and agency founders.
  • Security software: CISOs and security leaders at software companies.
  • Consulting and advisory: CEOs, CFOs and COOs in finance; commercial and business-development leaders in pharma, biotech and medtech.
  • Legal tech: lawyers, law-firm partners and in-house counsel.
  • Energy and commodities partnerships: trading houses and commodity traders.
  • Marketplaces, local services and education: small-business owners, agencies, property managers, school leaders.

What we’ve learned so far

  • The role decides acceptance. Talent, HR and screening owners accept invitations far more often than founders and CTOs. Who you pick matters as much as what you say.
  • One question beats an offer. A one-line question to the right person, in their own words, gets answers. A pitch mostly doesn’t.
  • Invitation first, question after. A connection request without a note, then the question once they accept. No cold InMail.
  • Smaller companies answer more than large ones, so company size is a filter, not a detail.

That’s why every outreach sprint starts with audience sizing and your ICP, why the first message is a question rather than a pitch, and why the pace stays human: about 10–25 invitations a day, slowing down or pausing at the first LinkedIn warning. You approve your segment and every message text before anything goes out.

FAQ

Can I get a refund?+
No refunds once the outreach sprint week starts. This is a test of your offer on a specific audience segment, and nobody can know the outcome in advance. What you pay for is the work: the profile and ICP review, audience sizing, message sequences, and invitations and messages sent to the segment we agree on. Replies can be positive, negative, neutral or none. You only pay after screening.
What if my offer gets no replies?+
That is a result too. You learn that this offer doesn’t land with this segment, and the group sees what did work for others. We use that to adjust the next test.
Do I need Sales Navigator?+
No. We use it to size your audience before the outreach sprint.
What do I get at the end?+
Your numbers for the week (invitations, acceptances, messages, replies), the replies themselves if you have them, the conversations started, your reviewed ICP and message sequences, and a short debrief on what to try next.
Is my data shared with other participants?+
Only your daily counts in the community dashboard and whatever you choose to share in the chat. Your ICP, product details and conversations stay between you and us.

Participation terms

  • Each outreach sprint runs Monday to Friday on the dates on its page. Preparation happens the week before.
  • You pay the price shown on the outreach sprint’s page, upfront, after screening. Payment is non-refundable once the outreach sprint week starts.
  • We don’t promise meetings, replies or sales. The outreach sprint tests an offer; the outcome depends on the offer, the segment and the market.
  • Your LinkedIn account stays yours. You remain responsible for it and for using it in line with LinkedIn’s terms. Everything about how sending works for you is agreed with you in writing before the week starts.
  • We use the information you give us (profile, product, ICP) only to run your outreach sprint. Counts in the community dashboard are visible to the group. We publish participant names, results or quotes on this site only with your permission.
