jack 03 why outbound stalled

Every line is lit.
None of them connect.

Automation raised send volume and lowered everything that matters. The tooling isn't the failure. Sending without judgment is.

2026 outbound benchmarks: Apollo, ZoomInfo, Salesforce State of Sales, and deployment studies across 75+ programmes. A human plus an AI stack books roughly 1.9x more meetings per dollar than AI running alone.

jack 04 how it works

Scoped, matched,
running in weeks.

  1. 01

    Scope

    Your ICP, your vertical, and what a qualified meeting means to you. 20 minutes.

  2. 02

    Meet the match

    You interview the SDR before you commit. No blind placement.

  3. 03

    Ramp

    Two to four weeks on your messaging and stack, against roughly 4.7 months for a new in-house hire.

  4. 04

    Run

    Weekly pipeline review. Reported on meetings held and opportunities created.

What counts as a qualified meeting

Right account, right title, a stated problem you solve, and they showed up. No-shows don't count and aren't billed.
