The 4 Categories of Outreach
INBOUND (1:Many Messaging Only)
Definition:
- Prospect knows your company
- Hand-raisers taking marketing action asking to evaluate your product
Trigger: Demo requests, chat box inquiries
Messaging approach: 1:Many only (they came to you)
POSTBOUND (1:Many + 1:1 Messaging)
Definition:
- Prospect knows your company
- Marketing leads that are NOT hand-raisers
Trigger: Content engagement without explicit buying intent
Messaging approach: Mix of templated + personalized
BRIDGEBOUND (1:Many + 1:1 Messaging)
Definition:
- Prospect sometimes knows your company
- Segmented outbound based on premises that raise meeting/buying likelihood
Trigger: Prospect or company action NOT related to your marketing
Messaging approach: Signal-based personalization
5 Sub-Categories:
- Based on Relationship (39 triggers)
- Based on History (16 triggers)
- Based on Likely "In Market" (20 triggers)
- Based on Symptoms & Signs (11 triggers)
- Based on Firmographic (15 triggers)
