Outbound has become a tools problem. You probably use one platform to find prospects, another to dig up email addresses, a third to write the message, a fourth to send it, and a fifth to track what happened. By the time a campaign is in market, half the energy has been lost to copy paste and tab switching.
Linkence Lead Outreach is built around a different idea. Describe the kind of person you want to reach, get ten verified leads back, write a subject line and email body, let our model personalise each version for the recipient, review what is about to ship, and send. One flow, one screen, one source of truth for what was sent and to whom.
Why outbound feels broken today
The fragmentation tax is real. Most teams pay it every week:
- Lead lists live in one tool, contact data lives in another, and neither is fully verified.
- Personalisation is rushed because every minute spent researching a prospect is a minute not spent talking to one.
- Subject lines, follow ups, and CTAs drift across teammates because the playbook lives in a doc no one opens.
- Reporting is bolted on at the end, so leadership sees totals instead of which segments actually responded.
The result is the same in every team we talk to: lower engagement, slower iteration, and a quiet anxiety about whether the volume going out is actually moving pipeline.
One flow from prompt to send
Lead Outreach lives inside the Triggers page. It is a three step linear workflow with a stepper at the top so you always know where you are. The whole loop is designed to be repeatable.
Step 1. Find leads
Describe the prospect you want to reach in plain language. Get ten verified leads back, with email and company context, ready to engage.
Step 2. Write email
Compose a subject line and an email body. Our model rewrites each copy per recipient using their company, role, and industry context.
Step 3. Review and send
Inspect every personalised draft, edit anything you do not like, then send the whole batch from your connected mailbox.
Activity tracker
An always on panel above the workflow shows what was sent today, this week, and this month, plus the diversity of who you reached.
Step 1. Find verified leads from a prompt
Tell the system who you want to reach. The prompt accepts whatever signal you have:
- Industry, segment, or vertical.
- Job title, function, or seniority.
- Company headquarters or region.
- Headcount range or company size.
- Specific characteristics that matter to your offer.
From there, ten leads are returned in a structured batch. Each row carries a verified email, the person's name and title, the company name and industry, and short context lines we use to personalise the email a step later. You stay in control: leads can be removed before sending, and you can regenerate a batch at any time.
Working in batches of ten is intentional. It gives you a tight unit of measurement, a fast feedback loop, and a natural pace that keeps outbound thoughtful instead of mechanical.
Step 2. Write your subject and email
Once leads are in, the email composer opens. You write two things:
- A subject line. Keep it specific. Strong subject lines hint at the relevance, not the entire pitch.
- A base email body. This is the version of your message you would send if every recipient were the same. Lead with the value, end with a clear ask, keep it short.
You stay in charge of the message. Linkence does not invent the offer or the call to action. It only tunes the wording around them for each recipient.
AI personalisation tuned per recipient
Behind the send button, every email is rewritten once per lead with a small model whose only job is grounded personalisation. It is the layer that takes a flat base message and turns it into ten emails that read like ten thoughtful notes.
The personalisation rules are intentionally tight:
- Your base subject and base body are the source of truth. The model will not invent a new offer, a new CTA, a new link, a new date, or a new commitment.
- The opener references something real about the recipient or their company: a phrase from the company description, an industry, a role, a one line bio. If a field is missing for a particular lead, the system silently omits that touch instead of guessing.
- Tone, register, and language are matched to your base message. A casual base stays casual. A formal one stays formal.
- Hard prohibitions are baked in: no fake customer names, no fake news headlines, no placeholder syntax like square brackets, no AI self references, no signatures or postscripts that you did not ask for.
The output is a small set of emails that share the same offer and ask, but feel handwritten for the person reading them.
Step 3. Review before anything goes out
Nothing leaves your account silently. Once personalisation is ready, every draft lands in a review screen with the recipient on one side and the personalised subject and body on the other.
- Edit any draft inline.
- Skip a recipient you do not want to email yet.
- Confirm the sender mailbox we will use for the batch.
When you are ready, the batch sends from your connected Gmail account. As of today Gmail is the supported sending channel for Outreach; Outlook outbound is on the roadmap and the rest of the product already runs on Gmail and Outlook for inbound.
Live activity, reach, and send status
Sending is not the end of the loop. The Activity panel above the Outreach workflow refreshes every minute and tells you what is actually happening:
- Sent today, last 7 days, last 30 days. Daily throughput at a glance, with a streak counter for days you sent at least one email.
- Reach diversity. Unique companies, industries, seniorities, and regions reached in the last 30 days. This is the line that tells you whether your outbound is actually exploring or just hitting the same five firms.
- Recent sends. A privacy conscious table of who received what, with recipient, company, subject, and time. Message bodies are intentionally hidden because audit visibility should not turn into a content leak.
Each lead inside a batch also carries its own status: not sent, sending, sent, failed, or skipped. You can filter, retry, or clear the sent state to free up the slot for a fresh attempt without losing context for the rest of the batch.
Plan caps and a free data tier note
Monthly plan cap
Outbound volume sits inside a transparent monthly cap with a progress meter. You always know how much room you have left for the month.
Free tier prospect data
Lead discovery is currently on a free data tier, so very niche prompts can return fewer rows. Narrow by title, region, industry, or size and you will usually find the people you want.
Bring your own list
If you already know the prospects, paste their emails directly in the prompt. They are used as is and skip discovery entirely.
Manual contact upload
A CSV and XLSX upload flow is on the way for teams that already manage their own lists. Until then, the prompt and paste workflow covers most cases.
What changes for your team
- One screen for outbound instead of five tools.
- Verified emails delivered with the lead, so contact research stops being a separate workstream.
- Personalisation that scales without a copywriter, because every recipient gets a draft tuned to their company and role.
- A built in pause: review before send is the default, not a brave extra step.
- Reach diversity surfaced in the Activity panel, so the team can see when outbound is over indexing on a single industry.
- A repeatable batch of ten, which is the right unit for measuring, iterating, and scaling thoughtfully.
How to get started
- Connect Gmail from your account settings if you have not already. Outreach sends from your connected Gmail mailbox today.
- Open Triggers and switch to the Outreach tab. Admins drive the workflow; teammates can review the activity panel.
- In Step 1, describe your ideal prospect in one or two sentences. Generate the first batch.
- In Step 2, write a clear subject and a base email body. Linkence handles the personalisation per lead in the background.
- In Step 3, review every draft, fix anything you do not like, and send the batch.
- Watch the Activity panel for the next few hours. Tighten the subject line, the prompt, or the base body in the next batch based on what actually happened.
Outbound stops feeling like a multi tool obstacle course when the moving parts live in one place. With Linkence, the time between "I want to reach this kind of buyer" and "ten thoughtful emails just went out" collapses into a single workflow you can run again next week.
