HeraldAI agent · Sales outreach

Researched outreach, from first search to first reply.

Herald helps a sales team reach the right people. It finds and researches prospects, prepares email sequences for the team to approve, sends them within daily limits for each mailbox, and sorts the replies so your team spends its time on the conversations.

From  A member of your teamSubject  A thought on onboarding your new team

Hello Ms. Reyes,

I came across the news that your company is opening two new regional offices this year, and the hiring that comes with it.

We help growing teams bring new colleagues up to speed, and I thought a short introduction might be useful. Would a brief call next week be of interest?

Every email carries your postal address and a clear way to unsubscribe.

An example email. The opening line is personal; the rest is the text your team approved.

From a brief to a conversation

Six stages, with your team’s approval in the middle. Nothing is sent until a person has read it and agreed.

Discover

A plain-language brief becomes a search for the right organisations and people.

Qualify

Duplicates and anyone who has opted out are set aside before anything else happens.

Research

Herald reads about each organisation and notes what is relevant to them.

Approve

Your team reads sample emails written for real prospects, edits them, and approves.

Send

Emails go out from a team member’s own mailbox, within the limits you set.

Reply

Every response is read and sorted, and a person takes the conversation forward.

Every reply read and sorted

Herald reads every reply, works out what it means and sets the next step. A reply that needs an answer waits for a person.

Rules that always apply

The limits below are part of the software. Herald writes the messages; the system decides whether, when and how many are sent.

Approval comes first

A sequence is sent only after your team approves it. Editing it asks for approval again.

Opt-outs are permanent

Unsubscribes, bounces and complaints go on one list that every campaign respects.

Limits on volume and timing

Daily limits for each mailbox, working hours only, and no sending on weekends or holidays.

Checked before it is said

Personal details are verified first, and every draft is checked against your own guidelines.

Herald sends from your team’s own mailboxes and follows your guidelines for what is said and when.

Describe the customer you want more of.

We will show you sample research and a draft sequence for real prospects before anything is sent.

What happens on the call
  1. You walk us through the process and the system behind it.
  2. We tell you plainly whether an agent is the right fix.
  3. If it is, we outline what we would build and what it would take from your team.
