94%

What is account based outbound?
Account based outbound is the execution layer of account based marketing. Instead of waiting for target accounts to raise their hand, a team reaches the people inside those accounts directly, across email, LinkedIn and phone, with messaging written for each role.
Most ABM programs already do the strategy well: the target account list, the ideal customer profile, the intent signals and the advertising. The part that stalls is converting that attention into conversations with real people. Account based outbound closes that gap.
How Outreach Engine supports your ABM strategy
You already know the accounts you want to reach. We execute the outbound layer of that strategy so your account list turns into sales conversations, not just impressions and site visits.
- 01Start from your target account list and ICP, or build one with you

- 04Write persona specific messaging for each role in the committee
- 05Coordinate email, LinkedIn and calling across every contact in the account
- 06Manage replies, follow up on engagement and qualify interest
- 07Feed qualified conversations to Sales with account context attached
Buying committee engagement
A B2B purchase is rarely one person's decision. Forrester's State of Business Buying 2026 found that the typical buying decision now includes 13 internal stakeholders and nine external influencers, and procurement is a decision maker in 53% of buying cycles.
Reaching one contact per account is how most outbound programs work, and it is why so many target accounts never become pipeline. We map the committee (the economic buyer, the champion, the technical evaluator, the user and the blocker) and engage each of them with a message about their own priorities.
Multi channel ABM
Different people answer different channels. A CFO may never reply to a LinkedIn message but will take a well timed call; a director of operations may ignore calls and reply to a short, specific email. Coordinating all three channels across every contact in an account is what turns scattered touches into account penetration.
ABM campaign execution
Campaigns run in tiers. Your highest value accounts get the most research and the most personalized sequences; the next tier gets role level personalization at a larger scale. Every tier is sequenced so each contact sees a consistent story from your company, not five disconnected messages.
Marketing sourced pipeline
Every conversation we create is attributed to the account, the campaign and the contact, so Marketing can report sourced and influenced pipeline from the ABM program with numbers Sales agrees with.
ABM without additional headcount
Running outbound inside an ABM program normally means hiring SDRs, a data specialist, a deliverability owner and someone to manage them. We bring that team, the infrastructure and the tooling as one service, so the program scales with your account list rather than your hiring plan.
ABM campaign reporting
Reporting is by account, not only by contact: which target accounts are engaged, how many members of each buying committee have been reached, which accounts have produced conversations and what pipeline they represent.
Sales and marketing alignment
The account list is agreed with both teams before launch, the qualification criteria are agreed with Sales, and every handoff carries the account history. Marketing gets pipeline it can measure; Sales gets conversations from the accounts it actually wants to close.

Frequently asked questions
Is Outreach Engine an ABM platform?
No. Outreach Engine is ABM execution as a service. We work alongside the ABM, intent and CRM tools you already use, and supply the people, data and outbound infrastructure that turn a target account list into conversations.
Do you run ABM advertising or content?
No. We run the outbound layer of ABM: buying committee mapping, email, LinkedIn and calling, reply management and meeting qualification. If you run ABM advertising, we coordinate outreach with it so the accounts you are warming up are the accounts we contact.
How many target accounts do you need to start?
Enough that the deal value justifies researching each account properly. For high value, complex sales a list of a few hundred accounts is often plenty; for shorter cycles we work in larger tiers with lighter personalization.
How is this different from an appointment setting agency?
An appointment setting agency finds contacts, sends email and books meetings. We start from your target accounts, map each buying committee, build the data, coordinate email, LinkedIn and calling across every contact, qualify the interest and report by account. It is closer to an outsourced pipeline engine than to appointment setting.
