AI SDR Agency: We Run Your Outbound Stack Like Engineers

You bought the stack everyone on LinkedIn said to buy — Clay for enrichment, an AI sending tool, a dozen inboxes across a few domains — typically $1,700-5,000 a month. You handed it to whoever had spare time. The first month, replies came in. Then reply rates decayed, a prospect forwarded you an email that landed in spam, and now you're worried someone connected your primary company domain to a sending tool to "boost volume."

The structural cause: AI collapsed the cost of sending, volume exploded, and inbox providers responded with tighter bulk-sender rules. Deliverability and operations became the bottleneck no tool vendor will run for you. The scarce input in this category is a competent operator, not another subscription.

A calendar with qualified meetings. A weekly report showing cost per meeting. Sending domains that stay healthy. A founder who spends time on calls instead of on Clay tables.

Volume-based vendors sell you "10,000 emails a month!" We sell a weekly report showing sends, placement rate, positive-reply rate, meetings booked, and cost per meeting — with the measurement method stated in writing every time. If a number can't be audited, it doesn't go in the report.

This is built for B2B SaaS companies (roughly $500K-5M ARR) and 10-50-staff agencies with a proven offer and a named ICP. It is not built for pre-product-market-fit startups, "spray everyone" mandates, or anyone who wants a meeting-volume guarantee. We'd rather tell you no on the scoping call than take your money and fail quietly.

We treat inbox placement as an engineering problem: separate sending domains that never touch your primary domain, correct DNS/SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup, warmup instrumentation, per-inbox daily caps, and seed-list placement testing before every campaign. When placement dips, we pause the affected domain, diagnose, rewarm, and resume — an incident protocol written into the runbook you keep. Google and Microsoft keep tightening bulk-sender rules; volume senders die first, and engineered senders inherit their pipeline.

Assess → Pilot → Prove → Scale → Operate. Weeks 1-3 are infrastructure — domain setup, warmup, list building, and copy evals — because warmup is physics and cannot be rushed without damaging placement. First live sends begin around week 3-4 at capped volume, with weekly copy A/B tests and replies triaged into booked meetings. That is exactly why the minimum term is 90 days: shorter terms force vendors to skip warmup and spray volume, which is how sending domains die.

Every stage produces a client-visible artifact you keep: an Outbound Readiness Report, an infrastructure report with seed-tested placement at 95% or higher, a weekly meetings report, and a runbook that documents how the whole operation runs.

Retainers run $2,500-5,000/month depending on segments and channels, plus a one-time infrastructure setup and a 90-day minimum. Warmup is physics — anyone selling results in week two is selling your domain reputation. Tool subscriptions (Clay, sending platform, inboxes — typically $1,700-5,000/month in this category) run in your own accounts, billed to you directly: you own the data, the domains, and the stack if we ever part ways.

We run our own outbound on the exact stack we run for clients, and we publish the live numbers — emails sent, seed-tested placement rate, positive-reply rate, and meetings booked for Nano AI, updated monthly. Many of our own prospects reply to a line in the sequence itself: "this email was researched and sequenced by the stack we'd run for you." We also share a copy-eval report sample so you can see the testing discipline before you buy. We never fabricate client logos or testimonials — where we don't yet have published case studies, we show you the methodology and our own results instead.

Clay for enrichment and list building, Smartlead for sending and inbox rotation, n8n for workflow automation into your CRM, HubSpot, Pipedrive, or Salesforce for CRM sync and attribution, and Cal.com or Calendly for booking — plus seed-testing and monitoring tooling named in your SOW. No proprietary lock-in: every account is yours, and if we part ways you keep the entire working stack and the runbook that documents how it operates.
