Good target, and we have a head start: the buyer-ICP model from your last three closed-wons already says who to look for — senior IC champion, technical economic buyer, no procurement. Three things to lock before I go near anyone's inbox: whose mailbox do these send from, what's the angle, and what are the hard rules on touch limits, stop conditions, and suppression?
Clean slate, mostly: no open opps, one stale contact from a 2024 eval that I've suppressed. And the timing is decent — they're hiring six deployment engineers right now, which is usually when agent reliability becomes someone's full-time problem. Building the prospect list.
Subject: scaling agent rollouts past the pilot — Saw your QCon talk on keeping support agents reliable once they hit real enterprise traffic; the bit about silent regressions between model updates matches what every deployment team tells us. We build the ops layer for exactly that: every agent run traced, evaled, and gated before it ships. Worth 20 minutes to see if it maps to how your team rolls out? Happy to send a 3-minute recording instead if that's easier.
Done — the VP Eng note now opens on SOC 2 + on-prem deployment, flattery cut. Send window is Tue–Thu plus Friday morning, 8–11am recipient-local. Sequence per person: initial note, gentle bump at day 4 (one new fact, no guilt-trip), breakup at day 10. Stops on reply, unsubscribe, or out-of-office — OOO pauses the sequence and resumes after the return date.
SPF / DKIM / DMARC all pass from your mailbox, spam score 0.3/10, plain text with zero trackers. Stop-on-reply verified end to end at 1.4s, unsubscribe is immediate and account-wide, and the schedule respects one first-touch per day at Decagon.
The Head of Deployment Engineering accepted a 25-minute slot Thursday 2pm. Their sequence is stopped, and remaining first-touches at Decagon are paused while the conversation is live — nobody else there gets cold email while you're talking. A prep doc from the campaign research is drafted and attached to the calendar invite.
Outbound Campaign Agent
Drafts approval-gated · stop-on-reply 1.4s · suppression + send-window enforced
Campaign is live and self-managing: follow-ups fire on schedule, stop the instant someone replies, and every touch lands in HubSpot. You have a meeting Thursday with the same champion profile the ICP model predicted. Report and send log attached.
