Managed Outreach: founding seats
We run your location outreach. You take the calls.
Managed Outreach is for vending operators who already have machines placed. We research local businesses that fit your route, email them in your business name and send you the ones who want to talk.
5 founding seats
Managed Outreach founding campaigns are run by hand, so we are starting with 5 operators.
We review every application and confirm terms on a short call before anything is charged.
How it works
- Apply. We check your territory before you pay anything.
- If we approve you, we email you a secure link to pay the setup fee.
- You approve your sender name, address and three emails.
- We research 150 properties a month, with verified decision-maker contacts where available, and run the campaign.
- Interested replies reach you within one business day, with a one-page brief.
- Every Monday you get a plain report of what we did.

Who it is for

Not for people who have not started yet. If that is you, Lead Finder is the better start. Try Lead Finder.

- Monthly fee

What we promise and what we don't
We promise to go live within 21 days of your setup details, to research 150 properties a month, to report every Monday and to pass interested replies within one business day, with credits if we miss.
Results vary. Some campaigns produce no interested replies. We don't promise meetings, placements or income.
Questions
Whose name is on the emails?
Yours.
Do you use my main email?
No. We use a separate domain you own, so problems with outreach don't touch your main email.
What if my area is too small?
We tell you before you pay.
How long is it?
A 90-day first campaign billed monthly from your first send, then month to month.
What if I leave?
You keep everything and get your export within 5 business days.
