Here's what's running behind every LeadStrong campaign. [See it in action](#) [Meet Katie](/meet-katie/) What's behind it ## A system that runs itself Alta connects to your CRM, your sales calls, and your existing content to build a real context layer about your business, your buyers, and your competitors. On top of that, it deploys AI agents that carry out the actual work of outbound: research, outreach, replies, and handoff, across real LinkedIn and email identities. LeadStrong configures, trains, and operates it on your behalf, so nothing about running it falls on you. ### Always on Prospecting, outreach, and follow-up run continuously, not in bursts around someone's calendar. ### Real identities, not blasts Every message goes out through a real Rep: a real LinkedIn account and mailbox, never a spray-and-pray sender. ### Fully managed A dedicated LeadStrong team configures, trains, and optimizes the platform, so you're never handed a login and left to figure it out. Inside the platform ## Every capability, built to work together Katie's Brain ### A knowledge base that keeps every message on-brand Your pitch, your case studies, your sales playbooks, and your positioning all live in one place. Katie references it for every message, so outreach sounds like your business, not a generic template. - Pitch decks, case studies, and product pages feed the AI directly - Global rules keep tone, terminology, and compliance consistent - Refined continuously as campaigns reveal what resonates Pitch deck & case studies Sales playbook Brand tone & terminology "Hi Jordan — noticed **Acme's Q3 expansion** into enterprise... " — on-brand, every time Multi-channel touchpoints ### LinkedIn and email, working as one sequence Katie coordinates connection requests, LinkedIn messages, and email into a single sequence per prospect, so nobody gets a duplicate pitch on two channels, and every follow-up has context from what came before. - Real LinkedIn Rep accounts, not automation-flagged bots - Dedicated warmed mailboxes for deliverable, spam-safe email - Each rep's booking link auto-inserted so replies can self-schedule Sequence · Jordan Diaz Connect → Message → Email One thread, no duplicate pitches, booking link auto-inserted on reply. AI-qualified targeting ### Every prospect verified before the first message Before outreach goes out, AI Conditions check each prospect against your real ICP: company profile, industry fit, disqualifying signals, so budget and volume go toward the accounts that are actually worth pursuing. - Filters run before send, not after the fact - Broad lists narrowed to genuinely qualified accounts - Tuned per campaign as results come in Acme Co · VP SalesQualified RandomBiz · InternFiltered TechFlow · Head of GrowthQualified Checked against ICP before send, not after. CRM integration ### Clean handoff, no manual entry Alta connects directly to HubSpot, Salesforce, and other major CRMs, automatically excluding existing customers and competitors, then pushing qualified conversations straight to your sales team the moment they're ready. Excluded: existing customers Synced in real time JD Jordan Diaz → CRM Qualified reply pushed to your pipeline Co-pilot & Autopilot ### You control how hands-on it stays Every new campaign starts in Co-pilot, with our team reviewing messages before they send. Once quality is proven, campaigns graduate to Autopilot, running independently while we keep monitoring performance behind the scenes. Co-pilot "Hi Jordan — following up on your team's..." Pending review Autopilot "Hi Sara — congrats on the Series B..." Sent automatically Customize your touchpoints ## The sequence, tuned to how your buyers actually respond Nothing about the outreach cadence is one-size-fits-all. We build the sequence, channel order, timing, and message style, around your audience, then keep refining it as replies come in. #### Conversational, not salesy Written like a person reaching out, not a brochure landing in an inbox. #### Value-first, always short Leads with relevance or insight; connection notes and openers stay brief. #### Personalized every time References real company context, not a mail-merge fill-in-the-blank. #### LinkedIn connection request A short, personalized note, no pitch, just a real reason to connect. #### LinkedIn message Sent once the connection is accepted, leads with relevance, not a product pitch. #### LinkedIn follow-up A brief nudge a few days later if there's no reply, never pushy. #### Email Layered in once mailboxes are warmed, for a true omni-channel sequence. Why Alta ## We looked at the market. This is what actually replaces a prospecting team. Most tools solve one piece: data, sequencing, or reporting.
