Buyer questions
Straight answers to what business owners ask before they hire a salesperson, buy software, or work with an outbound team.
It means an outside team finds the right businesses to contact, gets verified emails for the decision makers, writes and sends the emails, follows up, and books meetings on your calendar. You show up to the meetings. At Pipley that includes the sending domains and inboxes, so nothing goes out from your main email address.
Hiring a full-time salesperson runs $3,500 to $5,000 or more per month plus payroll and ramp time. Buying the tools yourself starts around $200 per month, before the time it takes to learn them, write copy and manage deliverability. Managed outbound agencies commonly charge $2,500 to $10,000 per month. Pipley's done-for-you program is $1,200 per month for a 60-day pilot with no setup fee, then $1,500 per month. The self-serve Pipley Engine is $1,100 to $2,200 per month.
Pipley runs outbound for small and midsize businesses two ways. Done for you: Pipley builds the verified list, writes and sends the email from dedicated domains, and books meetings. The Pipley Engine: the same system as software you run yourself at app.pipley.ai. Both find a company's best markets from its website, mark companies with buying signals, and check deliverability before anything sends.
Local and regional businesses that sell to other businesses or work through referral partners: roofing and exteriors, auto hail and paintless dent repair, insurance agents, building materials and lumber yards, HVAC, pest control, solar, manufacturing, auto dealerships, and other B2B companies.
It can if it's sent from your main domain. Gmail and Outlook judge a domain by how people react to its mail, so cold email from your main address can push your everyday email into spam too. Pipley sends from separate domains with warmed-up inboxes, and checks every campaign before launch: sender records (SPF, DKIM and DMARC), warmup, a plain first email, and a live inbox placement test at Gmail and Outlook.
The most common causes are sending from a brand-new or main business domain, missing sender records, not warming up inboxes, and first emails with links, images, buttons, tracking or prices. Pipley's deliverability check looks for each of these before a campaign can launch.
About 14 days for a new done-for-you client. Most of that is inbox warmup, which protects deliverability. Pipley Engine customers with warmed-up inboxes of their own can launch as soon as their campaign passes the deliverability check.
Reasons a company may be ready to buy right now. Pipley marks two kinds: recent hail or damaging wind near the business, from NOAA storm reports, for storm-driven trades like roofing and hail repair; and sales jobs posted on the company's own careers page. Those companies are contacted first, and the first email can open with a plain line about it.
No. Pipley does not scrape LinkedIn or automate LinkedIn messages. Contacts come from Google Maps business listings, each company's own website, public license records and licensed business data, and every email is checked before it sends.
Yes. Pipley takes one client per category, per territory. A competitor can't buy in behind you, and leads in your markets only go to you. Multi-location companies are priced per territory.
Done-for-you clients get their own dashboard with emails sent, replies, meetings, and who is being reached by industry, role and city. They can read every email in the sequence and ask for changes. Pipley Engine customers see the same numbers for their own campaigns.
No. The done-for-you pilot runs 60 days, then you continue at $1,500 per month or stop. Pipley Engine plans have no setup fee.
Yes. Upload a spreadsheet or a CSV export from HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive and the contacts land in your Pipley pipeline with their stages and notes.
