Outbound that works. Managed entirely by us.
Cold email and LinkedIn outreach run end-to-end by an experienced team. We build the list, write the copy, manage the replies, qualify the prospects and book the meetings — under your brand. You see the qualified meetings, never the operational mess.
Outbound is the right answer for recruitment agencies.
Inbound channels compound — but compounding takes time most agency owners don't have. Outbound is the only channel where you can decide on Monday what you want next month's pipeline to look like.
SEO, content, ads, referrals. Compounds beautifully — over 12–24 months. Brilliant if you can wait. Expensive and slow if you can't.
- ·6–18 month payback window
- ·Requires content production every week
- ·Hard to forecast next month's pipeline
- ·Cuts off the moment you stop investing

- →First meetings as soon as campaigns are live
- →Total control over which companies you target
- →Predictable monthly meeting volume
- →Scales with effort, not luck

What good outbound looks like, in numbers.
Benchmarks from active Sapphire Revenue accounts in the recruitment vertical, averaged across the last 90 days.
Four things almost nobody else gets right.
Buying signals over blast lists
We do not buy a list of every company in your sector. We track who is posting roles, raising funding, hiring leadership, opening new offices — and contact them while the signal is hot.
Hand-written, not AI-generated
Every sequence is written by an operator who has read your brand voice and your previous client wins. Generic AI copy is the fastest way to be deleted unread.
Reply management is a person, not a bot
When a prospect replies they get a real, thoughtful answer from a real person. Inboxes auto-replied by ChatGPT die in days.
Qualification before booking
We only book meetings with prospects that pass an agreed qualification gate — live role, decision authority, no exclusive PSL conflict.
Deliverability is 80% of the game. We get it right on day one.
Cold email only works if your messages arrive in the inbox. Sapphire Revenue runs the full deliverability stack so you don't have to learn SPF, DKIM and DMARC.
Dedicated sending domains
We set up 2–4 lookalike domains registered in your name (yourbrand.co, getyourbrand.com, etc.) — you pay the registration fees directly (~£10–15/domain/year). We configure SPF, DKIM and DMARC so your primary domain is never at deliverability risk.
Inbox warming
Every new mailbox runs through 21 days of automated warm-up before a single prospect is contacted. We never blast a cold inbox — every sender has reputation before it sends a campaign.
Deliverability monitoring
We watch placement weekly using Google Postmaster, Mail Tester and seedlist tests. If any domain dips, it gets rotated out and rested while replacements take over.
Sending caps and pacing
Each mailbox sends 30–40 emails per day, paced over working hours, never above the threshold that triggers Google's or Microsoft's spam filters.
