The Problem

The fundamental tension in outbound sales is between personalization and scale. Highly personalized emails achieve 2-3x higher response rates than generic templates, but researching each prospect and crafting custom messages takes 10-15 minutes per email—unsustainable for SDRs managing hundreds of prospects. Most sales teams compromise by using templates with basic merge fields (name, company, title), but buyers have become adept at recognizing and ignoring templated outreach. The result is declining email effectiveness across the industry, with average cold email response rates falling below 2%. Sales teams need a way to achieve genuine personalization at scale without sacrificing the volume needed to hit pipeline targets.

The Solution

LeadIQ's Scribe AI enables sales teams to generate highly personalized email content at scale by leveraging prospect data, company intelligence, and natural language generation. When composing outreach, reps activate Scribe to analyze the prospect's LinkedIn profile, recent posts, company news, job changes, and other signals that inform relevant, timely messaging. The AI generates multiple personalized opening lines, value propositions, and call-to-action options tailored to each prospect's specific situation. Scribe goes beyond basic personalization to identify genuine connection points—shared experiences, mutual connections, relevant company initiatives, or recent achievements worth acknowledging. Reps can generate personalized content for entire prospect lists, review and edit AI suggestions, and A/B test different approaches to optimize messaging. Scribe learns from engagement data, improving recommendations based on what resonates with your specific audience. The feature integrates directly with email clients and sales engagement platforms, enabling reps to generate and send personalized emails without context switching.
