1. Overview & Context
AI Outreach is a Q1/Q2 2026 initiative to modernise how SYENSQO's Marketing and Communication teams identify, enrich, and engage cold leads at scale. It combines Clay's enrichment capabilities with Salesforce CRM workflows and Smartlead for email sending — all governed by a light Agile delivery model.
💡 Why now? |
1.1 Strategic Goals
- Expand cold lead reach — target leads that have gone cold using AI-enriched signals and structured eligibility rules.
- Eliminate manual data transfers — replace CSV exports/imports with a native Clay ↔ Salesforce connector.
- Real-time Sales visibility — surface outreach volume, reply outcomes, and positive responses in Salesforce dashboards.
- Governance & brand safety — define who can be targeted, how AI agents are identified, and how escalations are handled.
