On Haku since
2025
Before
Outbound ran on manual emailing and manual prospecting off a bought database. The list looked like every competitor’s list, and the team could tell from reply content that prospects were hearing the same pitch from several vendors in the same week.
What changed
Custom signals replaced category filters. Rather than "hiring", the team described the specific condition worth acting on, and Haku resolved it per account against live sources with the evidence attached.
The result
Meetings booked doubled against the same period on the previous stack, with a 42% engagement rate in the first quarter. The first booked meeting landed on day nine.
Haku found accounts we had no reason to look at, and told us why they were ready. Nine days in we were booking meetings off it.
