Brilliant Outreach.io deliverability is key to unlocking its full potential. Stricter spam filters can block your sequenced prospecting, follow-up, and closing emails—wasting your sales efforts. Meet Allegrow, the leading email deliverability platform built for Outreach users.
Allegrow seamlessly integrates with Outreach, providing real-time monitoring and automatic adjustments to safeguard and enhance your email reputation. By using Allegrow’s specialized Outreach email deliverability module, called the Safety Net, teams can spot issues before they escalate, reduce spam risks, and optimize inbox placement.
A strong deliverability strategy is vital for outbound teams aiming to fill the pipeline and drive new opportunities. Even the most compelling email copy won’t perform if it never reaches the inbox. By using Allegrow in tandem with Outreach, companies often see considerable improvements in response rates, lower bounce rates, and robust sender reputation. Below are a few success stories:
While selling further up-market and prospecting larger businesses, Richard at Workvivo found buyers' inboxes were harder to reach for the sales development team and spam filters were tougher to get through. Therefore, the business saw a clear need to invest in a solution to improve the sender's reputation, as email deliverability is a core competency for their outbound sales motion.
The Solution & Results:
Workvivo implemented Allegrow within 16 days and integrated the entire system into Outreach.io as their system of execution for sales. As a result of better deliverability following the implementation, their team saw a 200-300% increase in reply rates on outreach campaigns. Simply put, as Richard describes in the full case study here, without a solution like Allegrow to make sure emails land in the primary inbox, your investment in tools like Outreach.io and Zoominfo can be wasted.
In this video interview, Paul Rosa IV, Senior Manager of Sales Development at Pave, explains how Allegrow helps the sales team monitor email deliverability by showing exactly where emails land (inbox vs spam), automatically halting sends to risky contacts, and offering insights on how different outbound content fares against spam filters. By avoiding the use of a core domain for outbound and leveraging alternate channels for high-risk contacts, Pave streamlines and protects its outreach.
Pave specializes in real-time compensation data and planning workflows, managing over $186B annually for top tech companies to help them benchmark, plan, and communicate total rewards decisions. In their go-to-market motion, they utilize both Allegrow and Outreach.io to execute an effective sales motion.
Alexander Kogan and Alan Talavera at Spring Labs encountered email deliverability issues, where crucial emails to clients and potential leads often ended up in spam folders. This issue was particularly troublesome for employees, even when emailing current clients, as a significant portion of outbound communications were being blocked. The company needed a solution that could fully integrate with their existing Outreach.io tech stack and enhance their email sender reputation. With high bounce rates and a deteriorating sender reputation, Spring Labs aimed to stop emails from landing in spam and improve their outreach effectiveness.
Allegrow provided the perfect solution for Spring Labs by seamlessly integrating with their existing systems and addressing their deliverability challenges. The platform's features, such as the Safety Net, helped reduce bounce rates to below 3% and boosted the sender reputation to a steady 95%. Allegrow's capabilities in preventing harmful email sends and analyzing outdated data maintained a high-quality contact list. This resulted in improved email reach, restored confidence among the sales team, and eliminated previous deliverability issues, ensuring communications landed in primary inboxes effectively. The full case study outlining these results is available here.
Valarie, the Head of Sales Development on a team on Outreach.io, needed to find a solution that would ensure their team wasn’t jeopardizing their core domain and reached the engagement targets. They felt domain reputation might be a key source of lead generation woes.
The Results: After integrating, Allegrow boosted open rates by more than 50% across their Sales Development team. Using Allegrow’s Safety Net to flag and prevent bad email sending (and prioritize prospecting safe contacts) was a core contributor to this outcome.
