Find and engage prospects with a reason to buy right now.
I help vertical SaaS outbound teams increase meeting booked rate by finding prospects with verified pain signals from public data, then build the messaging that lands.
The Problem
Your outbound isn't broken because of messaging. It's broken because of targeting.
Your ICP describes thousands of companies but doesn't tell you who needs you right now. You've tested new templates, SDR personalization, different outreach sequences. Nothing moved the needle.
Because no amount of great messaging makes an irrelevant message relevant. And every competitor is pulling the same lists from the same tools. Same data in, same results out.
A Different Approach
What if you could see who actually needs you?
There's public data that reveals which companies are under pressure right now. Data your competitors aren't using.
Traditional Targeting
Firmographics + intent data tools
- ✕Filter by industry, headcount, revenue
- ✕Pull from ZoomInfo, Apollo, Sales Nav
- ✕Layer on intent data and hope for the best
- ✕Shows you who to contact, but not why or why now
Pain-Based Targeting
Government & public data sources
- ✓Target based on verified pain signals
- ✓Source from any public data: government filings, violations, permits, and more
- ✓Data your competitors don't know exists
- ✓Shows you why they need you and why right now
See the difference
General contractors, 100+ employees, $50M+ revenue, using Procore, showing safety software intent signals.
General contractors with 3+ OSHA citations in the last 6 months and 4 new building permits filed this quarter.
Hospitals with 200+ beds in top 50 metros, CNO job change in last 90 days, showing staffing intent.
Hospitals whose CMS star rating just dropped below 3, with RN vacancy rates above 15% and overtime costs up 40% YoY.
Private colleges with 5,000+ students, growing endowment, VP of Student Success recently hired.
Colleges with accreditation on probation, enrollment down 12% YoY, and 3 program reviews due in the next 6 months.
The Messaging
Generic outreach vs. pain-based outreach.
Toggle between a typical cold email and one built on real pain signals.

Subject: Quick question about safety training
Hi Mike, Congrats on the recent growth at Apex Construction. Looks like things are really taking off! I'm reaching out because we help construction companies like yours streamline their safety training and compliance tracking. We've worked with companies like Turner and Skanska to reduce incident rates by 30%. Our platform automates OSHA compliance, tracks certifications, and makes reporting effortless. Would you be open to a quick 15-minute call this week to see if it's a fit? Best, Sarah
The first email could go to any construction company. The second delivers value before they ever respond. That's the difference.
