  • Choose the market

    Targeting and ICP

    A precise ideal customer profile tied to your real wins, turned into verified prospect lists your campaigns actually pursue.

  • Make it relevant

    Messaging and copy

    Campaign context, follow-up instructions and calling guidance written for your offer and buyer personas.

  • Connect the channels

    Cadence design

    Which prospects get calls, which get email, in what order and rhythm, tuned to how your market answers.

  • Learn from the work

    Continuous optimization

    A weekly read of live campaign analytics: build on the segments that book and rework the copy that stalls.

02 / Building the plan

Research first. Then choose what to test.

The playbook starts with your business, not a generic touch pattern. Research informs the account segments, buyer personas and message angles your team will use.

  1. 01

    Research

    Your strategist studies your company, product, market, and competitors before writing a word.

    More about research

    The engagement starts with a deep dive into who you sell to and why they buy, then translates it into segments and a target market definition the whole playbook is built on. Record the evidence behind the targeting and mark assumptions that still need to be tested.

  2. 02

    Personas

    The decision-maker profiles your messaging will speak to, each with its own pains and angle.

    More about personas

    Each buyer persona group gets its own pain points, priorities, and buying signals, so the same campaign reaches an economic buyer and a hands-on champion in the language each one responds to.

  3. 03

    Messaging

    The campaign context and calling guidance your team will use.

    More about messaging

    Your offer, supporting facts, tone, and follow-up instructions guide managed email. Calling guidance covers openers, questions, and objections for each audience. You review the plan before launch.

  4. 04

    Optimize

    The playbook keeps improving as real campaigns run and the data comes in.

    More about optimize

    Hypothetical review: one segment has more replies but fewer held meetings. Before changing the message, separate positive replies from refusals and automatic responses, then check the handoff and no-shows. Your strategist can propose one focused change, such as a narrower account segment, while keeping the offer and qualification rule stable. Agree on the measure and review period, record the change, and compare the next results on the same basis. The example is a way to frame a decision, not a forecast.

Your review comes before outreach.

The published process starts with kickoff and a draft playbook in week one, then list building, copy and approvals in week two. Most programs launch in about three weeks. Review timing and the work needed affect the schedule.

03 / Your playbook

Not just a document. The context for daily work.

Define who you pursue, what you say and how the team handles the conversation. Your approved playbook lives in the platform where campaigns run.

01

ICP + target market

Who the program pursues and why, with account segments and the boundaries of your target market.

Targeting
02

Buyer personas

Pains, priorities and buying signals per role, so each decision-maker gets a relevant angle.

03

Email campaign context

Your offer, audience, tone and follow-up instructions guide the emails written for each prospect.

Email
04

Calling context

Campaign-specific openers, objections and company context help SDRs prepare for the conversation.

Calls
05

Objection handling

Guidance mapped to each persona, so your team can respond with the buyer's priorities in mind.

Follow-through
From approved plan to daily work

One strategy. People and AI working from it.

SDRs run the conversations. SalesHive AI supports research and personalization. Your strategist connects those activities to the audience, offer and cadence, rather than handing off a plan and walking away.

  • Targeted prospect lists
  • Campaign-specific calling guidance
  • Personalized email context
  • Results for the next review
04 / The weekly review

Let the market shape the next move.

Your strategist reviews connected calls, replies, objections and meetings to decide where targeting and messaging need to change.

Human judgment

Choose a change for a reason.

Your strategist chooses the priorities, reviews the results and keeps the program aligned with your business. A reply count alone does not tell you whether the right people want to meet.

05 / Cost, commitment and fit

Strategy stays connected to the team doing the work.

Every managed engagement includes a dedicated strategist. Compare the whole scope, not a consulting document in isolation.

One monthly fee

Custom quoted. No setup fees.

Your managed fee includes the SDR team, strategist, platform, data and tools. The rate depends on team location, channels and daily outreach volume. It is not a per-meeting price.

Compare current plans
Approval before launch

Review the plan before you pay.

Meet the team, review the playbook and approve the messaging. Campaigns and billing do not start until you approve everything for launch.

Know the commitment

Month-to-month or annual.

After outreach starts, month-to-month cancellation requires written notice. Outreach and billing end at the end of your next billing month. Annual plans carry a longer commitment. Your signed agreement sets the terms.

Is this the right starting point?

A managed program fits B2B teams that want both a plan and people to run outbound. If you want to run the campaigns yourself, discuss that scope on the call. Agree on your market, offer and qualification criteria before choosing the outreach volume. Meeting results depend on buyer response; we do not guarantee a number.

Questions / Answers

Bring your market, offer and questions to a no-obligation 30-minute call.

What does a dedicated sales strategist at SalesHive do?
Your strategist owns the whole outbound sales strategy: defining your ideal customer profile and buyer personas, developing campaign context and calling guidance, designing the cadence across calls and email, and optimizing all of it weekly against live campaign analytics. They also direct the AI agents and US-based SDRs executing the plan, so strategy and execution never separate. Every SalesHive engagement includes one.
Is this sales strategy consulting, or do you run the outreach too?
Both, and that is the point. The strategy is the foundation, and the same strategist stays on your account while the campaigns run on the SalesHive platform: US-based SDRs calling and emailing, AI agents researching and personalizing, your strategist reading results and tuning targeting week after week. The playbook is built to be executed, not handed off and forgotten.
How is this different from hiring a sales consultant?
The difference is ongoing execution. Your SalesHive strategist stays with the managed program, reviews real prospect responses, and refines targeting and messaging with the team running outreach. Compare that scope with the implementation and ongoing support included in any consulting proposal.
What is a sales playbook?
It is your complete go-to-market document: who you target, the personas you sell to, the approved messaging and calling guidance your team uses, and how every objection gets handled. It turns a fuzzy "let’s do outbound" into a repeatable system anyone on the team can execute, and it lives on the platform where campaigns run, so it stays current instead of gathering dust.
How quickly is the playbook ready?
The published process starts with kickoff and a draft playbook in week one, followed by list building, copy and approvals in week two. Your review timing and the work needed affect the schedule. Agree on the plan with your strategist before outreach begins.
How do you define our ICP and buyer personas?
Your strategist starts with a deep dive into your company, product, market, and competitors, then translates that into a precise ideal customer profile and the decision-maker personas your messaging speaks to, each with its own pain points and buying signals. You review and refine everything with your strategist before a single message goes out.
