Who it's forInroads Agency · Updated 2026

Outsourced prospecting for coaches who teach growth and need their own calendar full.

Content works when you post. Referrals are lumpy. The setter quit. The AI tool embarrassed you in front of your own audience. Here is the channel that runs whether you posted this week or not.

We asked 20 coaches this year what fills their calendar when referrals slow down. Content, mostly, when they post consistently. Referrals, which are lumpy. One had a setter who quit. One bought an AI tool that sent messages he would never write to people who follow him. Nobody said "my outbound system," because for most coaches there isn't one.

Who this is for

Business coaches, sales coaches, executive coaches, and high-ticket program founders who sell on a sales call, have a named program with client results, and close at least one in five qualified conversations. Owners and founders, one to ten people, United States.

The reasons we reach out, so it never reads like a template

We don't message people because they match a title. We message them because something changed. For coaches, the signals we watch:

Each message names the reason. That is the entire difference between a message that gets ignored and one that gets a reply.

What we do, and what you keep

A custom AI connected to LinkedIn builds the list from the profile we agree on, with hard filters. It drafts every message from the prospect's real posts and activity. A person reads every message before it sends. We work the replies the way a person would and hand you the ones that are real, with the thread and the reason they said yes. You keep the highest-value work: the sales conversation.

Here's the operator math. If your offer is $5,000 and you close one in five conversations, every real conversation with a fit prospect is worth $1,000 in expectation. Ten extra a month is a six-figure annual difference, from a system that runs whether you posted this week or not. That's a model, not a promise, but it's the math that decides whether outbound is worth building.

The numbers, measured

Across 65,000+ connection requests: 46.6 percent accepted against a 26.4 percent industry figure. 28.4 percent of those replied against 9.4 percent. 78.5 percent of replies were positive, measured by a blind read of 1,000 of them. 37.5 percent of replies became a conversation.

The Conversation Engine is $4,000 a month on a 90-day initial term, then month to month. See it before we send it: you approve targeting and sample messages before launch.

I've been burned by an AI setter. Why is this different?

Because the AI here never sends. It researches and drafts. A person reads every message before it goes out, and you approve the targeting and samples before launch. The thing that embarrassed you was the missing person. We are the person.

Will it sound like me?

It's built from your positioning and your voice and sent from your account. If a message doesn't sound like something you'd say, it fails our review and doesn't go out.

How fast will I see calls?

Weeks one and two build conversations. Weeks three and four they mature into calls. Anyone promising day-one meetings is selling the funnel, not the service.
