How We See Your Situation

2

Market Leadership Position

#1 volunteer app on both Google Play and App Store, establishing clear market dominance in volunteer management software

3

What's In The Way

1

Scaling Award-Winning Innovation

With multiple prestigious awards and market leadership, pressure to maintain innovation pace while scaling operations to meet growing nonprofit demand

2

Competitive Nonprofit Tech Market

Despite market leadership, need to continuously differentiate against emerging volunteer management platforms and traditional nonprofit software providers

3

Cross-Sector Expansion

Serving diverse nonprofit sectors (healthcare, education, animal welfare, food banks) requires specialized features and industry expertise for each vertical

Our Approach

For businesses with large TAM, there is no better growth engine than outbound. We approach this process not as a guessing game, but as a structured experiment in message-market-fit.

Every two weeks, we launch 4 to 8 campaigns — each one a unique combination of industry, segment, persona, value angle, and language framework. This lets us isolate what resonates and where.

If the contact list is small, we rotate personas to avoid message fatigue. If the list is large, we hold persona constant and rotate segments to uncover scalable patterns. Messaging angles and frameworks are always varied, allowing us to test strategic positioning at scale.

This system produces more than leads — it reveals what your market actually responds to. That means faster learning, sharper positioning, and a repeatable path to relevance.

AI Cold Outbound

Cold Email Infrastructure Setup

We could write the perfect email, but if it hits spam folders, game over. That's why we go heavy on infrastructure: 60 primary domains with 120 inboxes (split between Outlook and Gmail), plus 60 backup domains with another 120 inboxes for redundancy. We handle ESP matching, spam detection avoidance, domain reputation management, and all the technical stuff that keeps your emails landing where they're supposed to.

Lead Gathering and Automated Prospecting

We get creative with data sources. Sure, we can pull from ZoomInfo or Apollo, but we're also hitting industry-specific databases, scraping conference attendee lists, pulling from trade association directories, mining LinkedIn group members — whatever gets us the right people. Then we layer behavioral signals on top using tools like Apify, RB2B, and Ocean. Downloaded a competitor's case study? Visited your pricing page? Engaged with industry content? All of that intent data gets combined with our lists to create dynamic prospect pools that update based on actual buying behavior.

Campaign Design & Copywriting

We use everything — boilerplate templates, custom messaging, industry-specific angles, persona-based copy, you name it. Then we test all of it against the signals data we're collecting. Maybe a proven template works best for recent funding signals, but custom copy converts better for job change triggers. We're constantly running these combinations through A/B tests to see what actually drives conversations. It's not about one approach — it's about knowing which approach works for which signal.

What You'll Get

Metric-based milestones, not vague promises.

W0

Kickoff & Discovery

Discovery call completed and ICP documented

All tool access provisioned (Clay, HubSpot, HeyReach, etc.)

Domain infrastructure planned (email domains, warming strategy)

Campaign framework and testing roadmap defined

Slack channel established for daily communication

W2

Why LinkedIn launches first

Email domains need 2-4 weeks to warm up before we can send at scale. LinkedIn doesn't have that constraint. So while your email infrastructure is warming behind the scenes, LinkedIn outreach is already running — generating conversations, booking meetings, and building pipeline from day one. Once email is fully warmed, both channels fire together for maximum coverage. This means you're never sitting idle waiting for infrastructure.

Golden-Specific Campaigns

Outbound campaigns tailored to your business with follow-up sequences built in.

Campaign #1

Volunteer-to-Donor Conversion

Target nonprofits asking about converting volunteers into donors. Uses Golden's AI fundraising differentiator with specific conversion metrics.

Trigger: Nonprofit job postings mentioning fundraising goals, grant applications, or donor acquisition challenges

Why This Works

Leverages Golden's unique AI fundraising differentiator. Focuses on recurring revenue which nonprofits desperately need. Uses specific metrics to build credibility.

Subject: Volunteer donors?
{{first_name}}—do you already have a reliable way to turn volunteers into donors? Most nonprofits we work with see 23% of volunteers convert to monthly donors using our AI fundraising tech. Animal welfare orgs like yours typically raise an extra $47K annually just from volunteer conversions. Worth exploring?

Campaign #2

Compliance Nightmare

Target nonprofits struggling with volunteer background checks, insurance, and compliance requirements that Golden automates.

Trigger: Recent news about nonprofit compliance issues, insurance claims, or background check requirements in their area

Why This Works

Addresses critical pain point of nonprofit compliance which can shut them down. Positions Golden as the only solution that handles full compliance workflow.

Subject: Compliance headache
{{first_name}}—how are you handling volunteer background checks without drowning your staff in paperwork? Most {{org_type}} organizations spend 8+ hours per week on compliance admin that our platform automates in minutes. We're the only volunteer software that handles insurance liability, background screening, and reporting automatically. Worth eliminating that headache?

Campaign #3

Volunteer Retention Crisis

Target nonprofits with high volunteer turnover using engagement data and Golden's retention features.

Trigger: Social posts about volunteer recruitment struggles, high turnover mentions, or difficulty filling volunteer slots

Why This Works

Addresses universal nonprofit pain of volunteer retention. Uses specific statistics to demonstrate clear ROI on engagement features.

Subject: Volunteer turnover
{{first_name}}—seeing posts about volunteer recruitment challenges. Are you losing volunteers faster than you can replace them? Most nonprofits using spreadsheets for volunteer management see 40% annual turnover versus 12% for orgs using our engagement platform. We automate volunteer communication, recognition, and scheduling to keep people coming back. Worth reducing that turnover rate?

Spreadsheet Chaos

Target nonprofits still managing volunteers manually with spreadsheets, highlighting Golden's automation and time-saving benefits.

Trigger: LinkedIn posts mentioning volunteer coordination challenges, manual processes, or administrative burden

Why This Works

Targets the universal pain of manual volunteer management. Uses app store ratings and awards for credibility. Focuses on time savings rather than features.

Subject: Spreadsheet chaos
{{first_name}}—quick question about {{organization_name}}'s volunteer coordination. Still using spreadsheets or have you automated it? Most nonprofits waste 15+ hours weekly on manual volunteer management that our platform handles automatically. We're the #1 rated volunteer app on Google Play and App Store, trusted by organizations managing 50-50,000+ volunteers. Worth eliminating that admin burden?

Proof of Concept

$50M+ in Pipeline Generated

Hello Hero

Youth Mental Health Teletherapy Platform

Challenge

With youth mental health reaching crisis levels and schools struggling to provide adequate support, Hello Hero needed to connect their teletherapy platform with decision-makers across thousands of school districts while simultaneously building their provider network to meet anticipated demand.

Solution

Our team executed an ambitious dual-track strategy: we built a comprehensive database mapping every administrator in every public school across the United States, then uncovered their direct contact information for personalized outreach. Running parallel campaigns, we simultaneously recruited licensed mental health professionals to ensure platform capacity could scale with client acquisition.

Ben's Bites

Led by Ben Tossel (Anthropic Investor, Makerpad) • AI Education SaaS

Challenge

With the AI education market becoming increasingly saturated, Ben's Bites needed to convert their newsletter audience into paying enterprise customers for their comprehensive learning platform. They had strong brand awareness but lacked a systematic outbound motion to reach enterprise buyers.

Solution

Our team deployed a multi-channel outbound strategy combining email campaigns, social media outreach, and inbound-led LinkedIn targeting to drive corporate adoption. We implemented coordinated outreach (over 40 different campaign types!) targeting business leaders and executives at Fortune 500 companies investing in AI training initiatives. Each campaign was A/B tested and optimized weekly.

VirtualFork

Restaurant Technology & Ghost Kitchen Platform

Challenge

VirtualFork needed to rapidly expand their restaurant partner network while competing against well-funded competitors in the ghost kitchen and virtual restaurant space. Traditional restaurant sales cycles were slow and required significant relationship building.

Solution

We built targeted campaigns focusing on independent restaurant owners and multi-unit operators, using job posting signals and review data to identify restaurants ready to expand their delivery presence without additional overhead. Our trigger-based campaigns identified restaurants hiring delivery drivers or expanding locations.

Challenge

Rightworks needed to accelerate their market penetration in the highly competitive accounting software space, targeting mid-market accounting firms considering a move to cloud-based solutions. Their sales team was stretched thin covering inbound leads.

Solution

We deployed intent-based outbound campaigns targeting accounting firms showing signs of digital transformation—hiring for tech roles, attending cloud accounting webinars, or engaging with competitor content. Our multi-touch sequences combined personalized email with LinkedIn engagement.

Highline

Bill Pay & Financial Wellness Platform

Challenge

Highline needed to reach HR decision-makers and benefits administrators at mid-market companies to pitch their bill pay benefit. The challenge was breaking through the noise in a crowded employee benefits market where buyers are constantly bombarded by vendors.

Solution

We created highly segmented campaigns based on company signals—recent benefits announcements, open enrollment timing, and HR leadership changes. Our "poke the bear" approach asked questions about current employee financial wellness programs before pitching, resulting in significantly higher engagement.
