Multi-touch Attribution for Outbound Sales
A solo founder reports using automated LinkedIn and cold email outreach to hit $85k MRR, but struggles to understand which channels and touchpoints actually drive conversions. Operators describe needing to map micro-dropoffs from profile view to reply to booked demo, yet current tools lack multi-touch attribution for outbound sequences. This creates a data gap where founders optimize blindly rather than by signal.
Problem Statement
Founders running multi-channel outbound campaigns (LinkedIn DMs, cold emails, cold calls) cannot attribute which touchpoint or sequence led to a demo booking or paying customer. They optimize by feel rather than data, leading to wasted spend on channels with poor conversion and missed opportunities to double down on what works.
The Idea
An outbound-focused analytics tool for B2B SaaS founders who need to attribute revenue to specific outreach touchpoints and channels.
Why Now
The surge in automated outbound tools (LinkedIn automation, cold email platforms) has created a market of founders running high-volume outreach without visibility into which touchpoints convert. TrustMRR and similar verification tools make revenue data more transparent, raising the bar for attribution expectations.
Target User
B2B SaaS founders running outbound sales with limited revenue data.
Target Market
Early-stage B2B SaaS companies using multiple outreach channels.
