Fit check
Who this is for
This is for you if
- You are HR, payroll and learning technology vendors with a defined business offer
- You need meetings with HR managers, heads of people, L&D managers, payroll managers and COOs
- Your sales team can run the demos or discovery meetings we book
- Your deal value supports an ongoing outbound sales process
- You can agree target accounts, exclusions and meeting criteria before launch
Not the right fit if
- You need consumer sales rather than business meeting booking
- Your offer is too broad to explain to a specific buyer
- Your team is not available to run the meetings we book
- You expect guaranteed sector-specific meeting volumes
Buyers
Who we call
We map decision ownership before calling, so the meeting reaches the person responsible for workforce workflows, learning delivery and software review timing.
| Role | What they care about | Best time to reach them |
|---|---|---|
| HR managers | Workforce workflows, administration and system usability | Outside recruitment and payroll peaks |
| Heads of people | People priorities, adoption and change ownership | Outside leadership meetings and people programme launches |
| L&D managers | Learning needs, delivery workflows and reporting | Outside training delivery and enrolment peaks |
| Payroll managers | Payroll workflow, integration needs and system accuracy | Outside payroll processing deadlines |
| COOs of mid-sized firms | Operational fit, implementation effort and decision authority | Outside operational reviews, at an agreed callback time |
These are planning cues, not fixed calling hours. We confirm suitable callbacks with each organisation and call within applicable rules.

Questions & answers
Common questions about outbound for hr and learning tech.
Still have questions?
Book a 30-minute callMid-market HR teams can be targeted by the company profile and workforce needs you define. We map whether the decision sits with HR, people leadership, payroll or operations before booking the demo.
We can scope targeting around lawful, available system information and verify the current HRIS when a contact shares it. Competitor usage is a signal to confirm, not a claim that every account is ready to replace its system.
We lead with the relevant workforce or learning problem and ask for a suitable callback if the contact is busy. Follow-up uses the notes from that conversation rather than repeating a generic software pitch.
We book the agreed next step, whether that is a product demo or an initial discovery meeting. Buyer fit, need, purpose and attendance are confirmed against the criteria your team approves.
Starting at $7,000 a month. The exact fee is quoted after a 30-minute call, once we agree your target buyers and meeting definition.
