How Frontier Booked Demos with Airtable and Validated SaaS Messaging Using AI Outbound

 

Client Overview

Company: Frontier
Industry: SaaS / Sales Enablement
Team Size: Lean startup team
ICP: Sales leaders and enablement teams at fast-growing B2B companies using Outreach.io
Why They Chose Danish Lead Co.: Frontier needed a fast, data-driven outbound system to secure early signups and demo calls—without spending on ads or wasting time on low-quality leads.

Challenges Before AI Outbound

Frontier had a clear ICP and a strong product but lacked real-world validation from active Outreach.io users. Their main challenge was to educate potential users on why Frontier mattered now—while generating early traction and feedback loops to refine their go-to-market positioning.

Our AI-Powered Outbound System

We built a hyper-targeted, segment-based outbound engine in under 2 weeks:

  • Targeting: Two-tier approach to Outreach.io users:
    • <100 data-preserve-html-node="true" employees: Direct sign-up CTA for fast adoption
    • 100+ employees: Demo-driven CTA focused on sales leadership teams
  • Messaging: Tailored email sequences:
    • Smaller teams received quick-start CTAs emphasizing frictionless testing.
    • Larger teams got credibility-based copy showcasing proof points and peer adoption.
  • System: Fully managed multi-step campaigns with AI-enriched data, personalized variables, and real-time deliverability monitoring.

Results

✅ 4 positive replies from 100+ employee companies within 30 days
✅ Demo booked with Airtable after internal referral
✅ Multiple smaller-company signups from the Outreach.io ecosystem
✅ Rapid message validation and proof of market fit

Airtable’s sales exec forwarded the outreach internally with the comment:
“This is how cold email should be done.”
