Now
With 100Signals
Your team publishes content but it doesn't rank for the terms that actually drive procurement decisions.
You publish the article. Procurement teams reference it.
Your outbound gets replies, but not from the $200K+ accounts you actually want.
Your name is familiar before the first email lands.
Your marketing works, but it's generalist. It doesn't compound. Every quarter starts from roughly the same baseline.
Every article, citation, and backlink you earned last month is still working this month. The baseline goes up.
You're rebuilding your delivery model, figuring out pricing, trying to launch a product, and pipeline still depends on referrals and your personal network.
The system booked 3 meetings while you were negotiating a contract extension.
Prospects ask ChatGPT or Perplexity who does [your niche]. Your agency isn't in the answer.
When an LLM gets asked, your name is the answer.
Your team is good. Your marketing (probably) isn't broken.
It's just spread too thin. Niche dominance is a specialist job. That's the job we took.
Based on insights from 300+ campaigns
Reply rates ranged from 1% to 10%. The variable was always the same.
300+ outbound campaigns for dev agencies. When prospects recognized the sender, from LinkedIn, search, AI recommendations, replies came. When they didn't, nothing worked.
→ 5–10x more replies when prospects recognize the sender
Cold outreach <1%
Warm outreach ~2%
With recognition 5–10%
The 90-day build
Most vendors take 6 to 8 weeks to ship anything. Here's our calendar.
Day 5
First niche content live.
First founder LinkedIn post ready for review. The library starts compounding now, not after a six-week onboarding.
Day 7
200 to 500 target accounts loaded.
LinkedIn ads running against the list the same week. Every channel from here on points at these exact accounts.
Day 10
AI citations start landing.
Your name appears when buyers ask ChatGPT or Perplexity who builds software in your niche.
Day 30
Outbound in motion.
Inbox warmed, list verified, first replies arriving. Sequences fire when accounts show buying signals, not on a calendar.
Day 90
Four channels. One account list.
Prospects have seen your content, your ads, your founder, and your name in AI answers. Outbound lands on a warm list. Direct conversations inside the accounts you picked.
What it feels like from the buyer's side
When the CTO at one of your target accounts sees your founder's post on Monday, gets a warm email on Wednesday, Googles your agency on Friday and finds ranking content, then asks ChatGPT who builds software in your niche and sees your name, that's not luck. That's the system.
Outbound, LinkedIn ads, authority content, and AI citations do not run one at a time. They run against the same 200 to 500 accounts, from the same week.
Authority compounds. Outbound delivers fast. The system does both.
Authority alone
Compounds like inbound. Slow start, exponential growth over time. Content ranks, AI citations build, credibility deepens.
Outbound alone
Linear. Fast first impact, but doesn't scale. Every email sent to a stranger starts from zero recognition.
Pipeline: both together
Quick pipeline from outbound on day one. Compounding authority that makes every email, ad, and touchpoint more effective over time.

Built and ran marketing inside dev agencies. Learned what actually predicts reply rates. Built a system around it.
15 agencies between $5M and $100M have hired 100Signals since. Client names under NDA. References on request: before you sign, we'll introduce you directly to past clients, CEOs and founders of 300 to 500 person firms.
"I now build the system I wished I had from the start."
No 100-slide decks. No strategy documents gathering dust. Every dollar produces an asset you use next week: content that ranks, a sequence that gets replies, a landing page that converts.
"It's when you need someone who can stand up a real outreach engine rather than just fire off a few emails. That's where he delivered well beyond what I'd expected."
One agency per niche per geography. One agency per niche per geography. One agency per niche per geography.
Once your niche is claimed, your direct competitors can't hire us. You're not buying a service. You're claiming a position.
Five situations. Five answers. Pick yours.
“I just want to see where I stand.”
“I'm not sure which niche to pick.”
Niche Authority × 2–3
Run two. The market tells you which one to scale. You keep both libraries either way.
See how validation works →“I picked a niche. Now I need the market to believe it.”
Niche Authority
Rankings, AI citations, founder LinkedIn. In 90 days, every buyer who checks on you finds a coherent niche expert.
See Niche Authority →“I need predictable pipeline.”
Lead Generation
Niche mapped, 200–500 accounts targeted, outbound running, authority compounding underneath it.
See Lead Generation →“I'm repositioning the whole firm.”
Strategic Pivot
Bigger scope, longer runway, deeper calls. Multi-vertical rebuild with monthly founder strategy sessions.
Discuss your situation →What if I pick the wrong niche?
We lock the niche in week one, then start shipping. No four-week research phase, no discovery deck. We analyze 30 verticals against your track record, competitive density, and demand signals, pick one, and ship content and ads against it the same week. The real validation comes in the 90 days after: real content ranking, real AI citations, real outbound replies. The market tells you if the niche works. Not a research report.
What happens if I stop after 3 months?
You keep everything. Every article, every landing page, every connection, every playbook. No lock-in. We have to earn the retainer.
Do you work with my competitors?
One agency per niche per geography. Period. While you're our client, your direct competitors can't hire us. The exclusivity is structural, not a marketing line.
One call. A straight answer on whether your niche is winnable.
30 minutes. Which vertical you can own, the 200 to 500 accounts inside it, whether a 90-day build pays back.
