Meet UsIn early 2014, our founders found themselves short on cash and in dire need of hitting our sales goal for the company to survive. To achieve an unlikely outcome, they built themselves software to equip 3 salespeople to sell like 20. Outreach was born.
From that moment we’ve understood how technology can change the game for revenue teams. It’s what led us to believe in the power of salespeople to drive innovation. Today, we’re a determined team on a mission to change the way companies engage with their customers throughout their lifecycle.
