Why outbound has not worked yet.

Most teams lack the infrastructure, market coverage, and reply handling required to run cold email consistently.

No outbound infrastructure

Without separate domains, verified lists, and deliverability monitoring, campaigns cannot scale safely.

Most prospects never hear from you

Referrals reach people who already know you. They leave most of the addressable market untouched.

The team running your campaigns.

Oleg Pevzner

founder, Slate GTM

I built Slate’s outbound operating system and still work directly on client campaigns with our engineering team. The same system also runs Slate’s own pipeline.

Before Slate, I worked in investment banking at Evercore, joined TrueNorth as its 18th employee and became a senior product manager, then co-founded a software company that grew past 100,000 users. Today we manage 270+ sending domains across client campaigns.

Recent development

3,935 changes shipped to our outbound system in the last six months

This is a GitHub contribution graph. Each square is one day; the greener the square, the more improvements shipped.

What clients say

“Oleg and his team really expanded our horizons on what we thought was possible with cold email. Strategy wise, he was able to find us prospects that most other agencies miss.”

Read full testimonialShow less

“I run an automation agency myself. I brought Oleg in to advise on the outbound. He was highly recommended by several reputable agency owners in the space. Our cold email system at the time was already strong, but Oleg and his team really expanded our horizons on what we thought was possible with cold email. Strategy wise, he was able to find us prospects that most other agencies miss. We were even able to consistently hit enterprise decision-makers, which is almost unheard of in cold outbound. His outreach is genuinely personal and creative instead of the recycled templated AI slop that most cold email “gurus” use. On the infrastructure and technology side, what Oleg and his team are building with AI right now is what the rest of the industry will be copying in six months.

Currently our sales team is regularly receiving over 100 leads per day, and booking 60-70% of them. We attribute a huge amount of that success to Oleg and his team. Whenever someone needs outbound, Slate is who I point them to.”

Common questions before working with Slate.

What counts as a qualified sales call?

A qualified sales call is a completed meeting with a decision-maker at a company matching the ICP we agree in writing, with your offer as the agenda. The definition and price per call are set in the contract before launch, so both sides know exactly what counts.

How is Slate different from a typical outbound agency?

Slate charges for qualified sales calls, not sends or contact volume. You also work directly with the people who build and run your campaigns instead of handing the account to a separate account manager.

Will this put my domain at risk?

No. Your corporate domain never sends cold email. We use a separate set of warmed domains and inboxes, with conservative sending limits and daily monitoring.

What happens to everything if I leave?

You keep the assets. If you leave, we transfer the domains, verified lists, copy, and campaign history to you.

See if cold email makes sense for your business.

In 30 minutes, we size your market, review the economics, and outline the work. You get the analysis either way.
