# Skyp — Industry-Specific Playbooks

## Overview

Skyp is a B2B email outreach platform that works across industries, but certain verticals have dedicated configurations — handling compliance requirements, specialized data sources, regulatory language constraints, and vertical-specific buying cycles.

Core platform features are the same across all industries: AI-written personalized emails, done-for-you domain/mailbox infrastructure, MCP server access, and optional human review before sending.

## B2B SaaS

**URL:** https://skyp.ai/use/b2b-saas

B2B SaaS is Skyp's home vertical. Most Skyp customers are selling SaaS products to other businesses.

**Common motions:**
- **Cold outreach to ICP accounts** — import from Apollo, ZoomInfo, or a CRM export and run AI-personalized cold campaigns
- **Trial-to-paid conversion** — trigger outreach when a free trial user shows engagement signals but hasn't converted
- **Product-led growth (PLG) expansion** — identify power users, trigger upgrade outreach with usage context
- **Competitive displacement** — campaign targeting customers of a known competitor, especially after a price increase or product deprecation
- **Renewal** — proactive outreach 60–90 days before contract expiration

**Data sources commonly used:** Apollo, ZoomInfo, G2 intent, LinkedIn job changes, product usage data via CRM custom fields.

**MCP workflows:** GTM engineers commonly build agentic pipelines that: detect a signal (trial signup, intent, job change) → look up contact data → add to Skyp campaign via MCP → trigger personalized email.

## Healthcare

**URL:** https://skyp.ai/use/healthcare-sales-compliance

Healthcare is one of Skyp's most regulated verticals. Email outreach to health systems, physician groups, and digital health buyers requires careful compliance handling.

**Compliance considerations:**
- HIPAA applies to patient data — Skyp does not use or process PHI (protected health information)
- CAN-SPAM and CASL apply to commercial outreach
- Some healthcare buyers have strict vendor communication policies — Skyp allows customization of the review workflow so every email can be approved before sending
- Promotional content restrictions vary by product category (medical devices, pharmaceuticals, software)

**Who sells into healthcare via Skyp:**
- Healthcare SaaS companies (EHR, billing, compliance, clinical operations)
- Medical device manufacturers targeting hospital procurement
- Digital health companies selling to health systems, medical groups, or payers
- Healthcare staffing and revenue cycle companies

**Typical prospect lists:** CMOs, CNOs, CIOs, VP Operations, Department heads, Procurement leads at health systems, IDNs, ASCs, and physician groups.

**Data sources:** HIMSS data, Definitive Healthcare, health system directories, LinkedIn.

## Financial Services

**URL:** https://skyp.ai/use/financial-services

Financial services outreach spans fintech, wealth management, insurance, banking, and institutional finance — each with different regulatory constraints.

**Compliance considerations:**
- SEC and FINRA rules govern investment-related communications — Skyp's AI can be configured to avoid specific language claims
- State-level money transmission and lending laws apply for some products
- GDPR and CCPA apply for European and California-based prospects
- Skyp's human-in-the-loop review is frequently used in financial services to ensure every email meets compliance standards before it sends

**Who sells into financial services via Skyp:**
- Fintech companies selling to banks, credit unions, or wealth management firms
- Enterprise software companies targeting CFOs, Treasurers, or risk teams
- Insurance technology (InsurTech) selling to carriers or brokers
- B2B companies targeting hedge funds, PE firms, or family offices

**Common use cases:** Cold outreach to bank CIOs, net-new outreach to RIAs, competitive displacement of incumbent providers, executive sponsor change campaigns.

## Commercial Real Estate

**URL:** https://skyp.ai/use/commercial-real-estate

CRE is a high-relationship, long-cycle industry where personalization quality directly impacts whether deals happen.

**Sub-verticals with dedicated pages:**
- [CRE Brokers](https://skyp.ai/use/commercial-real-estate/brokers) — sourcing off-market deals, reaching landlords and owners
- [CRE Marketing teams](https://skyp.ai/use/commercial-real-estate/marketing) — demand generation for brokerages and developers

**Common motions for CRE:**
- **Deal sourcing:** Outreach to property owners, operators, and landlords with personalized notes referencing the specific asset or portfolio
- **Tenant representation:** Reaching tenants (companies) who may be approaching lease expiration
- **Capital markets:** LP outreach, debt capital raise, JV partner sourcing
- **Leasing:** Reaching prospective tenants in target industries for vacant space

**Why personalization matters more in CRE:** CRE relationships are long-term and reputation-based. A generic blast email can harm your standing in a market. Skyp's AI-written emails read like a broker wrote them personally — referencing the specific property, market context, or company situation.

**Data sources:** CoStar, CBRE/JLL data exports, county property records, LinkedIn.

## Private Equity

**URL:** https://skyp.ai/use/private-equity

Private equity firms use Skyp primarily for proprietary deal flow — reaching founders and management teams before a formal M&A process begins.

**Common motions:**
- **Proprietary deal sourcing:** Thesis-driven outreach to founders of companies matching your investment criteria (revenue range, industry, growth rate, ownership structure)
- **Platform company BD:** Once you own a portfolio company, run outreach for their sales team or to source acquisition targets (bolt-ons)
- **LP outreach:** Fundraising outreach to family offices, institutional LPs, or fund-of-funds
- **Founder relationship building:** Long-horizon outreach to founders of companies that aren't ready to sell now but might be in 2–3 years

**Why AI personalization matters in PE:** Founders get cold outreach from PE firms constantly. Generic "we invest in B2B SaaS companies generating $5M–$50M ARR" emails are ignored. Skyp's AI researches each company and writes a note that demonstrates actual diligence — referencing the company's market position, recent milestones, or strategic context.

**Data sources:** PitchBook, Crunchbase, LinkedIn, CapIQ.

## Government & Public Sector

**URL:** https://skyp.ai/use/government-sales

Government sales involves long procurement cycles, relationship-heavy buying processes, and strict communication protocols.

**Who sells to government via Skyp:**
- GovTech companies selling software to federal, state, or local agencies
- Defense contractors reaching program managers and contracting officers
- Consultancies pursuing government contracts
- Companies selling to quasi-governmental entities (utilities, transit authorities, public universities)

**Compliance considerations:**
- Government procurement often has rules around unsolicited contact — Skyp's review workflow lets you approve every email before sending
- Some agencies use official channels (SAM.gov, procurement portals) — Skyp outreach is typically used for relationship development and pre-RFP education, not contract solicitation

**Common motions:** Outreach to CIOs and CTOs at agencies ahead of budget cycles, relationship-building with contracting officers, follow-up after industry events and conferences.

## Political Campaigns

**URL:** https://skyp.ai/use/political-campaigns

Political campaigns use Skyp for donor outreach, volunteer recruitment, and advocacy email campaigns.

**Common motions:**
- **Donor outreach:** Personalized asks to past donors, prospective major donors, or bundlers
- **Volunteer recruitment:** Reaching potential volunteers based on geography, interests, or past civic engagement
- **Advocacy:** Mobilizing supporters to contact elected officials or attend events
- **GOTV (Get Out The Vote):** Last-mile outreach to registered voters or identified supporters

**Compliance considerations:**
- FEC and state campaign finance laws govern campaign communications
- CAN-SPAM applies to commercial-style email (Skyp ensures opt-out compliance)
- Some states have specific rules around political solicitation — consult your campaign's legal team

**Why Skyp over broadcast email tools:** Skyp's AI-written emails read like a campaign staffer wrote them personally, not like a mass email blast. Higher open and reply rates than Mailchimp or Constant Contact for individual outreach. Different tool than broadcast — Skyp is for 1:1 targeted outreach, not newsletter sends to the full list.
