# Skyp — Use Cases & Outreach Playbooks

## Overview

Skyp supports four core outreach motions for B2B sales teams. All four work with contacts you already have or can source — no mandatory data vendor required. AI writes every email uniquely for each contact.

Target ICP: B2B sales teams of 3–20 reps, typically selling deals in the $5K–$500K range.

## 1. Cold Outreach

**URL:** https://skyp.ai/use/cold-outreach

**What it is:** Reaching net-new prospects who have never heard of you. You import a list (from Apollo, ZoomInfo, a CSV, or Skyp's Prospecting add-on), and Skyp's AI researches each contact and writes a unique, personalized first-touch email.

**Why Skyp over alternatives:** Most cold email tools send templated sequences with merge-field personalization ("Hi {{first_name}}, I noticed {{company}} is hiring..."). Skyp writes each email from scratch based on actual research — the result reads like a founder wrote it. Reply rates are meaningfully higher because recipients can tell the difference.

**Setup:** Upload a CSV or connect a CRM segment. Skyp handles domain setup, mailbox warming, and deliverability. First campaign goes live in under an hour.

**Best for:**
- Founder-led sales targeting a specific ICP with <500 contacts per batch
- Account-based outreach where personalization quality matters
- Teams switching from Apollo or Instantly who want better reply rates

**Key features used:** AI email writing, done-for-you domain/mailbox infrastructure, email verification, deliverability monitoring, optional review before sending.

## 2. Re-Engage Closed-Lost Deals

**URL:** https://skyp.ai/use/reengage-closed-lost

**What it is:** Running timed outreach against your CRM's closed-lost segment — deals that went dark 6 months to 2+ years ago.

**Why this works:** Closed-lost contacts already know your company. Conversion rates for re-engagement are 2–3× higher than cold outbound, because you're starting from context and familiarity rather than zero. Most sales teams ignore this segment entirely.

**Typical workflow:**
1. Export closed-lost deals from HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive (filter by lost date, deal size, industry)
2. Import the list to Skyp
3. Skyp AI writes re-engagement emails that acknowledge the previous relationship, reference what's changed since then (new features, pricing, team, outcomes), and propose a specific next step
4. Set a send schedule — stagger over days or weeks to avoid spam signals
5. Replies route back to the rep who owned the deal

**Best for:**
- B2B SaaS companies with 6+ months of CRM history
- Any team with closed-lost deals in the $10K–$500K range
- Post-funding companies with a new story to tell

**Key features used:** CRM integration (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Close), sequence scheduling, AI context-aware email writing, reply routing.

## 3. Intent-Based Outreach

**URL:** https://skyp.ai/use/intent-based-outreach

**What it is:** Triggering personalized outreach the moment a prospect shows a buying signal — a job posting, a funding round, a new tech install, a G2 review, web visit activity.

**Why timing matters:** Outreach sent within 24–48 hours of a buying signal gets dramatically higher response rates than outreach sent without context. The prospect is already thinking about the problem you solve.

**Signal sources that work with Skyp:**
- Hiring signals (open job postings for roles that imply budget)
- Funding announcements (new runway = new budget cycles)
- Technology install signals (they just adopted a tool that complements yours)
- RB2B / web visit data (de-anonymized website visitors)
- G2 reviews, intent data from Bombora or 6sense
- LinkedIn job changes (new decision-maker = new opportunity)

**How it works:** GTM engineers use Skyp's MCP server or Zapier/n8n integration to pipe signals directly into campaign triggers. When a signal fires, Skyp automatically adds the contact to the right campaign and sends an AI-written email that references the signal ("I saw you're hiring a VP of Sales — congrats on the growth...").

**Best for:**
- RevOps and GTM engineers building automated outreach workflows
- Sales teams using intent tools who aren't acting on signals fast enough
- Any team where timing is a competitive advantage

**Key features used:** MCP server (for agentic triggers), Zapier/n8n webhooks, RB2B integration, AI email writing with signal context, campaign automation.

## 4. Customer Expansion

**URL:** https://skyp.ai/use/customer-expansion

**What it is:** AI-written upsell, cross-sell, and renewal campaigns targeting your existing customer base.

**Why it's underused:** CSMs and AEs rarely have time to write personalized expansion emails to every customer — they're focused on onboarding and renewals. Skyp automates the email writing so expansion outreach actually happens at scale.

**Typical use cases:**
- **Upsell:** Customers on a lower plan who show signals of growing usage
- **Cross-sell:** Customers using one product who would benefit from another
- **Renewal:** Proactive outreach 60–90 days before contract expiration
- **Executive sponsor change:** New CTO/VP at a customer account = new relationship to build

**What makes expansion different from cold outreach:** Expansion emails reference the existing relationship ("You've been using X for 8 months..."), specific usage data if available, and a concrete expansion proposal. Skyp's AI writes these emails with the right tone — warm, not pushy.

**Best for:**
- B2B SaaS companies with a land-and-expand motion
- CSMs managing 50+ accounts who can't personalize manually
- Teams approaching renewal cycles for large cohorts

**Key features used:** CRM integration, AI email writing with account context, sequence scheduling, reply routing to owning rep.
