Instantly alternative
for Fortune 500 selling.
Looking for an Instantly alternative? If your next customers are Fortune 500 accounts, Max from MaxedS works a short list of them: a dated reason to act, cited drafts you approve, and no cold calls.
What Instantly does
A fair summary, from their own pages.
Instantly is an email outreach platform with an AI Sales Agent. The agent finds and enriches leads that fit your ideal customer profile, can prioritize buying signals such as funding or product launches, and writes the emails. By default it asks for your approval before finding more leads or sending; Autopilot runs without approvals. Instantly connects Google, Microsoft or IMAP/SMTP sending accounts, with optional warmup.
