How Hyperscale works
Find the right people
Search by job title, keywords and location, paste a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search, or upload your own list. Hyperscale checks several lead-data providers for each person's work email and verifies it.
Research each one
AI reads each person's public profile and company, so every message can mention something real about them.
Write every message
AI drafts a message for each person. You can check, edit, rewrite or delete any of them before they go out.
Send and follow up
Campaigns send on your schedule from your own Gmail, Outlook or SMTP mailbox and your LinkedIn account (connection requests, messages and Sales Navigator InMail), with follow-ups. Pause a campaign at any time.
Keep your CRM in step
Export leads as a CSV, or on Pro and Growth, sync them to HubSpot, Close or another CRM.
