For early-stage founders, outbound can feel like shouting into the void—especially when you don’t have brand recognition, case studies, or a marketing budget. In this tactical workshop, fractional GTM & sales leader Laura Garrison will teach founders how to generate real pipeline using lean, founder-led outbound strategies that work before you have traction. No tools, fancy tech, or paid campaigns required.
Laura will break down the core components of outbound that actually convert: clear ICP definition, sharp messaging, and personalized outreach that cuts through the noise. You’ll learn how to create outbound experiments that validate who cares about your product, what resonates, and where real demand exists—so you can prioritize the right customers and stop wasting time on the wrong ones.
This session is designed for scrappy founders who need results fast. Laura will share templates, scripts, and frameworks for writing outbound that feels human, not spammy—plus the systems you need to stay consistent without burning out. Expect a practical, no-fluff workshop that leaves you with a repeatable outbound process you can run tomorrow.

The 3 types of outbound experiments every founder should run early
