OUTMARKET AI × BUZZLEAD · THE HIVE · SEPTEMBER 2026
BuzzLead

Welcome to the Hive, Outmarket AI.

Vishal, we just finished a run with Lumion, vertical SaaS for trade schools with a first marketing hire and no outbound. Outmarket AI is shaped the same way. It would have been wrong not to get this in front of you. So: a jar of honey, and the plan.

Underneath the jar: every US insurance agency mapped, the 20,000 that look like Houchens and Moody, and three campaigns we'd run for Outmarket AI in the next 30 days.

Section 01 · Why there's honey on your desk

Three things came with the jar.

01

The honey

Raw, from a US apiary. Something you'll open instead of file.

02

This page

Your market sized, the customers you already win and the accounts that look like them, and three campaigns: TAM, lookalike, intent. Built for Outmarket AI.

03

The call

Twenty minutes with Troy and Nick. We bring the account list we'd start with. You tell us where to start.

Section 02 · The company shaped like you

Lumion: zero pipeline to 50+ meetings in 31 days.

Vertical SaaS for trade and technical schools. First marketing hire, no outbound, a niche of 10,000 to 30,000 schools. We mapped five sub-verticals, timed the CDL play to a Pell Grant policy window, and routed replies straight to their SDRs. Same shape as Lumion: a public licensing registry of buyers, a renewal-driven purchase cycle, and a founder-led sales team that needs pipeline now.

In the span of a month, we've had well over 100 positive responses. We've scheduled 45 to 55-plus meetings with an 80% hold rate.Andrew Jones, Head of Marketing, Lumion

Section 03 · The sweet part

What could be sweeter than 20,000 to 33,000 more of your best customers?

You already have the dream ones: the insurance agencies that grow, retain, and refer others without being asked. We take those, run them through our lookalike tool, and find another 20,000 to 33,000 that look exactly like them. Then we run hyper-personalized, highly targeted outreach to every one.

Same size, same setup, same reasons to buy as the accounts on the right. Modeled, not guessed.

Section 04 · Your market, sized

Every cell is a insurance agency.

Every licensed agency and its producers sit in a public dataset filed with the state insurance department, alongside carrier appointments and license renewal dates. We build the list from that, enrich the buyers, and time the sends to the renewal and appointment calendar.

Section 06 · Three strategies, deployed together

TAM, lookalike, intent. Every angle, from day one.

This isn't one list and one email. We deploy three strategies at once, each with its own angle: the whole market gets the offer, the accounts that mirror your best customers get the proof, and anyone showing a buying signal gets a note the week it happens. Then we double down on whichever one the market answers.

STRATEGY 1 · TAM

Own the whole market

TargetThe ~20,000 agencies in your sweet spot: 5 to 50 employees, principal and sales director enriched from state license directories
AngleOne AI platform for quoting, follow-up and retention instead of spreadsheets and call lists
~20,000 ACCOUNTS
STRATEGY 2 · LOOKALIKE

Mirror your best customers

TargetAgencies that look like Houchens Insurance Group, Moody Insurance Agency and Virtus: same size band, commercial lines mix and multi-location structure
AngleLead with the agency they already resemble and the retention lift after Outmarket AI
~20,000+ ACCOUNTS
STRATEGY 3 · INTENT

Catch them in-market

TargetAgencies showing a buying signal this quarter: new principal, PE-backed acquisition, producer hiring surge, or new carrier appointment
AngleA one-to-one note written from the signal, sent the week it happens
~6,700 PER QUARTER ACCOUNTS
