The Problem
Enterprise sales cycles involving six and seven-figure deals require engagement with large buying committees spanning multiple departments, geographies, and organizational levels. Single-threaded deals—those dependent on a single champion—face extreme risk when that contact changes roles, leaves the organization, or loses internal influence. Yet most sales teams lack systematic approaches to multi-threading, leaving relationship building to chance and rep initiative. Without visibility into stakeholder engagement across the buying committee, sales leaders cannot assess deal risk or coach reps on relationship gaps. The result is late-stage deal losses that blindside the organization and devastate forecast accuracy.
The Solution
Outreach's enterprise selling capabilities enable systematic multi-threaded engagement that protects deals and accelerates consensus building. The platform maps buying committees by role and influence, tracking engagement levels with each stakeholder and identifying relationship gaps requiring attention. Automated sequences nurture secondary contacts with role-appropriate messaging while reps focus on key decision-makers. Stakeholder engagement scores surface deals with single-threaded risk, enabling proactive intervention before relationships cool. Conversation intelligence identifies stakeholder sentiment and concerns across all interactions, providing a comprehensive view of organizational dynamics. Coordinated outreach ensures consistent messaging across the buying committee while personalizing content for each stakeholder's priorities.
