“Basically borrowed the stack that a bunch of people in outbound communities were already running anyway (feel free to steal it lol), and switched to Apollo for the base lists, FullEnrich for coverage gaps, Clay to wire everything together, and Lemlist for sequences.”
“The data side went the same direction, with tools like Apollo or FullEnrich pulling contact info from a LinkedIn profile in seconds instead of needing a separate data subscription, and the outreach layer was already nearly free before any of this, with things like Lemlist or Instantly running full sequences for a fraction of what a sales hire costs.”
“Currently we have a sales person running my linked in and she does cold outreach using LinkedIn sales navigator and emailing using Lemlist - she’s a contractor and we pay her £1000 a month, she’s the most successful avenue we’ve tried and has got us quite a few meetings in the first quarter of doing it.”
“So right now when a signal clears, it kicks off a multichannel sequence through Lemlist automatically (email, LinkedIn and calling) from one flow without anyone having to manually enroll the account, which is where most of the overhead was sitting before.”
“FullEnrich first then Clay picks up what it missed so you know the contact's real, then Lemlist handles the sequences with Claude on personalizations and Gmail as the sender, and once a client's running I'm in it maybe a few hours a week.”
“Getting the detection side wired wasn't the issue, but connecting it to a multichannel sequence without manual enrollment was, so the agent now enriches through Clay and routes into Lemlist for the sequence, where Lemlist's own credit-based intent signals run in parallel.”
“Nothing in the motion has changed much since we're still building lists through Clay off hiring signals and tech stack triggers, running sequences through Lemlist across email and LinkedIn, at roughly the same volume as when it was working.”
“We use HubSPot and every activity is automatic. Linkedin (via LemList integration), Aircall for call/sms, HubSpot for email/calendar/meetings. Grain for all transcriptions automatically in.”
“Tried something similar with hubspot and the sync is always the weak link in my experience lemlist does push back into crm but once you add linkedin steps it gets messy real fast”
“So basically I stand at a position where my only goal is to pitch a client and then make my first sale. Keeping cold calling aside I tried instagram dms and same results more than 500+ messages no response. Then I tried emailing 2-3 people a day with a regular gmail no results gmail got spammed. I have also been looking for potential clients on skool communities but trust me everyone there is looking for the same thing.”
“I'm not going to compare it to established tools like Instantly, Smartlead, or Lemlist — those are mature products with years of work behind them, and this isn't trying to compete with that yet. This is early, and I'd rather be upfront about that than oversell it.”
“To follow up on that, I wanted to break down what actually leaves your bank account when you evaluate the bottom of the price ladder, especially if you're trying to avoid dropping $79/mo on something like Lemlist Email Pro just to test the waters.”
“Lemlist handles personalized email sequences well but its LinkedIn automation is thinner than HeyReach's. If the dialer is a hard requirement, that alone narrows you to Amplemarket since neither HeyReach nor Lemlist ships one natively.”
“Lemlist makes more sense if email is a bigger part of the mix, while Amplemarket is quite comprehensive but can be more than you need at <1k messages/week.”
“We also used Lemlist and while emails were good the LinkedIn automation tanked our reps engagement on LinkedIn because their automations are technically against the terms of service.”
“Lemlist feels like the better fit for a smaller team wanting LinkedIn + email + calls in one workflow, while Amplemarket makes more sense if you also care about data, signals, and deeper automation.”
“I myself use Amplemarket for my own business. I'm somebody who used to consolidate a lot of tech stacks, where people use tools like ZoomInfo, Lemlist, SalesLoft, and Outreach.”
“I’m a lemlist user myself, and what I like about it is that you can actually combine LinkedIn + email + calls in the same sequence. So you’re not managing a LinkedIn tool + an email tool + a dialer separately.”
“That said, for 2 SDRs wanting multichannel, Lemlist can make sense. Two gotchas before you migrate though, pricing is per seat, tolerable at 2-3 seats but it starts to hurt around 4-5, so I’d consider pricing the team you'll have in a year, not the one you have now.”
“Decided to make the jump a while ago and don't regret it, instantly felt like flying blind half the time with deliverability tracking, lemlist gives you a much better layout of what's actually converting. If your budget allows it definitely pull the trigger.”
“I think it's because they can see your profile, your company, your content, so there's already more trust before they reply,lemlist tracks the source so you can compare this yourself once you're set up.”
“Thinking about switching to lemlist mostly for the multichannel but want to make sure leads are actually as good, not just people accepting connections out of politeness.”
“I've been looking at Lemlist as an alternative because it seems to do multichannel (email + LinkedIn) natively and has better personalization features. But the pricing is higher and I don't want to switch just because the marketing is better.”
“Honestly, just setting it up this week, and for now I kind of like it. Yes the warming up of the mails is a bit dumb and intransparent, but it could be decent.”
“I would not use this tool again for cold outreach, although the fact that it connects with LinkedIn is nice - i didn't test the LinkedIn part, but I heard that one is better.”
“Lemlist covers both channels in one place which is why I'm kinda leaning towards them but how solid are they actually right now? Haven't touched the platform in a while (probably over a year at this point) honestly not sure if there are sharper tools out there or if it makes more sense to just build something with n8n.”
“Lemlist shines when personalization is a big part of the strategy, but it can get expensive fast at scale. At the end of the day, though, list quality and deliverability usually matter more than the sending platform.”
“Lemlist is nice for custom stuff but the cost climbs fast and deliverability has been worse for volume. If you want more pipeline without adding more send volume SocListener can help find warm Reddit leads so your email lists hit better.”
“lemlist looks pretty and the personalization features are next level, but for volume sending it gets expensive fast. also their deliverability isn't as good as the other two.”
“I mainly work with SMB outreach too so I was wondering how good Lemlist’s database actually is outside bigger enterprise contacts. Still tempted to test it properly”
“You get linear A to B sequences and that is about it.Lemlist's conditional branching is what made me switch. You can set up sequences where if someone opens but does not reply you branch to a different follow up versus if they do not open at all. If someone clicks a link you can route them to a call booking step automatically.”
