An outreach system that starts before the message
Authbound is the GTM agency founded by Alex Baldovin. It helps B2B companies build cold-outreach systems, covering the technical setup, deliverability, offer positioning and personal branding behind a campaign.
For Alex, publishing content and contacting prospects belong in the same process. Content gives a prospect a reason to pay attention; engagement builds familiarity before an email arrives. In October, he described running the same outbound system for five clients and his own company.
Alex needs to stay active around prospects without the long comment scrolls he describes. Extrovert prepares the comments so he can review them as part of a daily routine.
Ten minutes a day to review comments
Alex includes engagement in his content routine alongside planning and production. Extrovert drafts comments on posts by peers and prospects, using his voice, tone and point of view. He reviews and approves the comments in ten minutes a day.
→ Extrovert drafts comments on peers and prospects → It writes in my voice, tone, and POV → I review and approve in 10 min a day
This gives engagement its own place in the routine. Alex can contribute to the conversations his prospects are having without spending his time searching the feed and writing every comment from scratch.
Connect the comment to the next outreach step
In Alex's content-to-pipeline workflow, Extrovert handles daily engagement with his ideal customers' posts. Trigify tracks buying signals, and Clay brings the data together and scores prospects. Warm emails then go to engaged prospects.
He also gives Extrovert a specific place in his outbound operation: comments come before the email. LinkedIn connection requests and DMs run through HeyReach. When an email gets no reply, n8n moves the lead to LinkedIn, keeping one sender responsible for the contact.
Replies arrive in Slack, where a person answers. Extrovert supplies the prospect engagement; the surrounding tools handle scoring, channel routing and outreach.
Engagement that leads to conversations
Alex reported that the full content-to-pipeline strategy generated 200+ qualified leads in Q4 2025. He described running it across multiple clients, with Extrovert providing daily prospect engagement alongside content creation, buying-signal tracking and lead scoring.
This is the exact content-to-pipeline strategy I'm using in 2026.
It generated 200+ qualified leads in Q4 2025, so I'm doubling down:
In his content routine, he also reports engagement turning into DMs:
3-5 posts a week. Engagement that turns into DMs.
