Why Outbound System

Why Are People Switching From Cleverly to Outbound System

The people who built Cleverly's outbound engine now run campaigns at Outbound System. Here's why hundreds of B2B companies are making the same switch:

Built by People Who Left Cleverly

Key members of Outbound System's team came directly from Cleverly after a change in management. They saw the gaps in campaign quality, client support, and optimization firsthand and built a system that fixes every one of them.

Consistent, Documented Results

Cleverly's results vary wildly. Some clients report 40+ meetings, while others get zero leads after months. Outbound System publishes 44+ detailed case studies with real revenue numbers and named clients.

Active Weekly Optimization

Multiple Cleverly reviews describe a set-and-forget approach after launch. Outbound System's strategists analyze data every week to sharpen messaging, tighten targeting, and cut underperformers.

No Hidden Minimums or Extras

Cleverly's $397/month LinkedIn price doesn't include Sales Navigator ($100+/month extra), and they require a 3-month minimum. Outbound System is genuinely month-to-month with transparent pricing from day one.

AI Cold Calling at Scale

Cleverly uses human cold callers, which means limited dials and rep variability. Outbound System's AI calling system makes 250 to 1,000+ dials per day with 100% script adherence and zero downtime.

Enterprise-Grade Email Infrastructure

Outbound System runs 350+ Microsoft Azure inboxes with dedicated U.S. IPs and full SPF/DKIM/DMARC authentication. Cleverly added email as an expansion after building on LinkedIn. The infrastructure gap is significant.

10,400+ Campaigns of Data

Every campaign decision at Outbound System is backed by data from 10,400+ campaigns across every major B2B vertical. This depth of performance data is what separates guesswork from precision.

Multi-Channel From Day One

Cleverly started on LinkedIn and added email and calling later. Outbound System was built as a multi-channel system from the ground up. Cold email, LinkedIn, and AI calling work as one integrated engine.

1

You Want Proven, Documented Results

Cleverly's review landscape is polarized. G2 rates them 3.8 out of 5 while Trustpilot shows 4.5 out of 5. Some clients get 40+ meetings, others get zero. Outbound System eliminates the guesswork with 44+ published case studies showing exact revenue generated, meetings booked, and ROI for every engagement. You don't have to hope you'll be the lucky client.

2

You're Tired of Passive Campaign Management

Reviews consistently describe Cleverly's approach as set-and-forget after launch. When campaigns underperform, clients report no proactive copy adjustments and minimal communication. Outbound System assigns a dedicated strategist who actively optimizes every week based on real performance data, not just vanity metrics.

3

You Need Real Pricing Transparency

Cleverly's advertised $397/month starting price only covers LinkedIn. Add the required Sales Navigator subscription ($100+/month) and their undisclosed 3-month minimum, and the real cost jumps well past $500/month for just one channel. Outbound System offers genuine month-to-month pricing that covers your entire multi-channel outbound operation. Cancel anytime with 10 business days' notice. No hidden costs.

You Want AI-Powered Outbound at Scale

Cleverly uses human cold callers, which limits volume and introduces variability between reps. Outbound System's AI cold calling system runs 250 to 1,000+ dials per day with 100% script adherence and zero downtime. Combined with cold email and LinkedIn, you get 5,000+ daily touchpoints that reach your entire TAM every 60 days.

You Value Enterprise Infrastructure

Outbound System's email infrastructure includes 350+ Microsoft Azure inboxes, dedicated U.S. IPs, private hosting, and full SPF/DKIM/DMARC authentication. This delivers 99% inbox placement at scale. Cleverly built their business on LinkedIn automation and added email as an expansion. Their email infrastructure simply doesn't have the same depth or track record at volume.

You Want a Team That Knows Cleverly Inside Out

Key members of Outbound System's team are former Cleverly operators who left after a change in management. They've seen the internal gaps, the campaign templates, the optimization blind spots, the support bottlenecks, and they built systems that specifically address each one. This isn't theoretical competitive positioning. It's insider knowledge applied to a better product.

You Want to Scale Without Switching Agencies

At that point, they're looking at $5,000+/month across Cleverly's different plans. Outbound System is built for scale from day one. Add channels, increase volume, expand to new verticals. One integrated system, one dedicated team, no growing pains.

Trusted by hundreds of clients with 150+ excellent reviews

See our client testimonials on how we are getting results in all different types of B2B industries using cold email outreach.

"Because of the processes that Outbound System has developed and put into place, we have been fortunate to have cashflow of multiple six figures per year now. It's been a real game changer type of a gain that we've been fortunate to experience."

Monil Shah

Managing Partner at Tortoise Finance

"Before Outbound System, our deliverability was broken. We weren't landing in inboxes and were losing pipeline across all 35 markets we operate in. Within two weeks of onboarding, we were seeing significantly better results. Since joining, we've generated over 95 leads and built a pipeline that keeps converting months down the road."

Andrew Luedtke

Founder & Managing Partner at AVID Media

"For our business, landing even just one new client per month made this a worthwhile investment. We were easily engaging with 10+ high-intent leads each month (which in the marketing space, is very difficult to do with ice cold leads). I would heavily recommend Outbound and their team."

Will Laub

Co-Owner at Maverick Strategies

"I enjoy working with you personally and the team I have met so far! I think a lot of the value here is the collective wisdom of the Outbound System team to advise and optimize the campaigns. That’s premium is worth is weight in gold."

Derek Merrill

CEO & Founder at Vigur

"Over a year in and we've put up 120+ qualified leads, several of which have turned into long-term association partners. The thing I appreciate most is that Brandon hasn't changed since day one, same guy, same level of care, every single month. Honestly the lowest-maintenance vendor relationship I have right now and one of the highest-ROI."

Tyler Gilham

Sales Director at Lead Marvels

"Outbound Systems' onboarding and ongoing support is great. They were truly thought partners while creating our campaign, and the user interface is sleek. We've generated around 70 meetings so far and have cut down on our time spent messaging significantly"

Ace McGill

CEO & Founder at Value Buddy

"I'm actually extremely impressed with the results so far. It's only been a month into the cold email service with Outbound System, and we've already generated 36 leads in a notoriously difficult market (targeting medical practices). Keep it coming!!"

Randy Young

CEO at Med Profit Lab

"Before Outbound System, we were only getting 3-10 inconsistent leads per month through networking and referrals. In just one month with Outbound System, we've generated about 20 interested responses, booked 15 meetings, and closed 2 new clients. As I always say, doing LinkedIn outreach by yourself is only valuable if your time has no value!"

Clifton Jackson

CEO at FireVibe Web Design

"10 qualified conversations in 6 weeks, targeting is dialed in and we're refining our sales process and offer based on our learnings from Outbound System. So far so good!"

Michael Jaskulsky

Director of Business Development at UnDigital

"Outbound System has been great! I'd highly recommend their LinkedIn lead gen service. We ran 3 profiles with them, and we consistently generated at least 20 positive responses every single month in our local market. So very happy with the team. Great job guys!"

Melanie Shores

Director of Marketing at Modern Mingle

"The results that I got in the first month were WAY higher than the expectation set on the original sales call. I got 64 leads in less than 30 days. I had to pause the system for a while to work the pipeline. Brandon and the rest of the team at Outbound System really have something special here, and I'm speechless..."

Michael Larkin

Founder & President at SC Media Partners

"Cold email with Outbound System has been great so far. We've been getting about 12 qualified leads every month since we started and the unit economics work out, which is all I really need."

"After getting burned by our previous lead gen provider, Outbound System actually delivered results. Their personalized approach worked when nothing else did. Worth every penny and would recommend to anyone tired of empty promises!"

Katherine Salazar

Business Development Manager at Echo Marketing
