Boulton, your business development agent.

It finds your market, tells you who to call first, writes to each person and handles the back and forth until there's a meeting on your calendar. You ask for what you need, in plain words.

01 · Find

Your whole market, built for you.

Describe the companies you want the way you'd brief a colleague. Boulton searches, reads each company's website and keeps only the ones that fit.

  • Up to 50,000 companies, built up front at no charge
  • The right people at each: the owner, the CEO, or whoever you name, with a verified email
  • The reason each company fits, beside it
Close up

You approve before it runs.

Before a Find starts, Boulton shows what it understood, how many companies it will look for and what it costs. Companies that match are free.

Checked one by one

Boulton reads each company's website and keeps the ones that fit your description.

Honest about gaps

When companies match but their size isn't known, it tells you how many, instead of guessing.

The right people

Name the roles you want, like owner, CEO or head of sales. Each person comes with a verified email.

Segments and lists

Group your market however you work, and run a campaign on any part of it.

02 · Score

Know who to call first.

Every company gets two scores, with the reason beside each. Fit: how closely it matches the clients you want. Timing: the signs it's ready to talk now.

  • Timing signals like a new hire, a new line or a move
  • Each signal dated, with where it came from
  • The ready ones first, so the week starts with the right calls
Fit, checked

Each company is checked against what you asked for: size, location, industry and what they do.

Timing, dated

Signals like a new hire, a new line or a move, each with its date and where it came from.

Misfits shown, not hidden

Companies outside your criteria are marked as such, so you can see why.

One card per company

Its score, its people and everything that has happened with them, in one place.

03 · Write

Messages written for each person.

Two ways to write, both from what Boulton finds. Use one, or both in the same campaign. Nothing sends until you start it.

  • In your voice, around your offer
  • Follow-ups written when they come due, seeing everything sent so far
  • Change any message before it goes

One to one

For the people who matter most. Boulton reads their profile, their company's site, recent news and job posts, and writes the whole message around what it finds.

Tailored at scale

For reaching a whole market by email. Boulton writes your message in a few versions, then fills in the parts that change for each person: what they've been up to, what they make, who they sell to.

Email · 0.1 credit an email
A few ways to say it

Write a message in different versions. Each person gets one of them.

Checked before it sends

Each draft is checked against what Boulton actually found, so it doesn't invent facts.

Kept short

Every email has a target length, and the count is in front of you as it's written.

Follow-ups in the same thread

Written when they come due, seeing everything sent so far. They stop when someone replies.

04 · Reply

The back and forth, handled.

Boulton sorts every reply, drafts the answer with times to meet, and books the meeting onto your calendar. You choose which kinds of reply it sends on its own.

  • Each reply sorted: interested, a question, not now, and more
  • A draft ready for every reply worth answering
  • For each kind of reply: ignore it, draft it for you, or send it
Close up

It sends on its own, and you can still stop it.

For the kinds of reply you choose, Boulton sends its answer after a short countdown. Send it now, change it, or cancel.

Times to meet, in one click

Offer times from your calendar right in the reply.

A question for you

When someone asks something Boulton can't answer, it asks you instead of guessing.

Every reply sorted

Interested, a question, not now, not interested: each gets the handling you chose.

05 · Connect

Fits the way you already work.

LinkedIn

Your team's own profiles, at a safe daily pace.

Calendar

Meetings land on your calendar.

CRM

New conversations go to your CRM.

Slack

Hear about replies where your team already talks.

Nothing sends until you say

Start a campaign when you're ready, after you've read what Boulton wrote.

Change any message

Edit a word or the whole thing before it goes.

You set what goes on its own

Choose, reply by reply type, what Boulton sends without you.

Questions.

What do I need to connect?

LinkedIn, your calendar, Slack and your CRM.

Will it sound like me?

Each message is written from what Boulton finds about that person, in your voice and with your offer.

What's a credit?

One person found, with their email included. Anything found about them later, like an email or a LinkedIn profile, is free. Writing uses credits too: 0.1 for each email, 1 for each one-to-one message.

What happens when someone says yes?

Boulton replies with times to meet and books the meeting onto your calendar.
