Direct answer

What does Provena do for agencies?

Provena is a managed outbound team for marketing, creative, web, SEO, paid media and development agencies. We find verified buyers who match the clients you already serve well, start the conversation by email and LinkedIn, answer every reply fast and get booked calls to show up with confirmations, reminders and a pre-call page. Your team keeps the pitch, the pricing and the client work.

Who the client sells to

Keep the software vendor and its buyers separate.

Most agencies grow on referrals and the founder's network. That works until it doesn't: a big client leaves, referrals go quiet and the founder is back to prospecting instead of running the business. A sound campaign picks the client types where the agency already has proof, finds the people who sign agency contracts and starts conversations that can turn into retainers rather than one-off projects.

Required signals

  • A defined service with clear past client work
  • Named client types or sectors where the agency has results it can show
  • Capacity to take on new retained clients
  • A founder or new business lead who can take sales calls

Explicit exclusions

  • Prospects that are direct competitors of the agency's existing clients, where the agency has a conflict
  • Accounts already in the agency's own pipeline or client list (suppressed before launch)
  • Claims or results the agency has not approved
  • Pure white-label or subcontracting asks with no end-client buyer
Campaign structure

Separate the market before the message is written.

Category, buyer, geography and company size stay visible in the campaign key so unlike audiences are never blended into one sequence.

Service line

Run separate campaigns for each service you sell, so an SEO offer never reads like a web build offer.

Client sector

Target the sectors where you already have proof, and keep messages specific to that sector.

Company stage and size

Separate funded startups, growing mid-market firms and larger brands, because they buy agencies differently.

Trigger events

Use signals such as new marketing hires, funding, rebrands or site launches where they point to a real need.

Default account size bands

Employee size is assigned after parent company resolution. Revenue, ownership, geography and funding remain secondary signals.

How it works

From market brief to weekly pipeline learning.

Confirm the brief

Agree the category, buyer market, geography, account rules, message boundaries and outcome that the first campaign should measure.

Research the market

Build the parent company account universe, separate operating locations where they matter and record evidence for every inclusion and exclusion.

Verify the people

Find the relevant commercial owners, verify business contact data and apply contact caps and suppression rules before launch.

Run the outreach

Launch approved cold email and LinkedIn outreach with relevant content or a focused landing page where the buying journey needs more context.

Qualify the replies

Handle responses, confirm fit and intent, book accepted conversations and return the full context to the client team.

Report the learning

Review replies, objections, meetings and account level patterns each week so the brief improves from observed evidence.

Fit

Confirm whether this motion is appropriate before launch.

Best fit

  • An agency with a clear service and work it can show
  • A founder or new business lead who wants steady new client calls, not just referrals
  • Room to take on new retained clients
  • Approved case studies or results you are happy for us to reference

Weaker fit

  • An agency with no defined offer or no past client work
  • No capacity to deliver for new clients in the next few months
  • Wanting one-off leads lists rather than booked conversations
  • A campaign that depends on claims or results you cannot back up

Use the tools to check messaging and data quality, review the implementation resources, or read the category guides that already exist.

FAQ

Agencies outbound, answered.

You're an agency too. Why wouldn't we just do this ourselves?+

You can, and some agencies do. It takes domains and inboxes set up properly, verified data, daily sending, fast reply handling and someone chasing every booked call, every week, alongside client work. Most agencies drop it the moment a big client needs attention. We run it as our only job, and you own every domain, inbox and list we build, so you can take it in-house later.

Will you run outreach for our competitors?+

We don't run outreach for direct competitors into the same buyer pool. Every conversation we start for you is yours alone.

Will outreach reach our existing clients or their competitors?+

We suppress your current clients and open pipeline before launch, and agree any conflict rules with you up front, so nothing goes to accounts you need to protect.

What do we need to provide?+

Your services, the client types you want more of, any work or results you are happy for us to reference, and someone to take the calls. Our team does the research, writing, sending and reply handling.

How fast can we start?+

Campaigns are live in 14 days. You get a dedicated Slack channel, visibility of every lead and reply, and a review every Friday on what is working.

Do you guarantee a number of meetings or clients?+

No. We don't promise numbers. We show you exactly what is being sent, who is replying and which calls are booked, every week.
