# GTM Bud > GTM Bud is an AI-powered outbound platform (SaaS) for consultants, coaches, and small agencies (1-5 people). Users create campaigns through the app, and GTM Bud sources matched leads, writes a personalized message for each, and sends the outreach on semi-autopilot across the user's connected LinkedIn and email accounts. It runs on the same system that has booked 7,000+ meetings across its parent agency. ## What GTM Bud Does GTM Bud is a web application that runs outbound campaigns end to end. Users define their ideal client profile in the app, and GTM Bud finds matched leads, writes a personalized message for each one, and books meetings. Lead lists and messages are generated in 30 minutes after campaign submission. GTM Bud also sends the outreach itself, on semi-autopilot, across the user's connected LinkedIn and email accounts. The user reviews the leads and messages, hits go, and GTM Bud handles the sending, follow-ups, and reply detection. No exporting to other tools and no manual sending. ## Who It's For - Solo consultants and coaches who rely on referrals and need predictable pipeline. - Small agencies (1-5 people) who can't justify agency retainers ($5K+/month) or full-time sales ops. - Founders and operators who need outbound but lack the time or expertise to build targeting, research, and messaging from scratch. ## How It Works 1. **Define your ideal client**, Describe your business and target audience in the app. GTM Bud analyzes your profile and builds a best-fit lead list. 2. **Receive personalized messages**, Each lead gets a custom outreach message crafted from a proven agency playbook. 3. **Review, hit go, and start booking meetings**, Leads and messages are generated in 30 minutes. You review and hit go, then GTM Bud sends the outreach on semi-autopilot across your connected LinkedIn and email accounts, paced and staggered like a human, runs the follow-ups, and surfaces the leads who reply. ## Channels and Pricing Flat monthly subscription per connected account: - **LinkedIn account:** $350/month (~800 leads/month capacity) - **Email account:** $150/month (~600 emails/month capacity) No per-lead fees, no volume tiers. Add accounts as you grow. **Free trial:** 7-day free trial with full outreach at full account capacity. Trial starts when you connect your first account. No credit card required. ## How GTM Bud Differs from Alternatives - **vs. VAs:** A VA hand-sends low-quality leads and generic messages and stops the moment they log off. GTM Bud replaces that manual send: it does the agency-quality research, writes the messages, and sends on semi-autopilot without a person in the loop. - **vs. DIY tools (Apollo, Sales Navigator):** Those tools require users to figure out targeting, research, copywriting, and sending. GTM Bud handles all of it automatically. - **vs. Agencies:** Agencies charge $5K+/month for humans to run the same pipeline. GTM Bud automates it and delivers the same playbook at a fraction of the cost. ## Key Pages - [Home](https://gtmbud.com): Product overview, case studies with verified results, pricing calculator, and FAQ. - [Sign Up](https://gtmbud.com/signup): Create an account and start a campaign. - [Log In](https://gtmbud.com/login): Access existing campaigns. - [Privacy Policy](https://gtmbud.com/privacy): Data handling and privacy practices. - [Terms of Service](https://gtmbud.com/terms): Usage terms and conditions. ## About GTM Bud is built by [Referral Program Pros](https://www.referralprogrampros.com/), an outbound agency with a track record of 7,000+ booked meetings.
