Signal-Based Plays

Outbound Play Breakdown

PLAY 01 · Spam Label Rescue Play

Signal-BasedTrigger: A target company's outbound phone numbers appear flagged as Spam, Scam Likely, or Unknown on major carrier networks, detected via number reputation monitoring or complaint volume spikes on platforms like Hiya's own Caller Reputation index or TNS data

What We Do

We target contact center and compliance leaders at high-volume outbound callers whose numbers have been mislabeled as spam, causing direct revenue loss from unanswered calls. This is a high-urgency trigger because every day of spam labeling is measurable lost revenue.

PLAY 02 · Contact Center Hiring Signal Play

Signal-BasedTrigger: A target company posts new job listings for roles such as Contact Center Manager, Outbound Dialing Specialist, Sales Development Representative, or VP of Contact Center Operations, indicating active investment in outbound calling capacity

What We Do

We intercept companies actively building or scaling outbound calling teams before they lock in their tech stack. New contact center headcount signals they are investing in phone-based outreach and are most receptive to tools that improve call answer rates.
