The Omnichannel Intent-Based Outbound System: How Modern B2B Teams Are Generating Pipeline

  • Intent-based outbound inverts the sales process: instead of finding demographic fits and hoping for timing, it identifies active buying behavior and works backward to reveal the buyer's identity
  • The four-layer stack—Identification (RB2B), Orchestration (Make.com), Enrichment (Clay/Prospeo), and Execution (Instantly + PhantomBuster)—can be assembled for $150-$1,100/month depending on scale
  • Person-level de-anonymization is generally non-compliant with GDPR; US-based B2B companies can operate legally under CAN-SPAM, but geo-filtering EU traffic is mandatory to avoid €20M+ fines

  • Vibe coding splits into two distinct workflows: app-based for isolated tasks and terminal-based for connected workflows requiring system access
  • The trade-off between convenience and capability defines which approach works best—mobile apps offer zero-setup isolation while terminal access enables full toolchain integration
  • Task management remains an unsolved problem as sessions are ephemeral; external systems like Linear, GitHub Issues, or file-based approaches fill the gap
