~4x volume

Proposed expansion

$148,800 / year

Billed annually - 4 business units - 200 mailboxes

Credits per month500,000
Credits per year6,000,000
Estimated leads enrolled per month~20,000
Estimated leads enrolled per year~240,000

How the estimate works

500,000 credits / 25 credits per lead = about 20,000 leads per month

V2 is contracted in credits, not leads. Credits are consumed by enrichment, signal monitoring, sending, and replies, and enrolling one lead uses about 25 credits on average. Lead volume is an estimate for comparison only, and unused credits can be directed to any of the four business units.

4x the estimated volume across four business units.

Pricing scales with volume. Adding three business units lowers the unit rate for all four.

The 2025 agreement covered email automation sold per lead enrolled. V2 is a full outbound platform sold in credits. See what's new below.

What's new in V2

The 2025 agreement covered a basic email automation tool. V2 is a different product. Four capability areas did not exist in V1 at all.

Not available in V1

New

Signals

Campaigns trigger on real buying activity such as job changes, hiring, funding, technology adoption, and custom AI signals you define, rather than sending to static lists on a schedule.

New

Autonomous replies

Ava carries conversations forward through multiple turns and books meetings without rep involvement, until exit criteria or an escalation rule is met.

New

Waterfall enrichment

Contact data resolved live across roughly 24 providers against current employer, at a flat cost per lead regardless of which provider returns the record.

New

AI dialer

Calling in the same interface as email and LinkedIn, with full campaign context, recording, and outcomes synced to CRM.

Pricing

One contract, four business units

V2 is contracted in credits rather than in leads enrolled. The credit pool is shared across Marcus's team, retail, media, and show teams, so unused capacity in one team is never wasted. Lead figures below are estimates at 25 credits per lead enrolled.

500,000 credits per month

Credits fund V2 actions such as signals, waterfall enrichment, autonomous replies, and sending, pooled across all four business units.

25 credits per lead enrolled

The working average used to translate the credit pool into an estimated 20,000 leads enrolled per month for comparison against 2025.

12-month term

Annual commitment billed annually, with pricing locked for the term.

AI dialer

Calling in the same workspace as email and LinkedIn

The dialer is included as an optional channel on the expansion. Reps work one queue instead of switching tools, and every outcome lands back in Salesforce automatically.

  • Click-to-call from any campaign with full account and sequence context on screen
  • Local presence numbers and automatic voicemail drop
  • Call recording and transcription attached to the contact record
  • Dispositions, notes, and follow-up tasks synced bidirectionally to CRM
  • Calls sequenced alongside email and LinkedIn steps in a single cadence

How it fits the expansion

Rollout

Enabled per business unit once mailboxes and CRM sync are live.

Platform access

Included in the contracted platform fee for all four business units.

Compliance

Per-region recording consent settings and configurable calling windows.

Dialer pricing

Calling is added on top of the contracted platform fee, billed annually alongside the main agreement.
