Cold outreach works when it is timely. Hops researches each target account and finds a real, recent reason to reach out, with an opener ready to use.
How it runs: Scheduled. An automation runs every Monday at 8am, posts the new angles and saves them to the target list Table. You can also ask Hops any time.

What it does

  • Researches the last 30 days. Hops looks for funding, hiring, leadership changes and product news for each target account.
  • Picks one angle per account. Each account gets a single reason to reach out, not a pile of facts.
  • Writes a two-line opener. The opener refers to the news so it does not read like a template.
  • Cites the source. Every angle links to the article or page, so reps can check it before sending.
  • Skips stale news. Angles you already used are not repeated.
