Why B2B SaaS Teams Are Switching to Valley


1. Signal-Based Orchestration

  • Outreach isn’t triggered until the right signal fires (funding, job change, pricing page hit).

  • Messages change dynamically based on signal type.

2. AI Messaging That Actually Reads Human

  • Clones SDR tone

  • Adjusts voice by persona (e.g. founders vs heads of sales)

  • Avoids the “uncanny valley” effect that kills conversion

3. Built-in Deliverability and Compliance

  • Rotates IPs + monitors spam scores in real-time

  • Auto-redacts sensitive data for GDPR/CCPA

  • Syncs opt-outs across LinkedIn, email, and SMS
