We Tried a Lot of Outbound ABM Software. We Stayed With Lemlist.
Let’s start with the obvious:
Outbound ABM software is having a moment.
Everyone promises personalization at scale. Everyone claims better deliverability. Everyone says their platform “aligns sales and marketing.”
Cool.
Now show us the replies.
At Ritner Digital, outbound isn’t a buzzword—it’s a core growth channel. We run outbound and ABM programs that live or die by one thing: starting real conversations with the right accounts.
After testing a lot of tools (some impressive, some aggressively average), one keeps earning its spot in our stack:
And yes—this is basically a love letter.
Outbound ABM Without the Theater
Outbound ABM sounds great on paper:
Highly targeted accounts
Personalized messaging
Multi-touch, multi-channel sequences
Sales and marketing finally rowing in the same direction
In reality, it often turns into:
Overbuilt workflows no one wants to manage
Franken-stacks held together by Zapier
“Personalization” that stops at {{FirstName}}
We wanted outbound ABM that felt human, scalable, and fast to execute.
Lemlist quietly delivers exactly that.
Why We Keep Choosing Lemlist
We don’t believe in magic tools. Strategy still matters. Messaging still matters. Data still matters.
But when the foundation is right, Lemlist amplifies everything.
Here’s why we trust it for outbound ABM programs 👇🏼
1. Personalization People Actually Notice
Dynamic images, custom visuals, video thumbnails—Lemlist makes personalization visible in the inbox.
Not gimmicky. Not forced. Just enough to make prospects pause and think,
“Okay… this wasn’t blasted to everyone.”
Replies follow.
2. Built for Real Multi-Channel Outbound
Modern ABM isn’t email-only. Lemlist supports sequences that combine email, LinkedIn touches, and thoughtful follow-ups—without turning into a logistical nightmare.
It feels intentional. Because it is.
3. Fast to Launch, Easy to Iterate
Outbound success depends on speed:
Launch quickly
Test messaging
Iterate based on real signals
Lemlist makes it easy to adjust without breaking your entire setup—which matters when pipeline goals don’t wait.
4. Scales With Strategy (Not Just Volume)
Whether we’re running focused outbound for a growing startup or structured ABM motions for established teams, Lemlist scales without unnecessary complexity.
No bloated features.
No “enterprise tax” on usability.
Just execution.
Where Lemlist Fits in Our ABM Stack
We’re not here to crown a “one tool to rule them all.”
But Lemlist is a core outbound engine in our ABM stack—especially when the goal is starting conversations with accounts that actually matter.
It works best when paired with:
Clear ICPs
Clean, intentional data
Messaging that sounds like it came from a human (important detail)
Tools don’t replace strategy.
But the right one makes strategy easier to execute.

Outbound ABM isn’t dead.
Bad outbound ABM is.

That’s why we use Lemlist.
And that’s why teams come to Ritner Digital when outbound needs to actually perform.
