To Full Scale
Where You Are

Your Apollo deployment is fully activated. All 30 seats are filled, every core feature is live, and the team is running active sequences and workflows. The Outbound Qualified workflow built for your demand gen team is in testing. That's a strong foundation — it took work to get here and it shows in the usage numbers.

This playbook is about what comes next. You've built the engine. This is about tuning it for the specific segments your AI Services Squads are going after — and scaling from 50 emails/day to 200.

Where the Opportunity Is

Activation is strong across all 8 core features. The upside is in depth and scale — systematizing what's already working (AI Research, workflows) across the full team, getting every rep using Finder View for prospecting, and building the segment-specific infrastructure your four AI Services Squads need to run distinct outbound motions.

Three highest-leverage activations: Finder View adoption across all SDRs, AI-qualified outbound deployed to the full team, and segment-specific sequences for each squad vertical.

Five plays, sequenced by priority. The first two are foundation plays — get these live before building the segment-specific infrastructure. The last three scale the motion once the engine is running.

01
Healthcare ICP Targeting Engine
Segment-specific Finder View saved searches for each AI Services Squad vertical
Week 1 Finder View
Why This First

Your AI Services Model reorg created four distinct squads — specialty, FQHC, health system, federal. Each squad is going after a different buyer. Right now, reps are building lists manually or reusing generic searches. Segment-specific saved searches give every rep in every squad a clean, repeatable prospecting starting point the moment they open Finder View.

Implementation Steps
1
Build Specialty Care — DM Outreach saved search: Medical Practice / Physician Groups, 10–500 employees, titles (Practice Mgr, Director Ops, CMO), technologies (Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks)
2
Build FQHCs — Decision Makers search: Hospital & Health Care + Nonprofit, keywords (federally qualified, FQHC, 330 grant, community health), technologies (eClinicalWorks, OCHIN)
3
Build Health Systems — Decision Makers search: 500+ employees, VP Patient Experience / CMIO / VP Revenue Cycle, technologies (Epic, Cerner, MEDITECH)
4
Build Federal Health — Decision Makers search: keywords (VA, Veterans Affairs, DoD, Indian Health Service, IHS), Director+ seniority
5
Share each saved search with the relevant squad. Run 45-min Finder View training with SDRs and managers — record for async access.

AI-Qualified Outbound at Scale
Scale the Outbound Qualified workflow from 1 rep to all 12 SDRs
Week 2–3 AI Research Workflows
The Insight

Gil built a working AI pre-qualification workflow that automatically routes contacts based on ICP fit — saving hours of manual work every week. That workflow exists for one rep right now. Deploying it to all 12 SDRs, with segment-specific prompts tuned to each squad's buyer, is a force multiplier that doesn't require any new features — just replication.

How It Works
1
Configure AI Research Power Up with qualification prompt per segment (Specialty, FQHC, Health System, Federal). Each prompt asks: is this person currently in a relevant decision-making role? Respond: Yes / No / Unknown
2
Replicate the Outbound Qualified workflow for each SDR: Yes → continue sequence + add to email sequence. No → remove from sequences + Do Not Contact (60 days). Unknown → route to 3-touch validation sequence.
3
Run a 30-min onboarding session per SDR squad. Have each rep run one batch of 20 contacts through the workflow to confirm it's working before going live at scale.

03
Job Change Reactivation
Warm outreach to champions who moved to new organizations
Week 3–4 Job Change Alerts
The Opportunity

Artera has 1,000+ provider customers. Every time a champion at one of those accounts moves to a new organization, that's a warm introduction to a net-new logo — and they already know exactly what Artera does. Job Change Alerts surface these signals automatically. This is one of the highest-leverage, lowest-friction plays in the playbook.

Implementation Steps
1
Configure Job Change Alerts against your full prior contact list (export from CRM — all prior customer and prospect contacts from the past 24 months)
2
Build the 3-touch Reactivation sequence (7-day cadence). Email 1: congrats + warm reference to prior org. Email 2: relevant proof point for their new segment. Email 3: low-pressure close.
3
Set AE review gate: before any reactivation email fires, the assigned AE reviews and approves the contact to prevent outreach to sensitive accounts.

AI Services Squad Prospecting Motions

Why This Matters Now

The AI Services Model reorg is brand new. Each squad is going after a distinct buyer with different pain points, proof points, and buying timelines. One generic sequence won't work across all four. Getting segment-specific sequences live before the squads fully ramp gives each team a professional outbound engine from day one — and ensures the right proof point lands with the right buyer.

Four Sequences to Build
Specialty Care
5-touch, 12 days · Practice Mgr / CMO · Hook: no-show reduction + scheduling automation · Proof: United Health Centers $3M revenue
FQHCs

Expansion Intelligence
Identify upsell contacts inside your existing 1,000+ provider customer base
Week 5–8 AI Research CRM Integration
The Logic

You have 1,000+ provider customers. Most of those accounts have multiple departments, locations, or service lines that aren't yet on the full Artera platform. Identifying the contacts at those organizations who influence patient communications or care coordination in a different department from your primary contact is net-new revenue with near-zero acquisition cost. Apollo makes this systematic.

Implementation Steps
1
Export all current customer organization domains from your CRM. Run a domain-level contact search in Apollo. Filter: Director+, departments = Operations / IT / Administration / Clinical. Save as Customer Base — Expansion Contacts
2
Configure AI Research prompt for expansion qualification: "Does this person's role suggest they influence patient communications in a different department or service line from our primary contact? Respond: Expansion Opportunity / Same Line / Unknown."
3
Route qualified expansion contacts to a 3-touch sequence. Frame as a warm introduction from the existing champion: "I work with [Primary Contact] on the Artera side and wanted to introduce myself..."

Specialty Care — 5-Touch, 12 Days
Persona: Practice Manager, Director of Operations, CMO · Hook: No-show reduction + scheduling automation
Email 1 — Day 1
Subject: Patient scheduling and care coordination at {{company}}
Hi {{first_name}},

Reached out because we work with a number of {{industry}} practices on the same challenge — patients falling through the cracks between scheduling, intake, and follow-up communications.

Artera's platform handles that gap: AI agents managing scheduling reminders, care gap outreach, and intake coordination without adding to your staff's workload. United Health Centers saw a 77% appointment generation rate after deployment.

Prioritized Action List
THIS WEEK
Domain/mailbox infrastructure: Confirm daily email volume target with your SDR manager, then initiate the domain purchase. The ~2-month timeline to 200 emails/day starts the day domains are purchased — the sooner this moves, the sooner the team has full send capacity ahead of Q3.
THIS WEEK
Onboarding milestones: Set measurable onboarding goals for each user persona — SDR, AE, and Manager. This gives every rep a clear success path and makes it easy to identify where additional support is needed before it becomes a problem.
NEXT 2 WKS
Finder View training: Run a 45-minute live session with SDRs and managers on Finder View and the squad-specific saved searches. Record it for async access. Fastest way to get the full team prospecting at the same level as your top performers.
NEXT 2 WKS
AI-qualified outbound to full team: The Outbound Qualified workflow is ready to deploy to all 12 SDRs with segment-specific AI Research prompts. This systematizes pre-qualification across the full team — no more manual contact-by-contact review.
THIS MONTH
Segment sequences + expansion scope: Get all four squad sequences live (Specialty Care, FQHC, Health System, Federal). Then align with your leadership team on expansion scope — the AI Services Model reorg creates natural demand for additional seat coverage per squad.
