What is Outreach?
Outreach is an enterprise sales engagement and revenue platform that combines sequencing, conversation intelligence, deal management, and forecasting into one suite, increasingly built around AI agents that prep meetings, inspect deals, and run prospecting. It's the default choice for large sales orgs at companies like Databricks, Snowflake, and Zoom that need governance, security, and admin controls a small tool can't provide. Pricing is fully contact-sales with both seat fees and AI-credit consumption.
