La Growth Machine and Spruce share the ambition of intelligent prospecting

La Growth Machine popularized multichannel prospecting by combining LinkedIn, email, and other touchpoints. Its approach relies on many targeted campaigns to maximize touchpoints. It's an effective method that averages around a 20% reply rate.

Spruce starts from the opposite angle. It doesn't try to multiply channels. It focuses on LinkedIn and turns prospecting into a continuous flow. Before each contact, AI Scan qualifies the profile. Messages keep conversation memory. The tool enriches prospects by email and phone to re-engage absent respondents. And dedicated modules support setting and closing.

Result: no need to rebuild campaigns. Spruce adapts continuously. Personas, sequences, and the sales brief are refined over time. The reply rate reaches 33%.
