Salesforge

AI SDR ("Agent Frank") for cold email and LinkedIn outbound, with its own email-sending infrastructure

About Salesforge

Salesforge is an outbound specialist. Agent Frank, its AI SDR, sources prospects, writes and sends personalized email and LinkedIn sequences, follows up and books meetings, while a family of sibling products supplies the mailboxes, domains and warm-up that cold sending at volume actually depends on. Sistava comes at the same work from the other end: an AI SDR Employee that runs outbound through the tools you already send from, alongside employees covering marketing, support and operations.

What is Salesforge?

Salesforge sells cold outbound as a complete system rather than a single app. Agent Frank is the AI SDR at the front: it researches a prospect, drafts the message, runs the sequence across email and LinkedIn, and keeps following up until there is a reply or the sequence ends. Teams can run it autonomously or keep a human in the loop on the drafts. Behind Frank sits the part most outbound tools leave to you. Mailforge and Primeforge provision mailboxes and domains, Infraforge offers private sending infrastructure, Warmforge handles warm-up and deliverability monitoring, Leadsforge supplies the contact data, and Primebox pulls the replies from every mailbox into one inbox. That stack tells you who the product is for. Agencies running outbound for many clients, and sales teams whose volume has already broken a shared inbox, are the buyers who feel the difference. If you send a few dozen emails a week, most of that machinery is capacity you are not using.

Two different bets on where outbound breaks

Salesforge bets that outbound fails at the infrastructure layer. Once volume climbs, messages land in spam, domains get burned, and no amount of good copy rescues a sequence nobody sees. Owning the mailboxes and the warm-up is a direct answer to that, and it is the reason the product looks the way it does. Sistava bets that outbound fails at the handoff. A reply comes in and nobody follows it, the CRM goes stale, the research from two weeks ago is gone, and the next campaign starts cold. So a Sistava AI SDR Employee is one persistent worker with memory, a task board and a work journal, sending through your existing tools rather than new ones. Neither bet is wrong, and they are not mutually exclusive. Teams sending at serious volume genuinely do need deliverability infrastructure. Teams whose problem is that nobody owns the whole loop need a worker, not more sending capacity.

What switching looks like

Moving from Salesforge to Sistava means your sequences come with you as instructions rather than as a template export. You describe the motion, the ICP and the tone to an AI SDR Employee, connect your inbox and CRM, and it works from there. Expect to spend the first week correcting its judgment on which accounts are worth a message. The part that does not transfer is the sending infrastructure. If you bought Salesforge because you needed dedicated domains and mailboxes, you still need them somewhere, and Sistava will send through whatever mail provider you connect rather than replacing it. The honest recommendation is to split the question. Ask whether your bottleneck this quarter is inbox placement or coverage. If it is placement, stay with the specialist. If it is that outbound is only one of five jobs nobody has time for, that is what hiring an employee is for.
