The tiny CRM for idea-stage outreach

Five cold emails a week, one audience and one message at a time. Pay once. Your leads never leave your computer.

Month 1of 6
First five leads
Pick one audience and one message. Send to five people.

The outreach tracker. One test a week: one message, one customer profile. Solid red is due today, outlined red is overdue, and one click marks a step sent.

01 · WHAT YOU GET

Four tools, nothing else.

Four tools, nothing else.

Four tools, nothing else.

Switchback is an intentionally small CRM to keep you focused on the four things idea-stage outreach needs.

Track leads and follow-ups

Every step in one row. Solid red is due today, outlined is overdue, dashed is planned.

Run one test every week

Each week, one audience gets one message. Five leads, five dots.

Figure out when to pivot

Every test gets a stamp and one line on what to change next.

See your outreach results

One table compares every test, best first: replies, positive replies, meetings and sales.

02 · WHO IT’S FOR

Built for several kinds of hikers

Different starting points, same question: who will actually buy this? Pick the one that sounds like you.

The business owner
Small businesses starting outbound
Starting point
You want new clients, but you have never done cold outreach before.
Where it gets stuck

Who do you write to? What do you say? When do you follow up without being annoying?

What you get
  • A minimal weekly outreach routine
  • Message templates with the recommended steps and timing
  • A home page summarizing your to-dos
Your first week
Pick one type of customer, write an email, send it to five people.

The demo opens the example workspace: three weeks of outreach for a made-up company, with replies, meetings and a verdict. Nothing to install, and nothing you do is saved.

06 · About

Built for my own outreach.

Built for my own outreach.

Built for my own outreach.

I've spent my career on B2B positioning and outreach. Switchback is the method I used to test my own ideas, and has allowed me to go from a reply rate of under 5% to reply rates of 50%+ and meeting rates of 15%+. The Switchback app is that method, which I wanted to share with more innovators.
