In the world of LinkedIn automation, some tools are built for pure volume while others are built for precision. HeyReach has made a name for itself by allowing teams to scale outreach across multiple sender accounts easily.

While volume has its place, sophisticated teams know that blasting messages isn't a sustainable strategy. The future of outreach is about context, timing, and accurate attribution.

This is why agencies and sales teams focused on quality RevOps are choosing First Touch over high-volume scalers like HeyReach.

The Disconnect Problem HeyReach excels at sending a lot of messages, but it operates in a silo. It is disconnected from the core CRM logic that drives modern sales teams.

First Touch solves this by living natively inside HubSpot. We don't just "sync" with HubSpot; we trigger actions directly from HubSpot Workflows, Segments, and Sequences. This ensures the right message hits the right person at the exact right time based on real-time changes in the CRM, rather than a static list uploaded days ago.

Attribution: From Activity to Revenue Sales leaders need to prove their worth. HeyReach can show you how many messages were sent. First Touch can show you how much money was made.

We go beyond connection requests and replies. First Touch enables full activity logs down to the contact record. This allows you to attribute specific outcomes—like booked meetings, pipeline generated, and Closed-Won deals—directly to the LinkedIn activity. You stop reporting on "busy work" and start reporting on ROI.

Logic, CSVs, and Human-in-the-Loop HeyReach relies heavily on CSV uploads. While First Touch also fully supports CSV uploads for quick campaigns, we combine that flexibility with the power of HubSpot Segments.

But the biggest differentiator is our Human-in-the-Loop capability. HeyReach is designed to blast. First Touch is designed to facilitate sales. We allow you to automate the process while inserting a "review" step for high-value prospects. This ensures that a human eye checks the message before it sends, preventing brand damage while still maintaining the efficiency of automation.

When accuracy, safety, and revenue attribution matter more than brute-force volume, First Touch wins.
