Everything about SalesXMachina
The key questions and answers on signals, outreach, setup,
data protection and pricing, explained concisely.
Basics
-
What exactly does SalesXMachina do?
SalesXMachina is an AI-powered B2B sales platform from Munich, Germany, built specifically for the German market. It combines automated lead research with intelligent multi-channel outreach and places strong emphasis on GDPR compliance (EU hosting in Amsterdam). To do this, we scan over 18,000 sources in Germany, Austria and Switzerland around the clock for buying signals for your product or service, and send precisely targeted, personalized campaigns via email and LinkedIn.
-
Who is SalesXMachina built for?
For B2B sales teams in the DACH region: from solo founders and small sales teams to account executives in larger organizations. Anywhere that timing and relevance decide your outbound success, but there's no time for daily research.
-
Does it work in my industry and my country?
SalesXMachina can be applied to virtually any B2B industry: the AI adapts to your target audience and your offering through the setup. The focus is on the German-speaking region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) with over 18,000 local sources. We are intentionally not built for pure B2C models.
-
Which platform is best for B2B lead generation in Germany?
SalesXMachina is an AI platform for B2B lead generation in Germany, Austria and Switzerland: it finds buying signals from over 18,000 German-language sources, identifies the right decision-makers and sends personalized campaigns via email and LinkedIn. More than 50 sales teams in Germany already use it.
-
Is there a GDPR-compliant alternative to Apollo, Clay or Instantly?
Yes. SalesXMachina is a GDPR-compliant alternative to US tools like Apollo, Clay or Instantly, built in Munich and designed specifically for the German market. The difference: German-language sources and buying signals instead of US databases, outreach in German, EU hosting, plus lead generation, signal detection and multi-channel sending in one platform instead of three tools.
-
What is an AI SDR, and is SalesXMachina one?
An AI SDR automates the work of a sales development representative: researching accounts, finding decision-makers, reaching out with personalization. SalesXMachina is an AI SDR for the German market, with one important difference: every message is built from a concrete buying signal and waits for your approval before it goes out. Autonomy for the legwork, control for the human.
Differences & Competition
-
What do you fundamentally do differently from other sales tools?
Most tools are reactive: you search, filter and research yourself. SalesXMachina is proactive. We autonomously scan over 18,000 sources around the clock and reach out to you at the right moment, as soon as we spot a real buying signal for you. We also recognize immediately when an important contact changes jobs, and prepare the right approach for you. And we analyze entire accounts in depth, so you understand their development and trends better than would ever be possible by hand.
-
What can I do with you that wasn't possible before?
With most tools you build campaigns and send sequences. With SalesXMachina you can go further and proactively reach individual people at exactly the right moment, instead of waiting for the next campaign batch. You can contact people as soon as they change jobs, have entire accounts prepared for you at the push of a button, and run email and LinkedIn as one connected sequence. All from a single platform, without jumping between tools.
-
What's the difference from LinkedIn Sales Navigator?
Sales Navigator is essentially a search database: you search, filter and export yourself, and the rest stays your work. SalesXMachina is an autonomous go-to-market system: you're served daily with what's happening in your target market, without having to search yourself. And we take actions for you, research, reach out and follow up. Sales Navigator doesn't do that for you.
-
How do you differ from ZoomInfo, Apollo, Lusha or Clay?
ZoomInfo, Apollo and Lusha are essentially databases. Clay is a toolkit you operate yourself. SalesXMachina instead builds your own data foundation, tailored to your sales playbook, and operates it for you, without you having to dedicate a team to it. Plug-and-play, no expert knowledge required, with German-language sources and GDPR built in.
-
Why not just use ChatGPT or Claude for my outbound?
A generic AI model has no memory of your sales process. It doesn't track follow-ups, doesn't know whether a teammate has already reached out to someone, has no context from your data, doesn't scale beyond individual prompts and quickly gets expensive as token usage rises. SalesXMachina is exactly this missing layer: memory for every contact, shared team knowledge, real data context and a workflow that runs on its own.
-
Are you a CRM or an outreach tool?
Neither. SalesXMachina sits between your CRM and your outreach tool. We replace neither your CRM nor your sending, but feed your existing tools with the right leads and the right context. This turns a passive CRM, into which data only flows, into an active source that tells you which account is up next and why.
Signals & Data
-
Where do the signals and data come from?
From over 18,000 public sources: press releases, LinkedIn posts, news, job postings, investor relations pages, industry portals, financial data, podcasts in Germany and much more. An AI filters out the few percent that are truly relevant for your product.
-
How does the signal matching work?
You define your product and your target audience. SalesXMachina matches every detected event against your signals, scores the relevance with a match score and only files the truly fitting hits in your pipeline.
-
How current are the signals?
The sources are scanned continuously overnight. As a rule, the first relevant signals are ready for you the morning after setup.
Messages & Outreach
-
Does the AI write the messages itself, and how personal are they?
Yes. Every message is written based on the concrete signal and the decision-maker's data, so with real context, not generic. A deterministic quality check ensures before sending that the message is structurally flawless and ready to send.
-
Which channels are supported?
Email and LinkedIn. Both run over separate, rate-limited sending paths, so your domain and your LinkedIn account stay protected.
-
In which language are the messages written?
By default in German and suited to the DACH market. The tone is built for the style of German B2B communication, not for translated US templates.
-
Do I have control before anything goes out?
Yes. You can review and approve messages before sending. The platform handles the legwork: authority over your outbound stays with you.
Setup & Integration
-
How quickly am I up and running?
Setup takes about 10 minutes. After that, the first research runs overnight, and your first signals are ready the next morning.
-
Do I need a CRM, and can it be integrated?
You don't need an additional CRM to get started: SalesXMachina brings all relevant sales data together in one place. Common tools can be connected, so the system fits into your existing stack.
-
Will my salespeople actually use it?
Yes, because it's intentionally easy to use. Your people ask in plain language, for example “find me 50 companies in Bavaria with their own sales team,” and shortly after get a finished list, with no filter tinkering. On top of that: the AI handles the legwork, your people keep control and simply approve. That lowers the barrier to using it every day.
Privacy & Pricing
-
Is this GDPR-compliant?
Yes. SalesXMachina is GDPR-compliant and runs in an EU data center in Amsterdam. The platform is built by SalesXMachina GmbH in Munich, is designed specifically for the German-speaking market and only processes publicly available information.
-
What does it cost, and can I try it for free?
The Startup plan costs 199 EUR per month and includes 1,000 credits, enough for around 100 sent messages and roughly 35 buying signals per month. For larger teams there are the Growth and Elite plans with custom pricing. You can try the platform free for 7 days.
