I Replaced Four Paid Sales Tools With One Open-Source Pipeline

Description and use

OpenProspect consolidates four paid sales tools into a single self‑hosted pipeline, simplifying business discovery, contact enrichment, AI‑assisted email drafting, sending, and activity tracking.

Problem

The workflow for a small outreach campaign was fragmented across multiple paid tools, making it hard to inspect, adapt, and run on personal infrastructure.

Outcome

OpenProspect replaces four paid sales tools with a single open‑source pipeline, reducing complexity and enabling full visibility into the workflow.

Workflow

• Discover relevant businesses
• Enrich records with contact details and context
• Draft personalized outreach using AI and review the copy
• Send emails through a configured email account
• Track campaign activity in the dashboard

Evidence

Finding a relevant business, identifying a contact, writing a useful email, and tracking the response all lived in separate places.

Source

OpenProspect brings that workflow into one self‑hosted project.

Source

The repository documents a sending cap of 20 emails per hour.
