How switching works
From Instantly to the growth desk in four steps
- Map the job. Name what Instantly owns today — cold email at scale — and what sits beside it in your stack.
- Move the lead record first. Hunt and enrich your ICP in Desk so every channel pursues the same accounts, not exported CSVs.
- Rebuild the motion under approval. Recreate sequences, SMS follow-up, and review asks in Growth; approve before anything sends.
- Cancel the overlap, keep the specialist. Retire Instantly only where MarketPounce genuinely covers the job — keep it where the honest gap above says we do not.
