DataStax transforms outbound sales with Amplemarket's Duo Copilot, generating $205K+ ARR in 8 months

The problem

DataStax's outbound sales team was stuck on a fragmented stack of ZoomInfo, Salesloft, and Lusha, forcing reps to manually jump between tools, import data, and repeatedly tweak messaging with no systematic approach.

First attempt

DataStax's previous AI SDR tool, 11x.ai, failed to deliver the expected qualified opportunities and operated as a black box with no visibility or control, forcing the team into weekly calls to adjust messaging with little improvement.
