Big News: Outplay Featured in Tekpon’s Top Sales Software List for 2025

It’s always meaningful when the work that happens quietly product decisions, customer conversations, and countless iterations gets recognized beyond our own team. Today, we’re excited to share a milestone that reflects exactly that kind of recognition: Outplay has been featured by Tekpon as a top contender in their Sales Engagement category for 2025.

In a crowded and fast-moving sales technology landscape, being featured isn’t just about visibility. It’s about trust. And recognition from an independent platform like Tekpon carries particular weight because it’s grounded in real buyer needs not marketing hype.

Why Tekpon’s recognition matters

If you’re not familiar with Tekpon, they’re a software discovery and comparison marketplace built to help teams make confident buying decisions. Their goal is straightforward but powerful: cut through noise, evaluate tools objectively, and surface products that genuinely deliver on their promises.

That mission aligns closely with how we think about building Outplay. Sales teams today are overwhelmed with options. New tools appear constantly, each claiming to be the next must-have solution. Tekpon’s role is to help buyers separate what looks impressive from what actually works.

That’s why this feature matters to us. It’s not about a flashy moment it’s about being recognized as a platform that brings real, practical value to sales teams navigating high-pressure, fast-paced environments.

A journey that started in 2022

This recognition also marks an important point in our journey.

Back in 2022, Tekpon featured Outplay as part of their sales software recommendations when we were at an earlier stage. That initial recognition gave us confidence that we were solving a real problem helping sales reps manage outreach without losing the human element.

Being featured again in 2025 tells a deeper story.

It shows that while the product has evolved, our core philosophy has remained consistent. We’ve expanded capabilities, improved performance, refined the user experience, and supported teams at greater scale but we haven’t changed what we believe sales software should do.

Sales reps don’t need more complexity. They need clarity.

Independent platforms don’t repeatedly recognize tools unless they continue to deliver value over time. This second feature reinforces that Outplay isn’t built for trends it’s built for longevity.

Why this recognition resonates with us

Building a sales engagement platform is a long game. It’s not about launching features quickly it’s about solving the right problems consistently.

We often talk internally about how sales reps don’t need more tools. They need tools that reduce stress, minimize context switching, and help them stay present in conversations. The job of selling is already complex. Software should simplify it, not add friction.

Seeing Outplay recognized again validates our focus on bringing email, phone, SMS, and social outreach into a single, cohesive workspace. When everything lives in one place, reps don’t have to juggle tabs, copy-paste context, or reconstruct conversations. They can focus on listening, responding, and building relationships.

That’s the kind of selling we believe in and it’s encouraging to see that belief reflected in how others evaluate our platform.

What stood out to Tekpon

In their review, Tekpon highlighted several aspects of Outplay that closely align with how modern sales teams work:

The human touch
Personalization at scale is difficult to get right. Tekpon noted Outplay’s ability to help reps sound human even when running structured, automated outreach so conversations feel authentic rather than scripted.

Ease of use
Sales software shouldn’t feel intimidating. From onboarding to daily use, simplicity matters. Tekpon recognized the intuitive nature of Outplay’s dashboard and workflows, which are designed to be adopted quickly without heavy training.

True multi-channel engagement
Modern selling isn’t linear. Reps move between calls, emails, and social touchpoints constantly. Tekpon highlighted how Outplay allows seamless transitions between channels without losing context—helping reps stay organized and responsive.

These aren’t just features. They’re reflections of real-world sales behavior.

Built with our users, for the long term

Recognition like this ultimately reflects the people using Outplay every day. Our customers continually challenge us to improve by asking for better workflows, faster performance, and more flexibility in how they engage prospects.

That feedback shapes how we build, prioritize, and evolve the platform. Every improvement is driven by how sales teams actually work, not how software is traditionally designed.

If you’re discovering Outplay for the first time through Tekpon’s 2025 list, welcome. We’re excited to help you simplify outreach, stay human at scale, and bring more clarity to your sales process.

And if you’ve been with us since 2022 or even earlier thank you for being part of this journey. This recognition is a shared milestone, and it motivates us to keep building with the same focus and intention moving forward.
