Every sales engagement platform will tell you they handle compliance. What they actually mean is they added a settings page where an admin can toggle on an unsubscribe link, and they trust that every rep on the team leaves it enabled. That is the compliance model at Outreach and Salesloft in 2026 — and it is the reason the FTC fined Verkada $2.95 million last year for doing exactly what most B2B sales teams do every day: sending mass commercial email without proper opt-out handling.

MarketBetter takes a different approach. Compliance is not a toggle. It is built into the sending pipeline itself.

The environmental health and safety (EHS) software market is projected to hit $3.4 billion by 2028, growing at over 10% annually. Regulatory pressure isn't slowing down — it's accelerating. Every new OSHA update, every EU chemical regulation, every ESG reporting requirement creates demand for compliance tools.

But here's what makes selling EHS software uniquely painful: your buyers don't wake up looking for you. They wake up worried about an audit, a workplace incident, or a regulatory deadline. By the time they actively search for software, they've already built a shortlist — and you might not be on it.

That's the EHS sales paradox. Massive TAM, urgent buyer need, but a funnel that runs cold because outbound BDR teams are spraying generic emails at safety directors who get 200 cold pitches a month.

This is the story of how one EHS compliance platform — a European-headquartered SaaS company with BDRs across EMEA — went from cold outbound chaos to signal-driven pipeline generation. No names. Just the playbook.
