Founder

U-Topia Ecosystem

It started with one meeting. In 2021, I'm 20 years old and I meet Emmanuel Quezada, CEO of U-topia Ecosystem. He shared a bold vision: creating a groundbreaking Web3 ecosystem. Days later, I joined as the sole US-based team member.

My title? Director of Partnerships.
My mission? Own the US market.

Over 14 months, here’s what I accomplished:

- Built connections with 20+ teams, linking U-topia to other metaverses.
- Led meetings with companies like Binance.
- Partnered with NFT communities to create interconnection bridges.
- Engaged VCs to showcase U-topia’s vision and future.
- Spoke at global events, sharing the stage with CEOs of $100M+ companies.
- Traveled to Dubai to meet the team face-to-face and strengthen collaboration.
- These moments weren’t just professional wins—they were personal milestones.

I grew relationships that turned into lifelong friendships. I learned the art of trust, connection, and creating real value in a fast-moving industry.

But as CURAT—D, my content agency, began to demand my full focus, I faced a tough decision. I chose to step away from U-topia to fully dedicate myself to my next chapter.

Today, I’m proud of the foundation we built together.
U-topia is now working with global giants like Adidas, FIFA, and Walmart, building cutting-edge IP products and redefining the Web3 space.

I’ll always root for their success and the bright future ahead.

Director of Partnerships | Partner

MONACAIR

In 2021, I was 19 years old and joined Monacair, Monaco’s premier private helicopter service, as a Business Development Intern.

My mission was to assist in expanding Monacair’s reach.

Over two months, here’s what I accomplished:

- Assisted in refining Monacair’s B2B partnership strategy.
- Conducted market research to identify high-value clientele and potential partners.
- Supported the sales team in optimizing customer acquisition efforts.
- Helped improve internal processes by analyzing client data and operational workflows.
- Gained firsthand experience in the ultra-luxury aviation space, working alongside a high-performance team.

I learned lessons in high-stakes client relations, precision-driven service, and the power of seamless logistics.

It was fast-paced, high-energy, and filled with invaluable insights.

But as my passion for branding and business growth evolved, I knew my next challenge awaited.

Still, I’ll always appreciate the experience and the foundation Monacair gave me in navigating elite service industries.

Building digital legacies for Founders & CEOs | Founder of CURAT-D

I’m Aurelien, and I help b2b founders turn their personal brands into a revenue-generating machine.

My journey started 7 years ago when, at 15, I launched my first company, STRADA PARIS. I had no experience, but I had a vision. 

Fast forward a few years—while I was still a student in Boston—I made my very first LinkedIn post, and everything changed.

What started as a leap of faith turned into a business that helps founders build their personal brands, drive growth, and generate serious revenue.

In 2022, CURAT—D was born. 

Since then, we’ve partnered with 7-figure founders, signed high-profile clients (including one of Hollywood’s biggest names), and helped our clients close a $4M deal—all by using LinkedIn organic content.

Aurelien Scagnolari

I'm turning 24 this month. Two years ago, I graduated college and went all in on building CURAT—D. Here's everything that happened in the last 912 days:

Studied in Boston, majored in Entrepreneurship. Always wanted to build companies (first one was at 14)

In college, I went to every conference I could. Met people online. Published everything I was learning on LinkedIn. At the time, blockchain was booming. I posted a ton about it.

Joined a company as Director of Partnerships. I was tasked to expand their US presence. Through that role, I got invited to speak at a Summit in Silicon Valley (people were paying $5,000 to attend). Got invited to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. I was 20. It was surreal.

I had about 4,000 followers. 

CEOs started reaching out asking how I was doing it. They wanted tips. This was before "LinkedIn gurus" were a thing, so my help actually mattered.

I helped them for free at first. Creating posts. Getting attention. They'd sign deals. I thought: okay, there's something here.

Then I started getting paid. Freelance gigs. Pay-per-project stuff.

And I realized: if you have customers, you have a business.

My girlfriend (still my girlfriend today) helped me with the branding, the mission statement, all of it. I took four weeks in the mountains to focus on building. Then I launched.

A few weeks later: first clients.

Then I did a world tour. Seoul, Dubai, Singapore, Tokyo, SF. Meeting leaders, clients, learning everything I could.

In 2023, I lost 80% of my revenue in four weeks.

I was doing everything myself. Posting dozens of client posts every week. Not delegating.

People started telling me the business was going to fail. That I wouldn't make it.

I didn't know what to do. So I restructured. 

And then I had the best month ever.

Where are we now?

New website soon. 

Amazing partners I'm meeting in person as much as possible.

People trust me for the work we do. For the skills of my team.

But I know what got me here won't get me to the next level.

My LinkedIn presence still books me a ton of calls every week. That's the foundation.

But now it's about scaling beyond just me.

The mission is to make CURAT—D the best personal branding partner ever created.

White-glove service for founders making $1M to $30M a year.

Build personal brands that get them leads, visibility, trust, authority, all of it.

I'm healthy. I've got an incredible team.

Now we keep pushing. We keep building.

Here's to 24.

Founder at CURAT—D | We partner with service & tech founders to build authority that compounds into clients, capital, and opportunities

I'm hiring our first full-time Content Strategist at CURAT—D.

If you want to work with founders who've exited for 8/9 figures, Hollywood talent, global leaders, and CEOs building legendary companies, this is it.

You'll be paid to extract stories, shape ideas, and turn them into content that drives results.

And if things go well you'll grow into Head of Content next year and own the entire department.

If you're in apply, or tag someone who should :)

Thank you Antler.

8 weeks ago, I'm thinking about a problem. 
My clients keep asking: "Can we do video content?" Sure. But then:

"What's the script?"
"What lighting?"
"Which camera? Should I use my phone?"
"Who edits it?"

It becomes this whole thing. So they don't do it.

But video is how leaders are communicating now. Fortune 500 CEOs speaking directly to stakeholders. 

Video forces you to be real. You're either authentic or you're not. There's no hiding behind polished copy.

That's the power of it.

Then came the idea…

What if I made it stupid simple for founders to shoot video?

Show up. Sit down. Answer questions. We handle everything else.

That's when The Booth idea hit me.

I called Ted Merz, CFA. He spent 3 decades at Bloomberg. Incredible person. Perfect partner for this.

"Let's do it."

Two weeks later, we had a spot at Antler to test it.

We set up the booth on a Saturday. Had to be ready by Monday.

Ted looks at it: "This isn't soundproof."

He's right. It's in a co-working space. If someone's recording, no one can work.

Panic mode. Went to Amazon. Bought the best soundproof panels I could find. Installed them overnight.

The results:

30 founders interviewed. 15 minutes each. 7.5 hours of footage.

We asked everyone: "How was your Antler experience?"

Every single person said the same thing. Life-changing. Amazing community. Incredible tools.

4,000 applicants. 150 accepted. Only 8-10 get funded. Everyone's dialed in from morning to night for six weeks.

The emotions were real. It was the end of their cohort, the last week.

We compiled all the answers into one video showing gratitude to Antler and what the experience really means to founders.

Thank you, Antler and the whole NY team, Kaila Jeff McKenzie Malcolm-Wiley Sam Allie Wouter.

Ps: If you want the booth in your space, send us a DM :)

There was a moment I decided I wasn't going to live a normal life.

I was 16.

My dad used to travel to the US for work. He'd come back and tell me: "That place is full of opportunities. Full of ambitious people. If you want to be successful, discover the world, meet interesting people, that's where you need to go."

I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life yet. But I asked my parents if I could spend a year abroad in the US. 

They said yes.

I spent a year in Denver, Colorado with a host family I still consider my second family.

That's where I discovered entrepreneurship.

Books. Business conferences. People like Gary V and Tai Lopez (yes I know…) telling the young generation: "You can write your own story. You don't have to follow the traditional path."

I read everything I could. Started thinking about building businesses.

And I came back to France thinking: this is what I want to do.

I wanted freedom. Agency over my own agenda. The ability to travel whenever I wanted. To be my own boss, not over other people, but over my own life.

So I finished high school in France. Started a clothing brand with my best friend. Learned a ton.

Then went back to the US for university. Joined a company as Director of Partnerships at 19. Built my personal brand on LinkedIn. Content was crushing it.

People started asking: "How are you generating this content while working and being a student?"

I started helping them.

That's how I got into this world.

But here's the thing, I've never struggled with anything in my life. 

My trauma isn't from high school or some personal hardship.

My trauma is from seeing people who couldn't afford things.

My dad also used to go to Africa when I was a kid. Every time I didn't finish my plate, he'd say: "I'm going to take you there and you'll see if you ever leave food on your plate again."

His message: You're privileged to have food. Finish it. Because there are people who would die for the scraps you're leaving behind.

I've seen both ends. People who had everything and were unhappy. People who had nothing and it was tough.

That's why I wanted my reality to be different.

I saw what was possible and what wasn't, and I wanted to be on the side where I had control.

I've been building toward this ever since.

If you're a Head of Marketing or Head of Comms at a company right now and you're NOT convincing your CEO to create video content in 2026, you're missing the biggest shift in founder-led communication we've seen in years.

Here's what's changing:

Leaders are speaking directly to their stakeholders.

No PR or corporate comms team polishing the message. Just raw, honest communication through their own channels.

And it's working.

Look at the examples:

Guillaume Moubeche from lemlist (company valued at +$150M) is crushing it with video content, speaking directly to customers.

Jon Gray from Blackstone does polished earnings calls in a suit, then sits at his desk and breaks down the three takeaways like a YouTuber. 

Jensen Huang does the same thing with his keynotes.

And don’t make me say what i didn’t say…this isn't about "being on social media." It's way deeper than that.

It's about trust, authority, and visibility. And it's a positive-sum game for your business.

Now why video?

Because the future of communication is more honest, more transparent, more raw. And video is the medium that makes that possible.

You can't fake authenticity in a 2-minute video the way you can in a polished press release.

Your stakeholders, (customers, investors, employees, partners,) want to hear from YOU. Not through a third party, or a filtered through a medium. 

Directly from the source!

The pushback I hear:

"My CEO doesn't want to be on social media."
"They're camera shy."
"They don't have time."
"They don't know what to talk about."

I get it. But there's SO MUCH to talk about.

What brought you to where you are today? What challenges did you face building the company? What details about your industry do people not understand? What decisions are you making right now that matter?

Finding which stories to tell (and how to tell them without sounding like everyone else) is the hard part. That's where we come in.

What we do:

We help you figure out which story to tell the world about you. Not making you look like someone you're not. Just finding who you are as a person, what matters to you, and packaging that in a way that resonates.

We build deep relationships with every partner (client, whatever you want to call it). We get to know you. We pull the stories out. We help you communicate them in your voice.

And with AI becoming more prevalent, choosing the right words, the human words, matters more than ever.

The bottom line: 

If you're in marketing or comms, your #1 job in 2026 should be getting your CEO to take the mic.

Video content from founders drives trust, authority, and visibility. It's not optional anymore. It's table stakes.

And if you need help figuring out what to say or how to say it, that's exactly what we do at CURAT—D.

Let's talk.

I haven't taken a day off in two years. Not a single one. For +900 days, I've worked for a few hours minimum. Usually more.

If I get in a car accident tomorrow, no one will take care of the business. I’ll even lose a few clients.

If something happens to my family, I still have to show up.

Entrepreneurship is way too glorified online.

"Be your own boss." "Work from anywhere." "Make millions."

But let me glorify it for you:

Some Saturdays I'm working at 11 PM. Some nights I'm sending emails at 2 AM. Some mornings I wake up stressed about what happened overnight with my US clients while I was asleep in Europe, some I won't sleep at all

There's always something that can go wrong. Deliverables. Client expectations. Cash flow.

It's not glamorous, yet I personally wouldn't do anything else.

Yes, it's hard. Yes, I work every single day. Yes, there are no sick days or vacations.

But I get to build something from nothing. I get to work with incredible people. I get to learn by doing.

And I'm grateful for it every single day.

Just don't let LinkedIn fool you into thinking it's easy.

Re-introducing CURAT—D.

We're a personal branding partner for founders and CEOs.

what we do:

We extract stories (the real ones, not the LinkedIn versions). We dig into your entire life, your company, how you actually operate, how you hire, what happens behind the scenes. Who you are as a person.

Then we amplify those stories at scale.

Two engines: video content and written content. Mostly using LinkedIn as the vehicle to get your voice out there in a way that actually sounds like you.

We work with founders for 6 to 12 months. Sometimes longer.

founders we work with are doing $5M to $20M in revenue per year. They're at the stage where their personal brand matters, for hiring, for partnerships, for deals, for authority in their space.

Our process is not quick.

We audit everything. your story. your company. how you do things differently. what makes you interesting. what pisses you off. what you believe that most people in your industry don't.

We meet you in person after a few months because you can't build someone's brand over Zoom calls alone. You need to see how they move, how they talk when they're comfortable, what they're like when the camera's off.

We don't use frameworks nor we apply the same playbook to everyone.

Every founder is different so is every story. That's the whole point.

If you're a founder who's tired of sounding like everyone else, let's talk.

I do manually what everyone else tries to automate. I have enough data right now to automate everything. The content creation. The commenting. The outreach. All of it.

I could plug an AI tomorrow and watch my profit margins go up.

But I don't, why?

Because I've seen what happens when you optimize for scale over soul. Founders end up with content that performs but doesn't feel like them. Posts that get engagement but don't build trust. Frameworks that work on paper but miss the whole point.

Personal branding is really messy, emotional, human.

Our content calls with clients…Sophia Kelly told me they feel more like therapy than marketing interviews. She told me once they helped her with self-discovery, questions she hadn't even thought to ask herself.

Most CEOs never sit down and reflect. They're in the weeds all day, working their asses off, then they go home. Repeat.

But when we do these extraction sessions, something usually clicks. "I haven't thought about it that way." "That's actually interesting."

I have an author as a client, he's used to this kind of thinking. But for most CEOs, these calls are more valuable than actual therapy sessions.

A lot of founders are blind to their own stories.

They don't see what's interesting about their journey until someone goes in and pulls it out. That's what we do. We extract. We find the emotion, the energy, the thing that makes them different.

Not a hook or a framework. 

If you look at our case studies, there's a pattern, storytelling that feels unique. Content that sounds like the person, not like everyone else running the same playbook.

Could I automate this and scale faster? Sure.

Would it work as well? No chance.

I'm running my own race here. Focused on depth. On the stuff you can't systematize.

And that's exactly how I want it.

CEOs: Broken pipeline & poor performer sales reps? I fix both for you in <60 days. You’ll hate how fast it works. | Modern Seller Program Founder

Your ability to book meetings, negotiate, and close deals with potential clients will determine how far you’ll thrive as a sales rep and leader.

This will allow you to:

📈 Build a career
📈 Hit your quotas
📈 Get recognition
📈 Get a promotion
📈 Get better offers
📈 Land sponsorships

However, booking meetings and closing deals it’s harder than ever:

❌ Prospects don’t return your calls
❌ Prospects don’t stop ghosting you
❌ Prospects don’t answer your emails
❌ Prospects don’t trust you as a seller
❌ Prospects don’t believe in your offer 
❌ Prospects don’t accept your LinkedIn Invite

All of these makes you feel miserable

You feel your manager’s pressure on your shoulder

And you start thinking that sales might not be for you.

Do you relate with this? Because I do - I’ve been there

This happens because the “old way” of doing sales doesn’t work anymore.

Sending 1000s of generic emails and praying they get back to you will kill your sales career.

Now, imagine having a proven system that allows you to systematically:

✅ Book more meetings
✅ Handle all the objections
✅ Move deals through the pipe
✅ Close higher tickets in less time
✅ Run discovery and demo calls like a pro

And, hitting your sales quota.

8 AI Prompts That Actually Book Meetings (Cold Email Advanced Edition)

(+ the exact wording I use to land 79+ meetings/month)

☑ ICP Research Prompt

“Act as a sales analyst. Analyse CTOs in B2B SaaS (100–500 employees). Summarise their top 5 priorities, daily pains, and buying triggers in less than 200 words.”

☑ Personalization Hook Prompt

“For this LinkedIn profile [link], draft 3 icebreakers. Keep under 20 words, avoid flattery, tie to their recent activity. Avoid jargon, buzzwords or being salesy.”

☑ Problem Hypothesis Prompt

 “Write 3 pain-point hypotheses for VPs of Sales in SaaS who missed quota last quarter. Keep each under 15 words. Make them relevant and give me a 1 line “Why it matters” for me to understand your POV”

☑ Objection Handler Prompt

 “Give me 3 tactical responses to ‘too expensive’ objection for SaaS buyers in X industry for Y role/title that are willing to buy [my solution]. Make it consultative, not defensive. Each reply must be under 25 words.”

☑ CTA Prompt

"Generate 3 high-converting CTAs for a SaaS demo request email. Each CTA must be under 12 words, avoid pushy sales language, and emphasize clear, outcome-driven value that motivates action without pressure. Prioritize clarity, psychological pull, and alignment with a business decision-maker mindset."

☑ Follow-up Prompt

"Craft a compelling two-sentence follow-up email for a prospect who opened but did not reply to my initial message [insert message 1]. Provide fresh value by weaving in a single new, research-backed insight or market trend that sparks curiosity and relevance, while keeping the tone consultative rather than transactional."

☑ Case Study Builder Prompt

"Transform the following customer testimonial into a concise, two-line cold email case study. Highlight quantifiable ROI, specific numbers, and credible impact in a way that feels authoritative yet humble—avoiding overt self-promotion while ensuring the results command attention and trust."

☑ Multi-Thread Prompt

"Identify 3 alternative stakeholders to approach if a VP of Sales does not respond. For each contact, justify their relevance by explaining their role in the decision-making ecosystem, their potential influence on the buying process, and how they could shape or accelerate a purchasing conversation."

♻️ Repost this so more people stop using GPT like an intern

Your SDRs shouldn’t exist.
At least not the way you make them operate.
This is THE way to do it:

Spray-and-pray sequences.
No signal, no strategy. Just spam.

That’s exactly where one VP of Sales was stuck.

Inbound was “OKEY”.
Outbound? Wasting time and budget.

We fixed their system using Alta | AI Revenue Workforce, and built a 24/7 GTM system that actually talks to itself.

2 AI SDR agents:

𝗞𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲 (𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱) tracks live buying signals, builds personalized lists, runs targeted outreach.

𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅 (𝗜𝗻𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱) qualifies and books inbound leads instantly. No delays. No human drop-off.

But the real magic? They work as a system. Check 2 strategies we applied:

1. 𝗜𝗻𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱

Inbound spiked from mid-market fintech teams. Alex flagged it.

Katie built a list of 30 lookalikes: 

→ Same tech stack
→ Similar hiring trends
→ Matching ICP

Campaign launched: “We’ve been helping fintech teams tackling [pain] by doing [action]. Sound familiar?”

Follow-up: “Still relevant?” + 1-line value hook

Result: 4 meetings in 2 days. 2 came from auto follow-ups. No human touch.

2. 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱

Alex qualified an inbound VP. Timing was off.

Katie set a smart trigger: “Re-engage if they post a new SDR role."

Three weeks later, it fired. 

Message: “Saw you're hiring SDRs, still thinking about pipeline coverage?”

13-minute reply.
Meeting booked.
Deal closed 22 days later.

Inbound and outbound aren't different departments.

They're one system, when you build it right.

If your sales motion still feels like ping-pong, it’s time to play relay.

What are you waiting to implement AI at scale like I do with my clients using Alta | AI Revenue Workforce?

These are my 7 go-to frameworks that actually get replies:

AI won’t book meetings for you, but it’ll make sure you never run out of ways to start one

1: Pain Point + Case Study

Start with what actually hurts, back it up with proof, and end with curiosity.

2: Lead Magnet Strategy

Give value first, earn attention before you ask for time.

3: Trigger → Question → Value → CTA

Anchor to something real, ask something sharp, connect it fast.

4: Trigger → Agitation → Social Proof → CTA

Show them the pain, show them who fixed it, invite the same.

5: Competitor → Differentiation

Don’t bash but compare. Make improvement the obvious next step.

6: Bold Observation → Soft CTA

Start with truth. End with permission. It feels human because it is.

7:  External Resource Bump

Follow up with something useful. Stay relevant without chasing.

Every one of these has been tested and every one converts.

Comment “Frameworks” and I’ll DM you the Notion Library of email templates.

AI will replace you if you keep using it like Google. Here’s how to use it like a top 1% seller

8 ready-to-go use cases:

1️⃣ Prep with Purpose

Use GPT or Perplexity to build a 3-minute intel brief before every call.

Prompt: “Summarize [Company Name]’s recent goals, funding, and biggest growth blockers and translate it into 3 talking points I can use to sound like an insider.”

You’ll open calls like someone who’s already on their team, not a stranger with a script.

2️⃣ Ask Smarter Questions

Prompt AI to generate layered discovery questions that surface budget, risk, and urgency.

Prompt: “Write 5 discovery questions to uncover timing, internal risk, and cost of inaction for a CRO.”

Example: “What happens if this project gets delayed another quarter?”

This turns curiosity into control, you lead the conversation, not the buyer.

3️⃣ Connect Features to KPIs

Drop your demo script into GPT.

Prompt: “For each feature, link it to measurable outcomes, CAC, sales velocity, or cost per rep.” 

Stop demoing features. Start selling business impact.

4️⃣ Handle Objections Before They Happen

Use Claude to pre-empt resistance.

Prompt: “List 5 objections a CRO would raise about [your product] and reframe each using ROI or opportunity cost.”

Example: “It’s too expensive” → “It’s more expensive not to fix this.” 
Anticipate the objection, then weaponize it in your favor.

5️⃣ Build Tiered Proposals

Ask GPT to structure Core vs. Premium options.

Prompt: “Create two pricing options: one focused on essentials, one on maximizing ROI and minimizing risk.”

Result: Buyers stop negotiating on price, they start choosing value.

6️⃣ Create Recaps That Sell for You

Feed your call transcript into GPT.

Prompt: “Summarize this call into: 1) key pains, 2) desired outcomes, 3) ROI language.”

Then paste it in your follow-up email. You’re not just recapping, you’re reinforcing the business case.

7️⃣ Coach Yourself with AI

Upload recordings into Momentum, Spiky, or GPT.

Prompt: “Evaluate my tone, pacing, question quality, and objection handling. What would a top rep do differently?”

AI becomes your personal sales coach , available 24/7.

8️⃣ Track Wins & Patterns

Feed GPT your notes or transcripts.

Prompt: “Compare my last 10 won vs. lost deals, identify patterns in tone, language, and question types.”

Double down on what builds trust. Cut what kills deals.

If you want to plug this AI sales workflow into your team, and train your reps to sell like top performers , DM me “SYSTEM.” 

I’ll show you how to make AI your unfair sales advantage

Cold email isn’t dead. You treat it like it’s 2018.

3 problems I see every day (and how to solve them):

 • Prospecting = copy-paste LinkedIn bios
 • Emails = walls of text + zero POV
 • Follow-ups = “just checking in”

Here’s how I fix it with AI (20 moves you can copy today):

1: Prospecting & Research

Pull live triggers (funding, hiring, launches) in seconds with @Perplexity
Summarize top 3 pain points per persona
Flip competitor case studies into proof points

2: Email Creation

Generate 5 subject lines under 5 words
Convert LinkedIn posts into personalized openers
Shrink case studies to <25 words with ROI metric
Swap “30 min call?” with micro-yes CTAs (slide / quick reply)

3: Follow-Ups & Objections

Auto-generate 40-word bump emails
Reframe “No budget” with COI (cost of inaction)
Turn an article into a 2-line nurture follow-up

4: Testing & Optimization

Create 3 rewrites for A/B tests
Cut every email to <67 words
Rewrite tone for CFO vs CMO

5: Scaling & Sequences

Build 3-step Intro → Proof → Bump flows
Repurpose as LinkedIn DMs
Save winning prompts into a template library

Why this matters:

AI doesn’t just “write faster.”

It gives you a repeatable system for research → message → follow-up → scale.

Instead of guessing → you run a playbook that compounds every week.

If your outbound team is still stuck at <3% reply rates, you don’t need another template, you need a system.

That’s what I build for clients:

→ ICP research automated with AI triggers
→ Sequences that sound like top reps (not robots)
→ Playbooks that compound results week after week
→ Trainings that help your team to perform like elite sellers

If you want me to help you map this system with your sales team, DM me to see if we’re a fit to working together.

Only reps who adapt to outbound will own the next decade:

Outbound is evolving

Evolution adds new layers

Reinventions delete what no longer works

Outbound didn’t die, attention did

Buyers didn’t stop responding because they hate sales or being sold

They stopped because you didn’t evolve as fast as they did

-Cold calls turned into “silence unknown callers.”
-Cold emails turned into “promotions tab.”
-AI-generated spam finished the job.

The problem isn’t automation. It’s that you are not original anymore

Outbound isn’t dead. It’s just going AI-native

In 2026, the best reps won’t send more messages; they'll build systems that learn from every rejection, trigger, and win

Every AI Sales workflow I built last year taught me one thing: If you can’t translate your offer into pure relevance to your prospect, your automation just scales the noise

And your “beautiful email” is just BS and s*cks

I’ve sent and analyzed +50,000 cold emails. Reply rates dropped +47% when context and relevance was missing

AI didn’t “replace” sellers. It equipped elite ones with a system ten times faster, and harder to ignore

What’s replacing sellers?

-Outbound that thinks
-Outbound that listens before it speaks
-Outbound that runs on signal, not spam

That’s the reboot

Sincerely, Alan Ruchtein

Leave your radical hard opinion below:

2 emails, 1 meeting booked in 10 minutes.
The Email Forward Strategy (explained below):

Most cold emails get ignored.

But there’s a play that flips the script — and books meetings fast.

I call it The Forward Strategy.

Here’s how it works:

You’re targeting a mid-market SaaS org. Their CRO just posted on LinkedIn about missing revenue targets.

In the comments: pipeline quality comes up.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 1: 𝗘𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗥𝗢

“Saw your post on rev targets. Teams in your space are tightening up pipeline quality by doing X, might be worth a look.”

You’re not expecting a reply.
You’re planting a signal.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 2: 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗣 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀

With one sentence on top: “Saw this from [CRO Name], figured you might want eyes on it.”

Why it works:

→ It looks internal. Like the CRO passed it down.
→ It feels relevant. No pitch, just intel.
→ It uses social proof sideways. Exec is the signal. VP takes action.

It doesn’t feel like outreach.
It feels like context.

Here’s how to run it:

Find a CRO public trigger tied to a pain you solve. 
Send them a cold email with a sharp POV.
Forward it to their VP with that one-line intro.

No faking. No fluff.
Just smarter sequencing.

It’s not mass automation.
It’s surgical outbound.

Want to make it land? I use FullEnrich to get all the right emails and data.

Because even the best play flops if you’re emailing the wrong (or no) person.
