Certified Clay Expert & Agency owner | I'll help you build a scalable outbound engine that gets meetings booked on autopilot in the next 180 days | Visit Youtube: @growth-today to see how

Growth shouldn’t feel random.

Most of the B2B companies hit the same walls:
Inbound leads that don’t convert

Outbound that burns reps out without results

Partnerships that look good on paper but never drive pipeline

A CRM full of noise instead of reliable data


I’ve seen it across founders, sales leaders, and marketing teams. The problem isn’t effort, it’s the lack of a repeatable, scalable GTM system.
That’s what we build at Growth Today.

Instead of disconnected tools or random campaigns, we design and implement repeatable GTM engines across sales, marketing, and partnerships that…

✅ Enrich and qualify data
✅ Activate inbound leads into real opportunities
✅ Automate outbound prospecting
✅ Keep CRMs clean and reliable
✅ Orchestrate multi-channel campaigns
✅ Make BDR teams more effective or fully replace them
✅ Align marketing + partnerships with sales for compounding growth

Recent wins:

 → Built a clean, automated CRM that doubled conversion rates
 → Launched a content-driven demand gen engine that 3x’d inbound lead quality
 → Systematized partner outreach → pipeline from alliances grew 40% in 6 months

Growth doesn’t come from more outreach or more tools.
It comes from building the right system once and scaling it.
If you’re a B2B founder or revenue leader serious about building predictable pipeline, let’s connect.

We automate 90% of our repetitive tasks or GTM motions.

And honestly, it's the only reason we can move this fast

Most of us are doing manual work…

Copywriting, following up, building lists.

We used to do that too.

Then we asked… "what if we only touched things that actually need a human?"

So, here's what we automate:

1️⃣ Lead & Account Enrichment

→ Clay auto-enriches companies & contacts with firmographics, tech stack, and intent signals.

2️⃣ ICP Qualification & Scoring

→ Clearbit/Clay score accounts automatically based on size, industry, and buying signals.

3️⃣ CRM Hygiene

→ HubSpot auto-deduplicates records, standardizes fields, and keeps pipelines clean.

4️⃣ Inbound Lead Routing

→ Zapier routes inbound leads instantly to the right owner based on rules.

5️⃣ Outbound Personalization at Scale

→ Claude generates personalized first lines using firmographic + behavioral context.

6️⃣ Multi-Channel Campaign Orchestration

→ lemlist sync email, LinkedIn, and follow-ups, and all activities w/o manually adding anything.

7️⃣ Meeting Booking & Follow-Ups

→ Calendly removes back-and-forth and auto-trigger reminders after no-shows.

8️⃣ Content Repurposing

→ Claude turns one idea into multiple GTM assets across channels.

9️⃣ Performance Tracking & Attribution

→ Hootsuite tracks what actually drives the pipeline, not vanity clicks.

🔟 Reporting & Revenue Visibility

→ Airtable dashboards that show what's working and what's not.

You don't need to automate everything overnight.

Start with one workflow that's eating your time, automate that, and see what changes.

Co-Founder @Growth Today | We Build Repeatable GTM Engines Across Sales, Marketing & Partnerships 🚀

You can have the best product in the world…

But without GTM

Nobody sees it.
Nobody hears about it.
Nobody gets it.

Because GTM isn’t some launch moment or a slide deck.

It’s the day-to-day clarity around:

who you’re actually talking to,

why they should care right now,

and where your message shows up.

I’ve seen solid products stall simply because that part was fuzzy.

Nothing was wrong with the product.

The path to the buyer just wasn’t clear.

GTM is what turns good work into traction.

Without it, even great products stay invisible.

Some examples:

- A great product, but no clear ICP → everyone’s “a fit,” so no one really is
- No value in messages → buyers don’t care 
- Good messaging, but wrong channel → you’re explaining value where your prospects aren’t paying attention

You can check Rippling, Drift, Gorgias, and many more companies

Your real moat isn’t the product…..

It’s how consistently (!) you can reach the right prospects at the right moment.

Distribution is most important
(on email, on ads, on cold email).

Be #ATOM

Always Be Top Of Mind

Where it makes sense & wherever you can

I launched 12 campaigns before realizing I was doing it backwards

The thing is, I kept starting with tactics when I should've started with structure

So here's what works when you're building a multi channel GTM campaign…

1. Audience & Triggers 

Figure out who you're talking to and when they're paying attention. 

2. Messaging Angles 

Write the story that stops them mid scroll. They need to relate with your message

3. Channel Mix 

Meet buyers where they usually hang out. 
LinkedIn + email + ads only work if your audience is there

4. Execution Rhythm 

Map the timing so it feels natural, not like you're screaming into every channel at once 👀

5. Impact Review 

Look at what worked and what flopped, coz that’s the point where you learn and get better

Pretty basic but make big changes in your campaign results

I made this cheatsheet so you don't have to learn it the hard way like I did 👇

Btw, do you plan campaigns step-by-step or just dive in?

Does your LinkedIn outreach feel like a never ending juggling act?

You’ve got Slack, Clay, Instantly, and a bunch of other tools running, but they don’t always play nice together. 😅

It’s easy to feel like you’re constantly switching between apps, trying to keep everything in sync 

But the reality is, you're losing time and missing opportunities in the process.

Now, with all these integrations working together seamlessly, everything just clicks.

Aimfox has my back.

No more headaches from jumping between platforms.

When everything works together, it’s like a smooth-running operation. 

I can focus on what I do best 

building real connections instead of battling with tech. And honestly, that feels like a superpower. 😎

When I started doing outbound, I thought more leads would bring better results

I'd export massive lists, send countless emails, and wait for replies

Most of the time, it never worked

Then I learned the hard way that I had to reach out to the right people instead of more people

I was spending hours every week chasing leads that were never going to convert

Had to change that, so I stopped obsessing over quantity and started caring about data quality

- Accurate emails 
- Verified contact info
- Actual decision makers

Started building a workflow around tools that actually delivered clean data.

Prospeo.io helped me with better email finding, and I could finally focus on leads that actually mattered..

That one modification changed my entire approach to outbound

So, if you're still in the guessing phase, I totally get it.

I was there too…. for way too long. 😅

But once you experience what it's like to work with quality data, there's no going back

Your outreach gets sharper, and your replies get better

P.S. If your lead list feels overwhelming or your bounce rate is increasing,it might be time to rethink your data sources. just saying. 😉

I replied to only 1 out of 50 personalized messages I got last month

You know why that one message was different?

It was talking about the problem I actually had.

the other 49? same tired playbook:

- loved your recent post!
- saw you're hiring!
- big fan of your work!

I know these messages took effort.

Someone looked at my profile.
someone tried to find a hook.
someone hit send hoping for a reply.

But effort doesn’t create relevance

and that's the reason why most outreach falls apart

Dropping my name or mentioning my company isn't personalization

Real personalization comes when someone shows they understand the real problem

Not just surface-level stuff anyone could find in 10 seconds.

👇 peep the graphic for 11 messages that feel personal but really aren't

The fix is better questions

→ what problem might they actually have right now?
→ how could I genuinely help?

answer those first. then hit send 😉

p.s. if you wouldn't reply to your own message, your prospect won't either.

Every B2B deal has 6 people you need to win over

Have you been in a situation when:

The Champion is excited, pushing it internally, everything's moving... and then it just dies. 😅

Happened to me too many times before I figured it out

I was only talking to The Champion

But while they were selling for me, there were 5 other people I completely missed:

So I started mapping out who's who in every deal.

Added those 6 people on visuals

Once I started paying attention, deals became way less confusing.

I could anticipate objections and address the right concerns for each person.

Because you're not selling to one person, you're navigating a whole committee.

We used to start every day putting out fires.

Slack pinging, campaigns underperforming, and by 6 PM, we'd wonder:

"wait, what did we actually do today?" 😅

So we built a simple morning routine

90 minutes, same time every day.

Review the important things → decide what to fix → tell the team what to do.

That's it.

This is what we check:

→ pipeline health
→ outbound performance
→ ICP drift (are we still talking to the right people?)
→ buying signals (who's ready to talk now?)
→ sequence copy
→ meeting quality (are we booking real opportunities?)

Then we pick the top 5 things that worked today.

and we tell the team in one Slack message.

done.

It's not perfect, but it keeps us from drowning in reactive work.

Is your morning routine anything similar? 😀

Got a BDR team but struggling to get results from cold calling? Here’s the situation:

- No dedicated resources to cold call
- BDRs haven’t cold-called yet and AEs are swamped
- Already cold calling, but can't systematize because RevOps is overloaded

We help by running automated outbound for BDR teams while also focusing on Tier 1 accounts with personalized messaging.

Here’s how we do it with Growth Today:

→ We pull audiences from all GTM initiatives:

     - Handraisers 🙋‍♂️, leads who responded but didn’t convert, app installs,        dead leads, cold audiences

→ Auto-generate tasks for BDRs:

   - Programmatic leads → Our BDRs cold call
   - Tier 1 accounts → Your BDRs cold call

→ We integrate with SDRs to optimize the process and drive enterprise deals

Here’s how we set it up:

→ Sync Instantly data to HubSpot (or Salesloft/Outreach for Tier 1)
→ Pull data from HubSpot/SFDC, enrich with Clay
→ Maximize phone numbers with services like Forager, Prospeo.io and                  LeadMagic
→ Update/Create contacts with fresh data
→ Push contacts to Orum 🥇 to automate cold calling

And the best part :

We summarize everything into a cold call opener, so your BDRs don’t need to read through 50 fields.

Next post: I’ll share cold call opener results ...hit 🔔 on my profile for updates.

P.S.:

If your BDRs need support or you want to systematize cold calling for Tier 1 accounts, DM me!

Your best email insights aren’t in your CRM, they’re in your prospect’s context

I have seen few teams personalizing with whatever data is easiest to grab

Titles, Locations… maybe a LinkedIn mention if they’re feeling fancy. 😅

But the best way is to look beyond the fields in your CRM

The tiny clues that tell you:

“Hey, this person might actually care about what you’re saying.”

We pulled together 10 relevance cues you can use today, including:

- Role pains
- Timing triggers
- Intent signals
- Tech gaps
- micro-segments
- human insight

All the good stuff you wish your CRM captured.

None of this is hard

Start with one signal.

Test it.

See how people respond when the email finally feels like it was written for them, not at them.

And if you already personalize this way, I’d love to hear what signals work best for you. 🙋🏻‍♀️

SaaS companies don’t buy the way we think they do.

(probably you already know this)

You email one person. They like it…. They even agree with it. But they’re not the ones deciding 😅 

Or they need to check with someone else. Or they forward it internally…

…and then it gets passed around internally.

SaaS decisions usually involve more than one person.

Those decisions usually live across teams.

Different people, different priorities.

Founders look at the big picture. Sales looks at the pipeline. RevOps cares about process. 

Tech worries about scalability, products, the roadmap, yada yada.

Everyone’s looking at the same challenge. Just from a different angle. 👀 

This is where a lot of GTM motions stop making sense.

When everything is aimed at one person, and we wait for a yes, we’re oversimplifying how SaaS actually buys.

What changed for me was thinking through:

Who else is involved? Who else influences the decision? Who else also needs to feel confident before anything moves?

That’s also why tools like saasyDB are useful in practice.

You can get the whole buying committee from a very accurate and simple Saas database

& loop them pre or post-sales as you’d like!

One company + whole buying committee = for 1 credit 💪 

If you haven’t tried out SassyDB and you’re targeting SaaS, do it. super easy to use and accurate, fresh database 🥁 ✌

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.

Wouldn't this be the scenario you would like to be in?

The good news - I can help you get there with:

➝ My weekly Newsletter with actionable sales tactics
➝ My daily sales practical examples in my Content
➝ My sales personalized program
➝ My 1-on-1 Coaching Sessions

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."

Brand partnership • 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

17.691.288 emails, 6.882.916 calls, and 15 years later, I realized something:

Sales isn’t hard because of objections.
It’s hard because of the emotional tax.

The giving.
The waiting.
The ghosting.

You don’t last by getting tougher.
You last by getting better at rebuilding.

EVERY. SINGLE. DAY

For you, my dear sales colleague:

You’ll survive Q1 and become stronger.

Agreed?

This is my inspirational post.

👉 Follow Alan Ruchtein for Modern Sales Frameworks.

“I used a tool to get your number. Want a demo?”
That was my opener on a cold call to a CEO last week.
First thing out of his mouth: 

“Who gave you my number?”

Most reps would never say that.
Too risky. Too blunt. Too honest.

Old-school playbook says:

- "Found it in my notes…"
- "We met at an event, maybe?"
- "Uh, your colleague passed it over."

I said:  “FullEnrich did. Your reps should use it too.”

He laughed.

Boom, we’re in.

No lies. No fake intros. No fluff.

The most dangerous thing in sales today? Playing it safe.

Safe = Ignored.
Safe = Generic.
Safe = “Thanks, not interested.”

Radical honesty cuts through faster than any script ever will.

Tools like FullEnrich get you access.
Truth gets you respect.

What's your #1 opener for cold calls?

This email has booked me 25 meetings in the last 21 days (COPY THE TEMPLATE AND FRAMEWORK):

I called it: The 1-Sentence Framework.

⭢ 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲:

Subject: [process]

"Hi [Name],

If we could [achieve the desired result], without [super painful topic], would that be worth a quick chat?

Best
Alan

PS: [Relevant topic you know about them]"

Why does it work:

→ Lowercase subject line
→ Less than 55 words
→ Soft Call to Action
→ PS (worth adding)
→ Customer-Centric
→ Mobile Friendly
→ Relevant Topic
→ Teasing

Your prospect doesn't give a Fuuurk about you.

They care about what you can do for them.

With this framework, you'll engage them by focusing on their objectives.

Just pointing out how you can be of help

⭢ Simple
⭢ Relevant
⭢ Pain Focused

My go-to 6 live frameworks for follow-ups. They work across email, LinkedIn DMs, and live calls to clearly recap and move conversations forward:

Most follow-ups fail because they try to “check in” instead of forcing a decision.

“Just checking in.”
“Any updates?.”
“Bumping this.”

Those don’t move deals forward.
They remind buyers you want something.

Strong follow-ups do the opposite:

→ restore clarity
→ re-anchor priorities
→ reduce decision friction

1️⃣ Clarity Recap

Re-align the conversation and confirm understanding.

Example: “To make sure we’re aligned here’s what I understood you’re aiming for [short description]. Did I capture that right?”

2️⃣ Silent Objection Check-In

Creates space for what hasn’t been said.

Example: ”Is anything on your side holding this up or something popped up internally I should be aware of?”

3️⃣ Priority Alignment

Refocuses on what matters most right now.

Example: “When we last spoke, {{priority}} was top of the list. Is that still the case, or has anything shifted?”

4️⃣ Micro-Value Nudge

Moves the conversation forward naturally.

Example:“Sharing a quick resource that other teams found useful when tackling [X], thought it might be helpful for you too.”

5️⃣ Time-Pressure Mirror

Reflects their timeline without pushing yours.

Example: “Are you still hoping to get this sorted before {{timeline}}. If so, you shoul act by doing X before Y. May I help there?”

6️⃣ Decision Simplifier

Reduces friction by making the next step easy.

Example: “If it helps, I can put together a simple 1-page summary so you can review the key points?”

Good follow-ups don’t chase.

They guide the next step.

I might be able to help you avoid all the ghosting you’ll get in Q1 and hit quota faster by working together using my proven methodology.

If you want that to happen, DM me “ELITE” and let’s make you unstoppable.

New year. New format. Same obsession: Telling the truth about sales:

For the last couple of years, sales content has been everywhere.

Posts. Threads. Frameworks. Hot takes.

Useful? Sometimes.
Human? Rarely.

But sales isn’t just read. It’s felt.

Tone matters.
Pace matters.
Timing matters.

You remember a voice long after you forget a post.

People don’t trust content.
People trust people behind content.

Together with Kevin, we’re creating a podcast that talks sales the way you actually experience it. 

- The pressure 
- The uncomfortable calls
- The wins that almost fell apart 
- The tools you can use now to win deals.
- The moments nobody turns into a carousel.

This simple 6-step process tweak in my prospecting routine changed everything:

01 — Spot Accounts Showing Real Movement

Pipeline grows when outreach starts with signs of activity.

Look for:

→ VP/CRO job changes
→ Hiring sprints
→ Funding events
→ Tech stack swaps

AI Prompt: “Analyze this account and list 3 buying signals with explanations of what each signal means for pipeline, urgency, and timing.”

02 — Turn Signals Into a POV That Actually Lands

A buying signal only matters when it’s connected to urgency. A strong POV answers:

1️⃣ What changed
2️⃣ Why it matters
3️⃣ How it impacts pipeline, revenue, or efficiency

AI Prompt: “Turn this buying signal into a sharp POV for a VP of Sales. Keep it under 40 words and link it to pipeline quality.”

03 — Build Relevance in Under 20 Seconds

Fast relevance lowers resistance.

AI pulls instant context from:

✓ LinkedIn
✓ Website
✓ Hiring trends
✓ Tech stack

AI Prompt: “Summarize this prospect’s last 5 actions (posts, hires, tech changes) and turn it into a 20-second personalized intro.”

04 — Trigger Outreach Based on Behavior

Modern outbound reacts to intent — not timers.

If they:

✓ Click → send an insight
✓ Open → send a POV
✓ Watch → send a case study
✓ Ignore → change the angle

AI Prompt: “Based on this behavior event (open, click, watch), recommend the next message that would create maximum relevance.”

05 — Align Messaging to Real Pain

Personas describe audiences.
Signals describe realities.

Replace: “Head of Sales at SaaS companies” with “Teams missing pipeline coverage because SDR productivity dropped 27% in Q3.”

AI Prompt: “Translate this ICP persona into 3 real pains backed by buying signals, not assumptions.”

06 — Automate What’s Proven to Work

Your best talk tracks shouldn’t disappear after a good call.

Turn wins into:
✓ Scripts
✓ Prompts
✓ Templates
✓ Micro-frameworks

AI Prompt: “Analyze these 5 won-deal calls and extract:

– patterns that created trust
– language that moved the deal forward
– objections that repeated
– winning talk tracks to templatize.”

If this feels like what your team is missing, follow Alan Ruchtein for real fixes

Here’s the truth no one tells you about AI AGENTS in 2026 and you must know before it’s too late:

Most teams talk about “AI SDRs” like it’s some futuristic thing.

It’s not. 

It’s just the new way top outbound teams already operate in 2026.

If you want an AI SDR that actually books meetings and not just another bot sending spam, follow the exact blueprint I use with my clients 👇

1️⃣ Map the SDR workflow

Before you automate anything, break the job into small stuff

This includes researching accounts, spotting triggers, writing emails, personalizing, qualifying inbound, following up, and updating the CRM.

 If you don’t know what the AI should own, nothing will work.

2️⃣ Assign each responsibility to its own AI agent

Think of it like building a tiny GTM team:

• CRM Agent
• Inbox Agent
• Writer Agent
• Trigger Agent
• Research Agent
• Sequencer Agent

 Each one handles a specific part of the process so nothing gets dropped.

3️⃣ Train the AI to think like your best SDR

Give it a persona, feed it your ICP pains, your POVs, your proof.

Let it write the emails, the call scripts, the follow-ups, the objection handling.
Save your best prompts somewhere and reuse them. Don't start from scratch every time.

4️⃣ Turn the whole thing on

A signal fires, research happens instantly, a fresh POV gets created, the message goes out, follow-ups happen automatically, CRM gets updated, and managers get notified when something matters.

No lag. No guessing. No “I forgot.”

5️⃣ Track everything and refine it

Open rate, reply rate, positive replies, meetings booked, time-to-first-touch.

Every cycle makes the system smarter.
 
Modern AI AGENTS don’t replace reps.

They replace everything that slows reps down.

They drop signals way before you notice.

But top sellers spot the subtle signals that quietly say:  “This company is getting ready to buy.”

They are:

1) New Funding Round
2) Key Leadership Hire
3) Sudden Team Layoffs
4) Rapid Hiring Spikes
5) New GTM Leader
6) Product Launch
7) Tech Stack Swap
8) Pricing Changes
9) Competitor Move
10) High-Churn Reviews
11) Website Redesign
12) Hiring for Pain Keywords
13) Industry Regulation Change
14) New Market Expansion
15) New Partnership
16) Negative Press
17) Flat Quarter or Revenue Drop
18) Big Customer Win
19) Founder or CEO Publicly Posting About Pain
20) Job Postings with “Fix” Language

One of my clients burned $80k before realizing step 1 was wrong:

They were a fast-growing B2B SaaS team.
Just raised a round.
Ready to scale outbound.

So they did what most execs do:

→ Hired 3 reps
→ Bought lead lists
→ Wrote solid copy
→ Hit send

And waited.

The results?

- 18% open rates
- 0 meetings booked
- Reps blaming the messaging
- Founders blaming the reps

They even considered scrapping outbound altogether.

But the problem wasn’t the team.
It wasn’t the message either.

It was infrastructure.

No one checked the sending setup.
No one tracked reputation.
No one built a real system to protect their inboxes.

They were firing campaigns from burner Gmail accounts and wondering why nothing landed.

That’s when we brought in Maildoso.

Here’s what changed:

✅ Self-healing mailboxes
✅ Google Workspace + SMTP rotation
✅ US-based IPs, real domains
✅ Deliverability monitoring + auto-replacement

Fast forward 30 days:

- 98%+ inbox placement
- 5 meetings/week
- Cold email went from a gamble to a pipeline engine

Lesson?

Step 1 of outbound is NOT copy.
It’s not hiring reps.
It’s not even building lists.

Step 1 is infrastructure.

No infra = no delivery
No delivery = no pipeline
No pipeline = no growth

Cold email isn’t broken.

Most companies just skip the foundation.

Don’t be that guy. Do outbound properly.

Inbox or nothing.
