Business & Sales Strategist for Solos & Service Based Entrepreneurs | You know your craft, I help you close it at higher rates | Elegant Client Acquisition | Grow from $5K to $30K+ months | Company Training

Imagine a business that grows with ease, because your sales system actually fits you.

Clients you’re excited to work with.
Content that sparks real conversations.
Offers you can confidently sell without pressure
And consistent revenue that doesn’t depend on hustle or hacks.

That’s what I help coaches, consultants, fractionals and founders build, with The Elegant Sales System™ method.

Telling your business' story through right content 
Driving engagement that results in interest, engagement, messages and requests
Market in a way that warms an audience and places you at the front of mind
Keeping ROI in mind with a focus on conversion rather than views

→ You’re posting, but not converting
→ Getting DMs—but not decisions
→ Sales calls stall out or ghost
→ Your offer isn’t landing like it should
→ Leads feel random or hard to qualify

It’s not that you’re mediocre at sales.
You just don’t have a system built around how real people buy.

That’s what we fix inside The Client Acquisition Club.
I teach a no-pressure, sales process that combines:

✔️ Warm outbound
✔️ Buyer-led conversations
✔️ Follow-up flows that don’t drop the ball
✔️ AI to speed things up, not water them down
✔️ Real messaging that speaks to your client’s actual pain points
✔️ Scaling your business beyond $10K a month so you can focus your energy on what matters

Even if you're a consultant with big B2B cycles that are complex, we help you navigate the buyer matrix.

- Generate more leads, clients, and business without relying only on referrals or networking
- Create different income streams with courses, speaking + brand deals
- Magnetize your brand & build trust with premium buyers
- Consistently hit $20K+ months without working harder
- Shift from 1:1 to scalable hybrid group programs
- Sell with confidence & sell as you

I also work 1:1 with consultants and coaches who want deeper support and accountability as they grow into consistent 5-figure months (and beyond).

I stopped trying to fix my daughter.

And it changed how I run my business.

My daughter is autistic.
She feels the world in a way most people don’t. 
Deeper. Louder. Sharper. 

Sometimes it floors her. Sometimes it floors me.

Every time I watch someone try to squeeze her into a box she was never built for…

…I think about how often founders do the same thing to themselves.

Especially around year two.
Year one is survival mode. 
You’re just trying not to drown.
Year two hits differently.

You suddenly realise the things you were told you “should” do don’t actually work for you. 

Not because you’re lazy. 
Not because you’re doing it wrong. 
Because you’re trying to run your business in a way your nervous system can’t stand.

That offer you dread delivering? 
That marketing tactic that spikes your anxiety? 
That “scalable” model that just scales burnout?
Yeah. That.

You’re allowed to walk away from the stuff that doesn’t fit you.
We forget this: 

Most of us left corporate because we couldn’t breathe in the tiny box they gave us. 

Then we go build… another box.

Watching my daughter move through a world that wasn’t designed with her in mind taught me something I didn’t want to admit:

Difference isn’t a flaw. 
Building around how 𝘺𝘰𝘶 work is a strategy, not a compromise.

Stop copying business models that drain you. 
Stop chasing goals that never felt like yours. 
Stop squeezing yourself into shapes that look “marketable” but feel awful.

What if you built the thing you actually need? 
The way 𝘺𝘰𝘶 need it?

Because the wild thing is… 
The more you honour how you’re built, the more everything else starts lining up.

On your terms. At your pace. No box required.

What did you let go of in year two that didn’t fit anymore?

I stopped trying to build a group program like everyone else.
After 85 live coaching sessions in 
The Client Acquisition Club

It's time to showcase the brilliant work our members do.

And a membership it is, but in the spirit of empowerment and helping others.

I want to put the spotlight on them. 

Often group programs: 

Focus on results .
Promise connection, deliver surface-level interactions.
Are built for engagement, not transformation.

The Client Acquisition Club was designed differently from day one.

No endless networking events. 
Live coaching.

Sales and deal making strategy.
Actual solutions.

How do you sound natural on camera? 
Most people think it’s about being yourself. 
It’s not.

As Nausheen I. Chen in our OpusClip 
Video and speaker coach told me recently:

“If you don’t show energy, enthusiasm, 
and passion for your topic, no one else will feel it.”

You might know your subject inside out, 
but if you don’t bring that energy forward, people won’t believe it.

AI can write your script. 
It can edit your clips. 
It can even generate your captions.

But it can’t fake conviction. 
It can’t replicate human energy. 
And it definitely can’t make people 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 something.

When the spotlight’s on you, whether it’s a stage or your phone camera

You have to bring 𝟭𝟮𝟬% 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳.

Not the version of you who slumps on the couch. 
The version who believes deeply in what they’re saying.

You’re not performing. 
You’re communicating with intention.

Mastering your voice, energy, and body language 
Isn’t about being fake
It’s about being 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵.

If you want your audience to care, you have to go first.

Most blur together after a while.

But this one? This one's different.

Midnight to Millions isn't your typical conference.
It's 24 hours straight of real sales expertise.

No fluff. No theory.
Just people who are actually doing the work.

One expert every hour.
Twenty-four sessions back-to-back.
Real strategies you can use immediately.

My session covers what actually gets clients:

Finding prospects who are ready to buy
Building a personal brand that creates demand
Using AI to scale without losing authenticity

The thing is - most people overcomplicate client acquisition.

They think they need complex funnels.
Or perfect websites. Or thousands of followers.

What they actually need?
The right conversations with the right people.

That's what I'll be breaking down.

5 myths I stopped believing and everything changed.

1️⃣ "I need more experience before I can charge what I'm worth."

Your corporate background already proves your expertise. Stop underpricing yourself while you "build credibility."

2️⃣ "High-ticket clients expect me to chase them."

Wrong. Premium buyers want to feel chosen, not hunted. Scarcity sells better than availability.

3️⃣ "If I raise my prices, I'll lose all my clients."

You'll lose the wrong ones. The right clients were waiting for you to value yourself properly.

4️⃣ "I need to say yes to every opportunity to build momentum."

Desperation repels high-ticket buyers. Selectivity signals expertise and creates demand.

5️⃣ "Good work speaks for itself."

Silence doesn't sell. 
Your expertise needs a voice, a process
A clear path to transformation.

This isn't about sales tactics.

It's about:
→ How you position your value in the market
→ The boundaries that protect your energy and profits  
→ Systems that turn expertise into predictable revenue
→ Shifting from order-taker to strategic advisor

The gap isn't your experience or your network.

It's the courage to charge what you're worth and the systems to deliver it consistently.

Success is built one confident conversation at a time.

Which myth do you still catch yourself believing?

Post inspo from Jay Rahman

Most high achievers struggle when they start their own business.

But running my own business? That was the real test.

For years, I thrived on clear expectations.
Study hard, get good grades.
Meet targets, get promoted.
Follow the system, succeed.

The rules were set.
The path was mapped out.
Success felt predictable.

Then I started my own business.

Suddenly:
• No guaranteed salary at the end of the month.
• There was no boss to tell me what to do.
• No clear metrics to follow.

The skills that made me excel before?
They weren't enough anymore.

Being smart wasn't the challenge.
Being disciplined wasn't the issue.

The real test was learning to:
• Handle rejection and keep going.
• Trust my own judgment without validation.
• Sell my expertise when I'd never had to before.

In corporate, I had a team, resources, and established processes.
In business, I had to build everything from scratch.

The hardest part wasn't the long hours or financial uncertainty.
It was the mental shift.

From employee to entrepreneur.
From following to leading.
From certainty to constant adaptation.

Many of the consultants and coaches I work with face this same reality.

They were top performers in their careers.
They have incredible expertise.
But building a business tests different muscles entirely.

It's not about being less capable.
It's about learning new skills:

• How to scale beyond trading time for money.
• How to position your expertise in the market.
• How to attract and convert ideal clients.

The transition isn't easy, but it's worth it.

Because once you learn these new skills, 
You don't just run a business.
You aren't just self employed.

You create the freedom and impact 
You've always wanted.

What's been your biggest learning curve in business?

I wrote this post with MagicPost

We’re in a trust recession. A connection crisis 
Yet you’re still hiding behind text posts? 

Most founders think they need to “learn video.” 
They don’t.

Part 2 with Nausheen in this OpusClip who says
If you’re already posting on LinkedIn, 
you’ve already done the hard part.

Smart entrepreneurs, execs, and consultants hiding behind the keyboard.
They’ll happily use AI to write their posts but won’t show their face.

We’re not just in a trust recession. 
We’re in a connection crisis.
People don’t know what’s real anymore. 

They don’t trust filtered content. They trust 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴.
And yes, video 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 get less reach than text. 
But it builds 𝟭𝟬𝘅 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 with the right people.

Because video isn’t just content. It’s 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳.
📌 Proof of how you think 
📌 How you speak 
📌 How you handle challenges 
📌 How you carry yourself under pressure

Your clients aren’t buying your words. 

They’re buying 𝘺𝘰𝘶.
And if they can’t see you? 
You’re hitting a ceiling on your credibility, your conversions, and your growth.

Video isn’t optional anymore. 
It’s the fastest path out of the trust recession and into real connection.

In 2023: Became the #1 cold email creator on LinkedIn by building my personal brand
In 2025: Teaching B2B teams the exact Cold Email + LinkedIn + Content playbook to land clients

Helped 100+ founders master the new outbound: LinkedIn intent signals, demand generation 
through content, social selling, and cold emails that actually convert.

Don't start your DM with: "Hope this message finds you well”

It has never found anyone well. Try this instead: 

1. Relevant + Good Timing + Personalised
• 2-4 sentences max. It's a DM, not an email.
• Personalise the 1st and the last line of your DM.

2. Value + Social Proof
• Show the Status QUO is not desirable by focusing on Cost of Inaction
• Add social proof with an example of a similar company = build trust faster

3. End strongly
• End with ONE clear yes/no call-to-action.
• Be super specific about what you’re asking for (don't ask the meeting)

This formula will get you a response: 

Name - <observation>, <value>. <social proof> + <risk reversal>. <CTA>.

Some good openers examples:

• Artur - your CEO <name> mentioned on a pod...
• Matt - saw in your <name of the report>...
• Yurii - despite 293k visits in October...

*Bonus tip: Move beyond DMs

- Combine DMs + Calls + Email.
- Decision-makers are more likely to respond that way.
- Use tools like Prospeo.io to find email addresses/phone numbers. 
* It works super well with Sales Nav + it's the best data on the market imo

Why be generic when you can stand out?

Ps. I`m Yurii, follow me for more actionable DM tips.

Outbound isn’t dead. Your system is. I fix that.

The 1-minute cold email checklist

(use it before you hit "send")

1. Each word counts
2. 1-3 word subject line
3. Doesn't scream "SALES"
4. 1st line loaded with research
5. <5-th grade reading language
6. F-shaped with shorter sentences
7. Clear reason “WHY” you contacted
8. “What is in it for a prospect” stands out
9. Can be read on the phone without scrolling 
10. Social proof that you helped a similar company

Bonus tip: add one soft tone Call-to-Action at the end

An example of such cold email: 

Subject: DACH expansion 

Margaret - saw Woodpecker’s DACH expansion is a Q1 focus.

Cold emails that worked in the US tend to flop with German buyers.

Hubspot’s DACH team booked 18% more meetings after 2 months with us.
We helped rebuilt their whole outreach for cultural fit.

Want to see how they did it?

P.S. Loved your LinkedIn take on deliverability.

Stop desperately asking for a meeting. 

Start conversations ✌🏻

Ps. I`m Yurii, follow me for actionable cold email tips

I met my wife thanks to… outbound? 

Yep, true story. Here’s how: 

Saw her on IG once. Wanted to DM her.
But I had no angle - no reason WHY NOW.
Didn’t want to be “just another one in the DMs.”
So I waited.

One month later: 

I’m out with friends.
See her IG story - she’s out too, just 10 minutes away.
Turn to my boys and said: “Change of plans. We’re going there.”

15 min later, we at that restaurant.

She’s with her friends.
One of them goes to the bar.
I followed - pretending to order.
And “accidentally” starter a chit-chat

Started small talk. Turns out: it’s her friend’s birthday.
Then, that same friend introduced me to my wife.

Quick “hi.”
Few words, birthday wishes.
All of the sudden, ABBA comes up on karaoke.
Of course, quick round of singing.
That was it. I dipped. 

Next morning, I just sent her this DM: 

"Hey, we met yesterday at [restaurant] (even sang ABBA). Would love to chat if you're open :)"

She responded. Rest is history. Closed Won.

Most impactful DM I ever sent.

Sales skills that saved "the deal" for me: 

1. Waited for the right trigger (meeting IRL).
TAM was 1. Had to make it count.

2. Used a friend as the connector.
Referrals work - even accidental ones.

Don’t use AI to write your cold email scripts.

It makes you look bad. Here’s why: 

AI does a lot. 

Deep research? (AiSDR)
Enrichment? (Clay)
Drafts? (Twain).

But AI can’t originate. 

It relies heavily on templates and patterns it's seen before.

Also, AI often misses crucial context:

• If they already have a solution like yours
• How your solution fits into the prospect's ecosystem
• Whether your timing makes sense for their business cycle

The most effective cold emails I've seen share these things:

- Clear reason why act now
- micro-stories with social proof
- Relevant, well timed and good offer

Here’s how to use AI + Cold Emails best: 

Use AiSDR (agent) or Clay's agent to: 

1. De-anonymise site visitors
2. Summarise LinkedIn profiles in seconds
3. Find lookalike leads, prep 1st cold email draft

Then, it’s time for you to step in: 

1/ Adapt the cold email draft for you (use Twain)
2/ Add authentic voice and personality
3/ Ensure contextual relevance

AI can help. 

But it won’t replace someone who “gets it.”

What would you add?

AI SDR vs Human SDR - who sells more?

Human. Here's why: 

Buyers aren't ready for 100% AI reps in 2025.

- 98% of execs still prefer real conversations
- 96% trust brands more after human interaction
- 72% engage only with messages that resonate

But ditching AI? That’s just as bad.

Top teams don’t choose. They combine both

- AI = speed.
research, data, and grunt work

- Humans = strategy.
nuance, tactics, and relationships

The results speak:
 +30% ROI with AI tools
 + 25% cost savings and more output
 +202% reply rates with AI enriched cold emails

Use tools like AiSDR to:

1. De-anonymise site visitors
2. Summarise LinkedIn profiles in seconds
3. Find lookalike leads, prep 1st cold email draft

So you have more time to close and build genuine relationships

So, stop chasing the magic button.
Start building a hybrid Human + AI sales machine

♻️ Repost if you agree with this. 

PS. I`m Yurii and I`m building an outbound sales system that actually works. For those DONE with wasted effort or think "outbound is not for us". Want to hear more about it: DM me "SYSTEM"

Cold email isn’t dead - people just stopped replying to generic ones.
 
See how I turned cold email from “meh” to “let’s talk”:
 
1. Relevant hook
→ Lead with THEIR problem, not your pitch.
 
2. Clear value
→ Show why staying with their current solution costs them more.
 
3. Strong close
→ One direct CTA (no begging for calls).

What would you add?
 
PS. I help founders book 25+ meetings/month. DM “System" to find out more.

Cold Email Rewrite

Your cold email should be like a burger.

The first bite has to be so good, prospects want more.

Unfortunately, most emails are gas station sandwiches.

Here's the 8-ingredient recipe to cook up a Michelin Star +15% reply rate:

1. Subject Line (The Bun Top)
- Think boring, think internal. 
- Keep it simple, under 3 words.

2. Opener (The First Bacon Bite)
- Your 1st line should scream "I did my homework."
- Use enrichment tools to find info for a "punchy start" 

3. Relevance (The Cheese)
- Focus on WHY NOW, instead of WHY US
- Work-related reasons always win.

4 Pain Point (The Healthy Stuff)
- Mirror their biggest challenge and reveal the cost of inaction.
- This is the only way to create real urgency.

5. Value (The Pickled Onion)
- Nobody cares about your product/service. 
- Everyone's looking for "what's in it for me”. not “what we do”

6 Social Proof (The Lettuce)  
- Show how you helped similar companies. 
- One specific win beats ten vague claims.

7. Clear CTA (The Meat)
- Make saying "no" easy. 1 yes/no question.
- Reduce friction, build trust.

8. P.S. Section (The Secret Sauce)
- Save personal interests for PS. 
- Let your main email focus on business value.

*Bonus Burger + Fries combo

Just like burgers need fries, cold emails need deliverability.
The best copy means nothing in spam folders.

I use Maildoso to ensure +98% deliverability

→ Pick my outbound domains there
→ It monitors my deliverability daily so I catch issues early.
→ Safely send image, videos, links in cold emails (game changer)

Follow these rules.

They get replies.

An example of such an email: 

Subject: DACH outreach plan 

Margaret - in Woodpecker’s quarterly report expansion to DACH seems to be a top priority for Q2.

Cold emails that work in DACH differ from those you used to grow in the US.

Hubspot’s DACH sales team started booking 27% more meetings after just 2 months of working with us. 

Would insights on how they did ot be interesting to you?

PS. Your LinkedIn posts on email deliverability are really insightful

*Pro tip.
These tips mean nothing if your emails land in SPAM (happened a lot in 2025)

- That's why I send my emails using Maildoso's infrastructure.
- It gets me +97% primary inbox placement - even to Outlook emails.
- Plus, it's cheaper to buy mailboxes that way (only $1.80) compared to Google.

What would you add?

AI didn’t kill outbound. It killed lazy pitch slaps.

Join us live on 11/11 - we’ll talk about how to prep for 2026.

The lineup is stacked - practitioners closing deals in the new landscape.

We’ll break down:

1. Why everyone saying “outbound is dead” is wrong (and losing)
2. How AI just rewrote every cold email rule (forever)
3. Tools we actually use (not just recommend)
4. How to get replies right now

No fluff. No theory.

Just what’s working today.
