🚀 Scaling Sales & Marketing Operations with AI-Powered Automation | Clay Expert | Outbound Campaign Strategist

I'm a dynamic sales and GTM operations specialist who builds Clay tables, optimizes inbound and outbound operations, and implements AI into sales systems. My mission? Scaling your efforts at a fraction of the cost.

With two years of hands-on experience in sales, I've crafted compelling campaigns, created powerful automations, and connected APIs across various sales tools to make things streamlined. I've built lists of hundreds up to tens of thousands of potential leads, managing outbound campaigns that could send 10K+ emails monthly.

🔑 Key Expertise:
- List Building & AI Lead Scoring
- Copywriting & Offer Generation
- Marketing Automation & API Integration
- Clay, Smartleads, CRMs, LLMs (Claude, ChatGPT)
- Make.com, LinkedIn Automation, Notion, Airtable

My unique approach? I start with the offer, test via email, then scale 10X. I leverage AI to continuously refine strategies, ensuring we keep what works and discard what doesn't. I'm working on my Clay MBA certification and hold a Prompting for AI Operations certification, testament to my commitment to cutting-edge sales tech.

Ideal collaborators are those who've cracked their initial sales code and are ready to scale. If you've resonated with Alex Hormozi's "$100M Offers" and "$100M Leads," and have a budget of $6-7K+ monthly for outbound testing, we're speaking the same language. 

My passion in this is when I get to bring a spiritual flow state to sales and marketing, combining holistic thinking with detailed execution. I thrive on solving complex problems and crafting innovative strategies.

🎯 Got a sales or marketing challenge? I'd love to hear about it. DM me, and I'll send you a personalized Loom video with my thoughts on how we can tackle it together.

Let's connect and explore how we can supercharge your sales and marketing efforts!

Welcome to our race Kellanova Pop-Tarts®! We are excited to have such a fun iconic snack join our Marathon, and I can't wait to see our athletes looking like a Pop-Tart as they cross the finish line and wrap themselves in the metallic blankets. A special shout out to the team who have contributed to this partnership Jimmy Van Meter Abigail O'Connor Carlee (Bator) Schafer Henry Gunderson Carrie Lewis Arpe Bagumyan, M.A.

#Sponsorship #Partnerships #LA #Marathon #Running #CPG #Poptarts #snack #Socialimpact

We are excited to share that Kellanova's popular snack brand Pop-Tarts® officially joined the 2026 ASICS Los Angeles Marathon race season as the Official Snack. The new partnership has two unique activations that will bring the playful Pop-Tarts® brand to life on the course and at the finish line.

Runners will first encounter Pop-Tarts® at Mile 10, where they will find much more than a traditional hydration station. As the official Mile Sponsor, Pop-Tarts® will present a fully branded experience designed to provide a much-needed psychological and energetic boost with eye-catching opportunities for runners to capture the moment in photos and interactive zones for spectators to cheer on their athletes. 

As part of the experience, Pop-Tarts Protein Slammin’ Strawberry mascot will be showing up on and around the course—cheering on runners and hanging with spectators. The mascot officially declared its intention to “go pro” at the end of 2025, so a stop at the LA Marathon is the perfect training moment for this buff pastry.
