I help ambitious professionals 40+ get strong, energized, and calm through holistic fitness → functional strength & mobility, the med method, and somatic stress release

I used to be a high-performer stuck in a low-performance body.

→ Back stiff.
→ Mind foggy.
→ Chest tight.

My friends would say, I was “fine.”
In practice, I was fraying.

That was me at 35.

One morning, I caught myself in the mirror. 
Slouched, hollow-eyed, barely breathing deep without discomfort.

I had success. I had money.
But I didn’t have myself.

That slow burnout nearly took it all.

So I made a choice: not just to heal my body, but to upgrade it.

For 8+ years, I immersed myself in:

→ Functional strength
→ Mindful mobility
→ Breathwork, somatics, nervous system regulation

Slowly, I rebuilt my energy, my resilience, and my presence.

Now, at 44, I feel sharper, calmer, and stronger than I did in my 20s.

And that’s what I help my clients unlock, too.

Here's an example…


A client, James, is a consultant constantly on the road.

Dinners with clients. Long flights. Stress stacking up. He thought fitness meant “go hard or go home,” but that approach left him drained.

We built him a plan using our LUC Framework for functional strength, Mediterranean-inspired nutrition swaps he could make anywhere in the world, and nervous system resets he could do in 10 minutes between calls.

Now he bikes and hikes with his kids on the weekends (something he thought was behind him).

Over the past decade I found…


Most people don’t need more discipline.

They need a system that integrates fitness, food, and stress regulation into their daily life.

That’s what I do. Together with Ketty.

We help ambitious, driven people build body-first holistic fitness & health so they can keep showing up strong, sharp, and steady → at work, at home, and in life.

Less stress.
More energy.
Deeper presence.
Sharper performance.


How we can work together:

1) 1:1 Coaching → personalized holistic fitness integration
2) Online Course → remove restrictions + get pain-free
3) Executive & Team Coaching → holistic fitness for performance-driven teams

If you think this is “wellness,” it’s not.
This is about building the body you need for the life you want.

A regulated nervous system.
Energy that lasts the whole day.
A body that feels free, strong, and reliable.

That’s your unfair advantage → in business, leadership, and life.

Markus Kneissl

You need strength + energy to thrive in business & life
But most people fail at strength training 
because they start at the wrong level.

They jump straight into workouts that 

Overload joints.
Skip fundamentals.
Mistake intensity for progress.

That’s why pain shows up before results.

Here’s a proven method I provide my clients with so they can start at a level that suits their muscles, joints, and nervous system:

The Progressive Strength Ladder

Step 1: Master form and control 
↪︎ slow tempo, bodyweight only

Step 2: Add stability 
↪︎use bands, elevate positions, build joint awareness

Step 3: Progress resistance gradually 
↪︎ not more weight, but better movement quality

Step 4: Integrate recovery
↪︎ mobility, breathwork, nervous system resets

And if you’re struggling to get started with strength training, this might be exactly what you need right now.

You still believe strength is just built in the gym?

It’s not.
It’s built in capacity.

Capacity to recover.
Capacity to move well.
Capacity to stay consistent.

This approach has helped our clients in their 40s, 50s, and 60s get stronger without flare-ups, joint pain, or burnout.

Start where you are.
Progress with precision.

Your body will thank you.
And so will your future self.

Move your body. Calm your mind. Thrive in life.

Lose 10kg without gaining them back

Is that possible? 

It is.
But not in a month.
Read the piece below for the math.

Helping ambitious people to feel confident, energized, and calm through Mediterranean inspired nutrition, movement, and stress management | Certified nutrition coach | Weight loss | Stress Eating

“Here’s how you lose 10 kg in 1 month”


You don’t.
Not in a healthy, repeatable way.

To lose 10 kg of fat you need roughly 77,000 kcal of deficit.
That’s about 2,500 kcal less. Every day. For a month.

For a knowledge worker who burns 2,000–2,600 kcal per day, that would mean:

➔ Living on almost no food
➔ Or training like an athlete on top of a full-time job
➔ Plus wrecked sleep, focus, mood, and hormones

Yes, the scale might drop fast.
But it probably will be mostly water and muscle.

Then comes the rebound. 
Often with interest.

Clinical guidelines are boring but honest:

0.5–1 kg per week, with a 500–750 kcal daily deficit, is the safe range.

This is what I coach instead:

1. Mediterranean-style, real food
2. Stable blood sugar
3. Habits that survive real life
   
Together with movement and stress management, teaming up with Markus Kneissl

You can absolutely lose 10 kg.

The smart move is 10 kg over 3-4 months, while feeling sharper at work and calmer in life.

But the real gain, is to learn how to keep it off, without giving up your job, your business, your life.

If you could prioritize one thing, speed or sustainability, which would you choose for weight loss?

P.S. Want to learn more about our program and approach, comment “Energy” and I’ll share more.

Success used to mean a corner office.

Now it means having the energy to enjoy your life after work.

For decades, ambition was defined by status.

The title.
The car.
The skyline view.

Today, it’s different.

Health is the new ambition.

Because…

What good is achievement if you’re too tired?

Too tired to exercise after work.
Too tired to play with your kids.
Too tired to live the life you built.

I work with executives who once lived the high-life.

Red-eye flights.
Endless meetings.
Little sleep.
“Reward dinners.” 

That blurred into exhaustion.

One client, a managing director in finance, told me, 

“I used to chase every deal like a bulldog the postman. Now I just want to wake up clear-headed, energized, and not feel like I’m 80 at 45.”

We built him back from the ground up:

→ Morning movement to get the engine started.
→ Mediterranean-style meals + a simple eating-out guide.
→ A 10-minute nervous system reset that replaces the 5th espresso.

Within eight weeks, he said:

"I finally feel human again, like my vitality and zest for life came back."

That’s the new ambition.

Not more hours
↪︎ but more presence.

Not more output,
↪︎ but more life in every moment.

And I feel every one of you who wants more energy. 
More vitality. And health that doesn’t suck.

That’s why…

We’re opening 3 private spots next week for executives ready to work directly with Ketty and me.

Comment RESET for early access.

Because I learned:

If you can’t enjoy the success you worked for…

It’s not success.

Move your body. Redefine success. Thrive in life.

A selfie of Markus Kneissl & Ketty Minissale from The Energy Lab at Pantalica, Sicily.

2016, I left a high-stress corporate role.

High pay, low peace.

I quit for my health, well-being, and freedom.

Traveled the world. 
Met Ketty. 
Built a new kind of life.

But soon I fell into the same old patterns,
just in new locations:

Working late. 
Chasing deadlines. 
Ignoring my body.

Running on caffeine + adrenaline.
Promising myself “I’ll rest later.”

Then COVID hit.
And I lost everything. 
Clients. Income. Direction.

That’s when Ketty and I asked: 

What if we built something that truly reflected the life we wanted to live?

Not just financially free.
But physically and emotionally free.

We designed our method around what saved us:

→ Movement that strengthens & restores.
→ Mediterranean-inspired nutrition that’s simple + practical.
→ Somatic practices that calm the nervous system.
→ Work that feels like flow, most days.
→ Structure that supports freedom.

Three years later, we’ve settled in Sicily (Ketty’s home region.)

Here life moves slower, meals matter, and calm is currency.

I love it here.

Now we help high achievers do the same:

Rebuild energy, strength, and clarity w/o extremes.

Because real success isn’t how much you earn.
It’s how deeply you live.

What’s your definition of success? 

I go first: Peace of body. Peace of mind. A life I love.

Move your body. Calm your mind. Thrive in life.

Stop wasting money on the wrong GTM tools. Here’s my top 20 that actually grow revenue.

Too many founders buy tools that look shiny but don’t move the needle.

Seen it. Lived it.

Your stack should do one thing: help you close more deals, faster.

Here’s my working list after helping 25+ B2B companies scale:

Listbuilding:

- Clay(gent)
- DiscoLike
- Storeleads
- Open Mart
- Apollo & Sales Nav (evergreen)
- Octave

Data:

Every tool earns its spot.

No filler. No hype.

Each one solves a real problem I see in GTM every week.

- Sequencing tools help you run campaigns at scale.
- Listbuilding tools keep your outreach targeted.
- Data tools make sure you’re actually someone.
- CRM keeps your deals moving.
- Content and notes keep your message sharp and your team in sync.
- Automations save time and let you focus on closing.

No single tool does it all.

But together, this stack covers every base you need to grow revenue.

Stop stacking random tools.

Start building a system.

Your stack should prove your value, every day.

Founder @ Platinum Agency | Helped 20+ B2B Companies Scale Revenue through AI Powered GTM Systems | Podcast: GTM Advantage

Everyone wants a GTM engineer right now. It's the hottest job in the market. But hiring one? That’s the hard part.

Noëmie Jacquemin broke this down on GTM Advantage. We went deep for 30 minutes. She mapped out what works when you hire—how strong GTM engineers land the best jobs.

Most teams faceplant on this step.

Not because they skip interviews.

But because they don’t know what to look for.

Wrong hire? Expensive-money, time, trust.

Here’s my no-fluff playbook from the latest GTM Advantage episode:

- GTM engineer = builder of revenue systems. Not “ops with a fancy title.” They wire data, automations, email infra, enrichment, copy routing-end-to-end.

- Ditch the CV. Ask for a Loom walkthrough of their proudest Clay build. I want to see decisions, variables, branches. Why did they build it that way?

- Can they explain complex tables in plain language? If yes, they bridge GTM and stakeholders. If not, you risk silos.

- Coachability > perfection. I never look for flawless. I watch how fast they iterate on feedback.

Speed matters. Run a 7-day process:
→ Screen
→ Portfolio Loom
→ Live build
→ Culture pass
→ Offer

Retention starts before onboarding. Don’t inflate titles. Set scope, outcomes, growth path. Clear expectations = lower churn.

If you run an agency or early-stage SaaS, this saves you from the classic hiring trap.

You avoid the “builder in name only” mistake.

You get someone who grows with your team, not just checks boxes.

Hiring right isn’t luck. It’s process.

Margot Robbie in a bubble bath can explain lead signals better than most vendors.

Let’s make sales appealing again-not stupid.

Lead databases, intent signals, credits, technographics.

Vendors love to use these words.

They want you to feel lost. Or bored. Or even stupid.

Here’s the truth.

Lead data used to be simple.

A few big databases sold the same lists over and over.

But those lists got old. Fast.

Wrong job titles. Dead inboxes. Junk everywhere.

They call it “data decay.”

Translation? Full of crap.

Some lists are up to 60% rotten.

Sixty percent.

You pay for sales signals, you get ghosts.

And vendors keep cashing in.

They don’t care if your list is junk. They want you locked in.

But there’s a new way.

Operators like Michael Burry are shorting the old stacks.

He’s done with zombie contacts.

Now he pipes in live data from fresh sources.

Sales leaders, tech companies, Manhattan, 50+ employees.

He gets LinkedIn URLs. Real emails. Direct dials.

No more guessing.

No more paying for “exclusive” signals that are anything but.

All for less money than your last SaaS bill.

Here’s my rule:

If your lead list is old, your outreach is dead.

If your data is fresh, your pipeline is alive.

Don’t let vendors bore you into bad decisions.

Make sales fun again.

Make it smart.

10M+ impressions on LinkedIn. I built my agency from LinkedIn Content.

Sounds wild, right?

But that’s how Platinum Agency started.

No big ads. No cold calls. No fancy tricks.

Content.

That’s it.

I posted. Showed up. Told my story. Shared what worked. Shared what failed.

People noticed.

The DMs started. First, a few. Then a flood.

Deals closed.

Connections? Out of control.

I hit 10M+ impressions. Almost 22K Followers now.

But here’s the real story:

Content was the launchpad. It got me in the room with people I never thought I’d meet.

Revenue followed. Not overnight. Not magic. But consistent.

1.5 years in, I added outbound services. But content was always the engine.

Now we help founders do the same. We build their LinkedIn presence. We craft the narrative. We make sure the RIGHT people see them.

We tested every tool out there.

But Scripe changed the game for us.

Collaboration is smooth. Ghostwriting for clients is easy. Everyone stays in sync. We deliver faster. We deliver better.

Proud to be an official partner at Scripe now.

Big thanks to Carmen for running the partner cohort. If a co-founder spends time training the expert partners on their product, that's goals imo. 

LinkedIn content is not a side hustle. It’s a growth channel.

You want inbound? You want trust? You want deals?

Start posting.

Sales is evolving faster than ever. Here's where I see it heading in 2026:
 
In the past 5 years I've been watching closely, and here's what's coming for SDRs:
 
1️⃣ The Go-to-Market Engineer emerges. 
 
This hybrid role will master email infrastructure, automation, data enrichment, lead scoring, and copywriting.
 
One person with this skill set could replace multiple traditional SDRs. It might become one of the highest-paying careers in tech sales.
 
 
2️⃣ AI becomes your copilot, not your replacement.
 
Tools like Clay, Instantly, and HeyReach will be essential. But they'll augment human skills, not replace them.
 
The SDRs who learn to leverage these tools effectively will outperform everyone else.
 
 
3️⃣ Content creation becomes non-negotiable. 
 
Building your personal brand on LinkedIn isn't optional anymore.
SDRs who consistently share insights generate inbound leads while they sleep.
 
Your content opens doors your outreach never could.
 
 
4️⃣ The full-stack AE makes a comeback. 
 
As AI streamlines prospecting, we may see AEs handling the entire sales process again.
 
Finding talent who can manage both tech and closing? That's the real challenge. 
 
And it's where the biggest opportunities lie.
 
 
5️⃣ Personalization at scale becomes the standard Generic outreach is already dead. 
Tomorrow's GTM Engineers will blend AI-powered data with human creativity. 
 
The result? Hyper-relevant outreach that actually gets responses.
 
The winners in 2026 won't just be tech-savvy or people-oriented.
 
They'll be both.
 
What skills are you developing to stay ahead of this curve?

Multichannel isn’t new. But this update makes it actually usable for lean GTM teams.

I tried to run LinkedIn and email together before.

Pain.

Switch tools. Manual copy-paste. Missed replies. Data everywhere.

Now HeyReach.io talks to Instantly.ai.

No patchwork.

Here is how it goes:

- LinkedIn message goes out first.
- If no reply, Instantly emails next.
- Or flip it. Start with email, Instantly triggers LinkedIn if they open.

No lost leads.

No double work.

Everything connects.

I call this: simple stack, strong reach.

No more "What did we miss?" or "Did the follow-up go out?"

All covered.

I use this flow.

My clients use it.

It saves time. It avoids mistakes.

I wanted this for a LONG time.

Now it is here.

Founders & Sales Leads: Chasing static lists kills your pipeline.

Smart recommendations will change how you sell.

Static lists = dead data.

You don’t need more contacts — you need better timing.

Here’s what happens inside Bizzy:

Define your ICP — one line: “German IT consultancy, 20–100 employees, hiring sales roles.”

Bizzy Agent starts learning. It monitors your criteria and sends you 10–50 company recommendations weekly.

Each recommendation includes why to reach out — funding, hiring, leadership changes, tech signals.

You approve → push to HubSpot or other CRMs → start outreach.

No CSVs, no data crawling, no guessing.

You spend your time talking to the right companies — not filtering spreadsheets.

The secret:

If a company has multiple live signals → Bizzy moves it to the top.

No signals → you won’t see it.

It’s not about list volume anymore.
It’s about signal density.

Want to see the signal framework I use to qualify leads?

Comment “Signal Stack” and I’ll share the Notion playbook.

I burned through 1,000,000+ Clay credits so you don’t have to.

If Clay feels “insanely expensive”, it’s probably not Clay.

It’s your system.

When you treat Clay like magic instead of infrastructure, you burn money.

When you treat it like a system, every credit stretches 10x further.

Here’s what I learned after burning 7 figures worth of credits 👇

1 **Bring your own AI key**

Use your own OpenAI / Gemini / Anthropic key.

Default providers are convenient, but pricey. Your own key often runs at a fraction of the cost per run.

2 **Avoid native sequencers when you’re cost-sensitive**

Build in Clay, then export your table.

Upload to Instantly, HeyReach, or your sequencer of choice for outreach.

3 **Turn OFF auto-run by default**

Always build logic first.

Test 10–20 rows. Fix. Then scale.

4 **Watch credit usage like a hawk**

In table settings, monitor credits per column + total.

Kill or refactor any column that’s quietly draining you.

5 **Bring your existing tools**

Already pay for LeadMagic, Prospeo, Icypeas, etc.?

Pipe them into Clay instead of double-paying for the same enrichment.

6 **Reorder your waterfalls**

Put the cheapest providers first.

Never let the premium ones fire unless the cheap ones fail.

**7 Use external validators**

Tools like ZeroBounce can be cheaper at scale than built-in validation.

8 **Use the Clay DB, DiscoLike + Apify for lists**

Scrape company + contact lists via Apify and Clay’s database.

You’ll get the data you need without burning Clay credits on every lookup.

9 Credit Savers for Clay

$50K deals, dream candidates in my inbox, and brand partnerships (that make me feel like an influencer) -all because I built my brand.

I used to roll my eyes when people said, “Personal brand is your best investment.”

Now I’m one of those people.

Because it’s true.

No cold spam. No chasing.

People send me real money. Top candidates reach out. Brands want to work with me.

Wild.

But none of this happened by accident.

Here’s my full stack:

- LinkedIn for ideas (it’s my goldmine)
- ChatGPT to break my thoughts into angles
- Scripe to sharpen every word
- Notion as my content calendar (I hate it, but it works)
- Figma for quick design collab
- Taplio for insight and reach
- Grammarly to fix my grammar (yes, I’m German)

Every tool has a job.

Every step makes me more visible and more human online.

I share my story, not some copy-paste guru playbook.

People trust people, not logos.

That’s why deals land in my inbox, not the other way around.

I’m not chasing. I’m building.

Consistency is my superpower.

Every post, every DM, every reply-compound interest.

Building a personal brand is not about clout or likes.

It’s about trust.

It’s about being the person people want to do business with.

I’m living proof.

Reverse-engineer your ICP in 4 steps. No more guessing, just growth.

Most GTM leaders are flying blind when it comes to their ICP.

They talk personas and “sweet spots” but never check the real data.

I see it every week.

The same three mistakes:

- No closed-won deal analysis
- No interviews with the best AEs or CSMs
- No documentation of who the ICP actually is

Wild.

Here’s how I fix it with every client:

Step 1: Survey your best AEs and CSMs.

They know the patterns. They see who lights up on calls, who ghosts, which industries “get it.” I collect their feedback and upload it to Claude. You get insights that leadership can’t see from the top floor.

Step 2: Export CRM data and enrich with Clay.

I pull every closed-won. Enrich with firmographic and technographic data. Push it all into Claude. Then prompt for patterns. Top sub-industries, top locations, headcount, win reasons, and the signals that show real intent.

Step 3: Build a tiered scoring model.

Forget point systems. I use tiers. Define Tier 1, 2, 3. Map firmographic and technographic criteria. Add account-fit signals. Simple, actionable. No guesswork.

Step 4: Back-test against your closed-wons.

Run the model in Clay. See if your best clients show up as Tier 1. If not, you tweak. If yes, you double down. Spend more on Tier 1. Focus manual prospecting there. Use 1:few or 1:many plays for Tiers 2 and 3.

The model is your foundation.

Once you have it, you can build a list, track signals, and scale with confidence.

Most teams skip this.

But when you get it right, growth is not a guess.

It’s a system.

Would you try this in your GTM strategy?

Most CRMs are stuck in 2012. The future of sales is already here, and it’s smarter than you think.

Spent time with Arnaud Belinga, Co-founder of Breakcold, to break down how AI-native CRMs are flipping the script for sales teams.

We didn’t talk about “AI-powered” features that get slapped onto old tools.

We talked about real changes.

Traditional CRMs make you waste hours moving data, chasing records, fixing duplicates.

You spend more time updating fields than talking to buyers.

That is broken.

Modern sales teams need something different.

Here’s what’s happening now:

– AI-native CRMs run in the background. No more manual entry. No more dashboards that suck your energy.
– You can drive your whole workflow from LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram. The CRM listens and supports, instead of getting in your way.
– Automation doesn’t kill personalization. It makes it easier to keep every message relevant, every touchpoint sharp.
– Custom AI agents work for you. They handle research, scoring, and even first outreach. You get more time to sell, less time to babysit tools.
– Outbound is lean. You don’t chase cold leads. You let AI surface the best ones, so you focus on deals that close.

Sales is not just about more tools.

It’s about less friction, less noise, and more control.

You sell how you want, where you want.

The old CRM is a graveyard for data.

The new CRM is an engine for revenue.

That’s the shift.

Ever felt like Spongebob with your outreach? Lost. Ignored. Stressed. Under the water?

You work on the list. Refine messaging. Create A/B tests. Hit send.

Silence.

Spam folder.

No replies.

I learned it’s usually deliverability.

Quick fixes:

- Keep emails short (under 100 words)
- No links, images, or HTML
- Use spintax
- Send slow, warm up addresses
- Only your name in the signature
- Validate every email

Still going silent?

If you get 0 replies: Your emails are most likely landing in spam.

PS: To all OGs, what is your favorite episode?

How to spot if your email setup is killing your outreach results-step by step.

Most people blame their copy, their offer, or their timing when emails flop.

But the truth?
Bad deliverability ruins more deals than a boring subject line ever will.

I see it all the time:
- You send a killer sequence
- Open rates tank
- Replies disappear
- No one knows why

(Been there. Not fun.)

Here's what usually hides behind poor performance:

1️⃣ Shared IP headaches
→ You send from the same server as 200 random businesses
→ Someone else spams, your reputation takes a hit
→ Your emails land in junk, even if you do everything right

2️⃣ Messy infrastructure
→ No clear ownership
→ Hard to diagnose what went wrong
→ You spend hours chasing shadows

3️⃣ Unpredictable results
→ Some days, great replies
→ Other days, nothing
→ You lose trust in your own system

SmartServers from Smartlead change this game.

No more shared IP roulette.
No more guessing who tanked your sender reputation last night.
No more “why do my emails all go to spam?” drama.

Instead, you get:
- Dedicated sending power (your own lane, no traffic jams)
- Cleaner reputation (fewer spam signals)
- Easier troubleshooting (when the rare issue pops up, you know where to look)
- More predictable results (open, reply, conversion rates that make sense)

If your outreach feels like rolling dice, your infrastructure could be the weak link.

Hab Bizzy.ai zum ersten Mal ausprobiert. Mein ehrliches Fazit? Das erste Prospecting-Tool, das die Arbeit wirklich für dich erledigt.

Was mich überzeugt hat:

Setup: blitzschnell. Kein manuelles Listenbauen. ICP einmal definieren, und der Agent schickt dir jede Woche neue Lead-Empfehlungen.

Qualität > Quantität: Statt 10.000 Namen in eine CSV zu kippen, liefert Bizzy dir 10–50 qualifizierte Empfehlungen pro Woche – echte Unternehmen mit Kontext.

Kontext inklusive: Jedes Unternehmen kommt mit "warum jetzt" – Einstellungen, Umsatztrends, Marktbewegungen oder andere Signale, die du beim Onboarding festgelegt hast.

Tiefgehende Daten: Angetrieben von Creditsafes verifizierten Finanz- und Firmendaten, angereichert mit Ebenen aus Rechtseinheiten, Google Maps-Einträgen, LinkedIn-Profilen und Unternehmenswebsites.

Europa-Fokus & GDPR-first. Endlich eine Plattform, die EU-Compliance wirklich versteht.

Die meisten Tools verkomplizieren das Listenbauen. Bizzy nimmt dir die Drecksarbeit ab. Du loggst dich Montagmorgen ein → neue qualifizierte Leads warten → du gibst frei, pushst ins CRM, rufst an oder schreibst.

Warum ich es mag:

→ Einfaches Onboarding (ICP einmal definieren)
→ Smarte wöchentliche Empfehlungen (keine manuelle Suche)
→ Reichhaltiger Unternehmenskontext (echte Kaufsignale, Daten die über LinkedIn hinausgehen)

Wenn dir wichtig ist, ohne Chaos zu skalieren – oder Pipeline aufzubauen, ohne 10 SaaS-Tools zusammenzubasteln – probier's aus.

Want to call every prospect, not just email them? Here’s the system I use to find mobile numbers fast.

Speed matters in outbound.

If I want to reach decision makers, I can’t waste time on bad data.

I use FullEnrich to build hit lists that actually pick up the phone.

Here’s the workflow:

– Start with a name and company domain.
– Drop it into FullEnrich.
– Waterfall enrichment runs across 20+ premium data sources.
– Triple email verification means I don’t burn credits on bounced emails.
– Find verified mobile numbers, not just generic switchboards.

Simple.

Data looks messy. Names flipped, emojis in job titles, weird company names.

FullEnrich cleans it up before I even export.

Now I get direct dials and clean emails, ready for sequencing.

No more calling dead numbers.

No more guessing if the contact is real.

My CRM stays updated and fresh.

I can run outbound at full speed, knowing my hit rate goes up.

Every SDR, RevOps leader, or founder who cares about results needs this.

You want to book meetings, not chase ghosts.

I don’t trust my pipeline to luck or a single data vendor.

With FullEnrich, if the number exists, I find it.

I pay only for what I get-no wasted credits, no fluff.

Outbound gets easier when you work with better data.

If you’re still blasting generic outbound in 2025, you’re burning cash and missing deals daily.

You need to upgrade your motion if you want to win.

I sat down with Tom Veysey and he broke down 4 Clay workflows that are driving results for outbound and RevOps teams.

Job ads → instant pain-based outreach.

Track new roles in your ICP with Clay’s Find Jobs + Job Enrich. Pull the job description, map their pain to your product, and pair it with a case study. They tell you their problem. You reply with proof you solved it.

Product champions that follow you to their next job.

Upload your list of “winners.” Track when they join a new company. You get a warm door-opener, not a cold pitch. One Clay credit per signal. Easy win.

New-to-role campaigns that don’t feel creepy.

Start with Apollo for volume, clean in Clay, use Claygent and your offer PDF. Infer a pain point for every lead and match it to the right offer. Every “congrats on the new role” email hits with a real problem + solution.

RSS feed tracking = underrated GTM alpha.

Ingest RSS from Product Hunt or niche news. Score the articles. Find the right companies and buyers. Pair it with a solid email waterfall. This works for boomer industries where blasting emails fails.

If you only had 150 shots this week-who would you pick?

Most people panic at LinkedIn’s 150/week cap.

They think more volume means more pipeline.

But volume hides weak targeting.

Spray-and-pray is not a strategy. It’s a liability.

Limits force you to get sharp.

You need to know who matters.

You must watch for real signals.

You have to personalize beyond a template.

You reach only the people who fit your ICP.

That’s a gift.

When you only get 150 shots, you treat each one like it matters.

No more lazy mass requests.

No more “Hi, can I add you to my network?” with zero context.

Here’s what I do:

- I find intent-first leads.
- I stack signals like job changes, content views, and engagement.
- I only hit “Connect” when I see the right mix.
- Cold email handles the big list. LinkedIn is my sniper rifle.
- Every message is 1:1, not a numbers game.

It forces me to focus.

I know every connection is a real shot at a conversation.

No more noise. No more wasted effort.

Want to win on LinkedIn?

Stop blaming the cap.

Start using it.

What’s your favorite targeting signal on LinkedIn?

Stop burning out your main LinkedIn account. Here’s the smarter way to run big outreach campaigns.

If you’ve run cold email at scale, you know the drill:

- Buy extra mailboxes
- Warm them up
- Rotate them to dodge spam filters

LinkedIn? Until now, it’s been a different story.

One account. One set of limits. One wrong move and you risk a ban-or worse, killing your personal brand.

I’ve seen agencies and power users hit this wall again and again. You want to ramp up outreach, but LinkedIn’s rules keep you stuck in first gear.

Here’s what changes everything:

Native LinkedIn account rental.

Aimfox now lets you rent and brand LinkedIn profiles just for outreach.

Think about it:

- Multiple profiles, all managed in one place
- No more risking your main account
- Scale campaigns the way you already do with cold email

How does it work? Simple.

1️⃣ You rent verified LinkedIn accounts (no sketchy hacks, no fake data)

2️⃣ Each account gets its own ICP-focused branding
→ “Outbound Advisor for SaaS”
→ “Growth Partner for Agencies”
→ You control the message

3️⃣ Run targeted outreach at real volume-without crossing the daily limits on your own profile

4️⃣ All your campaigns, replies, and reporting-managed from one dashboard (finally, no more spreadsheet chaos)

This is the first time LinkedIn outreach has caught up with cold email playbooks.

Agencies: double your campaign capacity without burning your best asset (your face, your voice, your trust).

Solo founders: launch more tests, reach more buyers, stay under the radar.

5 Instantly workflows that save us 2 hours every day

Mina's Top 3:

1. Done-For-You setup for domains and mailboxes. Instantly handles the whole thing. Domains, mailboxes, DNS. Fully prepped. Warmup starts on day one. Sender reputation stays clean. I don’t lift a finger.
2. Scaling infrastructure the right way. One mailbox = 20–30 cold emails daily. Max 5 mailboxes per domain. That’s it. No brute force. No burned domains. More volume, less risk. Safe scaling is real.
3. Reply-based branching inside campaigns. Filter leads by opens or clicks. Trigger a new sequence for anyone showing interest. It’s smart targeting-no wasted signals. Passive leads turn into active pipeline. I see the results every week.

My Top 2:

4. Instantly Co-Pilot audits my workspace. One click. Fast deliverability insights. I can check campaign health in seconds. Top performers stand out. Underperformers get fixed. No guessing.
5. Slack notifications for replies. Positive replies hit Slack right away. Speed to lead goes up. Dopamine hits too. No more inbox hunting. Every good reply is right in front of me.

Zero stress.
Maximum output.

If you want to scale outbound and stop wasting time, start here.
