I help 6 figure founders build systems that scale. The Queen of Automation.

Technology is only good when it works.
I make it work.

Hello. My name is Meghan, and I help business owners save time and scale faster by integrating the right technology and processes. 

Systems that will scale with you as you grow.

Why should you listen to me?? (Ex-corporate girl story coming. Skip to the bottom if you want to avoid it.)

I spent 12+ years building and integrating high-performance digital transformation programs and strategies. 

Are you asking yourself, “What does that mean?” It’s a fancy word for “building a 4-million dollar funnel” multiple times...

The worst part. I can count, on one hand, the people who appreciate the sacrifices I made to make that happen.

Ultimately, regardless of the experiences and networking opportunities, it wasn't worth it.

Now, I help multi-six-figure business owners and solopreneurs crush their NET PROFIT goals by showing them how to use automation to optimize their brands' customer experiences.

💡 Why Automation Works
Automated tasks and processes will put you in the top 2% of your competitors.

Every small business owner gets stuck doing manual tasks that could be automated if they knew how.

By automating and optimizing your end-to-end user experience funnel, you take back wasted time and allow your business the ability to grow faster.

🌟 Featured Results
A recent eCommerce client came to me with an overnight “exploded growth” story. Her audience and sales grew overnight because of COVID-19, and she needed to learn how to maintain or sustain her newly acquired growth and audience.

After our first conversation, we built a growth plan, including automating tasks she had done manually. 

Her sales growth in the two months since implementing these automated systems is up 8% compared to the previous year, and she has 10k new people on her master email list!

💬. What Others Say About Me
“I’m amazed by Meghan’s vision for execution—whether from a 30,00-ft view or down to a single trigger. She can see all the different parts of a tech stack and visualize how they ALL work together to meet the business goals. So she’s not only a true Gestalt thinker, but she can hone in and then get sh*t done. She’s the real deal.”

☎️ Want To Chat?
Shoot me a message on LinkedIn, or email me meghan@meghandonnelly.com and let’s chat. I love to network and meet like-minded people.

Everyone says “sales is hard.” 

What’s hard is watching smart business owners post 800 carousels hoping someone notices them. 

That’s not a strategy, it’s begging for attention.

Let me make this really clear. 

If you’re a founder, coach, consultant, whatever title you’re clinging to, and you’re still hiding behind your content like it’s a shield, you're not building a brand. 

You're just avoiding rejection and calling it "marketing."

On the latest episode of The Queen of Automation, I brought in Charlotte Lloyd, the woman who’s been out here closing multi-six- and seven-figure B2B deals for the past two decades, with names like PepsiCo and the World Bank.

While you’re busy scheduling your next “visibility post,” Charlotte’s teaching her clients how to actually land high-ticket clients using real conversation, sales psychology, and community. 

Not hacks. 

Not templates. 

Not another AI bot vomiting into people’s inboxes.

We got raw about:

→ Why your content isn’t converting
→ What most solopreneurs get dead wrong about sales
→ Why waiting for leads is a waste of your damn time
→ And how you can run a business that sells without selling your soul

No pitch-slaps. 

No creepy follow-ups. 

No “hey girl” energy.

Just clear strategy, clean delivery, and sales that feel like service.

Charlotte dropped the kind of insight that makes you sit up, shut up, and rethink everything you’ve been doing.

So here’s your shot to stop lurking in your own business.

What’s the one thing you know you’ve been avoiding when it comes to selling,  and why haven’t you faced it yet?

I help mighty founders establish sales & marketing processes, to achieve PMF, get feedback from the market, acquire customers, drive revenue, and gain traction.

Oleg Tomenko

I recently cleaned up my CRM and was surprised to see that around 30% of the companies I discussed lead generation with in 2023 (just 2 years ago) don’t exist anymore.

Websites are down, people disappeared from LinkedIn, emails are bouncing.

They’re just gone.

I started my “solo agency” around that time, switching from a fractional role to a done-for-you model. 
I remember hearing “we don’t have the budget” a lot from these B2B founders on calls.

It was extremely hard to sell anything to them.
I even tried offering a very low-ticket service - but it didn’t work.

So I said, OK, you don’t have the budget, but you have time - let me teach you. Let’s do some sessions so you can launch outbound on your own.

But founders kept chasing shortcuts, growth hacks, and who knows what else - instead of just building a real marketing engine.

You can’t do marketing “from time to time.”
You can’t survive without marketing today. And it’s only getting more expensive.

Outbound is still the best way in B2B to generate leads, create awareness, and get market feedback. 

You can fix your bottlenecks later - but start with marketing. Invest in it.

Get more traffic first. How mighty Alex Hormozi says - just do more.

Or you’ll end up like that 30% - just gone.

Pipeline for data-heavy B2B SaaS | Instantly.ai Outbound Partner

Don’t ignore “not interested” replies.
All replies matter.

1) You should respond to every reply - even the negative ones. Algorithms don’t care if the reply is positive or negative - what matters is that there’s a conversation. That back-and-forth helps strengthen your domain reputation. (Instantly.ai AI agent is built for this.)

2) Sometimes, a negative reply can turn into a positive - or at least a warm lead. Depends on how you handle it. You can use, for example, Josh Braun’s style of objection handling. But don’t ask “May I know why you are not interested?” - that’s really annoying and accomplishes nothing.

3) A “not now” reply means you can easily re-engage in 3-4 months - and they won’t be as cold by then.
Handle all replies to show there’s a real human behind the outreach.

4) Negative replies also mean you hit the inbox - and you weren’t ignored. They’re a great source of insight too - why weren’t they interested? Look at the prospect’s data - maybe there are some common patterns.

5) If your email is well-written, the majority of your “not interested” replies will look like the ones in the attached pictures.

What’s not cool is getting no replies at all.

Instantly.ai + HeyReach.io
This is a very good model. You don't try to add everything to your product; you just integrate with existing and proven tools.

We used Clay for orchestrations like this, but now we're ready to transfer some event-based workflows, such as:

 -> Out of office
 -> Interested
 -> Not now, thanks
 -> Nurturing (that's our internal status)

Shoutout and applause to both teams!

Reach out to companies by tech stack ⚡️ (easiest flow)

The idea is simple - get the domain list, score/enrich it, then find the right people in those companies.

1. Start with the source.
For e-commerce → Storeleads.
For popular tools (like HubSpot, Pipedrive) → CompanyEnrich – gives you full company lists already using the tool.
For niche tools → BuiltWith + filtering.

🧠 Make sure your list is big enough here - no point running the whole workflow just to reach 100 people.

2. Score the domain list.
 Data’s often outdated.
 We push it into Clay → deduplicate (important!) → normalize domains → build BuiltWith links → use ZenRows to check if the tech is actually live.

3. Find people (faster way).
 Upload the validated domains to Instantly.ai SuperSearch, filter by roles, and push contacts straight into your campaign - with verified emails.

⚡ They use a waterfall method now, so it’s quick.

 Clay is great, but still too manual for simple tech-based outreach (better for trigger-based stuff).
But if you still use Clay, you'll have Linkedin of these people - don't hesitate to create a Linkedin sequence for those who don't have emails.

4. Bonus: Copywriting done smarter.
I used Instantly Co-Pilot to generate campaign copy. Just tweaked a few lines, launched the sequence, pulled the contacts.

5. Use HeyReach.io for complimentary Linkedin steps.

Easy-peasy - if you know what you're doing 😉

Cold Email mistake 6. Ignoring recipient time zones

Small detail - but it can boost replies simply because your email lands when your prospect is active during business hours.

Business inboxes are usually less crowded than the personal ones - but it’s always better to be at the top of the inbox, not buried at the bottom.

To start, divide your sending schedule into Europe, the Americas, and the Pacific. 
A more advanced approach is to use the prospect’s actual location - not just the company’s HQ. 

Some tools - like Reply - can automatically adapt to the prospect’s time zone.

I get it - people travel, work remotely, and have flexible hours. But this small adjustment might still give your results a lift.
