Saturday shoutout to the incredible customers we get to build with at Apollo 👏

“Apollo is the best, most holistic, most well-rounded tool we can live in. We genuinely can’t do our jobs without it.”

Hearing feedback like this never gets old. It’s a powerful reminder of why we do what we do—and how much trust our customers put in us every day.

This is also a perfect example of the GTM + AM partnership in action: listening closely, iterating fast, and building alongside our users to solve real problems. Thanks Anna Lee Webster!  

Huge thanks to the team at Sesami for the continued partnership and for keeping us honest (and for continuing to lobby whoever controls the checkbook 😄). We immensely appreciate you ❤️

Kicking off 2026 with some really great customer conversations already 🚀

I love sharing my perspective as a GTM Engineer and helping teams see how small tweaks—smarter workflows, AI-powered research, and our AI Assistant—can transform their day-to-day in Apollo.io.

I’m also excited to meet with more customers over the coming weeks and showcase some of the real work our AI team has been building—especially with the official launch of AI Messaging 4.0.

A few highlights from the video below 👇
 • Turn prospecting → fully personalized, multi-channel sequences in under 10 minutes
 • Use the Apollo AI Assistant to instantly generate 6-step sequences (email, calls, LinkedIn)
 • Power everything with the Content Center — the foundation for consistent, on-brand AI messaging
 • Run deep company + executive persona research automatically (no copy/paste, no open-web rabbit holes)
 • Deliver messaging that actually looks like you tried — competence-assumed, no AI fluff
 • Preview and scale highly personalized outreach across accounts in minutes, not hours

This is about helping teams move faster without sacrificing quality or authenticity. Huge kudos for René Cobar & the AI team in this launch!

DM me if you want to see this in action or have any questions!

Come work with one of the best Marketers in the business Katie Parkes & for a company that is changing the way teams approach GTM at Apollo.io. DM myself or Katie if you are interested in the role!

You’ll build credibility, community, and pipeline, and continue to turn creator marketing into a meaningful growth lever for Apollo.

Founder 

Building P3 Recovery using the exact principles I teach in the Growth Forum Sales OS Program & Community.

Selling goes beyond an exchange of money for a product or service.

Far beyond.

Done right, selling is about creating an experience and an interaction that leaves both the buyer and seller feeling amazing.

This realisation completely changed my career. Because sales at its core is about heart and soul.

Here’s why:

Every sale comes down to a better outcome by way of a unique value narrative, deeper relationships, a greater sense of understanding between people and a purpose-driven sales culture.

This approach creates a… transformation…a positive impact… a better result.

Each sale presents a challenge. And each challenge provides me with an opportunity to learn and grow.

I’m not a guru or someone who sells as a side hustle.


It’s why I work with sales professionals and companies to create solutions that allow sellers the platform that enables them to reach their fullest potential…

… and with individual contributors in search of an environment and community that supports them so they can improve and grow as well.



► WHAT SETS ME APART FROM OTHER SALES COACHES?

For starters, 

I’m in the trenches every day, just like you… building relationships, gaining customers, and creating a greater sense of understanding between people by using a unique value-driven narrative.

I’m a practitioner.
I live and breathe sales.
I operate by the same principles I teach.

And they work.

These are the same principles I used to create massive impact for my clients.


I’ve worked with the most highly respected brands in the world, including: Stripe, Vanilla Soft, F45 Training, Agorapulse and HubSpot.

► THE RESULTS

Here’s what some of them said about my training:

"I would highly recommend Luigi and the team. They are knowledgeable practitioners that are easy to work with and, after just a few weeks, have made a massive impact."

Katie Swick
Global Sales Enablement Lead - Stripe

***

"Thank you Luigi for sharing your perspective. Your passion, experience and knowledge clearly shows through during our sessions. Thank you for motivating our team and sharing key learnings to accelerate growth. I strongly recommend Luigi to partake in sales enablement activities to support in achieving sales objectives".

Filippa Rusec - Chief Commercial Officer - DB Schenker.

Now I am using these skills to build P3 Recovery using the exact principles I teach in the Sales OS program by Growth Forum.

Co-Founder Growth Forum

Growth Forum is a community unlike anything you have experienced.
We aren’t concerned about getting the largest number of people. We’re focused on helping you, an individual, connect and engage with like-minded people in a handful of specific areas.

It’s why we’ve divided Growth Forum into four specialties. 

SALES
MARKETING
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

You’re free to bounce around from one to the other (who says sales and marketing can’t get along?) or stick with one.
