Acquire.blue

Acquire.Blue is a passion project that allows me to freely explore, split test, and make a difference in other entrepreneur's lives all at the same time.

In layman's terms: "It is a lead-generation agency".

In reality: It is a magical bridge between products, services, and the people who consume them and sell them.

Co-Founder

Cognitive Tech.

In late 2019 I took 5 different mastery courses on Facebook Ads. I decided that this would be the channel I would focus on for the entire year since it was the one with the highest ROAS (Return On Ad Spend) by far.

This allowed me to man the role of FB Ads manager at Cognitive.Tech - A software company based out of Los Angeles that is building micro businesses with the help of AI.

Main Highlight:

Grew our marketing list from 0 to 163,000+ people in less than 3 months using only FB Ads and the power of email funnels.

Facebook Ads Manager

Power Up Hosting

The first time I learned about marketing was when I started working at Power Up Hosting in 2018.

I had proven myself to be an effective salesman for an entire year, but that was not enough. I wanted to learn what went on behind the scenes with the marketing guys.

Why they do things the way they do them, what are some of the strategies they use to get people's attention, and so on.

Key Highlights:

Grew brand awareness from 2 main engagement points to 25. Increased marketing ROI by 30X implementing giveaways, referral programs, and building an affiliate network.

Sales and Marketing Agent

Host The Name, Inc.

My first sales job.

I learned how to do proper prospecting, finding leads for our business and generating sales calls.

It was a lot of fun and a great first step in what would become a full-fledge career in sales and marketing.

Main Highlight:

Grew MRR from $3,000 to $15,000 within the first 6 months using social selling through forums.

Sales Agent

I'm an entrepreneur at heart, born and raised for the thrill of the grind. It's been 20-something years I've been on this planet, and let me tell you, it's been a wild ride!

I started as a "sales guy" at my brother's web hosting company. I didn't know it at the time, but that one summer working with people who have built multi-million dollar businesses would change me for the rest of my life. I've learned the power of storytelling, the principles of influence, and, best of all... that you can succeed in business while remaining ethical within your craft.

That last bit was important to me... which is why I took all of the techniques learned throughout years of growing a multi-million dollar web hosting business and then I built my own venture. In late 2019 (right before The Pandemic) I set out to fulfill my dreams of becoming a full-time entrepreneur and founded my first startup, Acquire.Blue

I bet you've never heard of it.

And that is because we (my partners and I) took a completely different approach to building this business. Instead of asking people for their hard-earned money, we've set out to make people money. And when you do something like that, people will come to you and recommend you over and over again.

So from the moment we started until today, we make a great passive income while helping a select group of people book more demo calls, hire better talent, set up more investor pitch meetings, and overall, grow their businesses.

You've found what you're looking for :)

Power Up Hosting, Inc.

Founder, CEO

Corporate Net Solutions

Experienced COO in the SaaS industry with a focus on operations, sales, and marketing. Eager to connect with like-minded professionals and always open for a thoughtful discussion. For a deeper dive into my journey and expertise, feel free to read on.

A first-generation immigrant turned serial entrepreneur, I embody the concept of self-made success. 

From launching my first venture at 19 to co-founding multiple successful software companies, I've explored various niches in the digital space, always leaving a significant footprint behind.

With an entrepreneurial journey that started in web hosting with businesses like Host The Name and Power Up Hosting, I found my calling in the SaaS industry. Teaming up with my best friend and business partner, Udit Goenka, and later our CTO Lukas Liesis, we embarked on a mission to revolutionize the SaaS landscape with Little SaaS, a company that has given birth to innovative platforms such as PitchGround.com and FirstSales.io.

PitchGround.com serves as a bridge between SaaS founders and their first 1,000 users, while FirstSales.io – a cold email outreach automation tool – is increasingly becoming the software of choice for modern B2B sales professionals. Our vision with FirstSales.io is to make sales automation more efficient and effective, drawing from our technical background to create innovative solutions that evolve with the industry's demands.

As a COO managing multiple projects, I've faced challenges and celebrated wins, but one motto always guides me: "Always keep moving forward with Empathy for others and yourself." This belief is reflected in my approach to work and leadership. It's also shaped my expertise in areas like Cold Email Copywriting, Sales Funnel Strategy, Pipeline Building, Revenue Growth, and Management of Sales, Marketing, and Software Development Staff.

Aside from my business endeavors, I'm also a mentor for young entrepreneurs through the Forbes Business Council. It gives me great satisfaction to witness businesses grow and surpass their potential via platforms like PitchGround and FirstSales.io.

Looking to connect with like-minded professionals, potential collaborators, and anyone interested in transforming the world of SaaS.

If you are a sales professional in the B2B space, FirstSales.io is worth a look. Automation is key to growth in this space, and FirstSales has it covered.

If you are a SaaS founder looking for traction for your project, contact me on LinkedIn, and let's chat. I'd love to hear more about your project and help you get your first 1,000 users. 🚀
