Founder @ SmartLead | 1x Exit | Always Hiring The Best

I like buying coffees, leading passionate people and building great products - FAST.

I'm recommended by C - Level Execs of Billion $ companies, I've been given prestigious awards and lost my hair in doing so.

I started Five2One in May 2017 with $500 and grew it to 7 figures and 10 team members in 11 months & 28 days (the day I closed the deal that got us the 7 Fig mark)

I started & sold Cenario.co 1.5 years post the pandemic outbreak.

I started SmartWriter in June 2021, grew it to 14,000 users including Facebook, Stripe & VaynerMedia.

I started Smartlead in June 2022, currently (Aug) at 6,000 accounts.

We've been recognised as one of the best in Australia and have built 62 production-grade applications for start ups and corporates.

I've worked with The UN, PwC, NewsCorp, Carsguide, AutoTrader, IAG, WilliamHill, Maoneng, SocietyOne, Lumachain, UNSW, Archistair and many other multi-(b)million dollar companies.

I have taught at 2 software bootcamps on how to build quality software products in various technologies and authored 3 courses on Udemy that gained nearly ~35,000 students online.

I've spoken internationally and nationally at over 46 events from meetups to paid conferences.

We've helped clients raise Millions in blockchain and worked with companies that are changing the world as we know it.

During this time I learnt how important having a strong team (that aligns with you) is, how important it is to believe in yourself and to enjoy what you're doing.

I still forget to put semi-colons and eat dessert before the main course.

I'm now building what I've wanted to from the beginning - our own products (smartwriter.ai, smartlead.ai)

You'll often find me on stage sharing advice and tips on bootstrapping a B2B business to talks on AI's position in the future, the best software development and product growth tactics.

I've been called a tech lead, CEO, CTO, coder, engineer, founder, leader, coffee buyer, non-sleeper and many other things -no one seems to realise i'm an excellent singer 😂

I've had the amazing opportunity to mentor for world-class accelerators like Startmate, Antler UK, Incubate, UNSW Founders and Australia's largest VC fund Blackbird as a Giant

I can be your "thought leader" too, just beware that I think a lot about potatoes

So, you've read this far ... coffee?

I don't think people understand. Building a growing business was never about code.

It's about grit. Doing a meticulous grind, obsessively, while the world moves ahead of you, year after year.

Promising yourself "one more time". When there's no steam left, but somehow you need to build back up, again and again and again.

A conversation last week sparked a thought, and coincidentally as I was using Claude Cowork to do some analysis, I found this document I wrote to myself in 2019 (PS I carry this in my wallet, those who know, know).

Fun fact.

I missed EVERY. SINGLE. TIMELINE.

Not even by an inch, or a mile, but probably a 100 miles.

Then the second one I missed by 80 miles.

The third by 50 miles.

The fourth by 20 miles.

Failed 11 ecommerce brands.
Flowyse didn't make 0.00001% of that
Failed Forbes 30U30 4 times in a row, year after year.
Was renting in 2021.
Didn't own a Tesla.
Was definitely a multi-thousandaire 😅
Was barely paying myself a salary in 2021 forget the revenue
I was living in my sister's & brother in laws house in 2022.

Things don't always go according to your plan.

But that is no excuse to not stop.

Last week could have been bad. It's your responsibility to make the next week better.

PS yes I had all the way till 2023, but that was too embarrassing to share haha

This eventually led to Smartlead - whose numbers will be a guess till I die, those who know, know tho. 😉

So yes, atleast in my perspective (i may be wrong), business was NEVER about "coding" apps, respectfully that was the most predictable part.

5 Webinars averaging ~1000 registrations every 1.5 weeks.

Super proud of the Smartlead team for absolutely crushing the office hours we've been doing.

Had one of the most fun office hours with Kellen Casebeer and Ilija Stojkovski on everything LinkedIn and how to ACTUALLY sell

Not some BS advice on "do multi-channel"

The team's working on trends, social collaboration and strong relevance!

Drawing in that type of crowd week on week is a testament to the work the entire team is doing collectively on all fronts!

From collaborations, social assets, content and topics and event managament - lets go!

Sanjana Kotak Devesh Srivastava Priya Prasad Alka Gupta and everyone else🚀🚀🚀

You'll NEVER see me tag or talk bad about a business publically but sometimes things need to be called out.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) we spend multiple 7 figures a year on your infra.

You have ridiculously horrible support which we again pay for...

And to top it off your team takes very little accountability on issues caused by your team, which your team's admitted to as well.

Matt Garman you'd have gotten a DM from our head of eng with more detail.

Sincerely,
One of your largest APAC customers (per your accounts team)

I Empower Businesses To Confidently Sell Their Service While Building Brand Authority on Auto Pilot - Without Needing New Systems or Waiting Months to See Results

If you can't show your future customers how your coaching/consulting service is different in under 90 seconds, then you have an online-selling problem I can solve.

After helping Coaches break past their growth ceiling over the last 5 years, here's what I've learned:

Most Coaches struggle with getting new customers online because their marketing doesn't have the right trust-building components.

So with all the noise, future customers online don't see their real value.

This leads to inconsistent sales and mostly attracts price-focused customers.

If these businesses simply had the right assets to capture attention and build trust ...

... they’d get steady sales and only attract people who are serious about working with them and can afford it.

If this is a struggle for your business, I'll install these 4 pillars into your business:

⏯ 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: I’ll refine your message and offer to make it stand out even if you're in a saturated niche.

⏯ 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬: I’ll make video assets that will pre-sell your service 24/7 on all platforms for years to come. All while building mass brand goodwill on auto-pilot.

⏯ 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: Finally I’ll build conversion systems that will squeeze the most out of your marketing budget.

⏯ 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: For clients who are ready to grow fast, I'll set up and launch your client-getting Facebook ads to generate highly qualified leads, appointments and sales on auto-pilot.

              𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐭?
Here are some of the benefits of owning this system

→  Have a powerful sales message you can use forever on all channels to get new customers
→  Have a sales pipeline that consistently feeds you with prospects who want to work with you and can afford it
→ Increase your sales conversions rates by attracting more educated prospects
→ Free up 100s of hours of low level tasks so you can focus more on working on the business
→ You’ll have  a unifying message your customers and staff can get behind. 

Ultimately you’ll go from being just a commodity to being a brand that charges the prices they deserve and who get to cherry pick their clients.

All while consistently having a sales pipeline full of qualified leads already pre-sold on your service.

        𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭?

Rather than locking you into endless long-term contracts, I'll build this growth system into your business. 

That way, it's yours to keep forever. 🚀💼

	𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩?
If you're a Coach looking to grow, then either leave me a message or email me for quick responses.
