Founder, Marketing

growing beehiiv, the world's most powerful newsletter software

I’m Daniel Berk: beehiiv’s first sales hire-turned-strategist, cofounder of Palmetto Parents, and cohost of the Two Dads in Tech podcast.

From day one at beehiiv, I built our outbound sales engine—recruiting and coaching AEs, exceeding pipeline targets, and architecting GTM plays that grew revenue from under $1M ARR to over $15M ARR and established us as an industry leader.

As a startup and newsletter advisor, I’ve helped founders refine product-led growth initiatives, dismantle organizational silos, and develop targeted go-to-market strategies.

I specialize in combining disciplined sales processes with data-driven content marketing to drive customer acquisition, boost engagement, and deliver sustainable revenue growth. I also produce content for companies pursuing strategic partnerships and advise a limited number of ventures, selecting engagements to match my available bandwidth. 

Outside of work, I am a husband to my incredible wife and a father to two amazing boys.

If you’re ready to scale your newsletter, sharpen your GTM motion, or accelerate your startup’s growth, let’s connect.

When it’s end of quarter and you work in remote tech sales

I was fired from AWS today. I managed the uptime reliability pipeline.

Apparently the “global outage” was traced back to a Slack poll I created titled “should I restart prod?” (52% yes).

They said my leadership caused “unprecedented global disruption” and “a minor satellite realignment.”

Taking some time to reflect before exploring new opportunities.

Going viral isn’t all it’s chalked up to be.

 Here’s what really happens when your post blows up:

- A wellness coach from Bali DMs you: “Let’s collab 🌿” They want you to post for free.
- 47 people comment “So true” but they're all bots.
- LinkedIn denies you a Top Voice badge even though you've asked them dozens of times.
- A stranger tags Gary Vee, says "Agree?"
- Your cousin from Ohio texts: “Are you famous now?” (Doesn't realize you have been for years)
- You refresh notifications for hours and your iPhone starts to feel really warm.
- A recruiter messages you about an exciting new franchise opportunity in your area.
- Someone screenshots your post, adds “this ain’t it chief”. Their post goes viral off your post.
- You get one new follower. His name is John. He sells lead gen software. Doesn't have a profile picture.

Do not go viral if you want to be successful. 

Instead never post. Never engage. Quietly play the background as though you never existed in the first place. Quit your job, change your name, move to a new country. Stop trying. Give up. 

Follow me Daniel Berk 🐝 for more inspiring alternatives to going viral.

Happy Friday, everyone! If you find yourself getting stuck or discouraged, remember that the average person only works 40-45 years in their 9-5 career, so only 90,000 hours, give or take a few thousand.

You got this.

Try this in your next email sequence around email 11 or 12 and watch it work like magic.

New profile picture, please like and comment to boost my self esteem.

Find someone you love, marry them, and then never stop going on dates and being romantic.

I’m tryna see something…

Today I had five calls with five different large opportunities, all of which would be career defining in their own unique ways.

It's interesting when you work somewhere for years at a time, and see it grow from tiny to large to generational. 

So many hours and late nights go into building something successful, and when that hard work starts to turn around and give back it's very surreal.

beehiiv is about to have a generational run.

If you’re up scrolling this god forsaken platform instead of sleeping like a tiny little baby on this night the 16th of october of the 2,025th year of our Lord, react to this post.

I’m tryna see something…

I kinda want to start a massive group text without any direction and see what vibes happen.

Can’t be too organized. No channels.

But can’t be too chaotic. Gotta have some guardrails.

But also not too many guardrails.

Professional? Sure.

Personal? Definitely.

Memes, laughter, vulnerability— everything that makes us human.

I hate telegram and signal and discord so kinda want a humongous group text.

But also privacy is a problem. 

Anyway, who wants to be part of the largest group text in the world?

“It’s a marathon, not a sprint.”

- person who has not run a marathon, and hasn’t sprinted in 25 years.

I just created a 5 part email + phone call sequence with 3 different qualified segments in C-suite, VP, and Director level lists, all with my exact ICP.

All in 5 minutes.

And I didn’t even have to build anything by myself. I just told a chatbot what I wanted. And it worked.

I literally watched the bot create the sequence, complete with email copy, cold call instructions, and it identified gaps in my instructions with a line of questioning for me to improve every part.

IN 5 MINUTES.

I did this all with Apollo brand new AI Assistant, the world's first end-to-end GTM AI Assistant. 

Apollo combines the best of all the leading LLMs to perform deep research directly within Apollo for account list building, sequence creation, workflow building, and more.

It’s a perfect tool bridging the complexity of proper outbound workflows with the salesperson who simply doesn’t have the resources (or know how) to build it all from scratch.

Total game changer. AI is changing things before our eyes.

Every month beehiiv gives its employees a day off, called “monthly wellness day”

12 days per year built into the calendar just to recuperate and strike a healthy balance in life.

Today is my monthly wellness day, and I enjoyed a 9 mile run through the River Arts District in Asheville, NC.

This is an area in Asheville that was completely decimated by Hurricane Helene last year, and the juxtaposition of beauty and nature at the center of loss and heartache was palpable.

Going outside and doing hard things really puts life into perspective.

Happy Friday ✌️

I just learned about a niche, new indie artist who released her very first album today.

Her name is Taylor Swift.

If she stays consistent, builds a community, and maybe experiments with TikTok, she might have a shot at making it.

My advice to her if she wants to become successful:

- Play small venues to get reps in.
- Drop some singles on SoundCloud.
- Cold DM bloggers to review her stuff.
- Open for much bigger artists like Jason Mraz.

She’s got potential.

But potential doesn’t pay the bills and the sooner she realizes that the better chance she'll have to make music her full time gig.

Let’s see if she really wants it.
