What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to innovate in sales automation and collaborate with dynamic teams to drive growth.

I am a B2B sales automation expert with over 3 years of experience in implementing AI-supported outbound systems and go-to-market strategies. My specialization lies in significantly increasing response rates and building sales pipelines that have approached $700k through targeted outreach methods including email, LinkedIn, and video. I have hands-on experience in Clay.com workflows, mailbox management, and CRM data enrichment, allowing me to manage projects effectively from lead generation to strategic partnership creation.

As the founder of Asphia Consulting, I successfully delivered more than 10 GTM and outbound projects across various industries, achieving a client ROI greater than 5x and nearing a $1M sales pipeline. My work has involved engineering complex workflows using over 100 data points per prospect, which has resulted in a 2-3x boost in reply rates. I am passionate about leveraging technology to enhance sales processes and drive results, and I thrive in environments where I can lead teams and innovate strategies.
