What I'm looking for
I'LL MAKE YOU RICH!
Actually, I won't, and neither will anyone else who promises you that.
Hi, I DON'T COLD CALL!
I've generated over $2 million in sales and set high-quality appointments for founders, SaaS startups, and CEOs focused on bootstrapping to enhance sales and build strategic relationships. My approach focuses on nonintrusive, value-driven outreach, leveraging social selling via LinkedIn and strategic messaging using cold email to connect with decision-makers. I do not second-guess; there is no trial and error.
With my deep understanding of psychological triggers, I tailor each message to resonate with your unique Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). I also use Clay to enrich and verify lead data, track buying signals, and surface high-intent prospects, so outreach is always relevant and timely.
Automation Tools/CRM Expertise: Reply.io, Heyreach, Trigify, Clay, Make, Smartlead, Lemlist, Instantly, Baseloop, HubSpot, Notion, Salesforce, Waalaxy, Dripify, ExPandi, Swarm for finding connections, and more.
