Today, it’s my 9 years anniversary in Singapore.

I never planned this. 👇 


December 2016, I told my parents: “1 or 2 years. Max.”

Classic lie.

Why I stayed?

Because Singapore quietly checks every box.

• Career acceleration 
• Global friendships 
• Insanely convenient 
• Asia at your doorstep 
• Built for business 
• Green, clean, structured 
• Sport is a lifestyle, not a slogan 
• Big city benefits, without the problem of a big city

You don’t fight the city. The city works with you.

I just spent a month in Europe (Brittany + Madrid).

Best moment? Landing at Changi.

That feeling of: “I’m home” is just magic

My Singapore timeline:

2017 (Jan) — Packed my life from France 
2017 (Jan–Nov) — Rocket Internet 
2017 (Nov) — Accelerasia 
2020 (Jan) — Left Accelerasia 
2020 (Feb–Apr) — EF 
2020 (May) — Started an outbound agency with Youssef 
2020 (Jun) — Met my wife 
2023 (Mar) — Started Scalelist 
2023 (May) — Got married 
2024 (Aug) — transition from Agency to SaaS
2025 (Sept) — Sold The Scalelab 
2026 (Jan) — 100% focused on Scalelist

On paper: 9 years.

In reality? Feels like a lifetime of learnings, failures, wins, friendships, and reinventions.

Deeply grateful to still be here. Genuinely excited for what’s next on this tiny island.

Sometimes you don’t choose a place. The place chooses you.

PS: The picture was taken in Pulau Ubin (small island facing Singapore) in Jan 2017.

Help B2B Sales teams find the best email addresses and mobile numbers worldwide.

Since 2015, I’ve opened every cold call with the same line.
(And yes — it still works in 2026.) 👇 

Script:

- Prospect: “Allo?”
- Me: “John?” (or whatever your prospect’s first name is)
- Prospect: “Yes.”
- Me: “This is Arnaud from Scalelist, how are you doing?”

That’s it. Simple. Human. Natural.

From there, the replies are almost always one of these:

- “Arnaud from where?”
- “Good, and you?”
- “What is this regarding?”
- “Scale—what?”
- “Is this a cold call?”

And so on…

The secret? Repetition. You don’t get better at handling these without hearing them again and again. (I’ll break that down in another post.)

But if you want to boost your results right now:

1- Get mobile numbers from Scalelist.
2- Call on WhatsApp. People pick up more often there.
3- Smile. (Yes, they hear it in your voice.)
4- Be confident.
5- If they hang up, keep smiling. Then dial again.

Cold calling isn’t dead.

It just requires consistency, confidence, and the right opener.

PS: Show you an example of how I use that script into the video below 👇

Last night at 10:27 PM. Toothbrush in mouth.
A roofing company sales leader in Florida just bought a 50k credits Scalelist plan ($549/month) 👇 

I immediately:

- Stopped brushing my teeth
- Emailed the client

Priorities.

Why?

Because I want to understand:

- what pushed him to subscribe
- what they need beyond valid emails & mobile numbers
- how their sales + marketing teams are structured
- what their 2026 (and beyond) plan looks like
- why a company outside our top 10 industries picked one of our biggest plans

During the Christmas break, I reflected on 2025.

And I realised something simple.

What gives me the most energy isn’t dashboards or features:

It’s talking to people.

Learning how Scalelist is actually used.

- What clients love.
- What frustrates them.
- What we should do differently.
- That’s the part of the job I enjoy the most.

Very excited for 2026.

PS: If you need really good emails and mobile numbers to prospect, you know where to find Scalelist.

I’m not into "productivity hacks".

But this simple one changed how I'm starting working in 2026 👇 


Use a chess clock when I work.

- One side = real, focused work
- The other = everything else (meetings, context switching, scrolling, “being busy”)

At the end of the day, I see the truth.

Did I actually get 4 hours of deep work or not?

- It’s simple.
- It’s brutal.

I love it.

I don’t even need a physical chess clock. The price of a physical one starts at 19 USD on Amazon. 

I looked for a digital one:

1- Open the App Store
2- Search “chess clock”
3- Pick any app

That’s it.

If you already do this — or plan to try it — like the post.

Ps: each clock on both side starts at 4:00 hours. My objective is to reach 0:00 on the green side every day and be super honest about it.

Let AI do the heavy lifting for your Revenue.

Your sales team is drowning in manual tasks: prospecting, lead research, CRM hygiene. 
They’re busy, but not productive. And your pipeline shows it.

Every hour wasted on boring and tedious tasks is a deal not closed.
You’re paying top talent to do what AI could handle in seconds. 

Meanwhile, your competitors are already automating and scaling with precision. 
Fall behind, and it’s game over.

TC9 builds AI-powered GTM engines that do the heavy lifting, so your team can focus on closing, not clicking. 

We blend strategy, automation, and intent signals to unlock growth at scale.
No fluff. Just efficiency at every level.

Everyone's learning AI tools.
Few are picking the right ones.

I burned hours on the wrong apps so you won't have to.

Your LinkedIn inbox is a graveyard of bad pitches.
Your email inbox is even worse.

The reason is painfully simple:

Most salespeople skip the ONE step that makes or breaks their outreach.

Targeting.

That's how I end up getting pitched on "growing my healthcare center."

I don't have a healthcare center.
(And neither do 99% of the people they're emailing.)

This isn't just lazy. It's burning money and reputation with every send.

Don't be that rep.

Here are 11 ChatGPT prompts to nail your targeting before you hit send:

11 ChatGPT Prompts to Target the Right Prospects

Most sales teams are running on a treadmill, not building pipeline.

Campaigns are the problem. And it's by design.
You launch, spike, then start over.

In 2026, GTM systems change everything.

Campaigns are time-boxed and resource-heavy.
They spike activity, then vanish completely.

GTM systems do not launch, they live.

Always-on outreach triggered by real signals.
Integrated with your CRM and content engine.

Systems use behavior-driven automated triggers.
Systems self-optimize instead of rebuilding.

Systems reduce rep time significantly.
They work while you sleep, built for ops.

→ Stop saying "Let us launch something this quarter".
→ Start saying "Let us plug this into our GTM engine".

Layer intent signals into your existing flows.

Build the system once.

Let it scale forever!

Ditch Campaigns, Embrace Systems

Systems scale. Humans don't. 
But without humans, systems have nothing to scale.

Most GTM strategies are broken.
Reps improvise. Automation spams.

The fix → Know when to use each.

1️⃣ - ICP Targeting & Lead Research 
Humans sharpen positioning and define the market. 
Systems source, filter, and scale your reach.

2️⃣ - Message Strategy & Personalization 
Humans build the story and emotional hooks. 
Systems adapt and distribute them everywhere.

3️⃣ - Outreach Execution 
Humans shape voice and escalation frameworks. 
Systems run multi-channel sequences nonstop.

4️⃣ - CRM Integration & Signal Sync 
Humans architect lifecycle stages and handoffs. 
Systems track replies, update stages, auto-score leads.

5️⃣ - Pipeline Monitoring & Optimization 
Humans analyze, iterate, and develop teams. 
Systems flag friction points and fire workflows.

GTM doesn't work with humans alone. 
It doesn't work with systems alone either.

It works when you split the right tasks at each stage. 

Humans own the signal. 
Systems own the scale.

That's the Human GTM Engine.
