CEO / Co-Founder @ RevGen Labs | AI + Sales + Growth Hacking

I'm Christian, Co-Founder at RevGen Labs, a B2B lead generation agency. 

We're solving a critical problem in B2B sales: how to scale cold email outreach with purpose (not spam).

Here's the reality most revenue teams face: 

You know cold email works, but scaling it properly is nearly impossible. 

You're stuck between sending mass blasts that destroy your reputation or spending hours crafting individual emails that don't scale.

The result? Either your outreach feels robotic and gets ignored, or your team burns out trying to personalize everything manually. 

At RevGen Labs, we're building proprietary AI tools that solve the "scale vs. purpose" dilemma. Our technology helps B2B teams send cold emails that feel personal and relevant at any volume - without the spam tactics that ruin deliverability and brand reputation.

We can help you if:

• You're sending cold emails but struggling to make them feel personal at scale

• Your team is burning out trying to research and customize every single outreach

• You want higher response rates without resorting to spammy tactics

• You need to increase email volume while maintaining (or improving) quality and relevance

We've helped 50+ revenue teams transform their cold email approach from "spray and pray" to strategic, purposeful outreach that actually converts. 

If you're ready to scale your cold email efforts the right way - with purpose, not spam - let's connect.

I added 100 GTM operators to my private WhatsApp group in 3 weeks.
 
Still have room for 100 more.
 
Comment "Expand" if you want in.
 
The quality of conversations has been UNREAL.
 
-Real-time ideas, strategies, roasting :)
-Tool recommendations that save thousands per month
-Job opportunities shared before they hit LinkedIn
-LTD deals just for the group members
 
What we share:
 
>Direct intros when someone needs what you sell
>Beta access to tools before they blow up
>Weekly sessions with top experts in the B2B space
 
The vetting is still strict. 

I got 200+ comments on last post yet i added only 100.
 
If you're asking about "best subject lines" — this isn't for you.
If you're selling courses or want to pitch your services — don't bother.
 
But if you're an operator generating real pipeline from cold outbound...
 
Drop "EXPAND" below.
 
I personally review every request.

Founder of RevGen Labs | Helping businesses unlock 10x growth through growth hacking and AI

8 million people use the same sales triggers you do (and your prospects' inboxes look like a scene from The Big Bang Theory)

- You craft what feels like the PERFECT cold email...
- Mention their recent funding round 
- Mention about the new hire
- Hit send with confidence

and get absolutely nothing back

Here's why.
 
7 other people probably sent the exact same trigger-based message that morning.
 
And no one will get a response because it looks like every salesperson bought the same data package.

BUT here's what everyone misses about triggers...
 
It's not about having THE trigger. 
It's about having triggers NOBODY ELSE has.
 
While everyone's fighting over the same Apollo data points, we built what I call the "Master Trigger" system.
 
70+ unique trigger sources feeding into one engine.
 
We're not talking about the usual suspects: 

→ Funding rounds, 
→ Job changes, 
→ Tech stack updates.

That stuff's been picked clean.
 
I'm talking about triggers like...

→ Sudden spikes in organic traffic but drops in paid ad spend
→ Political campaign donations that signal budget shifts
→ Patent filings that hint at product pivots
→ Leadership speaking at conferences

(means they're thinking about specific problems RIGHT NOW)
 
Let's say you help SaaS companies with conversion optimization...
 
Instead of: "Hey, saw you raised Series B..."
 
Try: "Noticed your demo page traffic jumped 40% last month, but your trial conversion rate dropped. Most companies hit this exact wall after scaling paid acquisition..."
 
One sounds like everyone else. 

The other sounds like someone who actually KNOWS their business.
 
Want the list of 70+ unique trigger?
 
Drop "TRIGGERS" in the comments below and I'll send it over.
 
(Make sure we're connected first)

P.S. I'll add you to my free lead gen community (if you are an agency owner)

Most cold emails fail because of one stupid mistake.
 
And it's an AI mistake.
 
Most people think AI email is a copywriting problem.
 
"Help me write better subject lines."
"Make this sound more human."
"Personalize this template."
"Research this person."
 
Wrong.
 
AI email is a DATA problem disguised as a copy problem.
 
See, I've been running AI campaigns for years now and we pull 15+ data points per prospect... company growth signals, hiring patterns, tech stack changes, funding rounds, competitor moves.
 
All of that so the AI can write INSANELY good emails when it has real intel to work with.
 
And this is where everyone screws up. They feed the AI sh*tty data and expect gold outputs.
 
The real sequence looks like this:
 
Data enrichment FIRST → Context building → THEN copy generation.
 
Most people start with generic templates and try to sprinkle AI on top. That's why you get the same "I noticed you're hiring" opener that everyone's using.
 
Here's what works for us:
 
We build our data layer BEFORE we build our copy layer.
 
Examples: Patent filings. Acquisition rumors. Executive changes. Product launches. Compliance changes. Industry shifts.
 
We feed THAT to our AI and get insanely good copy.
 
So my advice?
 
Stop trying to fix your copy. Fix your data.

I've sent ~15 million cold emails in 2025 so far.
 
Yeah, you read that right. FIFTEEN MILLION.
 
And here's everything you need to know about what ACTUALLY works in 2025:

11 Cold Email Lesson 

90% of the personalized emails are just LinkedIn stalking.
 
And some people can't even stalk properly. Here's why:
 
I get pitched about 40 times a day (LinkedIn + Email)
 
"Saw you are the Founder at RevGen Labs..."
"Loved your vision for RevGen Labs..."
 
Yeah mate, I wrote that on LinkedIn. Now what?
You scraped my LinkedIn? Cool.
 
Did you scrape my problems?
No you didn't. And this is exactly what has made cold outreach BORING.
 
People follow this and when they don't get result they say "Cold outreach is DEAD"
 
Cold outreach isn't dead. Your process is. Here's what works instead:
 
SIGNAL-BASED PERSONALIZATION:
 
We built our own AI research agent that monitors these signals across our client's ICPs:
 
→ Tracks 17 different intent signals per prospect
→ Scores relevance based on timing and context
→ Writes the first line based on the highest-signal event
 
Signals like:
 
➤ They just hired their first DevOps engineer
➤ Their pricing page changed 3 times in 2 weeks
➤ They're getting roasted in G2 reviews for integration issues
 
Traditional approach: "Saw you're VP of Sales at SaaS company..."
 
Our approach: "Noticed your team's been hiring SDRs while your CEO posted about pipeline visibility issues twice this month..."
 
Because outbound isn't about writing a better line. It's about knowing something they don't.
 
This separates pros from people playing email roulette. Suddenly, mentioning their job title feels amateur compared to mentioning their actual problems.
 
What's the most obvious copy-paste job you've seen lately?

I'm sure everyone who uses Clay has somewhere along their journey binge-watched Patrick Spychalski's content... I definitely have.
 
He runs one of the biggest outbound agencies, The Kiln.
 
And next Tuesday, he's jumping into Tuesday Triggers to share his journey of starting and scaling his agency exclusively with my community.
 
Perfect for anyone thinking about starting their own agency or getting into the outbound space. He'll cover what worked, what didn't, and what he'd do differently if he started over today.
 
Tuesday Triggers, where 400+ agency owners and SaaS founders help each other out because we're all trying to figure out the same thing: how the hell do you scale outbound without losing your soul (or your sanity)?
 
In the last 30 days, we've got big hitters like:
 
• Nick Abraham
• Jesse Ouellette
• Ilija Stojkovski
• Vaibhav Namburi
 
If you're running any kind of outbound and you're NOT in this room... honestly, you're missing a lot of insider knowledge that's shaping how the top 10% agency owners actually do this stuff.

Last month I resumed Tuesday Triggers sessions and had an amazing first guest - Nick Abraham
 
And here are 5 lessons that every operator should follow:
 
1. Too many cooks kill your kitchen
 
Most agencies have account managers, GTM experts, VAs, and 10 people in one Slack channel for ONE client.
 
The winning approach --> client gets ONE person.
That person does everything --> onboarding, strategy, campaigns, reports, communication. Everything.
 
2. Simple scales, complex fails
 
When starting out, many try omnichannel campaigns with calls, emails, LinkedIn, and fancy dashboards. Complete mess. Strip it down to what actually drives results.
 
Ask yourself: "Out of all the things in here, what's actually leading to results?"
 
3. Don't wait to assess campaigns
 
Most agencies wait until campaigns are nearly done before evaluating. Change to 7 days. You know within 48-72 hours if it's going to be a winner.
 
4. Track department numbers, not individual clients
 
Weekly calls should focus only on: 

- total emails sent, 
- total replies, 
- total leads submitted, 
- email-to-lead ratio. 
 
5. Domain-level analytics save campaigns
 
Build a dashboard that shows domain performance vs. overall average. Campaign getting 1.5% reply rate looks decent, but if it's 57% worse than average - kill the domain immediately.
 
P.S. If you want to join the next Tuesday Triggers session, the link is in the comments.

How you can get companies data who got funded 3-7 days before mainstream media reports it
 
To find funded company information, the usual suspects are... 

➡️ Crunchbase notifications, TechCrunch articles, the whole ecosystem.
 
But there's a small group of operators who figured out how to skip the line.
 
They're hitting funded prospects days before anyone else knows money changed hands.
 
The secret? Public records that nobody bothers checking.
 
Here's what's happening:
 
➡️ SEC filings go live 3-7 days ahead of media coverage. 
➡️ Form D submissions are mandatory within 15 days post-funding.
➡️ But companies typically file within hours to avoid compliance issues.
 
This creates a window where the information exists... but isn't being monitored.
 
And I recently came across a post by Giorgio Zanella who created a workflow to get financial information before mainstream media providers pick it up.
 
Go follow that process and get yourself some new clients.

GTM Engineer - passionate about data DM if you have a cool API to try

💰 Funding information is so important, and still 99.9% of people get their information all at the same time when Crunchbase, TechCrunch, and other main newspapers and data providers release it.
But what if there was a way to get this information days earlier, be the first one in the market to know about it - and not have to wait for the main media providers to release it? ⚡

The SEC website is a goldmine for this type of info. I get it, they probably last updated the interface back in 2004, but differently from all the classic AI B2B SDR bla bla bla startups, their website is ugly but the product (the data) actually works, and it works great! 💎
In this video I'm showcasing how to leverage Form D on the SEC website to get financial information before mainstream media providers pick it up. I leveraged the API from https://sec-api.io/ (Data2value) to pull this data directly into Clay. 

Here's a step-by-step:
1️⃣ Gather the legal name of the company (ask Claude to create the prompt)
2️⃣ Configure and execute the API call (ask Claude how to do it - if you've never done it before, just share a few screenshots and it will tell you step by step. If it doesn't work, pass it a screenshot with the error and try again)
3️⃣ Format the result in a structured format into Clay
4️⃣ If you're serious about it and you're a real tech nerd, post it on X before anyone else

Companies are legally obligated to file this information, so you can be sure it will be on the SEC website. If you want to take this to the next level, you can automatically fetch the data using the RSS feed, but that's level 2 and we'll do it in the next video.

What are the other main use cases that you're using the SEC website for? 🚀

Sumaira Akram

A few weeks ago, I saw some BULLSH*T advice from one of the top creators in her niche.

Someone asked her, "Please give me 2 pieces of advice to grow on LinkedIn."

Her advice:

"Post more lead magnets
Join an engagement pod"

That advice only works if you measure success in dopamine points.

Real founders don't. They measure signal, trust, and deal flow.

Lead magnets don't fix a foggy message.
Pods don't make an audience care.

Real growth looks slower because it's built on clarity. 

A founder with a clear message outperforms any hack because the market knows exactly what they stand for.

Clarity creates consistency. 
Consistency builds brand. 
Brand drives demand.

If your message lands, you won't need artificial support. 

Your audience will grow because people actually want to hear from you.

Now what's your take on this?

LinkedIn social selling (content + warm outreach) partner behind $500M–$1.5B+ CEOs & Big 4 firms | Making leaders unforgettable with premium positioning

I'm 26, Gen Z, and I've broken half the "rules" women are supposed to follow by now.

You know the script we were handed:

Graduate at the right time. Pick the right degree. Land the right job. Married by 25, bonus points if you're already planning baby names by 27. Smile. Keep up. Don't fall behind.

Because if you don't hit those marks, the world has opinions. And if you're a woman, they have questions too. "How old are you again?" As if age is a deadline instead of a detail.

Here's my version (no one prepared me for):

I finished school and college early. I graduated at 22. But at 24, instead of walking into a "perfect" career, I was learning skills from scratch. At 25, I earned my first real money.

At 26, I'm raising a different kind of baby: a ghostwriting and lead-gen business while caring for my parents at home.

It's enough. It's mine.

It's a life that makes sense for who I am right now.

I'm not sharing this to say everyone needs to build something impressive by 26.

I'm sharing it because the timelines we inherited were built for someone else's priorities.

We don't move at the same speed.
We don't want the same things.

And we're not running the same race.

"Left behind" isn’t real.

It's a shadow we stop seeing once we start choosing our own pace.

See you in the workshop.

I'm doing a workshop on how to get inbound clients by Christmas using nothing but organic LinkedIn content.

I'm building a $5-figure ARR one-person business.

Breakdown:

I’ve called this little system 'The LinkedIn Client Engine'

My clients installed this (or parts of it) in their business.

At the core, it's

1 offer. 1 post. 1-10 DM conversations.

The post builds trust, DMs turn them into customers & clients, and the offer is what they buy into.

Let’s break it down.

1️⃣ → 1 post:

You pick 1 social platform (LinkedIn).

Top Funnel: (1x a week)

Misconceptions your customers and clients have, or you had. These build resonance. Prospects see themselves in it & feel seen.

Mid Funnel: (2x a week)

These are step-by-step breakdowns of how you do things (this post is an example). What's your process and system. It shows prospects the plan on how you get from Point A to Point B.

Bottom Funnel: (1x a week)

These are case studies of your clients' work. Testimonials and raw screenshots of results. Breakdown what you did so the reader can see themselves through it. Then aim to get them off the platform and into your DMs, newsletter, or elsewhere.

Note: Be specific in your approach and show your personality.

2️⃣ → 1-10 DM conversations (5 days/week)

I send 10-20 DMs on weekdays to my profile viewers, post engagers, commenters, and connections who fit in my ideal client profile.

If I get a positive reply, I start a conversation. I ask questions to peel the onion and get to know what problem they are facing. I provide them instant solutions through 3-5 minutel ong Loom videos, text-based long answers, or voice mails.

And if they want to know more about my services, I show them my snacks (micro offers).

They buy and learn how I can help them further.

It’s easier to market to customers than leads.

3️⃣ → 1 offer

I have 1 core offer with 2 tiers of access.

Done-for-you offer, 1:1 coaching, and 1:1 consultation. The only difference is the access they get to me.

This creates a pool of customers.

Then I make customer invitations to become clients.

Phew. That was a lot to take in.

TLDR:

- 1 offer
- 1 post
- 1-10 DM conversations

Once the engine is installed, all you do is show up for 60-90 minutes/week or 15 days, and the engine takes care of the rest.

This is how I'm building my lifestyle business.

And how I'm helping founders and CEOs install parts of it to experience true leverage.

Any questions?

Now the mic is yours. 🧡

Last week was a bit crazy for me.

- Launched my first workshop

I delivered talks in many online groups. I presented to the communities. But it's the first time leading a workshop for my LinkedIn community. People showed excitement until they saw it wasn't free. $15 isn't much, but the moment money enters the chat, a few folks disappear instead of saying, "Not for me."

(Here’s the link for registration: https://lnkd.in/dp76qNqD)

- Phone chaos

I lost my old phone on Nov 2, bought the new one, and am still reaching for the old one out of habit. Someone DM'd me saying she lost hers 2 days after reading my post. We joked that we're officially in the "phone losers" club now. Not a club I planned on joining. hahaha

- And the weather changes

I had the flu for 3 days. Cold breeze, dry cough, and foggy brain. Winter announces itself with zero grace. A runny nose was like a challenge for me. ah

- Quite weekend mode

Finished some workshop tasks. Took my mom for her monthly checkup. Took half Friday and the full Saturday off. Rest. Medical checkup. Medicine. Recharge. Planning. Worked on Sunday. Wrote 4 posts for this week. Collected some more ideas. Wrote them down before they faded.

That's pretty much it.
Just life doing its thing.

How was your last week? Is it crazy or relaxed?

I've learned something about converting $4-figure clients through LinkedIn DMs.

It never comes from the message you send.

It comes from the space you create before that message.

When someone connects with me, I don't jump straight into their inbox. I wait 7–14 days, engage with their posts, and warm up the relationship before reaching out. This builds familiarity before I ever send a DM.

When I open the conversation, it's never about my offer. I ask what they're working on, what they're achieving, and where they're stuck. This gives me context before I even think about pitching.

As we go deeper, I listen for pain points, especially around how they use LinkedIn for client acquisition. It’s like peeling an onion: every question brings us closer to the real problem underneath.

Once they open up, I share insights according to their situation. The goal isn't to "sell", it's to help them solve part of the problem right there in the chat. That’s where trust gets built.

When the timing feels right, I share my G-Doc offer. It lays out my services clearly and lets them decide if now's the time to fix their problem with me. No pressure. Just clarity.

DMs don't convert because you push.

They convert because you listen.

PS. How do you convert clients from LinkedIn DMs?

I share behind-the-scenes lessons on client acquisition through LinkedIn like this. Follow me, Sumaira, if you want to see more.

3 weeks ago, I ran a poll on LinkedIn.

69% of votes were for generating more leads.

In the DM conversations, B2B founders open up about not getting inbound leads while posting more content.

Here’s the reality:

Inbound demand doesn't come from posting more.
It comes from posting what ideal clients actually trust.

Here’s the pattern I see with the B2B founders:

They're not trying to "get clients."
They're trying to shape the category they sell into.

Their content isn't flashy.
It's clear. It’s grounded.

And it speaks to the buyer's worldview.

Because of that, inbound isn't random.
It's predictable.

One founder I work with went from "LinkedIn feels dead" to taking weekly calls with people who already wanted to work with him.

And no, his posts didn't go viral.

But his message finally aligned with what his market truly cared about.

That's the inbound demand engine.

Align the message → build the trust → attract the right clients.

PS. Workshop: How to get inbound clients on LinkedIn will be held today at 3 PM UK. Registration closes at 12 PM UK. Comment or DM 'IN', if you want to join.
