I was Humaniti's first technical hire where I built the dev. team from scratch.  We released MVP (desktop) in 5 months, and then added mobile (iOS & Android) 6 weeks later.

Next phase was to take ownership of our internal processes and procedures.  I implement traditional Software Development practices (SCRUM etc.) and fill the product pipeline.

From there my focus was on scale & growth - increase velocity (more features more often) while reducing bug count,

Tech stack is AWS, Python, Angular & ionic with Postgres & Snowflake.

Data Team Leader (Publishing)

I help teams ship software that actually works - scalable, maintainable, and built to last. 

With 25+ years in tech, I’ve seen every software disaster imaginable - from legacy code, nobody dares to touch to cloud migrations that “should be easy”. My job? Keep teams focused, stakeholders informed, and software delivered- while still being hands one and without unnecessary drama.

My expertise is modernising legacy systems, integrating cloud solutions, and leading teams through complex software transitions. I’ve worked in startups, government, and large enterprises, where I focus on removing bottlenecks, streamlining development, and helping all do their best work.

Great software is as much about people as it is about technology. A good plan, clear priorities, and a team that understands the goal make all the difference. Whether it’s technical strategy, stakeholder alignment, or making tough decisions that keep projects moving, I thrive in bringing structure and clarity to software delivery.

X27: B2B Digital Marketing Agency

As the Chairman and driving force behind X27, I've led our team in redefining B2B lead generation by harnessing the power of outbound marketing to secure high-value clients for agencies and SaaS companies alike. Our tailored strategies have consistently delivered extraordinary results, enabling our clients to unlock their full growth potential.

One of our greatest success stories involves a B2B client who, despite having a strong word-of-mouth client base, struggled to grow. After a comprehensive analysis, we identified that their website generated a mere 14 leads per month. Within three months of X27 managing their inbound channels, we increased their lead count to over 60 per month, equating to $9,000,000 per quarter in new leads for their sales team. Six months later, they surpassed 100 leads per month and are now on track to double their revenue and break the $10 million mark.

In another instance, we put our cold calling service to the test with an 80-person iOS development company based in NYC. Utilizing our targeted research and outreach methods, we successfully booked calls with six enterprise companies within just six days.

Join me on this journey as we continue to push the boundaries of B2B marketing and lead generation at X27!

It's Black Friday and most people struggle because their offer sucks

And it took me FOREVER to figure out how to actually create a great one..

Because what the "gurus" teach about building an offer is wrong

Between students, book buyers, and Galadon Gold members, I've helped create over 10,000 offers - many still live and scaling.

Let's define a great offer:

1. Super high profits

I mean 90% or more profit margins

You need something that you can sell for $10 and keep $9

That means you have to KEEP YOUR SPENDING LOW

Don't spend 10k on ads

DON'T hire somebody as your operator and give them 50% of the business

Instead, put your head down and do the work yourself...

Send the cold emails

Make cold calls

Build an email list and send daily emails

I had a client recently tell me he just hired a social media master that could "make anything go viral"

My Instagram content peaked at 14 million views earlier this year. There is no magic hire that will 'make anything go viral.'

Just make good content, edit it yourself, and listen to the algorithm

2. Extreme customer happiness/results

Your clients need to be THRILLED to continue with you every month

3. Find your unique angle

Mine is that I'm a master at B2B business strategy and agency sales

With 14,000+ clients, I've worked with some of the biggest names in cold email and SaaS. Cole Gordon built his outbound systems off our methods. Instantly's founders joined the community early on and credit us with helping them land their first $10K. Lemlist's core strategies came from our approach.

I am THE GUY to ask about cold email and outbound sales

And people seek me out for that... and then I charge

Either through the mastermind (only $497/month, cancel anytime) or through equity or consulting deals

You need to find THAT for yourself...

What is that one thing that you've been working on for a decade...

4. Fulfill it yourself

If you sell something that you're good at, then you can charge a HIGH price (a consulting call with me is 4k for an hour)

And ALL of that is profit

Once you've done the above... THEN you can start thinking about products you want to create or how to package your thing into a company that can be sold for a 3-5x revenue valuation

But get these fundamentals right FIRST...

Build your emergency fund. Secure your kid's future.

Just make an extra 1k in profit and save it.

Then focus on getting to 10k. Then 100k.

Most people stay stuck because they never get guidance from someone who's done it. Stop guessing - join Galadon Gold TODAY and get real results.

That's all for now,

Alex

P.S. Tom just left this LinkedIn recommendation:

"I joined Galadon Gold and immediately got a ton of value around what's working for cold email right now, which is very different from what a lot of gurus are telling you. I also got my LinkedIn outreach rolling and booking meetings."

What about you?

Scale Your Agency for only $497/Month (14,000 Clients Served)

I had a guy reply to one of my cold DMs. Said he was interested, asked what the offer was. Normally I'd fire off a few paragraphs. But I stopped because I knew what was going to happen. He was going to skim it, assume it was AI, and never reply. So I sent a voice note instead… And he messaged back instantly. "Perfect, send it."

Voice notes work because they make you sound like a real person - at a time when everyone else sounds like ChatGPT.

Here's how to do it right:

1. Keep it under 45 seconds

If it looks like work, buyers will skip it.

You've done it - you see a 2-minute audio message and think, "I'll get to that later"… and never do.

Short notes get played. Long notes get ignored.

Keep it tight. Say what matters. Stop talking.

And don't send somebody a 10 minute unedited loom video…

2. Recording quality matters

One time I was in the zone… riding back in a cab

So I blasted through 30 voice notes to different prospects

Felt hella productive…

Then nothing. No replies.

So I went back and listened.

The taxi window was open and I couldn't hear a word

The background noise was LOUDER than my voice

If I couldn't understand it, the buyer definitely couldn't.

And their captions program would have no chance of understanding..

So, deals dead - we learn and move on

3. Don't ONLY use voice notes

I get it - you found a new superpower…

Don't send a voice note that says "Yes."

Don't send one that spells out a URL.

Voice notes are for explaining value, handling objections, building trust.

If they ask "How does it work?" - send a note

If they say "Can I get the link?" - just text it

Buyers shouldn't have to listen just to find out something simple

If a message would be under 5 seconds? Just type it out.

4. Go for the close

If someone's ready, send a payment link

Don't ask for a call. Don't "circle back later."

I've closed full $5K+ deals in chat. Back and forth for 5 minutes… Payment sent.

If your offer is under $10K/month, you don't even need long contracts

Send a one pager or docusign and get it approved while still having the conversation

This is exactly what we teach inside Galadon Gold:

How to book leads, close faster, and build systems that actually work.

That includes access to all programs + 4 live calls a week (sales, cold email, LinkedIn, cold calling, offer creation and more).

Apply now.

Let's close your next client - no Zoom required.

MOST B2B companies should NOT send cold emails (yet). Why? Because there is so much low-hanging fruit that you can pick first...

* Are you calling all of your inbound leads within 60 seconds?
* Have you taken every contact form input you've ever gotten and fed it into a list using a tool like AWeber?
* Have you asked your current clients to recommend one new client recently? Today?
* When was the last time you raised your prices?

What I'm saying is - we all want this magic bullet...

"If I just run cold email, we'll blow up."

But if you've been in business for a while - and you sell something with a decent price... then you really only need 5 clients to completely change your business.

If you got 5 clients tomorrow, would that make you happy?

Then why the hell are you wasting time studying outbound infrastructure and systems when the obvious thing you need to do is CALL YOUR LEADS.

Work your network. Pitch them your offer.

Send this text to everyone in your funnel (regardless of how much time it's been):

"Hey Mike, are we still moving forward with the website project?"

Replace "website project" with your keywords like cold email campaign, SEO project - whatever fits.

Text that to 100 people in your address book and I bet you get deal flow by the end of the day.

And once you've squeezed every drop out of these channels...

* When your offer is locked in
* Your price is high enough that you can make a 90% profit and low enough that clients would kill to work with you...
* Your sales systems are so tight that you don't waste the influx of leads that's coming...

That's when you scale.
If you're serious about growing, apply for Galadon Gold

I believe in you.

Talk soon,
Alex

P.S. The client I told to raise his prices yesterday?

He closed $8K with a verbal greenlight for an additional $92K...

He thought he'd quit his day job in 6 months - now he's earning 2x his old salary in 2 days. This works.
