Writer | Marketer | Former Contributor at Forbes

Hi, I’m Dan! 👋

I typically spend my days buried in a booth at a local coffee shop. Ideas flow best with a cup of coffee in one hand and a bagel in the other.

I've spent the last nine years helping brands like Forbes, Entrepreneur, Foundr, Google, Capital One, and SAP connect with audiences through meaningful, memorable content. I've also served as a marketing mentor for programs like the UCCS Scale to $1M Bootcamp, RMMFI, and MicroMentor. 

I now lead content marketing at Bryant Park Consulting, helping clients ditch the chaos and build businesses that run smoother with smarter strategy and tech.

Off the clock, I'm either spending time with my wife, chasing two little kids, or finding new ways to shank a golf ball.

Vibe coding hakkında birkaç satır da ben yazmak istedim, malum şu an gündemin en sıcak konularından.

Geçen yıl bu zamanlar bile acaba vibe coding ile bir noktaya getirebilir miydik Visanom'u diye düşünmeden edemiyorum. 

Geçtiğim yıldan itibaren Lovable, Replit, Cursor gibi araçları aktif olarak kullanarak önce basit web syafaları ve lead magnetler yapmaya başladım. 

Yakın zamanda ise ilk bireysel kapsamlı projeme başladım ve paslanmış, hatta sıfırlanma noktasına gelen yazılım bilgilerimi de güncelleme fırsatı elde ediyorum. 

Bu araçların bence en büyük katkısı gerçekten fikri valide edebilmek olacak. Yatırım yapmaya değer bir noktaya kadar sizi götürebilecek durumda olduğunu düşünüyorum. Sonrasında diler teknik kurucu ortak, diler dış kaynak dilerseniz de işe alım yaparak sanırım daha profesyonel bir yönetim ile teknolojiyi geliştirmeye devam edebilirsiniz.

Artık, "bir fikrim var ama nasıl başlayacağımı bilmiyorum. Yazılımcı tanıdığım yok, tasarım geçmişim yok." devri bitiyor gibi. Siz ne dersiniz? 

Fikirleri hayal olmaktan çıkarıp en azından satılabilir bir ürün haline getirmek mümkün mü?

Word-of-Mouth is a gift, but it’s not a scale-up strategy. 

For many B2B companies, the initial growth phase is powered by "luck" and "reputation." Your network, your acquaintances, and happy customers carry you to a certain point.

But what happens when that pool runs dry?

Scaling is where the real challenge begins. Today, Inbound and Outbound marketing are harder than ever. We thought AI would make things easier, but it actually made the market noisier and more competitive.

The next frontier? Ecosystem-Led Growth (ELG).

You need the right people, the right partners, and the right companies to open doors for you. But ELG isn’t just about "having partners"—it’s about managing them without losing your mind.

Imagine:
Zero data loss: No more "evaporating" opportunities because of poor tracking.
Instant Vetting: Stop spending hours seeing if a partner is a "fit."

Zero Tech Dependency: A branding-aligned partner page live in minutes, not weeks (without begging the dev team).

5 Models, 1 Platform: Managing everything from Evangelists to Affiliates in one place.

I’m building exactly this. We are thinking about these hurdles so you don’t have to.

Beta program registrations are opening soon. Stay tuned.

I see a growing trend of startups looking for senior business developers or consultants on a strictly "commission-only" basis. The logic is simple: "We pay when we earn."

It sounds safe for the startup, but it signals two red flags to a professional consultant:

Lack of Confidence: You aren't confident enough in your cash flow or conversion rates to invest upfront.

Lack of Commitment: If you aren't paying a retainer, you don't value the consultant's time, only the potential outcome.

In Turkish, we have a saying: "You don't spare the chicken if you expect a goose." 

If you want high-quality leads, professional representation, and access to a senior network, you need to invest in it. A commission-only model often attracts desperate amateurs, not the partners who can actually scale your business.

Let's normalize fair compensation for the effort of opening doors, not just the luck of closing them.

The quiet moments are often where the loudest ideas are born. 

I’ve been taking some time recently to step back, reflect, and strategize. There’s a lot happening behind the scenes right now, and I'm channeling all my energy into mapping out what’s next.

It’s time to push boundaries and step out of the comfort zone again. The motivation is high.

Get ready for some exciting updates soon. 

Watch this space. 👀

Is LinkedIn outreach still effective in 2026? The numbers say a resounding YES. 

I’ve just wrapped up a 13-month consulting project, and the results from our HeyReach.io setup are proof that quality targeting and automation are a powerhouse combo when done right.

Here is the breakdown of the performance: 
✅ Connections Sent: 47,731 
✅ Acceptance Rate: 41.8% (Industry average is usually ~25%) 
✅ Reply Rate: 21.2% (1 in every 5 people engaged!)

The secret sauce? It’s not about sending thousands of messages. It’s about a strategic framework: 

1️⃣ Hyper-Targeted ICP: Identifying the right audience before hitting 'send'. 
2️⃣ Human-Centric Copy: Crafting messages that sound like a conversation, not a sales pitch. 
3️⃣ Safe Scaling: Using a multi-account strategy to maintain high volume without risking account health.

Outreach is no longer a numbers game; it's a relevance game.

Want to build a predictable lead generation machine for your business? DM me to see how we can scale your outreach.

Partnerships are about relationships, not just links. 

Most affiliate tools focus on the 'click.' But true partnership success happens in the 'leads' and the 'collaboration.'

I’ve been obsessing over a few questions lately:

🔺 Why is it so hard for partners to submit qualified leads directly into a CRM?

🔺 Why can't a PRM feel as airy and fast as a modern note-taking app?

🔺 How can we automate the 'boring' stuff like payouts and asset generation so humans can focus on the 'strategy'?

We’re quietly building a 'Partner OS' that puts the user experience first. No more 90s spreadsheets. We are focusing on high-density UI, 13px precision, and seamless workflows.

If you could build your dream Partner Management tool from scratch, what is the ONE feature you’d absolutely need?

I’m curious to hear your 'wishlist' below.

Moving fast is the only way to scale in the AI era. 

Over the past 12 months, I’ve been on the ground architecting growth, sales infrastructures, and GTM strategies for 12+ tech companies globally.

I’ve detailed my recent track record and my current 20-hour weekly availability for new B2B SaaS/AI partnerships in the post below.
