I help founders build revenue growth, audience & personal brand 🔥 From 0 → $30M ARR | Startup & GTM Advisor & Builder 📈 ex-LinkedIn & ex-Remote 🦄 | Founder: Huntrs

I am a builder. 

Over the last decade, I have built and scaled go-to-market engines, sales orgs and revenue at disruptive SaaS, Deep tech and HR tech companies.

Since leaving my 9-to-5: 

🔥 Became a Top Voice on LinkedIn
📈 Grown an audience of 239,000+ followers
✍️ Publish 2 weekly newsletters; Beehiiv + LinkedIn
📣 Been featured by Entrepreneur, Inc and CXO Magazine
💰 Built a 6-figure ($) business in less than 12 months from organic content

→ In 2023 I founded Huntrs - we build personal brands for founders and help them GROW their business.

The BEST way to build a business today is through your personal brand. 

I'm also deeply passionate about helping more people to monetize their knowledge and build multiple income streams. 

Before starting my own business, I built and scaled the unicorn and hyper growth company Remote.

MY RESULTS:

→ Built, hired and led the EMEA team and market for Remote from 0-$30M ARR 
→ In July 2021 we became a unicorn 🦄, and in April 2022 Remote was valued to $3 billion
→ From 2 sales reps → team of 87 people across 22 countries - we all worked remotely 
→ EMEA was Remote’s best performing market and team
→ Built a scalable and repeatable sales process and business model
→ I’ve built an audience of 214,000+ followers, with 92 million+ impressions, and I teach founders, investors and executives how they can achieve the same

When I coach founders, I teach them how to build lean and efficient, profitable revenue growth, fuel growth through their personal brand, build an organic content funnel, keep a laser focus on the customer, speed, and build systems.

♻️ As well as building an ecosystem around their company.

PREVIOUS GO-TO-MARKET EXPERIENCE: 

→ Global hiring - hire anyone, anywhere in the world 
→ Strongest material in the world

She sold her company for $900,000,000 (!)



This is one INSANE business model.

Here's how Reese Witherspooon did it - let's break it down:

↓

Reese built a book club with 2,5M subscribers.

↓

She approached publishers of books 📚

↓

She told them that in exchange for having her book club read their book, and they get the book revenue, she negotiated the exclusive rights to turn these stories into movies or TV shows.

(such a brilliant example of how she turned HER knowledge and background into a competitive advantage)

↓

She then A/B tested which books did well in the book club - and if they would make a good TV show (!!).

↓

She went to all the major platforms like HBO, Netflix, Apple TV, Disney + Prime Video, and SOLD the RIGHTS to turn the book into a movie or show.

📚 → 🎥

↓

The money she got from the major platforms she used to produce Emmy Award winning content like:

- The Morning Show
- Big Little Lies etc.

↓

The revenue she got from the movies/shows went back into the book club again.

This is such a BRILLIANT flywheel and ecosystem ♻️

She did all of this without ever putting in a dollar.

A perfect example of the compounding effect of personal branding.

(and no... this is NOT just for Hollywood actors)

→ Start building your personal brand into an asset that will compound for you.

Building your personal brand on social media makes it so much easier to:

- acquire new customers
- fundraise
- bootstrap
- and hire top talent

The value of a personal brand will only increase as we see more and more adoption of AI and AI agents.

Your personal brand drives your business.

If you’re not using it to its full potential, you’re missing out on both business and career opportunities.

These romantic AI billboards are taking over the internet.

All across the US, Bland AI has put up billboards displaying an AI robot embracing a human on a phone call, with the caption “customer support that actually cares”.

👉 Some think it’s genius.
👉 Others think it’s going too far.

But the real reason it explodes is simple:

We all hate calling big companies.

We dial in and enter into menu hell with holds, transfers, frustration, and no answers.

It’s exhausting.

Then we see a version of support we wish existed.

→ First ring answers.
↳ Understands context.
↳ Solves the issue.
↳ No circus of transfers.

It’s not about robots hugging humans.

It’s about a phone call that works and feels HUMAN.

If AI does what companies failed to do for years, people won’t fear AI.

↓

They’ll crave it.

Why do you think Bland AI is going this viral?

A sh*t ton of money. 

A gorgeous house. 
A fancy car. 
Expensive watches and designer clothes. 

↓ 

❌ NONE of those things makes us happy. 
👉 Still, most people are chasing them.

It's the perfect cage that so many people try to leave between their 40-50s but can't.

What actually makes us happy:

1. Owning our time
2. Building something meaningful

That's why I chose entrepreneurship.

It gave me options, autonomy, and real freedom.

And yes, earning well makes life EASIER.

If you want more control, start building your own thing.

Use your 9 to 5 to fund your 5 to 9.

Start small.
Work on it every day.
↳ Eventually it will start to compound.

If you do well as an entrepreneur, the money comes as a bonus. 

I genuinely believe most people would be happier if they built  something of their own.

Agree? Disagree?

You can have the best product in the world, but without the right strategic messaging and content, it's just noise.

People remember stories 22x more than they remember facts.

Why?

Because stories light up our brains. 

They make us feel, connect, and engage. 

Data might inform, but stories inspire ACTION and connection.

I make writing cold emails easy for entrepreneurs and sales teams 🚀 Growth @ Woodpecker | Consultant

Everyone wants to land clients consistently, and I figured out how.

With $15.2M+ in pipeline generated, 110+ clients scaled, and sales systems that generate revenue, I can show you how to build one yourself (without the trial-and-error BS).

In 2020: Scaled a SaaS to its first 1,000 customers via outbound cold emails
In 2023: Became the #1 cold email creator on LinkedIn by building my personal brand
In 2025: Teaching B2B teams the exact Cold Email + LinkedIn + Content playbook to land clients

Helped 100+ founders master the new outbound: LinkedIn intent signals, demand generation 
through content, social selling, and cold emails that actually convert.

Don't start your DM with: "Hope this message finds you well”

It has never found anyone well. Try this instead: 

1. Relevant + Good Timing + Personalised
• 2-4 sentences max. It's a DM, not an email.
• Personalise the 1st and the last line of your DM.

2. Value + Social Proof
• Show the Status QUO is not desirable by focusing on Cost of Inaction
• Add social proof with an example of a similar company = build trust faster

3. End strongly
• End with ONE clear yes/no call-to-action.
• Be super specific about what you’re asking for (don't ask the meeting)

This formula will get you a response: 

Name - <observation>, <value>. <social proof> + <risk reversal>. <CTA>.

Some good openers examples:

• Artur - your CEO <name> mentioned on a pod...
• Matt - saw in your <name of the report>...
• Yurii - despite 293k visits in October...

*Bonus tip: Move beyond DMs

- Combine DMs + Calls + Email.
- Decision-makers are more likely to respond that way.
- Use tools like Prospeo.io to find email addresses/phone numbers. 
* It works super well with Sales Nav + it's the best data on the market imo

Why be generic when you can stand out?

Ps. I`m Yurii, follow me for more actionable DM tips.

Outbound isn’t dead. Your system is. I fix that.

The 1-minute cold email checklist

(use it before you hit "send")

1. Each word counts
2. 1-3 word subject line
3. Doesn't scream "SALES"
4. 1st line loaded with research
5. <5-th grade reading language
6. F-shaped with shorter sentences
7. Clear reason “WHY” you contacted
8. “What is in it for a prospect” stands out
9. Can be read on the phone without scrolling 
10. Social proof that you helped a similar company

Bonus tip: add one soft tone Call-to-Action at the end

An example of such cold email: 

Subject: DACH expansion 

Margaret - saw Woodpecker’s DACH expansion is a Q1 focus.

Cold emails that worked in the US tend to flop with German buyers.

Hubspot’s DACH team booked 18% more meetings after 2 months with us.
We helped rebuilt their whole outreach for cultural fit.

Want to see how they did it?

P.S. Loved your LinkedIn take on deliverability.
-----
Stop desperately asking for a meeting. 

Start conversations ✌🏻

Ps. I`m Yurii, follow me for actionable cold email tips

Don’t use AI to write your cold email scripts.

It makes you look bad. Here’s why: 

AI does a lot. 

Deep research? (AiSDR)
Enrichment? (Clay)
Drafts? (Twain).

But AI can’t originate. 

It relies heavily on templates and patterns it's seen before.

Also, AI often misses crucial context:

• If they already have a solution like yours
• How your solution fits into the prospect's ecosystem
• Whether your timing makes sense for their business cycle

The most effective cold emails I've seen share these things:

- Clear reason why act now
- micro-stories with social proof
- Relevant, well timed and good offer

Here’s how to use AI + Cold Emails best: 

Use AiSDR (agent) or Clay's agent to: 

1. De-anonymise site visitors
2. Summarise LinkedIn profiles in seconds
3. Find lookalike leads, prep 1st cold email draft

Then, it’s time for you to step in: 

1/ Adapt the cold email draft for you (use Twain)
2/ Add authentic voice and personality
3/ Ensure contextual relevance

AI can help. 

But it won’t replace someone who “gets it.”

What would you add?

AI SDR vs Human SDR - who sells more?

Human. Here's why: 

Buyers aren't ready for 100% AI reps in 2025.

- 98% of execs still prefer real conversations
- 96% trust brands more after human interaction
- 72% engage only with messages that resonate

But ditching AI? That’s just as bad.

Top teams don’t choose. They combine both

- AI = speed.
research, data, and grunt work

- Humans = strategy.
nuance, tactics, and relationships

The results speak:
 +30% ROI with AI tools
 + 25% cost savings and more output
 +202% reply rates with AI enriched cold emails

Use tools like AiSDR to:

1. De-anonymise site visitors
2. Summarise LinkedIn profiles in seconds
3. Find lookalike leads, prep 1st cold email draft

So you have more time to close and build genuine relationships

So, stop chasing the magic button.
Start building a hybrid Human + AI sales machine

PS. I`m Yurii and I`m building an outbound sales system that actually works. For those DONE with wasted effort or think "outbound is not for us". Want to hear more about it: DM me "SYSTEM"

Cold email isn’t dead - people just stopped replying to generic ones.
 
See how I turned cold email from “meh” to “let’s talk”:
 
1. Relevant hook
→ Lead with THEIR problem, not your pitch.
 
2. Clear value
→ Show why staying with their current solution costs them more.
 
3. Strong close
→ One direct CTA (no begging for calls).

What would you add?
 
PS. I help founders book 25+ meetings/month. DM “System" to find out more.

Cold Email Rewrite

Your cold email should be like a burger.

The first bite has to be so good, prospects want more.

Unfortunately, most emails are gas station sandwiches.

Here's the 8-ingredient recipe to cook up a Michelin Star +15% reply rate:

1. Subject Line (The Bun Top)
- Think boring, think internal. 
- Keep it simple, under 3 words.

2. Opener (The First Bacon Bite)
- Your 1st line should scream "I did my homework."
- Use enrichment tools to find info for a "punchy start" 

3. Relevance (The Cheese)
- Focus on WHY NOW, instead of WHY US
- Work-related reasons always win.

4 Pain Point (The Healthy Stuff)
- Mirror their biggest challenge and reveal the cost of inaction.
- This is the only way to create real urgency.

5. Value (The Pickled Onion)
- Nobody cares about your product/service. 
- Everyone's looking for "what's in it for me”. not “what we do”

6 Social Proof (The Lettuce)  
- Show how you helped similar companies. 
- One specific win beats ten vague claims.

7. Clear CTA (The Meat)
- Make saying "no" easy. 1 yes/no question.
- Reduce friction, build trust.

8. P.S. Section (The Secret Sauce)
- Save personal interests for PS. 
- Let your main email focus on business value.

*Bonus Burger + Fries combo

Just like burgers need fries, cold emails need deliverability.
The best copy means nothing in spam folders.

I use Maildoso to ensure +98% deliverability

→ Pick my outbound domains there
→ It monitors my deliverability daily so I catch issues early.
→ Safely send image, videos, links in cold emails (game changer)

Follow these rules.

They get replies.

PS. Struggling to win new clients via Cold Email & LinkedIn DMs? DM me “COLD” and let’s see if I can help you do it.

The 1-minute cold email checklist

(use it before you hit "send")

1. Each word counts
2. 1-3 word subject line
3. Doesn't scream "SALES"
4. 1st line loaded with research

10. Social proof that you helped a similar company

Bonus tip: add one soft tone yes/no Call-to-Action at the end

An example of such an email: 

Subject: DACH outreach plan 

Margaret - in Woodpecker’s quarterly report expansion to DACH seems to be a top priority for Q2.

Cold emails that work in DACH differ from those you used to grow in the US.

Hubspot’s DACH sales team started booking 27% more meetings after just 2 months of working with us. 

Would insights on how they did ot be interesting to you?

PS. Your LinkedIn posts on email deliverability are really insightful

*Pro tip.
These tips mean nothing if your emails land in SPAM (happened a lot in 2025)

- That's why I send my emails using Maildoso's infrastructure.
- It gets me +97% primary inbox placement - even to Outlook emails.
- Plus, it's cheaper to buy mailboxes that way (only $1.80) compared to Google.

What would you add?

AI didn’t kill outbound. It killed lazy pitch slaps.

Join us live on 11/11 - we’ll talk about how to prep for 2026.

The lineup is stacked - practitioners closing deals in the new landscape.

We’ll break down:

1. Why everyone saying “outbound is dead” is wrong (and losing)
2. How AI just rewrote every cold email rule (forever)
3. Tools we actually use (not just recommend)
4. How to get replies right now

No fluff. No theory.

Just what’s working today.
