Jay Mount Consulting

Most revenue teams are building with borrowed tools.
The same CRMs. The same databases. The same cold email sequences.
It’s no wonder results feel flat — everyone’s playing the same game.

At JMC, we help you build your own.
We design Revenue Intelligence Architectures — proprietary systems that turn raw data, messy ops, and stale tactics into leverage your competitors can’t copy.

Our systems give you:
• Decision-making engines that route leads automatically
• Custom TAMs built from scratch (not scraped from ZoomInfo)
• Cross-channel orchestration that learns, adapts, and compounds
• A foundation your team can own, scale, and evolve

This isn’t RevOps.
It’s competitive advantage — built through automation, intelligence, and strategic clarity.

Want to see what that looks like in your business?
Start with a 48-hour architecture evaluation. We’ll map the risks, identify the upside, and show you exactly where the edge lives.

basix.ai

We started basix.ai because we saw firsthand how doing “sales as usual” prevented sales from happening. Once we isolated and focused on the activities that drive revenue, we were able to boil it down to its simplest components; do the things that drive prospects forward, and stop doing the things that hinder sales. 

Most sales reps inadvertently spend time:

- Chasing deals that were never going to close (based on bad or incomplete data)
- Deciding who should be contacted based on gut feel
- Spending time on endless research, going between systems and databases

We built a technology platform that actually works with the salesperson to keep them in sales conversations and in their sales flow. 

Our experience has shown the answer is not to try to surround the salesperson with more activities and just increase performance, but rather keep the focus on just selling.  

With basix, the smart workflow engine learns what activities and what prospects to focus on so your sales team can get better results. This happens because the system learns who is the current “low-hanging fruit” and constantly serves them up. At the same time, the highest and best activities are matched, taking those prospects further into the buyer’s journey, and moving them to the close.

Founder Helping You Grow | Follow for Daily Leadership & Growth Insights | Serial Entrepreneur | Ex-RBC

My story isn't typical - it's not about steady corporate progression or entrepreneurship from the start.

At 23, as a single dad, my journey took an unexpected turn.

In big corporations, where I stayed longer than planned, I experienced a different kind of growth.

Each night, after my son slept, my dual life as a father and ambitious professional unfolded.

But here's something you might not know: in these big companies, I didn't just get by; I excelled. Leading teams from two to 550, I was more than just another face.

I was a leader, learning about product development and large-scale expansion.

Yet, I constantly wondered, 'Am I too late to start my own business?'

This internal struggle, balancing comfort and ambition, kept me restless.

Outwardly successful in corporate, inwardly, I yearned for something of my own.

Skeptics called my desire to leave a stable career crazy, intensifying my internal conflict.

As my son became more independent, my perspective shifted.

A change was brewing, a readiness for something new.

That's when I left my corporate safety net, embracing the unknown.

The excitement of change was tangible, but what was to come?

My journey, initially thought to be solo, became a collaborative effort.

My first customer, my peers - they were more than connections; they were catalysts for transformation.

This transformation led to founding two startups in seven years.

Leaving corporate life for entrepreneurship was more than a business move; it was self-discovery, realizing my potential.

My achievements are clear:

→ Generated 9-figure revenue growth for clients and employers.
→ Progressed through 10 roles in two companies before venturing out.
→ Grew bootstrapped businesses to 7 and 8-figure heights.
→ Developed numerous leaders.
→ Launched several products.
→ Built two startups in seven years.

I share my story to inspire those on similar paths, not for self-praise.

If you're wondering if it's too late or too risky, let my experience guide you.

I'm here to connect, share, and inspire.

Let's discover what lies ahead, together.

LinkedIn is a sacred place. 

Why? Because 100s of millions of human hours are invested in it. 

In the search for knowledge, truth, and a better life. 

Only here can you meet someone with words and change their lives forever. 

It's a place to shift perspectives.

It’s a place where you can stop somebody from suffering. 

It’s a place where you persuade people to live a better life. 

It's a place to make this world a better place.

There’s no reason you shouldn’t be changing the beliefs of people you can help.

Saving them from the consequences of not getting your help with their problems. 

If you’re a world-class guru in any space who can help humans with their knowledge, mentorship, books, coaching programs or events.. 

You should show up inevitably. 

Imagine someone having the cure to cancer, and not preaching it. 

He’s doing no good to mankind. And so is everyone who has knowledge, but he is silent. 

What you do is precious. 

And I want to help you. 

With everything. 

I can help you execute the same playbook that Tony Robbins, and every world class heavy hitter expert follows to shift beliefs, transform people and make a fortune. 

With the power of Linkedin.

Because I believe in making this world a better place. 

I will not leave a pebble unturned to do that. That’s my way of becoming a useful member of this beautiful society. That’s my way of paying my debts to humanity. 

Do you want to connect to discuss the map of treasure? Message me and I will consult you.

I made the boldest prediction of my career.
And we’re the living proof of it…

→ Skylift Marketing will become the #1 marketing agency in Pakistan.

Crazy? Maybe.
But here’s the story 👇

We weren’t “born marketers.”
We were engineering students… 2 Electrical (me + Jibran Zia) and 1 Mechanical (Hamayon Tallat).

And yet… in our 2nd year of university, we spotted a gap:
→ Marketers from India & Philippines were everywhere, building global brands.
→ From Pakistan? A few ones. No leading agency. No marketing revolution.

We decided to change that…

Our first move? We took 90-day content challenge
→ Not ads. Not funnels. Not hacks.
→ Share our best work.
→ Built credibility from scratch

Result? 
→ Inbound leads. First high-ticket clients. 
→ Proof that execution beats theory, every time.

That was the moment we locked in our mission: 
  
↳ Build authority-led marketing.
↳ Put Pakistan on Global Marketing Map
↳ Create the revolution we wished existed

Future belongs to those who build trust, depth, and authority, not chasing just likes. 

Bold prediction → We’ll bring MARKETING REVOLUTION
Now your turn: What’s the boldest prediction YOU’VE made for your career?

I became CEO at 19.
Not because I was ready.

But because someone had to carry the flag.

Our first “startup” wasn’t an agency.
It was a “GOL GAPPA STALL” inside our university premises.

That’s where we learned hustle.
How to pitch an idea, serve customers, deal with competition, and make something out of nothing.

When we started Skylift…
No funding. No corporate experience. Just raw passion and a viral content strategy.

And in those early years?
We wore every hat imaginable.

Jibran stepped as COO…
Humayon stepped as CMO…
And I was the CEO of Skylift Marketing.

We weren’t CEOs, COOs, or CMOs back then.
We were project managers. Sales reps. Designers. Marketers. Account managers. Copywriters. Strategists.

Sometimes all at once.😊

That’s the paradox of leadership no one tells you about:
→ You’ll never feel “ready.”
→ You’ll always carry more weight than your title says.
→ You’ll make decisions people won’t always agree with.

❌ Leadership isn’t about being liked.
✅ It’s about carrying the burden and lifting your teammates at the same time.

It’s not easy.
But it’s worth it.

P.S. Founders & leaders: Drop your first entrepreneurial hustle in the comments, let’s see how many of us started scrappy and built something bigger.

I started SkyLift Marketing 5 years ago…
Back then:
→ No funding.
→ No big clients.
→ Just 3 engineers trying to figure out marketing. Jibran Zia Hamayon Tallat

We offered 360° service list but didn’t run a single paid campaign for Skylift…
Branding, ads, content, blogs, design… you name it, we said YES.

And we learned the hard way:

↳ Fell for the Dunning Kruger Effect: Thinking We Could Do It All 
(Spoiler: We Couldn’t)

↳ Ego is the enemy → Staying open to pivot and putting client impact above 
hype saved us.

↳ Guy Kawasaki’s words: “Sales solves everything.”
Losing clients hurt, but revenue focus always pulled us back up.

Fast forward to today…
✔️ We’ve worked with Fortune 500 companies & global personal brands.
✔️ We help clients scale to $50K+/month in revenue.
✔️ Skylift has become one of the fastest-growing agencies in Pakistan.

From saying YES to everyone… to building a focused, impact-driven agency.
The journey wasn’t smooth, but it was worth it.


PS: Every founder has their “hard way” lessons.
👉 What’s the toughest lesson you’ve learned in your journey so far?

Startup founders: “I don’t need a marketer, I have ChatGPT.”
And yet… still stuck at 0 paying customers?

Same founders: “Marketing doesn’t work!”

Here’s the uncomfortable truth ⬇️
Tools don’t replace STRATEGY.

We’ve seen it at Skylift over and over:

→ You can have ChatGPT write 100 cold emails… but if your positioning is off, none will convert.
→  You can post daily on LinkedIn… but if you’re not telling the right story, you’ll stay invisible.
→  You can spend $$$ on ads… but without a system to nurture leads, you’ll burn cash.

Marketing works... but only if you know what game you’re playing.

What founders actually need:
1️⃣ Clear positioning (why you → not anyone else)
2️⃣ Consistent distribution (get in front of the right eyes)
3️⃣ Proof of results (case studies, testimonials, receipts)
4️⃣ A system that compounds, not random “spikes” of activity

AI is great at execution.
But a founder-led strategy is what makes it work.

💬 Founders: Be honest... have you ever blamed “marketing” when the real issue was strategy?

If your LinkedIn feed looks like ChatGPT tips + motivational quotes… 
You’re playing the wrong game.
And the truth is… most CEO’s are doing this.

Here’s how we built Skylift into a 100+ client agency without chasing likes:

✅ Client case studies → showing exactly how we solved real business problems.
✅ Frameworks → the same strategies we use to scale campaigns & brands.
✅ Team insights → not just me, but giving the stage to Jibran, Humayon & the Skylift crew.
✅ Lessons in real-time → what worked, what flopped, and how we adapted.

That’s the LinkedIn game for 2025+.
People don’t want another “5 ChatGPT tricks.”

They want to see:
→ How YOU applied it?
→ What challenges YOU faced?
→ What results YOU actually got?

Shift your focus:
From “posting daily”→ to “building authority.”
From “views & likes”→ to “trust & conversations.”

That’s how we went from 0 → 100+ clients without running ads in first 3 years.

Founders, here’s my CHALLENGE:
Stop asking “How often should I post?”
↳ Start asking: “What authority am I building with every post?”

The #1 reason most agency founders FAIL in first 12 months...
(and they don't even know about it)

It’s not pricing.
Not competition.
Not “posting more.”

Founders collapse because they skip the fundamentals that actually keep an agency alive.

These 4 hacks break it down in 30 seconds:
 • Be your own first salesperson
 • Use LinkedIn as a free pipeline
 • Prioritise cash flow over profit
 • Build systems that make you look 10× bigger

Swipe and fix the gaps before they sink you 👇

4 Hacks I Wish I Knew Sooner...

Founders: “I should run ads to get clients.”
Reality: We landed our first high-ticket client with <1,000 followers and no ads.

How? 
By treating content like a $10k/hour activity.

We committed to one thing:
⚡ A 90-day content challenge.
⚡ Posting our best work.
⚡ Staying consistent… no matter the likes.

Inbound leads started rolling in.
One piece of content changed the game.

So…What’s ONE thing you did in the early days that didn’t feel like “marketing”… but actually brought growth?

1000 Followers. 0 Ads. 

Broke Engineer ➡️ Marketing Agency Founder

Here’s How We Built Skylift Marketing from scratch…

6 years ago…
→ Zero marketing experience
→ Zero celebrity endorsements
→ Zero billboard launches
→ Zero VC money

What did we have?
3 Engineers → tired of waiting for permission…
Decided to build something from scratch…

Launched our Mini Marketing Agency from the University Library’s WiFi…
Plus, the vision to make it happen one day.

Here’s the crazy part: Fast forward 3 years...
🔥 100+ full-time team members
🔥 Clients across 17+ industries
🔥 80M+ views on our content

But no one tells you this:
Scaling a business isn’t about tools, trends, or the latest hacks…
But operational clarity and people who genuinely care.

Here’s what I wish I knew sooner:

→ Document, Don’t Perfect
  ↳ We shared the raw, unfiltered behind-the-scenes. Trust comes first, perfection later.

→ Repeat the Vision
  ↳ We didn’t grow because we hired the best people; we grew because we kept repeating why it mattered.

→ Obsess Over the Basics
  ↳ SOPs. Onboarding. Retention.
  ↳ They are the foundation of everything we built. The boring stuff scaled us.

Most agencies wait until they “look big” to act big.
We did the opposite.


P.S. We built Skylift our way… I’d love to hear yours. How did you start? 👇

Everyone told us to raise funding first. Instead, we built Skylift with $0, 3 people, and one killer SWOT analysis. 
↳ Here's the raw strategy VCs don't want you to know about 👇


🟢Strengths 
Social media management was our edge.

My co-founders were my super-powers:
Humayon: a copywriter who could make posts go viral.
Jibran: a manager who could bring clarity to chaos.

My job? 
Leadership… steering us through the storm and using viral content to win our first clients.

🟡 Weaknesses 
→ We were immature.
→ Zero corporate experience.
→ The only thing we had? Passion and an insane drive to prove ourselves.

🔵 Opportunities 
→ We saw what no one else was looking at: Personal Branding.
→ No big players were touching this niche, so we went all in.

🔴 Threats
→ Big agencies were already offering “similar” services.
→ Competing head-to-head was a red ocean… so we tailored our offer.

After analysing these factors…
We came up with a Viral Content Strategy. That’s how we stood out.

🧪 Contradiction
🧪 Controversy
🧪 Contrarian
🧪 Curiosity

This wasn’t a strategy exercise.
↳ This was survival. And it worked.

💡 Founders: If you had to write down your own SWOT today… what would it look like?

Honored to be featured alongside creators who genuinely move the platform forward. Thank you for the recognition. 🙏
