Account Executive (Launch Manager)

Bark.com

Bark is a London-based online marketplace that uses technology to simplify the interactions between service providers and buyers in the service marketplace.

In my role at Bark, I redefined our sales process, led the integration of our tech stack with HubSpot, and developed our entire HubSpot CRM environment. I implemented all sales automation processes and managed a 95-member sales team, which greatly contributed to Bark's revenue growth.

Additionally, I oversaw a smaller outbound sales Account Executive team that consistently outperformed their initial monthly target of £60,000. In their first quarter, this team generated over £1.4 million, an average attainment of 155%. I also personally contributed to the company's sales figures, bringing in over £600,000 in May 2023.

My strategic negotiations led to an annual tech stack savings of £100,000, adding further value to the company.

One key accomplishment was the development of new processes, training, and automation that led to doubling Bark's SME market revenue in less than nine months. This initiative significantly accelerated Bark's financial growth and market standing.

StratumFive Ltd

Global Client Relations Manager

Global Client Relations Team Leader

Hi, I’m Tom — CEO & Co-founder of AdvancedClient.io

We’re a full-service GTM Studio that builds outbound systems designed to generate qualified pipeline across every relevant channel — email, cold calling, paid ads, LinkedIn, and content.

We’ve partnered with 40+ B2B companies — from consultancies and tech firms to manufacturers — to architect multichannel outbound programs using tools like Clay, Instantly, Findymail, Hypertide, and Trigify.

We typically work with:

- B2B companies doing $100k+ in monthly revenue
- Offers with $10k+ LTV and high consideration
- Founders or GTM teams who want a reliable outbound engine without hiring a team of SDRs

Why clients work with us:

1. They’re too focused on product or delivery to execute outbound properly

2. They’ve tried outbound but never got past low reply rates or spam filters

3. They’re overwhelmed by tools and want a proven system, not another experiment

4. They want to scale pipeline without bloated headcount

What we do:
- Define your ICP, segment your TAM, and structure your offer for cold traffic
- Build inbox-safe cold email infrastructure that guarantees high deliverability
- Source and enrich high-quality leads using AI and advanced workflows
- Craft messaging for email, LinkedIn, and calling — optimized for replies
- Launch and manage multichannel outbound (email, calling, paid, social)
- Handle reply management, follow-ups, and booking — we own results
- Provide content advisory to align thought leadership with GTM execution

If you're serious about pipeline growth and want outbound that performs like your best rep — across every channel — let's talk.

If you’re asking your CMO for more inbound

You might be skipping the real problem.

This is what a modern outbound engine is supposed to look like.

1. Demand comes first.

You can’t capture interest if there’s no interest to begin with.

So we help clients build awareness and trust before asking for anything.

→ Clear LinkedIn profiles
→ Targeted ICP content (founder-led or team-wide)
→ Daily engagement with decision-makers
→ Sharing useful insights, not fluff

This is the highest ROI way to warm a market.


2. Capture signals ( automatically.)

Trying to do this manually? You’ll miss everything.

Instead, we track key signals across:

→ Ad clicks (Vector 👻 = top performer here)
→ LinkedIn likes/comments (Trigify.io pulls this daily)
→ Website visitors (Vector 👻 + RB2B = strong combo)

This tells us who’s interested even if they haven’t filled in a form.


3. Enrich + qualify every signal.

Most signals are noisy.

That’s why we run everything through Clay:

→ Filter out weak fits
→ Enrich with job titles, company info, tech stack
→ Use tools like Findymail & Prospeo.io to get verified emails and phone numbers
→ Score your TAM and stack signals with BirdDog (coolest tool i've seen in a while) 

This gives us the cleanest possible data to act upon 


4. Route to the right conversion flow.
→ Got SDRs? Push to Slack or CRM in real-time. (best option)
→ Running lean? Auto-add leads to Instantly.ai campaigns.

( a great tool we use is Trellus (YC W22) to call directly from Clay as an embedded solution) 

Every lead ends up in the right place, fast.


5. Book calls + close deals.

→ Book calls within 7 days to increase shows 
→ Use Calendly’s pre-call flows to confirm and remind
→ Use send.co to track who’s involved and what they’ve seen
→ Have a great offer ;)


Nothing fancy just a tight system that works.

This is how modern GTM teams generate consistent pipeline.
It’s not just about emails or calls.

More Pipeline W/O Scaling Headcount Using AI GTM Workflows | Founder @ advancedclient.io

I think the sales org of 2026 will look nothing like what you’re running today.

Right now? Most companies are still stuck in 2018.

They’ve got SDRs hammering phones, sending templated cold emails from their main domain (lol), and hiding behind “marketing-approved” messaging that sounds like it was written by ChatGPT v0.5.

Here’s what that looks like in reality:

 • Reps aren’t getting enough connects, so their confidence tanks.
 • When they do get someone on the phone, they freeze — they haven’t had enough real reps.
 • Cold emails go straight to spam because the main domain’s reputation is torched.
 • Leadership doesn’t have visibility, coaching is reactive, and morale is in the gutter.

Quota attainment? In the bin.

But here’s how it’s going to work by 2026 👇

→ Reps will be phone-first.

 Every call will be supported by an elite backend team — building signal-led lead lists, enriching valid numbers, ranking them by intent (TitanX style), and feeding reps high-confidence dials.

They’ll get live and post-call coaching daily.

They’ll have better data → more conversations → more confidence → more pipeline.

→ Cold email won’t sit with SDRs.

It’ll sit inside marketing - centralised, infrastructure-led, and quality-controlled.

Built on secondary domains, warmed up. Reliable. Infra from: Hypertide.io, spun with deliverable copy, and operated like a performance channel - not an afterthought.

Every positive reply will be routed straight to the phone team.

→ ABM outreach becomes the rep’s playground.

Warm inboxes, hyper-personalized messages, natural DMs - no corporate BS.

Everything feels conversational and human again.

And here’s what that means 👇

Instead of 15 burnt-out SDRs chasing activity metrics…

You’ll have a handful of elite operators running optimized dials, handling real conversations, and converting at 3–5x the rate - backed by a marketing-driven outbound (and paid ads) engine.

Less headcount. Higher output. Cleaner data.

Outbound that finally compounds.

The best orgs will start fractional.

They’ll bring in partners who already have the infrastructure, training, and ramp-up systems in place - so they can prove the motion fast.

The backend gets built.
The reps get trained.
The motion gets validated.

Then, once they’re confident and the pipeline’s flowing, they’ll bring it internal with reps who already know how to run it.

That’s how smart orgs will move: speed first, ownership second.

The future isn’t “sales-led” or “marketing-led.”

It’s ops-led.

Where infrastructure, data, and enablement sit at the center - powering every rep and every channel.

That’s the 2026 sales org.

Phone-led. Data-fed. Marketing-integrated. Ops-powered.

I’m Tom. I’m 28. I live in England. My cofounder Louis Young and I run a GTM agency on track for $300k this year.

Last week, while my US friends were knee deep in turkey and leftovers, Louis asked me what we were doing for BFCM.

I told him the truth: “We’re an agency. We don’t sell consumable products we can discount.”

He looked at me and said, “Fine, but what if we just create the best offer on the market?”

So after about 35 Guinness in central London, we did exactly that.

We built a DFY outbound calling engine that runs end to end.

You don’t lift a finger.

+ we’re adding a FREE week of dialing so you can test our execution and we can test your offer before any long term commitment.

Here’s what’s inside:

1. ICP Definition and TAM Mapping
- We’ll break down your ICP based on won deals or market theories.
- Then map your entire TAM to completion: every company, every prospect, every buyer you want to reach.

2. Signals and intent
- Using BirdDog, we layer custom signals across your TAM. And yes, truly custom. If you want to track whether a founder is into... snails..., we’ll track it.
- This lets us prioritise the most in-market companies and personas.

3. Infrastructure
- We run everything through Trellus (YC W22).
- It plugs into Clay or your CRM.
- We connect directly to your sales team’s calendars so calls appear automatically with contextual handover in Slack.

4. SDRs
-You get one of our in-house SDRs calling 3-5 hours per day on your account.
- We build every script, objection matrix, and enablement path.
- We listen live to calls and coach in real time so performance improves fast.

5. Reporting
- You’ll get a private Slack channel with direct access to me, Louis Young, and your SDR(s).
- Weekly KPI reports, full transparency, plus a written breakdown from Louis on what happened and what’s next.
- Optional CRM sync.

Now the part everyone asks about: the free week.

Not every offer or market fits calling. That’s fine.

Instead of locking you into a contract and hoping it works, we run a full proof-of-concept week at no cost.

We build the list, enrich numbers, create scripts, run the objections, and call.

You see the results with zero commitment.

We see if you’re a good partner for a longer engagement.

If the proof of concept lands and you’re happy, we sign a 6-month contract and scale.

Your pipeline grows without operational lift or distraction from mission-critical deals.

The alternative is hiring a team yourself and managing recruiting, training, enablement, QA, coaching, tech, holidays, sick days, motivation, and everything else that slows down growth.

This offer is best for companies with real PMF, aggressive growth plans, and no desire to spend 6-12 months building a sales team from scratch.

They need pipeline. They need it soon. And they want it without taking focus away from customers already on their plate.

If you want the full breakdown, tell me and I’ll send it over.

I’m 28 today so here is 28 lesso… nah I’ll save you the waffle. 

Instead I’m making 28 million cold calls. 

Booking 280,000 meetings 

And generating £2.8T (not $) in profit for myself and clients. 

See you next year ✌️

P.s. Here is a live pic of my current calling set up, does anyone have a new dialer recommendation? My fingers hurt

a $250,000 sales team won't fix it. 
the latest 'gtm' tool won't fix it. 
AI won't fix it. 

to me it's crazy how much: 

- budget teams spend
- time teams waste
- energy teams exert 

just to avoid the thing that will FIX it: 

1. Automating bullsh*t tasks your reps either hate doing or use as an excuse not to do stuff. 
2. Creating a phone first sales motion (with the best tools) 
3. Talking to their ICP (every day) 

I think teams want it to be complicated. 

and maybe there is a shadow industry that perpetuates it, in order to; 

do less, spend more, be more comfy. 

well, we are solving for that atm by building the best outbound sales team on the market. 

killers who want to be on the phone, 

love talking to people, 

are responsible for revenue, 

+ we give them the best backend and tools on the market...

honestly, if I was 20 again, i'd bite my own nose off for this opportunity. 

unfortunately it didn't exist, so young Tom; 

get back to dialing that crappy list you have. 

p.s. live images of me training up the next elite member of our team (my mrs, she has no idea) to take out the competition (for legal purposes this is a joke).

It took me 3 years to realise that automation ≠ success, then; 

I had a bit of an existential crisis. 

In my head, automation was the key. 

Scale infinitely, without increasing headcount. 

Who wouldn't take that offer. 

But then results started to drop, 

client's started churning, 

and 'systems' that I was relying on to pay my bills... stopped working. 

everything I thought was 'true' turned out to be false. 

it sucked but honestly, I needed the reality check. 

you cannot remove the human element from a sales led growth model. 

it is required and it is necessary. 

so, what did I decide to do instead? 

take everything I knew about automation, AI and systems and apply it to a broken human led model. 

the revenue leaders I was speaking to all told me the same things: 

1. their reps aren't producing results. 
2. the phone is dead. 
2. cold email doesn't work. 
4. pipeline is shrinking. 

so I dug deeper; 

and identified the issue. 

human reps being held back by bullsh*t admin tasks that stop them (or give them an excuse) from executing revenue producing activities. 

In my business, we were mapping TAM's, producing lead lists, qualifying, researching & enriching leads in minutes when other teams were either NOT doing it or taking months...

it seemed obvious; 

arm the best reps in the world with the best automations, AI and tooling and let them focus on revenue driving activity. 

and this is exactly what we've done. 

we work with killer reps, handle all the crap, give them the best toolings and let them fire away into the market and do what they do best. 

produce revenue. 

and now we do :) 

p.s if you're 1. a killer rep looking for opportunities to work on the best offers in the market with the best tech and tooling or; 2. a b2b business looking to scale their outbound operations without the headache of building it themselves. Shoot me a dm

p.p.s tried the 'best' guinness in brighton this weekend... result: 10/10 absolute creamer.

My first job in sales had me do 3 months of product knowledge before they let me touch a phone.

At the time I thought this was normal.

Now I think it was mad.

For 99 percent of businesses, product knowledge has almost nothing to do with SDR success.

Here’s what actually matters when we hire SDRs.

1. Intelligence

Not 140 IQ.

Just smart enough to translate a complex product into simple, high level speech.

You can pick this up within minutes of talking to someone.

2. Tonality

This is the one.

Tonality is the difference between a 10 minute conversation and being hung up on 10 times.

- Calm voice.
- Downward inflection.
- Mirroring.
- Speaking slow.

You can develop it but if it isn’t there out of the box, it’s usually a losing battle.

3. Active listening.

Great SDRs listen for tonality, language, pauses, inconsistencies.

They pick up the signal inside the noise.

You can teach the technique but there has to be some natural instinct there.

4. Tenacity

Calling is hard. Barriers go up fast. The best reps don’t fold after one rejection

They reset, dial, and keep moving.

5. Curiosity

This is what separates script readers from real conversationalists.

Curious reps ask the extra question.
 
The one that unlocks the real pain.

The one the prospect didn’t expect to share when they answered the phone.

6. Coachability

Every strong rep I’ve ever worked with had one common trait.

They improved fast.

Not because they had world class training, but because they took feedback, applied it, and came back sharper the next day.

7. Energy management

This one is underrated.

Reps who can bounce back after a rough hour and still sound fresh on the next dial are worth their weight in gold.

Most people underestimate how tough the emotional part of calling is.

Top performers know how to stay level, even when nobody is picking up.

-----

Once you hire for these traits, product knowledge becomes the easy part.

You can teach the details in a week.

But you can’t teach tonality.

You can’t teach drive.

And you can’t teach the instinct to listen like it matters.

If your outbound isn’t working, don’t fix your scripts.

Fix who is doing the calling.

P.S. Here is a picture of me in 2019, 10 days into calling after 3 months of industry training. 

Look at the bags under my eyes 😂. 

Proper character development.

Calling update: 

Today’s stats: 
50 calls 
13 connects (23%) 
10 pitches 
9 conversations 
2 meetings booked 

Not bad for an hours work 🤝 

Been working on my downward inflection, and sounding almost disinterested on the phone (saw Tony Brophy talk about this) it seems to be resonating well. 

If you get a cold call from me, this is how I’m dressed just so you know.
