🚀 Bold, High-Energy Builder | GTM & Outbound Automation Specialist

Hey 👋 I’m Nishkarsh Agarwal, a builder obsessed with creating scalable outbound systems and automation workflows that drive predictable lead generation.

Over the past few years, I’ve worked hands on with SaaS founders, GTME firms, and growth teams to engineer GTM systems that convert chaos into clarity, i.e. blending data, creativity, and automation to generate consistent pipeline momentum.

I don’t just believe in outbound, but I believe in intelligent outbound:

✅ Data driven prospecting, powered by enrichment and trigger based personalization
✅ Multi channel workflows across LinkedIn, email, and voice
✅ Scalable automations that replace manual effort with measurable growth

Currently, I’m focused on helping companies implement high performance outbound and GTM architectures that actually scale, not just campaigns that run - but systems that compound.

If you’re building something ambitious in GTM, automation, or lead generation - let’s connect. 

I love sharing playbooks, frameworks, and real world strategies that move numbers and dashboards.

I stopped using Apollo last week. Here's why.


soo I ran the same exact lead search on Apollo, Clay, and Prospeo.io.
results? Apollo: 2,557 validated emails. Clay: 1,653. Prospeo.io: 4,739. what???

Same filters. Same ICP. Middle East SaaS founders

Well here's the thing nobody talks about:
Data quality in outbound is a margin game.

—> Bad data = bounces 
—> Bounces = domain burn 
—> Domain burn = new domains, new warmup, 3 weeks lost 
—> 3 weeks lost = client churn

This is why I've been obsessed with finding the cleanest data source for the last 2 years. And with my itch being finally seeming to satisfy now as I found Prospeo.io (note this is not sponsored).

I just spent 2 weeks in their beta, compared it against every tool my network of GTMEs uses regularly, and the results weren't even close 😂

Why Prospeo.io just became my #1 tool? 
I’d say their V1 was good with lead enrichment and data quality but not sure why they recently decided something massive that shook me - here's what I felt changed:

It's now like a full searchable lead database i.e. better than apollo due apollo level filters + top notch data accuracy/quality.

The filters are literally insane forcing me to think of new campaigns for clients on spot:
—> Email provider (can filter by Google vs Microsoft)
—> Department growth (can find teams actively hiring)
—> Headcount growth by department, etc etc

But filters don't matter if data is like garbage - I’d say they outperformed others specifically since their data quality is HONESTLY so so good.

For Emails their leads are:
→ Triple verified (SMTP + real send outcomes + BounceBan (Verify risky emails without sending messages)) 
→ Spam traps and honeypots filtered out 
→ Catch alls cleaned through their own system 
→ fckin ~98% deliverability on verified emails 
→ Refreshed every 7 days (where industry average is 60-90 ☠️)

Mobile leads?
→ again Triple checked (w carrier validation + person level matching + call tested) 
→ 80% crowdsourced data (where industry average is 20%) 
→ 1 in 3 calls pickup rate in real campaigns - compared to Apollo’s 1 in 1k ish ☠️

So like you really don't need to run emails through MillionVerifier after, or don't need to waterfall 6 providers in Clay - just... use the damn data lol 💀

What does this mean for your workflow - now you’ll ask?

Just find your leads from their accurate lead finder and push it directly to HubSpot/EmailBison damn 👀

I'm not saying Clay is dead and bs. All I'm saying is for 80% of use cases, most people just won't need it anymore.

When something works this well - Nish basically has to talk about it.

What I’ll say is if you run outbound at any scale - just dont take my word for it - go try Prospeo.io V2 yourself. You'll see what I saw haha.

P.S. The teams that figure out clean data first will dominate 2025. This is honestly I believe is one of those edges.

I just got off a call with LinkedIn’s internal team.

What they told me explains why so many LinkedIn accounts are getting fewer views.

The issue is not the algorithm update or the time you post.

The real reason is the huge rise in AI-made content on the platform.

They said there has been a 5,670% jump in AI slop in the last few months.

This wave is pushing their systems too hard.

Most people now open ChatGPT, grab a post in under 30 seconds, and hit publish.

LinkedIn was not built for this much low-effort content.

Their servers, review tools, and ranking system are all feeling the strain.

They told me there is one top secret method that still gets strong reach.

And very few people are using it.

Here is what they said:

𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻.

Their team of 1,000 data scientists said human-written posts now get pushed higher in the feed.

So normal AI-made posts will keep getting weak reach.

If you want the full breakdown and the simple steps they shared to write posts using your own brain?

— Comment BRAIN and I’ll send it —

I was shocked to hear this, to be honest.

What do you think?

The worst LinkedIn trend right now?

I'll go first:

AI comments

You look like an idiot, it destroys your reputation and it doesn’t do anything.

Please stop.

Your turn:

The worst LinkedIn trend is…

I was a loser for 27 years.

In 2018, I had a mental breakdown.

3:53AM in my parents’ spare bedroom
Heart pounding, chest tight
I realised one thing.

No one is coming to save me.
So I’m going to save myself.

That moment rebuilt my entire life.

Not because I got lucky.
But because I stopped outsourcing who I was.

Most people don’t have a business problem.
They have a self-authorship problem.

Fix that, and everything changes.

Agree?

How to send 10 LinkedIn DMs a day

And book 20 meetings a month.

Step 1: Document your top 3 clients wins

In a Google Doc write

1 - All the issues they had before working with you
2 - All the impacts it had on the business due to them
3 - What specifc results they got after working with you


Step 2: Create their "twins" in Sales Navigator

1 - Screenshot the Leads List filters
2 - Paste them into ChatGPT
3 - Paste your clients profile

Then ask it to create the filters of their twins.


Step 3: Send 10 DMs before 10am saying

"𝘏𝘦𝘺 𝘕𝘈𝘔𝘌, 𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘟 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘠 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘡 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘴. 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 3 𝘱𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘤 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘩𝘰𝘸. 𝘖𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶?"


→ My client did this with my FREE content
→ Before we started working together
→ And closed a $6,000 a mth retainer.

This is how you get client on LinkedIn

Not that "commenting for 2 hours a day" garbage.

What do you think?

My 1st client was my mum's friend

I thought I "made it". It cost me $180k.
 
Biz start Nov 2022
First $8k/mth retainer Mar 2023.

Confirmation Bias on my sh*tty offer

I then spent like I’d won even though I sucked.

4 mths went by, bank balance dangerously low.

I could barely sell anything.

Finally dropped my ego

1 - Made a 3.5k one off offer
2 - DM'd 100's of peeps
3 - Closed 25 deals.

Same ICP. Smaller promise.
 
The lesson?

You're not as good as you think you are.

Make an offer that is smaller and lower risk

People don't buy promises
They buy something believable.

Agree?

Anyone who says "Don't cold DM" is an idiot

Last year I Cold DMd Ali Abdaal and booked a call

I then helped him for FREE for 60 mins on LinkedIn
I then coached his program for 90 mins for FREE also.

I asked for nothing in return.

Then I saw him on the The 505 Podcast

I then asked Ali if I could get an intro.

He said "Yeah send me the message and I'll forward it"

So, I cold DMd Brayden Figueroa

And guess what?

We recorded the pod this morining.

Cold DMs work. Your just suck.

And if you want to get better at them?

I just recorded a 30 FREE training

Where I show the EXACT DMs I sent to Ali and Brayden.

Go to my YouTube and under LIVE and check it out.

But what do you think?

Cold DMs? Yay or Nay?

How to make $30k/mth on LinkedIn

1) Start talking to people
2) Ask what they need help with
3) Offer to start helping them for free
4) Start helping them to see what you like
5) Ask what they found most valuable together
6) Find other people like them in Sales Navigator
7) Say you just helped this person and offer to help them
8) Keep helping more people to become the most useful
9) Use that real life data to create your offer doc to sell

That's it. You need nothing else. Just starting helping.

You can't "ChatGPT" your way into making an offer

The offer is created through you having conversations with actual human being, being useful and solving their real world problems.

No made up "AI" ones.

Agree?

I just hosted a 11 hr 35 min  LinkedIn Workshop

386 people joined. It was wild.

What a day.

But honestly, it was so much fun.

Can't wait to do it again.

Now I'm gonna peace out

And order Uber Eats.

Catcha Legend


PS - It was actually 2 workshops in 1 day. Forgot to mention. Peace out.

For 27 years I was a loser

Because I believed this lie

“If I understand it… that means I’ll do it.”

What a load of bs.

I binged YouTube videos — but never focussed.
I read dozens of self help book — but did nothing
I constantly compared myself to others — and it infected my brain.

I did all the “things” you’re meant to do

Until one day when I was staring at the bedroom ceiling after I’d had to move home to my parents house after having a breakdown.

I thought — “F*ck it. I’m going to start trusting my gut. I don’t care what society says. I’m going to be me”

And since that day—I built a life most people only dream of.

Ideas means nothing
The only thing that matters

Is taking uncomfortable action while other people call you a weirdo.

Agree?

3 ways to trash

Your personal brand on LinkedIn

1) Comment mindlessly for 2 hours a day on 50 "creators" posts saying "OMG this is so correct! You are the greatest human of all time!"

2) Use AI to only agree with what someone said. Ffs please stop. You look like a robot with no soul.

3) Ask for a 15 min catchup in every single DM you send. Just stop. You look like a desperate weirdo.

What would you add?
