Founder @ Slyleadz | I help startups build cold outbound systems that generate qualified meetings | 💌 slyleadz.us

STRUGGLING TO FILL YOUR PIPELINE WITH QUALIFIED LEADS?

I've been there. After testing 1000+ outreach campaigns, I cracked the code.

Now, I help B2B companies build outbound systems that:
→ Generate 20-30 qualified meetings/month
→ Convert cold prospects into warm conversations
→ Scale predictably without the spam tactics

Our secret?
- Multi-channel outreach that actually works
- AI-powered personalization at scale
- Follow-up sequences with 40%+ response rates
- Data-driven targeting that finds your ideal customers

Recent wins:
→ Helped a SaaS startup book 100+ demos in 60 days
→ Built a 7-figure pipeline for a tech company in 90 days
→ Generated 500+ qualified leads for enterprise clients

7 days to build a campaign and only 30 seconds to discover the contacts are stale

Let’s talk about the part nobody budgets for

We optimize messaging, channels and deliverability
then launch into humans that don’t actually exist

Let me ask you something:

How much of your outbound time is spent persuading buyers vs confirming they’re still at the company?

Here’s what slows the entire machine down:

Before anyone gets contacted, reps are:
 – Checking job changes
 – Verifying emails
 – Hunting for mobiles
 – Filtering who’s even in-market
 – Re-uploading CSVs just to see what’s missing

None of that creates pipeline

It just delays the conversations that do

Outbound isn’t bottlenecked at the mailbox
It’s bottlenecked at the contact layer

Here’s the fix…

Start with reachable humans not approximations

For this I use Prospeo.io to:
 → Search ICP
 → Filter buying signals (funding, hiring, tech stack, revenue)
 → Export verified email + mobile
 → Push directly into Smartlead, Instantly.ai, Salesforce or HubSpot

One upstream change makes downstream way less dramatic

We met 3 seconds ago, breathe

Outbound really skips every social step humans normally respect

No introductions
No context
No warmup conversation

Just a confident calendar request
And the assumption we’re already in a working relationship

Meanwhile I’m still trying to figure out who you are
What you sell
And how we arrived at “Thursday at 2pm?”

Sales has its own laws

And none of them involve pacing 😂

Follow Nick Palasz for more outbound anthropology disguised as professionalism

Who invented this sales advice anyway?

Because the execution never matches the brochure

- "Add value" turns into repeating yourself slower
- "Be consultative" becomes three warm-up questions
- "Personalize it" quick LinkedIn scroll and vibes
- "Follow up” means annoy vs disappear roulette
- "New angle" is just rewriting the first sentence
- And "trust the process" assumes there is a process

On paper it all makes sense

But the part where real buyers exist changes everything

P.S. What’s the worst sales advice you’ve ever gotten? 👇

sales advice we have all heard of

Peace lasts about eleven seconds in this profession

There’s always that brief window where you forget pipeline exists

You’re sipping coffee
Enjoying the sun
or pretending to be a normal civilian

Then pipeline quietly taps you on the shoulder
Asks you why opportunities are down
and whether you’ve considered sending 40 more emails today

It’s nothing personal
Just the ongoing negotiation between hope and math
that every rep experiences in silence

Pipeline doesn’t care about vibes
It only cares about coverage

Follow Nick Palasz for more sales psychology we didn’t exactly sign up for

What if the Friends cast ran your cold outreach again?

Outbound would be a lot less sales motion and more emotional damage control

Joey targets for vibes
Chandler follows up for jokes
Ross pivots for sport
Rachel soft-closes forever
Monica survives via process
Phoebe multi-threads like CIA

P.S. There’s a bonus character at the end 👀 swipe to check it out

If the friends cast did cold outreach pt2

10 SDRs, 870 lost hours and zero pipeline…

This is what nobody's talking about

Let me ask you something:

What do your SDRs actually do all day?

If you say ‘send emails and book meetings,’ you're only half right

The other half says they're stuck in spreadsheets

Here is reality

Before your rep can even send one email, they're:
-Hunting down contact info
-Validating job titles
-Checking if emails are real
-Finding phone numbers
-Updating CRM fields

It feels like work, but let's be honest, none of it creates pipeline

One SDR loses about 87 hours a month doing this
You have 10 SDRs… that's 870 hours gone

Here is the fix…

Stop letting reps enrich data manually

Fix the data layer before outreach ever starts

Automate the boring stuff and that's where automation actually matters

Enrich and verifiy using Lusha's API and connectors

Then let Make handle the boring logic (routing, scoring, updating CRM, triggering sequences) automatically, so nobody has to stop mid outreach to fix data

That’s how you turn those 870 lost hours back into pipeline without hiring another SDR.

If your reps are spending more time prepping than selling, you’re scaling frustration not pipeline.

P.S. What’s stealing your team’s time right now: data work or actual selling?

How sdrs lose 87 hours/month to manual enrichment

Modern sales reps wear too many hats

At this point the job description needs a sequel

-Research agent
-Personalization agent
-Cold email agent
-Meeting prep agent
-Deal monitoring agent
-List builder agent
-Follow-up agent

All of this is done by one rep who didn’t sign up for half these tasks but still shows up and finds a way to make it work

P.S. What hat should reps stop wearing? 👇

5 pre launch checks for your next cold email campaign

If you are sending emails without any safety measures… this is for you

I’ve experienced lots of issues while running email campaigns including
- Domains getting flagged
- Replies are stuck
- Campaigns burning out in 2 weeks

Everything would be decent, but the setup? Completely overlooked.

So I worked on some safety measures

Here they are…

1. Infrastructure Check

Make sure you're not using your primary domain, Gmail workspaces, or random SMTP boxes.
One mistake and your main brand email is done. You need dedicated mailboxes built for outbound. Maildoso helped me with it

2. Domain + DNS Check

Verify DNS propagation, correct records, no blacklists, and zero abuse history before sending
Because anti spam systems are watching from day one

3. Volume & Ramp Check

Start at 10 emails per mailbox on day 1, then slowly increase them
Sending a massive volume can trigger spam filters

4. Targeting & Relevance Check

Confirm you're emailing the right ICP with messaging that actually fits their world.
Deliverability means nothing if you're hitting the wrong person.

5. Sequence & CTA Check

Keep your CTA simple, don't pitch in email #1, and format for mobile readability.
People like to skim emails.

Cold email isn't complicated but it does require respect for the basics

Let Maildoso handle the infrastructure and make sure your campaign setup doesn't damage what the tech is built to protect

Run these checks, then hit send with confidence

January is just December’s revenge tour 😅 

Because now you’re chasing every prospect who confidently said “circle back next year” like they were making actual plans with you

But fast-forward to the new year and suddenly:

-Budgets are “still being finalized”
-Priorities got “reshuffled”
-And half the deals quietly migrated to Q2 without informing anyone

Reps are basically DM’ing ghosts
Leaders are refreshing dashboards like it’s a coping mechanism
And buyers are still “waiting on finance” because apparently finance runs the entire universe

P.S. What excuse are your buyers using this month?

SDRs are the power grid of the revenue org

Ask any AE
Nothing downstream works without upstream energy

Research → sparks
Support → stabilizes
Training → compounds
Quick wins → boost morale
Resilience → sustains output

You don’t get predictable revenue without powered pipeline, and you don’t get pipeline without SDR energy

When leaders invest here, everything downstream benefits

99% of jobs can be taught (if you give people a chance)

Your education doesn't define you.

Hiring managers often require:

↳ Degrees
↳ Fancy credentials
↳ Years of experience

...for jobs that don't need them.

They're missing out on many high performers.

Here's the truth:

A piece of paper doesn’t show what you can do.

Most skills are best learned on the job.
(not in a classroom)

These 5 Things Matter More Than a Degree:

1/ Show Up When Others Don't
↳ Be the one who's always there, no matter what
↳ Even on your worst days, being present puts you ahead

2/ Do the Hard Stuff First
↳ Tackle your toughest task right away
↳ Your brain is freshest in the morning, use it wisely

3/ Learn Something New Every Day
↳ Read, watch, and talk to people smarter than you
↳ Small bits of knowledge become big wisdom over time

4/ Help Others Shine
↳ Always make your teammates look good
↳ When you lift others, you rise further

5/ Own Your Mistakes and Solve Problems
↳ Take responsibility when things go wrong, then fix them
↳ Leaders love problem-solvers, not excuses

Give folks a chance!
You might be surprised by what they can do.

And if you get one of those chances...
Make them wonder why they ever doubted you.

Remember, your credentials don't define your potential.
Your actions do.

If you can't do the little things right

You'll never do the big things right.

The most powerful Navy SEAL leadership lesson:

Admiral McRaven trained 60,000 special operators.

His career secret?
Start by making your bed.

Why? Because high performance starts with daily habits.

After 15+ years as a doctor, this truth still stands.

And I've built my businesses around this very concept.

Changing the world isn't about grand gestures.
It's about these 8 proven success principles:

1. Your daily habits
2. Your perseverance
3. Your attention to detail
4. Your ability to inspire others
5. Your willingness to start small
6. Your commitment to excellence
7. Your resilience in the face of failure 

And most importantly:

8. Your impact on those around you.

Real leadership isn't about being perfect.
It's about being consistent in the small moments.

Need simple steps to start?
Here are 5 proven strategies:

1/ Make Your Bed:
Start your day with one small victory.
It reminds you that you can achieve anything.
One win leads to another.

2/ Embrace Each Challenge:
Every successful journey has obstacles.
But you're stronger than you know:

↳ Face one fear at a time
↳ Support someone along the way
↳ Transform each obstacle into growth

3/ Master the Details:
Excellence grows in small moments.
Your progress matters, however tiny.

4/ Build Resilience:
It's okay to stumble. We all do.
What matters is rising again.

↳ Learn from setbacks.
↳ Adapt your approach.
↳ Keep moving forward

5/ Inspire Others:
Share your strength. Offer hope.
Lift others as you climb.

Remember:
Personal transformation is a daily practice.

It's been proven to me many times over
in medicine and business.

Start where you are.
Use what you have.
Do what you can.

Your success begins with each tiny action you take.

9 Things You Should NEVER Say in a Job Interview:
(and exactly what to say instead)

I've interviewed many people over the years.

Top performers craft responses that show:

↳ Career potential
↳ Strategic thinking
↳ Emotional intelligence

What you DON'T say matters more than what you say. 🚨

Here's what you should never say in an interview:
(and what to say instead)

❌ My main focus is work-life balance
↳ This sounds like you're looking for a 9-5.
↳ And not willing to go above and beyond.

✅ What are the key performance metrics to focus on?
__

❌ My last manager was really unfair.
↳ This says: I'm difficult to work with.
↳ And I'm not accountable.

✅ I'm looking for an environment that prioritizes respect, growth, and collaborative communication
__

❌ So, what does your company do?”
↳ This shows you haven't researched the company.
↳ And you're not interested in understanding it.

✅ How has your company's strategy evolved over recent years?
__

❌ I'm not sure
↳ This shows you can't think for yourself
↳ And might be avoiding responsibility

✅ Let me check on that and confirm with you.
__

❌ How fast can I get promoted?
↳ This says: I'm more interested in my growth.
↳ And I haven't considered the company timeline.

✅ What does career development look like in this company?
__

❌ I need at least [X] salary.
↳ This says: I'm focused on money.
↳ And I'm not interested in aligning our needs.

✅ I'm looking for fair compensation aligned with my experience. Let's discuss the compensation range once
we determine the mutual fit.
__

❌ I’m just looking to leave my current company.
↳ Shows you don't have a good reason to join.
↳ And you're settling for this as a second choice.

✅ I'm passionate about this opportunity because...
__

❌ I'm open to any role you have.
↳ Says: I'm desperate for a job.
↳ And I don't value my skillset

✅ I know that based on my expertise in [X], 
I can make the most strategic impact in this role.
__

❌ I don't have any questions.
↳ Suggests you're only interested in the paycheck.
↳ And you haven't done your homework.

✅ What’s the team culture and collaborative style?

____

P.S.
Every answer impacts their perception of your value.
Prepare intentionally. Deliver confidently.
That's how you get the offer.
