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

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

Before you finalize your 2026 strategy, read this.

Most leadership teams are investing in AI.
Very few can clearly explain what is driving measurable value, what is creating risk, and what to prioritize next.

That gap is not technology.
It is leadership, focus, and a real operating plan.

On January 15, I am hosting a free 60 minute executive webinar on what leaders need to do about AI in 2026.

Who it is for
CEOs
COOs
CFOs
CMOs
CTOs
Senior leaders responsible for growth, operations, and transformation

In 60 minutes, you will walk away with
Where AI can create real enterprise value in your business
What to pause, pivot, or double down on
Practical guardrails for responsible use and governance
A clear way to turn scattered experiments into a focused roadmap using my 7 Step AI Readiness Framework

This is not a technical deep dive.
It is a leadership playbook you can take into your next board or leadership meeting.

Bring one live initiative that feels important but uncertain. We will pressure test it live.

You can only solve one problem at a time. Pick one. Focus.

Most people don’t have a capability problem.
They have a targeting problem.

When you try to solve everything at once, you create noise, not progress. Focus is how you turn effort into outcomes.

Here’s how this shows up across life, business, and AI:

Life
When your energy is scattered, your nervous system stays on alert. Clarity comes when you choose the one habit, conversation, or boundary that will stabilize everything else.

Business
Most teams are “busy” because priorities are unclear. Revenue doesn’t grow from doing more. It grows from solving the right bottleneck first: pipeline, conversion, retention, delivery, hiring. Pick the constraint. Fix it. Repeat.

AI
AI isn’t a magic wand. It’s a force multiplier. But only if you start with one clear problem:
Reduce cycle time on a process
Improve response quality
Standardize knowledge
Increase outbound capacity
Automate reporting
Lower risk and compliance exposure

If you try to use AI everywhere at once, you get tools without transformation. The win comes from one use case, one workflow, one measurable outcome.

A simple framework
List your top 3 problems
Choose the one with the highest downstream impact
Define the next action you can complete this week
Measure it. Iterate.

One problem. One target. Full focus.

What’s the one problem you’re solving right now for the biggest impact in your life, your business, or your AI strategy 👇

It’s Friday and I’m going to give you a simple challenge before next week.

If you’re a leader walking into 2026 thinking, “We need to do AI the right way”
Not just faster. Not just cheaper. Not just hype.
But smarter, safer, and built to last
Then you need to be in the room on January 15 at 12 PM EST.

I’m hosting a FREE live webinar for leaders who want AI to drive

Revenue growth
Cost savings
Higher ROI
Better execution across the organization
Without burning out teams or creating chaos

And we’re doing it in a conscious, respected way.
Because the companies that win in 2026 will not treat AI like a shiny tool
They’ll treat it like a partner
And they’ll teach their teams how to work with it responsibly, consistently, long term.

Here’s what you’ll walk away with

A leadership level AI roadmap for 2026
How to pick the few AI bets that actually move the numbers
How to set guardrails without killing innovation
How to train teams so AI becomes leverage, not fear
How to build AI success that compounds quarter after quarter

This is for

CEOs
Founders
COOs
CMOs
CFOs
Department leaders
Anyone responsible for growth, efficiency, and execution

If you want to lose 2026, lead like this.

AI is not a tech trend. It is a leadership advantage. And in 2026, the fastest way to fall behind is to handle AI the way most companies do.

Here are 3 moves that will guarantee failure:

1) Ignore AI because you are busy
Tell yourself you will “circle back” once things calm down.
Spoiler: it will not calm down.

2) Buy tools before you build strategy
Invest in a stack of AI subscriptions with no roadmap, no governance, and no clear use cases.
That is not transformation. That is expensive confusion.

3) Treat AI like a side project
Leave it stuck in pilots with no executive owner, no KPI, and no change management.
You do not need more experiments. You need outcomes.

If you do not want to be part of this list, join me for a free executive webinar:

Thursday, January 15 at 12 PM EST
You will learn how to approach AI in 2026 with clarity, responsibility, and ROI.
