Which one are you?

How I'd actually run this

Not a portfolio. A worked example.

Anyone can list numbers from old jobs. Here's the method instead: a full outbound teardown, built the way it would be built for you — on a company everyone already knows, so nothing here is a real client's data.

Illustrative only. No real data about Peloton was used to build this — it's a worked example of method, not a claim of work done for them.

Teardown

How I'd run B2B outbound for a brand like Peloton.

Peloton sells hardware to consumers, but it also runs a real B2B arm — Peloton Corporate Wellness — selling into hotels, gyms and corporate campuses. That's the account this teardown targets.

The account

Peloton Corporate Wellness is a distinct business line inside Peloton, selling fleet hardware and content licensing to hotel groups, corporate campuses and gyms — not the consumer subscription most people know it for.

The buyer here isn't a Peloton rider. It's a Director of Facilities, a VP of People, or a hotel brand's Head of Guest Experience — someone with a wellness or amenity budget and a reason to spend it this quarter.

Segment logic

  • Hotel groups with 200+ properties currently renovating or opening amenity spaces — fitness is already a line item in that budget.
  • Corporate campuses of 500+ employees with an active wellness stipend or a benefits refresh underway.
  • Boutique gym chains expanding into a new metro, where branded hardware is a differentiator against a plain rack of dumbbells.

Trigger events

  • A property announces a renovation or a new opening — construction and amenity budgets are live.
  • A company posts a new VP of People or Head of Workplace Experience — new leaders reopen vendor conversations in their first 90 days.
  • A competitor's wellness contract nears renewal — tracked the same way a trigger-event tool tracks funding rounds.

Message reasoning

Opens with the trigger, not the pitch — the renovation or the budget cycle, named specifically, so it reads as researched rather than templated.

Names the actual decision Peloton Corporate Wellness sells into — amenity differentiation, not fitness for its own sake — so the reader feels understood in one line, not sold to.

Closes with a specific, low-friction ask: a 15-minute call to see if the timing lines up. Never a generic "let's connect."

A line item for the renovation, not a new vendor search

Modelled, not real — the same "a model, not a claim" framing used everywhere else on this site.

For recruiters

What I'm looking for, and what it costs.

Expected compensation

Market rate for a Pre-Sales / Lead Generation leadership role in your region — open to a real conversation rather than a fixed number on a page.

  • 7+ years running outbound and pre-sales across 24 markets — NA, EU, APAC, MENA.
  • Built and led research and outreach teams, not only individual-contributor work.
  • Comfortable owning a number: pipeline, MQLs, meetings booked, CRM hygiene.
