Lead generation

Outbound, engineered like a pipeline.

I build and run outbound lead generation and pre-sales systems for B2B and B2C companies — defining who is worth contacting, researching and sourcing those contacts, running multi-channel outreach, qualifying the replies, booking meetings, and handing qualified prospects to account executives with the CRM data and reporting to match.

What that means in practice.

It is the whole funnel, run as one system: the ideal customer profile is defined, the accounts researched, the contacts sourced and verified, the cadence launched, the replies qualified, and the meetings booked with the data to back the hand-off.

The same system also carries direct pre-sales work — discovery calls, enterprise product demos, RFP and proposal responses, and ROI modelling for C-suite buyers.

The method

Eight stages, in order.

Each depends on the one before it. This is the sequence the homepage world runs as you scroll.

  1. 01

    Understand ICP

    Segment the market, map the buyer journey, define who's actually worth reaching.

  2. 02

    Research

    Account and market intelligence from Draup, ZoomInfo, Crunchbase, and direct web research.

  3. 03

    Prospect

    Source contacts and verify them through multi-stage checks before they ever get an email.

  4. 04

    Outreach

    Multi-channel cadences across cold email and LinkedIn, monitored for SPF, DKIM and DMARC health.

  5. 05

    Qualification

    Track hand-raiser quality, not just volume, and report it back to sales and research.

  6. 06

    Meeting

    Schedule discovery calls and demos, connect qualified prospects with Account Executives.

  7. 07

    Pipeline

    CRM data management and funnel reporting, with ROI defined before a campaign ever launches.

  8. 08

    Growth

    OKR-aligned production plans, team training and process fixes feed straight into the next cycle.

The engagement model

Tools first. Pay when leads land.

You control the spend. Results arrive before the retainer does.

  1. Phase 01

    Pay for tools only

    The mandatory tool stack is activated. You pay direct tool cost — no markup, no retainer yet.

  2. Phase 02

    Research & build

    ICP definition, account research, prospect sourcing, and a multi-channel cadence built and launched.

  3. Phase 03

    Leads flow — pay for results

    MQL leads and qualified meetings delivered. Payment is linked to conversion, not activity.
