Cold Email Infrastructure & Smartlead Setup Specialist

I help agencies and founders build reliable outbound and automation systems that generate leads, book meetings, and save hours of manual work every week. Over the past 3+ years, I've designed and deployed workflow automation, AI agents, chatbots, and CRM integrations using n8n, Make, Zapier, and OpenAI-powered tools, helping businesses across multiple industries cut repetitive tasks and scale their operations without adding headcount. More recently, I built and ran cold email campaigns to grow my own agency's pipeline from the ground up, learning what actually lands in the inbox and drives replies. I now offer that same service to clients using Smartleads and Instantly AI, backed by the technical automation skills that make outbound run on autopilot. Cold Email Services Cold email setup: - domains, mailboxes, warmup, and SPF/DKIM/DMARC configuration for strong deliverability - Cold email copywriting that gets opens, replies, and booked calls instead of getting ignored - Campaign setup, sequencing, and management in Smartleads and Instantly AI - A/B testing of subject lines, sequences, and offers to improve results over time - Deliverability monitoring, inbox rotation, and ongoing inbox health management - Lead sourcing and list building tailored to your ideal customer profile Automation Services - Workflow and business process automation with n8n, Make, and Zapier - CRM automation (GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Bitrix24, and custom CRMs) - AI agents, chatbots, and voice agents (Vapi, Voiceflow) for sales and support - API integrations and webhooks to connect your entire stack into one system - Automated lead enrichment, follow-ups, and reporting so no opportunity slips through How I Work I take time to understand your goals, your audience, and your existing tools before building anything, so what I deliver fits your business rather than forcing you to adapt to it. You get clear communication, dependable delivery, and a partner who treats every project like it's his own. Whether you need a cold email system that consistently books meetings or an automation that removes hours of manual work, I can help you build it. If you're looking for a technical partner who's genuinely invested in your growth, send me a message and let's get started.
