AI Automation & Growth Systems for Small and Medium Businesses — Built by an Operator, Not a Theorist. I'm Sumit. Through my practice, Growth100X, I build AI-powered automation and growth systems for small and medium businesses, SaaS startups, D2C brands, and service businesses — the kind of systems that quietly run lead gen, follow-ups, content, and reporting so the founder doesn't have to. I'm not an agency, and you won't be handed off to a junior. You work directly with me — the person who scaled a crypto exchange from 10K to 150K+ users, drove $50M+ in revenue across 12+ product launches, and now ships that same growth + automation infrastructure to smaller teams on Upwork. RECENT WORK: Lumida Wealth (US wealth manager). Built Meta Conversions API + CRM lead-quality tracking: audited 9 sites, 44 funnels and 6 GTM containers, fixed inflated lead counts, and set up HubSpot lifecycle stages to flow back to Meta, so ads optimise for clients, not form fills. What makes me different: most marketers hand you a slide deck. I hand you a working system — automations live, landing page built, ads running, leads flowing into your CRM, content compounding — wired together and actually running. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT I DELIVER ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▸ AI AUTOMATION & WORKFLOW SYSTEMS • Lead-gen and follow-up automations — WhatsApp, email, CRM pipelines • Marketing & ops automation — Zapier, Make, n8n, custom Python workflows • AI agents & assistants — GPT/Claude-powered workflows, content engines, internal tools • Data pipelines, scraping, and reporting dashboards • Integrations — Stripe, HubSpot, GoHighLevel, OpenAI/Claude API, WhatsApp Business, Twilio ▸ GROWTH & PERFORMANCE MARKETING • Performance ads — Meta, Google, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, Reddit • SEO + GEO (Generative Engine Optimization for ChatGPT/Perplexity/Gemini search) • Lead generation systems — LinkedIn outbound, cold email, WhatsApp funnels • Conversion-rate optimization & funnel re-design • SEO content engines and UGC-style ad creative that compound over time ▸ CUSTOM WEB DEVELOPMENT • Laravel + PHP — custom APIs, admin dashboards, SaaS backends, marketplaces • Python — Django, FastAPI, scraping, AI workflow automation, data pipelines • Conversion-focused landing pages & high-performance sites • WordPress, Webflow, headless CMS (Sanity, Strapi) • E-commerce — Shopify, WooCommerce, custom checkout flows ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TRACK RECORD ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Scaled LCX user base 10K → 150K+ (Head of Marketing, 4+ years) • Drove $50M+ revenue across 12+ token sales & product launches • Grew social audiences from 0 → 120K+ followers • Led 25+ growth campaigns across lifecycle, referral, and paid • Reduced CAC by 35% at LifeAI (AI healthtech) as fractional CMO • Built a Meta Ads → WhatsApp lead-gen funnel for a D2C travel brand • Built and led growth teams of up to 25 people ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ MY STACK ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Automation: Zapier, Make, n8n, custom Python scripts, GoHighLevel AI: GPT-5, Claude, custom GPTs, Midjourney, Creatify, HeyGen, ElevenLabs Growth: Meta Ads, Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, X Ads, GA4, Mixpanel, Hotjar, SEMrush, Ahrefs Dev: Laravel, PHP, Python (Django / FastAPI), Node.js, React, Next.js, MySQL, PostgreSQL CMS: WordPress, Webflow, Sanity, Shopify, WooCommerce ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHO I WORK BEST WITH ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Small and medium businesses that want lead gen, follow-ups, and reporting running on autopilot • SaaS founders who need a website + paid acquisition + automation wired together • D2C brands pushing past plateaus on Meta + Google • Coaches, consultants, and service businesses wanting lead-gen systems that run themselves • Fintech, crypto, and AI startups launching to a global audience • Founders who need a custom Laravel/Python build from someone who also handles the growth once it ships ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW I WORK ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. 15-minute discovery call — I diagnose your actual bottleneck (no SOW dump). 2. Tight scope, fixed milestones, weekly Loom updates. 3. You own all assets, accounts, repos, and IP. Always. 4. NDA on request before sharing anything proprietary. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I'm an operator, not a vendor. I built marketing and automation systems while running a real product, so I know the difference between "what looks great in a deck" and "what actually moves the needle when the CEO asks for results on Monday." If you're building something you actually want to win — message me with what you're working on and where you're stuck. I'll reply within 24 hours with an honest read on whether I'm the right fit. — Sumit Sagar
