Cold Email Strategist | Apollo, Instantly, Smartlead, & Lemlist Expert

I build and manage cold email systems that get B2B companies replies and meetings — not just "sent" emails. Over 7 years and 100+ full campaigns, working with US-based clients as a Top Rated Plus freelancer (top 3% on Upwork). What I actually deliver: Domain and inbox infrastructure that protects deliverability from day one — Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, custom SMTP, proper SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup, and inbox warmup before a single email goes out. Using platforms like Zapmail etc. Lead lists built for relevance, not volume — sourced and enriched through Apollo, Clay, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator, filtered to the ICP that actually converts for your offer. AI-driven enrichment and hyper-personalization — using Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, OpenAI to research each prospect and write emails that read like they were written by a person who did their homework, not a merge-tag template. This is what moves reply rates. Campaigns run in Instantly, Smartlead, Lemlist, Apollo, Kit (ConvertKit), with messaging and sequences A/B tested against real reply-rate data, not guesswork. Ongoing monitoring and optimization — deliverability checks, list hygiene, and message iteration based on what's actually landing, with regular updates so you always know where things stand. I work US timezone hours, respond quickly, and keep clients updated without needing to chase me. If your outbound is stalling — low replies, poor deliverability, or a list that isn't converting — I can diagnose what's actually broken and fix it. Available to start immediately.
