Muhammad U.

I'm a B2B SDR and lead generation specialist. I build prospect lists in Apollo, Clay, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator, write cold email sequences, run LinkedIn outreach, and handle appointment setting for your sales team. Most outbound fails before the first email goes out. The accounts don't fit, the titles are wrong, or half the emails bounce. My background is research-heavy, so that's the part I'm strictest about. Across 85+ Upwork jobs and 630+ hours, I've built and enriched prospect lists for clients in the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia. From 2022 to 2026 I worked as a lead sourcing and appointment setting rep at SimulTrayd, handling LinkedIn outreach, follow-ups, CRM updates, and meeting scheduling for the sales team. I work US Eastern business hours, so I'm online while your team is. WHAT I HANDLE 1. ICP and account research We agree on target accounts by industry, headcount, location, and tech stack. I research them in Sales Navigator, Apollo, and company websites, and flag the ones that don't fit before they waste a send. 2. Decision-maker research and data enrichment I find the actual buyers inside each account (founders, VPs, heads of sales, marketing, ops, or IT). Missing emails, phone numbers, and LinkedIn URLs get filled through Clay and Apollo, and every email is verified with NeverBounce or ZeroBounce before it goes into a sequence. 3. Cold email copy I write personalized first lines and follow-up sequences built around each prospect's role and company. 4. LinkedIn outreach Connection requests, follow-up messages, and reply handling through your profile or Sales Navigator, paced to stay inside LinkedIn's limits. 5. Lead qualification and appointment setting When prospects reply on LinkedIn, I qualify them against your criteria, handle the back-and-forth, and book meetings on your calendar. 6. CRM updates and reporting HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, or Google Sheets stay current, so you always know who was contacted, who replied, and what's booked. PYTHON SCRAPING AND ENRICHMENT When the data isn't in Apollo or Clay, I write Python scripts to pull it from directories, event exhibitor lists, association member pages, and niche websites. Then I clean, dedupe, and enrich it into a list you can actually send to.
