Darren A.
Cold Calling Specialist | Lead Gen & Appointment Setting
I don't just make calls — I build pipeline. With 20+ years of enterprise consultative sales experience across financial services (Fidelity, TD Ameritrade, UBS, Allstate), I bring a rare combination of professional credibility, objection handling instinct, and closing discipline to every outreach campaign. My background spans cold calling, appointment setting, lead generation, and multi-channel outreach across B2B and B2C environments. I've worked with tech firms, marketing agencies, financial services companies, and professional services firms — consistently delivering booked meetings, qualified pipeline, and revenue-generating conversations. What separates me from most BD contractors: I also build the AI-powered outreach infrastructure behind the calls. I've developed automated lead generation systems, CRM-integrated outreach sequences, and AI-assisted prospecting pipelines that make human outreach smarter and more targeted. If you want someone who can both run the playbook and improve it, let's talk.
