Mercy Ebere O.
B2B Outbound Sales & Lead Generation Specialist | Cold Email & SDR
Most outbound campaigns don't fail because of a lack of effort. They fail because targeting, messaging, data quality, deliverability, and follow-up aren't working together. I help B2B companies build and manage outbound sales systems that turn targeted prospect lists into replies, qualified conversations, and sales opportunities. I'm not just here to build a lead list, write a sequence, or launch a campaign. I can manage the process end to end, from identifying the right prospects and setting up outreach to monitoring performance, following up with leads, and keeping the sales pipeline organized. My focus is simple: better targeting, cleaner data, stronger outreach, and consistent execution. Results I've Delivered: Reply rates: Improved from 0.6% to 4.2% after refining the ICP and rewriting campaign messaging. Email deliverability: Reduced bounce rates from 11% to 1.4% through list cleaning and deliverability improvements. Appointment setting: Helped a SaaS client book 14 qualified calls in three weeks through a cold email sequence I built. Email infrastructure: Set up domains, inboxes, warm-up, and initial inbox placement within 10 days. Pipeline management: Managed lead pipelines and follow-up activities to support consistent prospect engagement and appointment setting. How I Can Help Your Business 1.
