B2B Lead Generation | Sales Development | Apollo | LinkedIn Outreach
$50K+ earned on Upwork | 111 contracts delivered | 14,000+ hours logged I build predictable B2B revenue pipelines. If you need qualified meetings on your calendar, a CRM full of warm prospects, or an outbound engine that runs without you — that is exactly what I deliver. I am the founder of CrewNexa, a 100+ person company I built entirely through outbound sales — no ads, no inbound marketing, just cold outreach done right. Our client roster includes NYSE-listed enterprises, US government-funded training programs, and global SaaS platforms with 30M+ users. Every one of those accounts started as a cold email or a LinkedIn message I personally wrote. WHAT I DO FOR CLIENTS Outbound Lead Generation ICP definition, prospect list building (Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, Lusha), verified email collection, and multi-channel outreach sequences that book qualified discovery calls. Email Outreach at Scale Cold email infrastructure setup, domain warming, deliverability optimization, and A/B tested sequences using Instantly, Smartlead, Lemlist, and Woodpecker. I consistently hit 60%+ open rates and 8-15% reply rates. LinkedIn Sales Strategy Profile optimization, connection campaigns, personalized InMail sequences, content-driven inbound, and LinkedIn Ads targeting for B2B decision makers. CRM and Pipeline Management Full pipeline setup, deal stage configuration, automated follow-ups, and reporting dashboards in HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, and Close. Sales Process Design From first touch to closed deal — I design and document repeatable sales playbooks, call scripts, objection handling frameworks, and handoff processes between SDR and AE teams. Market Research and Strategy TAM/SAM/SOM analysis, competitor mapping, buyer persona development, ICP validation, and territory planning for new market entry. PROVEN RESULTS > Built CrewNexa from zero to 100+ employees through outbound sales alone > Acquired enterprise clients including Veeva Systems (NYSE: VEEV), Remind (30M+ users), and Coffee Networks (global marine IT) > Managed $50K+ in Upwork contracts across 111 engagements with consistent 5-star delivery > Set up and scaled outbound systems generating 50+ qualified meetings per month for SaaS and tech services clients > Operated across US, EU, Australia, and Middle East markets with timezone-aligned availability TOOLS I WORK WITH Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, HubSpot, Salesforce, ZoomInfo, Lusha, Clay, Instantly, Smartlead, Lemlist, Pipedrive, Close CRM, Calendly, Loom, Google Workspace, Slack I work US and EU business hours. Response time is under 2 hours. If you want someone who has built a real company through the exact outbound systems he will build for you — let us talk.
