🏆 Top Rated Plus | 435 Jobs | 18,000+ Hours | 100% Job Success | $200K+ Earned Most clients come to me after wasting weeks on lead lists that never convert. Wrong titles, bouncing emails, zero context. I don’t just build lists. I build end-to-end outbound systems, from ICP research and enrichment to cold email infrastructure and live campaigns, so your pipeline actually fills. 8 years in B2B outbound. SaaS founders, healthcare, recruiters and agencies across the world. 🎯 What You Get ✔ ICP qualified lead lists with verified emails (95%+ accuracy) ✔ Signal based targeting: hiring, funding, tech stack, cash pay indicators ✔ Full cold email campaigns built, launched and optimized ✔ CRM enrichment and deduplication across HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, Pipedrive ⚙️ How I Actually Work 1. Collect the data I start with your real ICP. Not “CEOs in the US” but titles, company size, revenue range, tech stack, hiring signals, whatever predicts a fit. Then I pull the raw data from the right sources. 2. Classify and qualify with AI This is the step most freelancers skip. I build custom prompts in Clay, GPT and Claude AI based on your exact requirements, then score every lead. If it doesn’t match, it doesn’t move forward. 3. Enrich and find emails Only qualified leads go through waterfall enrichment across Apollo, Hunter, Prospeo and Leadmagic. More sources means fewer gaps. 4. Verify every email Each email runs through MillionVerify and Reoon. Catchalls get a second pass through No2Bounce. Deliverables stay, everything else gets removed. Your sender reputation stays clean. 5. Normalize the data First names and company names get cleaned. LLC, Ltd, Inc and all the extra text are removed. Because “Hi John Smith MD from Smith Dental LLC” kills a cold email instantly. 6. Write the sequence Personalized subject lines and copy with a real pain point, clear CTA and PS line. Everything spintaxed so no two sends look alike. Emails stay under 100 words, readable in under a minute. Follow-ups written to feel like conversation, not a chase. 7. Optimize and launch Campaign behavior, delivery optimization, throttling, schedule and timezone targeting all configured before anything sends. I preview the full campaign, check it twice, then we go live. 📬 Cold Email Infrastructure & Mailbox Setup Before a single email goes out, I make sure your infrastructure is bulletproof: ✔ Domain setup: buying and configuring sending domains separate from your main domain ✔ DNS authentication: SPF, DKIM and DMARC records configured properly ✔ Email warm up: gradual ramp up to build sender reputation before campaigns go live ✔ Deliverability checks: inbox placement testing, blacklist monitoring, spam score audits ✔ Mailbox management: multiple inboxes rotated to maximize daily volume safely 🛠️ Tools I Use Daily ✔ Sequencing: Smartlead, Instantly, EmailBison ✔ Data & Enrichment: Clay, Apollo, AI ARK, FullEnrich, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Hunter, Prospeo, Leadmagic, Apify, Adyntel, Lusha, ContactOut, ZoomInfo, Crunchbase Pro ✔ Verification: MillionVerify, Reoon, No2Bounce, Zerobounce, NeverBounce ✔ AI Workflows: Claude AI, GPT, HTTP, Webhook, N8N, Make, Zapier ✔ CRM: HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, Pipedrive 🤝 Why Clients Keep Coming Back ✅ 435 projects delivered across the US, Australia and worldwide ✅ I own the whole system, not just one piece of it ✅ Scalable, with a team available for larger campaigns ✅ 40+ hrs/week availability and 24 hour response time ✅ I’d rather send 400 leads that convert than 4,000 that don’t Ready to build an outbound system that actually books meetings? Send me a message and I’ll get back to you within 24 hours. Tufael Ahmed Founder, Grownob LLC
