Started off by sending manual B2B emails with Gmail in 2019. Was blown away by the results possible using sales automation, so I became an SDR.

Few years later, moved into an SDR Manager position, leading a team of 10 SDRs. Then AI came along. Found Clay + Smartlead that allowed me to replicate the work of 10 SDRs. Went to learn the full outbound campaign management – from list building to infrastructure setup. Ran outbound campaigns for 10+ companies, worked at 2 outbound agencies. Now I help B2B companies build outbound systems so they can test ideas weekly, not quarterly.
