Sound familiar?

You're one lost client away from a cash crisis — most of your revenue comes from referrals you can't control.

You sell hard when things are slow, stop when you're busy filling roles, then wonder why the pipeline is empty again.

You've tried cold email or LinkedIn before — burned your domain, got ghosted, and gave up.

You know you need a sales hire, but $100K+ and 6 months of ramp time with a coin-flip chance they quit? No thanks.

You ARE the sales team, the recruiting team, and the account manager — so new business only happens in the gaps, which is never.

Your revenue swings 50–80% between your best and worst quarters — and every July and December you're sweating payroll.

You're stuck under $1M because growth means selling AND recruiting at the same time — and there's only one of you.

We Learn Your Business
We Track & Pre-Vet
We Introduce You Directly
Watch me live

Watch me generate LIVE warm intros with a $137M startup, an $85M startup, and a mid-market PE software company.

This is one of the many processes we use — me running the full intro workflow on a real ICP, start to finish.

We don't spray and pray. We connect you to decision makers in your Ideal Client Profile.

Every day we track buying signals across your Ideal Client Profile. When a company shows real intent, we position you as the specialist who's solved that exact problem before, pre-vet the prospect to filter out tire-kickers, and introduce you directly to the decision makers.

Signals we monitor, daily
Hiring signals
Leadership changes
Board changes
Fundraising
Department growth
Product launch
Technology stack change
Aggressive hiring
Niche hiring

We do the opener, handle every reply, and pre-vet the prospect. Only the serious ones make it to you. No tire-kickers, no wasted calls.

Most outbound is a generic blast. Ours is a filtered, signal-first match.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

On average, the first qualified conversations arrive within 21 to 30 days, and the first signed agreement typically lands between day 26 and day 40. Best case: first qualified conversation in 3 days, first signed agreement in 6 days. Best case varies heavily by niche. Industry benchmarks for B2B outbound report first-meeting conversion within 4 to 6 weeks of consistent activity (RAIN Group, 2024).

Fill out a quick 5-6 question onboarding form on your niche and Ideal Client Profile. That's it. No tool setup, no kickoff call, no meetings on your side. After that, we handle everything: signal tracking, specialist positioning, opener copy, outreach, reply management, and pre-vetting the prospect. You get constant progress updates and market intel so you always have the upper hand. When a prospect shows real intent, we introduce you directly. You take the conversation and close.

No. We never send from your primary domain. We set up dedicated secondary domains with proper warm-up, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, completely isolating reputation risk from your brand. These authentication standards (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) are required by Google and Yahoo for bulk senders as of February 2024 (Google Workspace Admin guidelines).

We're not an outbound agency running generic blasts. We track buying signals across your Ideal Client Profile every day: hiring surges, funding rounds, leadership changes, product launches, office expansions. We only reach out when a company is showing real buying intent. We then position you as the specialist who's solved that exact problem before, pre-vet the prospect so tire-kickers never reach your calendar, and introduce you directly. On average, expect 3 to 6 qualified introductions (direct conversations with decision makers) within your first 60 days. Exact volume varies by niche. And because we only work with recruitment agencies, we understand PSL processes, vendor approval, fee negotiation, and the staffing sales cycle in a way generic outbound shops don't.

We've generated $627.5k+ in signed agreements across all clients. Before we onboard anyone, we assess fit based on your niche and Ideal Client Profile. We won't take your money if we don't think we can deliver results.

Pricing depends on your target market, volume, and goals. Get in touch and we'll give you a straight answer — no vague "it depends" runaround.
