Hi, I'm Alex. I keep the prospecting going.
I've worked in marketing and production for 16 years and built with AI every day since November 2022. Now AI agents build the lists and draft the emails, and I make sure every one is right.

Prospecting, done by agents
AI agents build the lists and draft the sequences. I decide who belongs on them and check every message.
Most outreach fails before the first email.
For years I watched businesses buy a list, write one email for everybody, blast it and decide cold outreach doesn't work. The list was stale, the email was generic, and half of it bounced.
AI agents changed what a small sales team can do. Research that took a week now takes a fraction of that. What the agents still need is someone who knows who's worth emailing, what sounds human and what the rules are. That's me.
What you can expect.
Fit first
A short list of the right companies beats a long list of anybody.
Your voice
Every email sounds like you, and you approve it before it sends.
By the rules
Real sender, honest subject lines, a working opt-out, your own domain.
Straight answers
No promised reply rates. I'll tell you what's working and what isn't.
Want the rest of your marketing handled too?
