I run a technical consulting business (embedded systems / edge AI for robotics and drone startups). I'm looking for someone sharp to handle outbound prospecting and qualification in English: running cold email + LinkedIn sequences, managing follow-ups, handling first-level replies, and booking qualified calls. You don't need a technical background — the technical conversations stay with me. What matters is that you write clean, native-level English, target precisely, and follow through consistently. I care far more about reaching the right 20 people than blasting 200 generic ones. What you'd be doing: - Outreach via cold email and LinkedIn to a defined target (CTOs / founders at early-stage robotics, drone, and IoT startups, US/UK) - Follow-up sequences and reply handling - Lead qualification and call booking - Simple weekly reporting (volumes, reply rates, calls booked) What I'm looking for: - Native or near-native written English - Real outbound/SDR experience (not just a list of certifications) - Precise, organized, reliable — someone who follows through week after week - Comfortable with tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator, cold email sequencers, CRMs How this works: To apply: skip the generic pitch. In the first line of your proposal, tell me the single most important thing you'd check before adding a contact to a prospect list, and why. Proposals that don't do this won't be read. Looking forward to reading the thoughtful ones.

The single most important thing I’d check is whether the prospect’s startup has raised seed funding in the last 18 months. Seed-stage CTOs and founders are the only ones with budget and urgency to evaluate edge AI solutions right now—older startups are still in R&D mode, and bootstrapped ones won’t have the runway to make a decision. Without this filter, you’re wasting time on leads that can’t convert, no matter how polished the messaging. Before applying, I mapped out a full prospecting strategy for this—targeting seed-funded startups in robotics, drones, and IoT with a 3-touch email sequence and 5-touch LinkedIn cadence, tailored to their last funding round. The goal isn’t volume; it’s booking calls with founders who’ve already signaled they’re ready to buy. How this works in practice: I’ll run weekly list reviews to remove stale leads, adjust messaging based on reply patterns, and flag unresponsive contacts for replacement. No fluff, no vanity metrics—just consistent follow-through on the right people. What’s your biggest frustration with past outbound campaigns—low reply rates or poor lead quality?

Hi, The first thing I’d check is whether the prospect has a real fit and buying signal, not just the right title. For this type of outreach, adding 200 random CTOs will not help if the company stage, technical focus, and current need are not aligned. I’ve handled B2B outbound campaigns where quality targeting and follow-up structure were the main reason replies turned into real opportunities. One campaign I worked on for a marketing agency reached around a 35% open rate and converted roughly $18k in 2 weeks by testing focused audience segments instead of broad volume. For your consulting business, I’d keep the list tight, write natural messages, track replies properly, and focus only on prospects who match the technical direction. Best, Hamza

The single most important thing I check before adding a contact to a prospect list is whether they are actually the decision-maker (founder, CTO, or relevant technical leader), because even a perfectly targeted company is wasted effort if outreach goes to someone who cannot influence the buying decision. I can help manage your outbound prospecting process end-to-end, including LinkedIn outreach, cold email sequences, follow-ups, lead qualification, CRM updates, and appointment booking. I have experience with lead generation, customer communication, CRM management, and administrative workflows, and I focus on quality targeting rather than mass outreach. Clear, professional English communication and consistent follow-up are priorities in every campaign. For €5 EUR/hour, I can provide reliable ongoing support, weekly reporting, organized lead tracking, and qualified call booking while ensuring outreach remains personalized and relevant to robotics, drone, and IoT startup audiences. I'm available to start immediately and can adapt to your preferred tools and workflow. Samiha S.

The single most important thing I check before adding a contact to a prospect list is whether the company genuinely fits the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), because even a perfectly targeted job title is unlikely to convert if the business has no real need for the service being offered. Hello, I have hands-on experience with outbound prospecting, lead generation, cold email outreach, LinkedIn engagement, and appointment setting. My approach focuses on quality over quantity—researching each prospect carefully, personalizing outreach, and maintaining consistent follow-up sequences that generate meaningful conversations rather than generic responses. I am comfortable using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, CRM systems, and email sequencing tools to identify decision-makers, manage pipelines, handle first-level replies, qualify leads, and book meetings efficiently. My written English is professional and concise, allowing me to communicate effectively with founders and CTOs in US and UK markets. I am organized, reliable, and committed to delivering consistent weekly results with clear reporting on outreach activity, response rates, and booked calls.
