Lead Generation Specialist – Use Video Prospecting to Build Pipelines
Tired of cold calling strangers who hang up on you? Want to actually build relationships with founders via personalized video outreach? Here’s what most sales / BD roles won’t tell you : most companies expect generic messages per day, spam LinkedIn, and hit dial times hoping someone picks up. They care about activity metrics, not actual relationships or revenue. We do the opposite.
