ShiFt (ShiFtNow.io) Outbound + Organic Inbound Client Acquisition System
Worldwide
Build, implement, and run a complete client acquisition system — outbound PLUS organic inbound (SEO + LinkedIn + email) — for an AI infrastructure company, with the strategy documentation already done for you. Expectation: calls, conversations, and booked appointments flowing within 30–45 days. I'm the founder of ShiFt (eWorkForce Technologies, Inc.). Through ShiFtNow.io, we custom-build AI-first lead conversion systems for legal and professional services firms — practices with real existing lead flow (ads, SEO, referrals, directories) that is leaking every day through missed calls, slow response times, zero after-hours coverage, and no attribution. We build the system; the client owns it. Own the system, own the data, own the attribution. Lead acquisition is an add-on service. Our entry offer — and the goal of every outbound conversation — is the GrowthBlueprint™ Audit: a diagnostic that quantifies exactly what the firm's lead leak is costing them. Your mission: build the machine that books those audits — an outbound engine for direct pipeline AND an organic inbound engine (SEO, LinkedIn, email) that compounds behind it — then run both. This is a rapid-results mandate: I expect real calls, conversations, and appointments on the calendar within 30–45 days of launch, not a six-month "wait for SEO to kick in" plan. Your strategy must sequence quick-win inbound plays alongside outbound so the two feed each other from week one. You will not be starting from a blank page. A complete campaign architecture brief already exists — ICP, pain map, competitive angles, messaging pillars, objection bank, reference cadence, qualification criteria, KPIs, and compliance guardrails. Review it before applying: Background deck: https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/660e5ff7-5d47-48e2-8bf6-89fdca779d01 (The deck covers two ShiFt brands — this engagement is scoped to the ShiFtNow.io surface only.) What you'll build and run Infrastructure — Sending domains, warm-up, deliverability setup, sequencer, dialer (if you recommend calling), enrichment stack, and CRM configuration with clean pipeline stages and same-day logging. Recommend the stack; I'll approve it. List engine — Fit-filtered lists of legal and professional services firms (roughly 5–50 professionals) with verifiable existing lead flow — running ads, paying for directories, investing in SEO — enriched with documented leak evidence (after-hours call tests, form response-time tests, review mining for "never called back" complaints). A proven leak is our coldest email's warmest opener. Outbound campaigns — Multi-channel cadences (email-led; LinkedIn and phone where they earn their place) built from the brief's messaging pillars, in our voice: consultative, precise, evidence-first, zero hype. Every claim backed by proof. This audience is partners and COOs — assume a lawyer reads every word, because one will. Organic inbound engine (SEO + LinkedIn + email) — Design and launch traffic-generation strategies that produce conversations fast, not just rankings later: Quick-win SEO: bottom-of-funnel pages targeting high-intent, low-competition queries our ICP actually searches (intake, missed calls, lead response for law firms / professional services), on-page and technical fixes on shiftnow.io, and Google Business Profile optimization — prioritized by what can realistically produce inquiries inside the 30–45 day window, with a longer-horizon content roadmap behind it LinkedIn organic: a founder-led content and engagement system (posts, commenting strategy, connection flows on David's profile and/or a company page) that turns visibility into DM conversations and booked audits — you draft, David approves Email/newsletter: capture and nurture — turn site visitors, deck viewers, and non-converting outbound replies into a permission-based list with a value-first nurture that books audits over time Meetings — The output that matters, from BOTH motions: qualified GrowthBlueprint™ Audits booked and held — target measurable calls, conversations, and appointments within 30–45 days of launch — with complete handoff notes and source attribution (we practice the attribution we preach). Reporting & iteration — Weekly pipeline reviews covering outbound AND inbound (traffic, conversations, meetings by source), message and content testing, and a monthly retro that codifies what's working back into the playbook. Must-haves Proven track record building tailored go-to-market and cold outbound systems for B2B — ideally for AI SaaS, marketing agencies, or productized services — that filled real sales pipelines and drove discovery calls, not vanity metrics Demonstrated ability to generate organic inbound results fast: quick-win B2B SEO (bottom-funnel pages, technical/on-page, GBP) and LinkedIn organic strategies that have produced actual conversations and booked calls within 30–60 days — with examples Hands-on expertise across the full stack: deliverability, domain strategy, list building and enrichment, copywriting, sequencing, CRM architecture The judgment to write for a risk-aware, brand-protective professional audience — managing partners, firm owners, COOs — where understatement and numbers win and hype gets deleted Fluency in outbound compliance: CAN-SPAM, TCPA (no cold SMS, ever), DNC hygiene — non-negotiable here Comfort being measured on booked-and-held qualified meetings Nice-to-haves Experience selling into legal, financial, consulting, or other professional services Case studies with AI SaaS or agency clients (you'll be asked for these — see below) Founder-brand / ghostwriting experience on LinkedIn (you'll be writing in David's voice) Programmatic or AI-assisted SEO experience for fast bottom-funnel page coverage Personalized-video outreach chops (a 90-second teardown of a firm's own intake leak is one of our strongest plays) Engagement structure Start: paid discovery/build sprint (infrastructure + lists + v1 outbound campaigns + quick-win inbound plays live), then ongoing monthly engagement to run and optimize both motions against the 30–45 day results milestone Hours/budget: propose what the scope genuinely requires — I'd rather see an honest plan than a low bid Long-term potential: ShiFt operates a second GTM brand; strong performance here can expand into owning outbound across both To apply — answer these four questions (proposals that skip them are declined) Case studies: Share 1–2 examples (with numbers) of client acquisition systems you built for AI SaaS firms, agencies, or similar B2B services — at least one must show organic inbound results (SEO and/or LinkedIn) inside a 30–60 day window, alongside outbound results (reply rates, meetings booked, pipeline created). Tell me what you'd do differently now. The deck: Review the background deck linked above (ShiFtNow sections). What's the one thing in the strategy you'd change or challenge — and which legal practice area or professional-services vertical would you target first, and why? Stack: What sending/sequencing/CRM/enrichment stack would you deploy — and what SEO/content and LinkedIn tooling alongside it — and why? The 30–45 day plan: Sketch how you'd sequence outbound + quick-win inbound to have calls, conversations, and booked appointments happening within 30–45 days. 6 bullets or fewer. Be honest about what inbound can and can't deliver in that window — realistic sequencing beats big promises here. Start your proposal with the word "BLUEPRINT" so I know you read this far. Serious, systems-minded operators only. I care about precision, proof, and clean execution — if that's how you work, we'll get along well.
