Is your sales pipeline suffering from the "feast or famine" cycle?
๐ Sales Development Representative (SDR) & Outbound Expert
โญ Specializing in B2B Prospecting, High-Volume Cold Calling & Omni-Channel Systems
Hi, Iโm Muhammad Zaid. Letโs face a hard truth: a sales pipeline built on "hope" and single-channel email blasts is a pipeline that is going to dry up. If you want predictable revenue, you need a predictable, math-driven outbound system.
I operate as your Full-Cycle Outbound Sales Engine. I bridge the gap between scraping raw, cold data and putting a highly qualified, budget-approved decision-maker directly onto your calendar. By combining forensic Lead Generation with aggressive Cold Calling and synchronized Omni-Channel Outreach, I bypass gatekeepers, handle objections seamlessly, and deliver meetings that actually convert.
Whether you are a SaaS startup, a marketing agency, or a high-ticket B2B consultancy, I engineer the outreach systems that fill your closers' calendars.
๐ MY CORE OUTREACH COMPETENCIES:
1๏ธโฃ Omni-Channel Outreach Campaigns (The Multiplier)
-Executing the "Surround Sound" strategy: Synchronizing cold calls with personalized cold emails and LinkedIn connections to surround the prospect and maximize reply rates.
-Setting up automated CRM drip sequences (GoHighLevel/HubSpot) to nurture warm leads who aren't ready to buy today, ensuring zero lead leakage.
2๏ธโฃ High-Volume B2B Cold Calling (The Spearhead)
-Executing 100โ150+ outbound dials daily using predictive dialers (Mojo, Kixie, Aircall).
-Utilizing psychological pattern interrupts to bypass receptionists and command the attention of C-level executives.
-Turning standard brush-offs ("Send an email," "We have no budget") into engaging, value-driven discovery conversations.
3๏ธโฃ Forensic Lead Generation (The Fuel)
and building high-intent lists of decision-makers matching your exact Ideal Customer -
Strictly verifying all corporate emails and appending direct mobile dials to guarantee a <1% bounce rate.
4๏ธโฃ Stringent Appointment Setting (The Result)
-Filtering out tire-kickers by strictly qualifying prospects using the BANT framework (Budget, Authority, Need, Timeline).
-Booking meetings directly into your calendar (Calendly) with detailed CRM briefing notes for a seamless handoff.

I'm Ehtasham โ a B2B Sales Specialist with 10+ years of experience turning cold prospects into booked, qualified meetings. I hold a formal degree in Sales & Marketing and I have built revenue pipelines for SaaS companies, digital agencies, high-ticket consultants, and real estate investors across multiple industries.

๐ ๐๐ญ๐๐ฉ ๐ โ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง
Every successful campaign starts with the right list. Using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, I manually build hyper-targeted prospect lists matched to your exact Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). Verified emails. Verified decision-makers. Zero junk data. Zero bots. Just clean, compliant, conversion-ready leads.
๐ ๐๐ญ๐๐ฉ ๐ โ ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐
Lists mean nothing without conversations. I execute high-volume, script-tested cold calling campaigns that cut through gatekeepers and connect directly with CEOs, CTOs, Founders, and key decision-makers. I don't read scripts robotically โ I have real conversations that create real interest.
๐ ๐๐ญ๐๐ฉ ๐ โ ๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐๐ญ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐
I never book a meeting just to fill a slot. Every prospect is rigorously qualified using the BANT framework (Budget, Authority, Need, Timeline) before they touch your calendar. Your closers only speak to buyers who are ready to buy.
๐ฒ ๐๐ญ๐๐ฉ ๐ โ ๐๐ฆ๐ง๐ข๐๐ก๐๐ง๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ก
It takes an average of 8 touches to secure a meeting. I synchronize cold calling with personalized email sequences and LinkedIn outreach into one unified follow-up system that keeps you top-of-mind until the appointment is locked and confirmed.
๐๐ก๐จ ๐ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก:

I don't just make calls and send emails. I run a complete, battle-tested outbound system โ from the first lead to the booked meeting โ so your revenue team can focus entirely on closing.

If you are looking for premium LinkedIn marketing strategy and ads, crafted and executed by a founder-level consultant with award-winning expertise and a smart, results-driven approach, you are in the right place!
I work with companies that recognise LinkedIn as one of their most important B2B marketing channels but havenโt yet used it to its full potential. Whether you are starting from scratch or have tried and failed due to weak strategy or scattered execution, I will help you build a structured, high-performing LinkedIn system.
As a founder and chief consultant of SmartB2B.Marketing, I have personally managed over 200 successful LinkedIn projects across B2B, B2C, and event companies covering LinkedIn advertising and organic. No outsourcing to juniors. No shortcuts. Just clarity, depth and results. My clients have achieved 3โ5x higher lead quality than with generic lead gen funnels, sub-โฌ30 CPLs on highly qualified B2B LinkedIn campaigns and organic strategies that deliver weekly inbound leads. You will find case studies and testimonials in my portfolio, but the short version is this: I deliver what I promise, and I donโt work in half measures! My approach is sophisticated, non-invasive, and built for real outcomes.
I have specialised in LinkedIn for over 5 years, backed by nearly 30 years of experience in marketing and communications. I have completed advanced LinkedIn marketing certifications and stay fully up to date with every platform change, ad format, and algorithm shift.
I have been providing presentations and training on LinkedIn for B2B and B2C companies at different international events, such as AdWorld Experience (Italy), and others. And a LinkedIn marketing project for Digital Procurement World (Germany) got a Silver Award at Conference Awards.
WHAT I DELIVER:
I cover all three core pillars of LinkedIn marketing and can build a holistic strategy or focus on a specific area, depending on your needs:
โ LinkedIn Advertising
โ Campaign strategy, targeting, messaging, offer and format selection, A/B testing, optimisation
โ LinkedIn Organic
โ Content type selection, content calendar design, employee advocacy support and brand ambassador programme
โ LinkedIn Social Selling
โ Social selling strategy, LinkedIn Sales Navigator support, lead generation tactics
Beyond LinkedIn, I also offer strategic B2B marketing services that strengthen your entire funnel, such as:
- B2B content marketing strategy development
- Lead magnet creation and delivery
- B2B marketing strategy development
Plus, I provide the diagnostics and support that most overlook:
- Audits of underperforming LinkedIn marketing and ad systems, identifying whatโs broken and fixing it
- Competitor analysis across LinkedIn ads, organic content, and offers
- Team training and upskilling: I regularly train internal marketing and sales teams to become LinkedIn experts
- Optimised company pages and personal profiles
Whether you need a complete system, a refined strategy, or expert-level execution, I will build it for you or provide your team with everything they need to run it in-house.
WHO GETS THE MOST VALUE FROM WORKING WITH ME?
I work best with two types of clients:
โ๏ธ Companies ready to invest in a premium partner for LinkedIn strategy and/or execution and understanding that thoughtful, founder-level work brings far greater ROI than cheap, task-based freelancing or factory-style content.
โ๏ธ Teams who want to execute in-house but need a crystal-clear LinkedIn blueprint with every detail mapped out, from targeting and messaging to content structure and ad formats.
Most of my clients are B2B companies, but I also work with selected B2C brands and event organisations, especially when offers are complex, the decision cycle is long, or the audience is high-value.
I also help founders and senior experts build strong thought leadership on LinkedIn, though I take on fewer personal branding projects by choice.
WHAT I VALUE AND WHAT I EXPECT FROM CLIENTS:
I care deeply about depth, quality, professionalism, and structure. I work fast but never shallow. I ask tough questions, build complete systems and I care about outcomes, not just outputs. If you share this mindset, we will get excellent results together.
WHO SHOULD NOT WORK WITH ME:
- Clients looking for the cheapest freelancer
- Those expecting to micromanage or control execution without trusting the process
- Teams that do not provide essential input
- People who miss deadlines, ghost communication or treat LinkedIn as a low-priority side task
- Anyone expecting me to execute a strategy I have not designed
If you are not serious about building a credible, effective presence on LinkedIn, I am not the right partner for you.
_________________
If you want a strategic partner, not just a task-taker bringing clarity, depth and award-winning execution to your LinkedIn marketing, letโs talk. I work with a small number of clients at a time to ensure full focus and real results.

My systems have produced 34,000+ verified B2B contacts, $410K in client revenue, and surfaced over $800K the business had no view of.
I'm Hisham Hanawi, and I build the operations systems a business runs on.
Most companies lose hours every week to work that a system should be doing. Data copied between tools. Leads that go cold because nobody remembered. Reports rebuilt by hand every month. Two systems that disagree and no way to say which one is right. I turn that into automation that runs on its own, and I keep people on the decisions that actually need judgment.
How I build matters more than what I build with. Every workflow is idempotent, so re-running it never double-writes or double-sends. Spend is capped inside the workflow itself, so a runaway loop cannot bill you. Anything the system cannot decide confidently goes to a person instead of getting a guess. And every action is logged, so when someone asks what it did last Tuesday there is an answer. That is the difference between an automation that demos well and one you can leave running.
Recent work: a lead management platform delivered as a fixed-price install, a hiring pipeline built from eight n8n workflows behind a recruiter portal, a cold email system with per-inbox daily quotas and full deliverability architecture, and a retrieval system on Supabase pgvector where an answer with no confident source escalates to a human instead of being invented.
Stack: n8n, Make, Airtable, Supabase and Postgres, Python, Next.js.
Track record on this platform: Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success, 583 hours delivered, five stars on every job that was rated, including one engagement of 524 hours.
Tell me the process costing you the most time and I will tell you what automating it looks like, including the parts I would not automate.
