Hi! I’m an experienced Cold Caller and Virtual Assistant with a strong background in real estate, sales, and lead generation. Over the years, I’ve helped clients connect with motivated leads, qualify prospects, and book solid appointments that turn into deals.
✅ What I Do Best:
Outbound cold calling (real estate, SaaS, insurance, home services, etc.)
Qualifying leads by motivation, timeline, and property/market needs
Appointment setting directly into CRMs/calendars
Building and maintaining cash buyer lists for wholesalers
Virtual assistant support (CRM updates, spreadsheets, follow-ups, skip tracing, admin tasks)
📊 I’m comfortable using tools like Mojo Dialer, CallTools, Google Voice, Podio, Salesforce, and spreadsheets, and I know how to keep detailed notes to make sure no lead slips through the cracks.
I bring a confident and friendly phone presence, can handle objections professionally, and know how to build trust quickly. My focus is always on results generating qualified leads and booked calls so you can focus on closing deals.
If you’re looking for someone reliable, organized, and skilled in cold calling and virtual support for real estate or other industries, I’d be happy to help!

Hi, I'm Trevor Brooks — an AI-Powered Revenue Operations consultant with 25+ years across marketing automation, demand generation, and CRM strategy. I help companies build AI-driven demand generation engines, automate operations with AI agents and workflows, and turn ideas into working products. My work spans HubSpot and Marketo automation, AI integration and consulting, and agentic AI systems that connect marketing, sales, and analytics into one revenue machine.
I work across three connected practices: marketing growth, AI enablement, and product building. Most clients start with one and expand as they see results. I've delivered for B2B SaaS, eLearning, and service businesses across all three.
** 1) Growth Marketing & Revenue Operations**
I help companies optimize their funnel, overhaul their CRM, and run full-funnel lead nurturing in HubSpot or Marketo — planned, executed, and scaled fast.
* HubSpot CRM setup & optimization (workflows, lead scoring, lifecycle stages, attribution)
* Marketo campaign architecture (smart campaigns, forms, lead syncs, engagement programs)
* Email & SMS automation (drip, re-engagement, onboarding, renewal)
* CRM + sales ops alignment (HubSpot–Salesforce integration, reporting dashboards)
* Lifecycle lead gen strategy (SEO/PPC + nurture + conversion)
Results delivered:
* Migrated 200K+ contacts from Marketo to HubSpot with zero data loss
* Reduced CAC by 40% through CRM-driven funnel optimization
* Increased MQL-to-SQL conversion by 35% with lead scoring + automation
* Cut churn by 30% with onboarding and re-engagement flows
** 2) AI Enablement **
I help companies actually put AI to work — not pilots that stall, but workflows that ship. I find the highest-leverage use cases, build the tooling, and train your team to operate it.
* AI opportunity assessment and roadmap
* Custom AI agents and skills for marketing, sales, ops, and finance
* AI workflow automation that connects to your existing stack
* Team enablement so your people become AI-native, not dependent on me
* Practical governance and guardrails for safe rollout
Results delivered:
* Built a suite of Claude skills spanning bookkeeping, brand building, and legal advisory
* Developed an autonomous buyer-intent signal-hunting system for lead generation
* Created a restaurant operations platform managing inventory, purchasing, food costs, and kitchen intelligence
* Built a work management tool that replaces expensive SaaS subscriptions
I build so you own the result — methodology and tooling stay with your business.
** 3) Product Building **
I help clients turn ideas into products — taking a concept from rough sketch to a working tool people can actually use.
* Rapid prototyping to validate an idea before heavy investment
* MVP design and build for web apps, tools, and internal platforms
* AI-native products with intelligence built in from the start
* Integration with your existing CRM, marketing, and data stack
* Built to hand off — you own the codebase and the methodology
** Tools I work with: **
HubSpot, Marketo, Salesforce, Zapier, n8n, Apollo, Zoominfo, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Mailchimp, Calendly, Typeform, Stripe
** AI & build tools: **
Claude, Replit, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, Arcade, Canva
Whether you need to fix your funnel, get real value from AI, or turn an idea into a working product, I can help you plan, execute, and scale.

I bring 20+ years of hands-on B2B sales and business development experience, helping startups, growth-stage companies, and enterprise organizations drive revenue through outbound sales, lead generation, cold calling, affiliate partnerships, pipeline development, and full-cycle closing. I specialize in revenue growth, customer acquisition, sales strategy, and appointment setting, with a proven ability to build predictable pipelines and convert prospects into long-term clients.
Accomplishments:
-$5M in new revenue for a software company by closing large government and education accounts
-40% increase in customer base and revenue in 60 days for a startup
-30% sales increase for a SaaS client through a partnership program I developed
-$3M in total revenue in my best year across multiple industries
-$2.5M in new policy premium in year one as a top-producing insurance agent, earning multiple awards for highest new account acquisition
-Built and led a team of 7+ sales reps to regional award winning status , while exceeding my own sales targets
What I Do
I own the entire sales cycle: prospecting, lead generation, pipeline management, discovery calls, presentations, negotiation, and closing. I self-source leads through cold calling,
LinkedIn, email campaigns, and strategic partnerships.
I've closed high-ticket B2B deals in SaaS, software development, government contracts, IT services, healthcare, insurance, and real estate. I know how to navigate long sales cycles and complex procurement processes.
How I Work
I built my sales career from scratch — cold-calling daily, self-sourcing 100% of leads, and closing deals across medical practices, manufacturing, professional services, and enterprise accounts.
I'm HubSpot Advanced Certified and proficient in Salesforce, Pipedrive, LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, Apollo, and Outreach. I use data and CRM analytics to optimize performance, but I close deals through real conversations and relationships.
AI Sales Systems I Build
I build AI-powered outbound engines from the ground up — automated account research, targeted list-building, and personalized outreach at scale using Claude, ChatGPT, Cowork, and Apollo, wired straight into their CRM. Pipeline fills faster and I am able to spend time selling instead of digging for leads. I still close the way I always have — real conversations — but AI is how I get in front of more of the right people, faster.
Who I Work With
Startups building their first sales engine, growth-stage companies scaling revenue, and enterprises launching new products. I take full accountability for bringing on new accounts and generating revenue.
You're hiring 20+ years of proven expertise and someone who delivers results from day one. My rate is $90.00/hr with a minimum 2-week engagement to start. I'm open to discussing hybrid compensation structures after an initial engagement period once we've established a working relationship and there's a clear path to earnings. Commission-only arrangements are not a fit.
