๐ Before we get started, Iโll provide a complete profile audit so you can see exactly where your profile stands and how I would improve its positioning and performance.
๐๐ป Profile optimization isnโt a one-time task. I donโt make a few edits and disappear. I stay involved, refining your profile, keywords, and positioning until itโs fully optimized for better visibility and opportunities.
Winning new work should not feel like a guessing game. Most people keep sending outreach and hope one of them lands. That gets tiring fast, and it rarely tells you what went wrong. As a Proposal Writer and Business Developer, I have been through 1,000 proposals and 2,000 job posts to work out what makes a client stop scrolling and read. So you are not guessing.
My core job is simple. I find the opportunities that fit what you offer, check each outreach against your criteria before anything goes out, and write outreach built for that client. Never a template with a name dropped in. Volume on its own does nothing. Volume aimed at the right people, in writing that sounds like you, is different.
- Profile audit report showing what is holding you back
- Proposals and messages built around client pain points
- Keyword optimized profile so the right clients find you
- Real time alerts so your outreach goes out while the post is fresh
- Private client portal with live notifications and tracking
- Detailed analytics: sent, views and replies in one place
- A/B tested copy that sharpens as the data comes in
- Weekly calls and a written report on what was done
Your profile comes first. Here is the thing: the strongest outreach still struggles if the profile behind it is not convincing. People check you out before they reply. So I review yours against what affects how you show up in search, then tell you what is weak and what I would change. Then I rework the content and keywords so the right clients find you on their own. The same applies to your LinkedIn profile, and I handle both.
Once that is sorted, I set up filters and alerts around your niche, skills and live demand. Good opportunities surface while they are fresh, not two days later when fifty people have already had a go. I also catch ones posted in the wrong category, where good work sits with barely any competition.
Now the writing, because this is where most outreach falls apart. Every proposal, connection note and follow up is tailored, customized and personalized for the person reading it. Their role, their company, what they posted recently, and what you can do for them. I write in your natural tone, so it never reads like a stranger wrote it.
I use advanced AI in how I research and draft, and I would rather say that upfront than have you wonder. But the important part is which AI. I do not use a general purpose chatbot. The system I work with is trained on business development and lead generation data: real job posts, proposals that earned replies, buyer language, qualification criteria and the patterns behind what gets answered.
That distinction matters more than it sounds. A general model writes polished copy that says very little. A model trained on business development data reads a post the way a business developer does. It picks up what the buyer is signalling, which requirements are the real ones, where the budget sits, and which part of your background belongs in the first two lines. It then goes through your portfolio and pulls what matches this client. What this really means is each message is more specific to you, not less, because everything in it comes from work you have actually done. I read and adjust every one before it goes out.
The same thinking separates this from standard automation. Most tools send everyone an identical note with a first name swapped in, and anyone spots it in a second. I use an agent based setup, so each message is written for one person at a time, including follow ups.
What you get
โ Complete profile audit against current ranking factors, with what I would change.
โ Private client portal with your alerts, outreach status and results.
โ Fast turnaround, so everything is ready while the client is looking.
โ Ranking tracking, so you see which proposals pull attention.
โ Analytics dashboard with clear numbers on volume, views and replies.
โ AI trained on business development and lead generation data, not generic writing tools.
โ A/B tested copy, testing styles and formats, leaning into what pulls replies.
โ Weekly report on what went out, what came back, and what changes next.
We start with a short call so I understand your services, your pricing, and the clients you want or would rather avoid. Then I build your criteria, set the filters, and finish the profile work before outreach starts.
Send me a message and I will look at your profile, tell you honestly what I would change, and walk you through how this works. No pressure, no long pitch, just a clear next step.

Lisbon, Portugal
$15/hr$15 per hour5.0 (394) 611 jobs $200K+ total earnings
I help B2B companies figure out exactly who to sell to and why, then turn that research into outbound that gets replies. For 9 years and 550+ projects, I've handled the research most teams don't have time to do properly: ICP definition, market mapping, account qualification, and investor research, built on verified data rather than scraped exports.
โบ GTM & ICP Research
Defining your ideal customer profile, sizing the addressable market, and identifying the accounts and decision-makers worth pursuing. Signal-based prospecting using hiring, funding, tech stack, and leadership changes so outreach lands at the right time.
โบ Complex & Custom Research
The projects that don't fit a filter: niche agency and vendor sourcing, multi-criteria account qualification, trade show exhibitor research, competitor breakdowns, and manual verification where databases fall short. If the answer isn't in Apollo, I go find it.
โบ Investor Research
VC, PE, and angel mapping aligned to your thesis, stage, and sector, with fund activity, portfolio fit, and decision-maker contacts.
โบ Lead Lists & Clay Enrichment
ICP-matched contact lists built in Clay with waterfall enrichment across multiple providers. Every list is verified and CRM-ready on delivery.
โบ Cold Email Campaigns
Setup and management in Instantly and Smartlead: domain warmup, deliverability, sequencing, and A/B testing, so the research actually turns into conversations.
โบ CRM Cleanup & Enrichment
Deduplicating, structuring, and enriching existing CRM data so your team stops working off bad records.
Tools: Clay, Apollo, ZoomInfo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Crunchbase Pro, Instantly, Smartlead, Excel, Claude, ChatGPT
Who I work with: B2B SaaS and tech companies, VC/PE firms, agencies, and growth or outbound sales teams.
I don't hand off raw exports or half-built workflows. Everything I deliver is ready to use.
Tell me what you're trying to learn or who you're trying to reach, and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.
