    Howdy Folks! 🤠 Danny here 👋 If you're like any of the 500 startups and SMBs I've helped, then I think I know why you're here. You’ve tried all different marketing strategies, but leads just aren’t coming in consistently. Maybe ad spend isn’t paying off, or referrals have slowed down. Your sales pipeline feels stuck and that's stressing you out as you know what that means long term. Either way, you need a reliable, scalable solution to drive qualified leads and sales conversations—without wasting time or money. That’s exactly what we do at ReddiReach. We specialize in organic Reddit marketing and AI-powered cold email lead generation to create a predictable, steady flow of high-quality leads for startups and SMBs. 🔹 Reddit Marketing: We engage in authentic, high-value discussions within niche communities (subreddits), driving traffic to your website and leads in your DMs. This strategy doesn’t rely on ad spend but still boosts visibility thanks to Reddit’s SEO partnership with Google. Posts rank on page 1, giving you a powerful inbound marketing advantage. 🔹 Cold Email Lead Gen: We use AI to pinpoint and engage decision-makers across industries, generating personalized outreach that converts. Our scalable approach delivers dependable lead flows and real business conversations. We use tools like Growbots, Instantly, Perlon, Reply.io, Clay, etc After 15+ years of helping 500+ startups and SMBs, I’ve achieved some big wins for clients: 💰 8-figure revenue increases 🚀 9-figure exits and valuations 📈 Consistent 20+ leads/day for individual clients ABOUT ME: I am a B2B sales growth and startup expert with 15+ years of experience helping companies implement strategies that will effectively, and efficiently, deliver them more revenue. Oddly enough, I had nothing to do with business in college, graduating with a music degree. But during my time there I learned about startups and got interested in starting my own company. Along with a friend (who was also NOT in business or tech) we started a software company and focused on the lean startup method. We built our MVP for $300 and our first customer paid $4500 for it. WE WERE HOOKED. Although we didn’t know anything about running a company, we stayed lean and learned tactics to grow without any resources. We did that for 5 years and exited, although the company is still around today. After that I had a moment of clarity that I could help multiple companies grow at once, which is why I got into consulting and love doing it today. Even though I'm a consultant, I still love learning as much as I can and staying on top of the bleeding edge of effective strategies. If you want to work with someone that is going to try their damndest to make things happen for you, then I’d love to hear from you about your project :) A few other things: 1. If you want to invite me to a job please SEND ME A PERSONAL MESSAGE. I get tons of invites each day, and decline almost all of them that don’t have a personal message. My hourly rate does assume at least 5 hours of work per week ongoing and I do have a minimum engagements that I'm looking for. Single hour consults are $150/hour ($75/half hour). Lead gen services are billed at a fixed price each month, and are usually $1200-2000/month. 2. I DON’T DO COLD CALLING, COMMISSION ONLY WORK OR FULL SALES/CLOSING. I'm an outbound/cold email and Reddit expert, NOT a inbound/newsletters/nurturing email expert. 3. I DON'T DO GUARANTEED RESULTS. I've had a ton of success for my clients but there are no guarantees in life, so you won't find them here either. I try my hardest for my clients, but that is it. 4. I’m not a huge fan of calls/meetings, as I believe them to be inefficient, at least for how I work. I do my best client communication over chat and email, which helps me serve all my clients in the best and fastest way possible. If you are expecting me to be on a bunch of calls or meetings each week, please look elsewhere. I also don’t work weekends, and have strict working hours during the week. 5. Only reach out to me if you are willing to tell me No after I give you a proposal. I don't mind being told No, but I HATE being ghosted after I take the time to talk to you and give you a proposal. 6. I’m looking to work with dream clients- people that understand stuff happens and can roll with the punches. Individuals that are top performers in their own field and good people as well. If you are just looking for a worker bee, or you micro manage your team, please don’t reach out to me. I have a very specific daily routine and method to my work. Clients who I deliver a 10X++ return to give me resources and trust, then let me loose to do my work. Clients who don’t work out are ones that are constantly taking me away from my goals of making their dreams a reality. I’m looking for the perfect fit here, and don’t settle for anything less.

With expertise in marketing, sales, finance, and strategy, I bring the tools needed to drive real results.

At Roivant, we raised billions in capital from top investors like SoftBank Vision Fund and Founders Fund, built a portfolio of 35 startups, and took the company public on the NASDAQ in 2021.

    Do you believe in unicorns? Well, I'm gonna make you a believer, because you won't find anyone else like me on Upwork (or the rest of the Internet) — The quick, elevator pitch version — I can help you launch your new product or startup, maintain or migrate your current software and help lead your engineering teams to turn your ideas into efficient software. I typically work with the following tech: Java (Spring Boot), Ruby (Ruby on Rails), Javascript (React, Node, Express, MERN), HTML/CSS, and AWS/cloud. — The longer, much juicier version — I've been doing software development for the last ten years. Sure, I have a degree in software engineering and various tech certifications, but I'm most proud of the following. I've: - Developed e-commerce websites with marketing and payment processing to help businesses sell digital products online. - Automated business processes to turn marketing, sales, and content production into systems that pretty much run themselves. - Led an engineering team and launched a “Netflix for English learners” online platform in China that included video streaming, live messaging, email marketing, quizzes, dynamic study guide generation, and more. - Worked with an AI startup to turn their figma designs into a sellable product to get investors and funding. - Set up marketing and lead generation systems for billion-dollar brands (some you've probably heard of). - Consulted with coaches, entrepreneurs, and marketers who work with large companies like Apple, Twitter, McDonald's, and more. - Trained and mentored junior engineers by reviewing their code, working with their PRs, and helping them grow as developers. - Made it to the top 1% of Upwork freelancers. — Here are just a few ideas of how I can help you — - You know your old software that hasn’t been updated in ages? Maybe it’s running slow, it’s no longer secure, or it’s just not doing what you want it to. Instead of throwing the whole thing away, let’s fix it and migrate it to newer tech while keeping your current version up and running. - You already have some engineers, but you need help guiding and managing them, or maybe you just need a developer with more experience. I can help lead your team to get stuff done. - You have a problem with your current business and want to get some custom software made to fix those problems. Maybe you want to save hours each week on reporting, you want to make sure it gets done right every time, or maybe you just hate doing it. Let’s get that off your plate so you can focus on other stuff. — Tech List — The big long list of tech I have used in production - not just followed some random tutorial - I’ve built real production software with these. Some of these are old since I’ve been doing this for a while: - HTML, CSS, SASS, SCSS, Stylus, CSS variables, flexbox, box model - Javascript, React, Node, Express, MongoDb, MERN, Angular, Pug, Backbone, Handlebars, Next, Webpack, npm, jQuery - Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Sinatra, Active Record, HAML, erb, Action Mailer, bundler, rake - Java, Spring Boot, Spring Data JPA, Hibernate, Maven - Amazon Web Services (AWS): API Gateway, S3 Storage, Lambdas, Step Functions, IAM, EC2 - Others: Docker, Bootstrap, Tailwind, and a ton of other stuff I’ve picked up over the years. - APIs: OpenAI, Stripe, a bunch more I’m probably forgetting. — Here’s what some people have said about working with me — “Thanks for your help. We were able to get six-figure funding and bring on some more full-time employees to grow the business.” - Software as a service (SaaS) founder. “You’ve been a huge help leading the dev team to get these features shipped.” - Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of an AI startup. “Thanks for fixing that bug. I’ll be back if I have any more issues.” - Owner of an e-commerce store “Josh, thanks for getting the app past the finish line and live. Can’t wait to start showing some more prospects.” Director of Technology of an education startup “Our other dev just stopped responding to all our messages so it’s a huge help you’re able to help get development started again.” - Tech lead of a software business – Shoot me a message and let's see if we can work together. –

    Hi! Welcome to my Upwork profile! I'm Natalie and it's very nice to meet you! I am currently working as a social media manager/website designer for clients locally in the United States, Mexico, and Spain and remotely all around the world. I have a BA in Hispanic Studies and a BBA in Finance. I am a native English speaker and fluent in Spanish. (Please take a look at my portfolio before asking me to send over examples. I keep everything current here: butkacreative.com/portfolio) Prior to venturing into the business world, I worked as a dental assistant for seven years. Below is an explanation of freelance jobs that I am currently seeking: 1. Brand Management (website and logo design, strategic plan to get started, social media page setup) - From ground zero to getting you on your own two feet and setting up everything for yourself, someone else, or myself to manage. 2. Social Media Audit - Are you feeling stuck? Has your business hit a plateau? Do your goals feel too out of reach? Sometimes a set of eyes outside of the box can help! 3. Social Media Content Creation & Management - Social media requires consistency and creativity and I understand you may not have the time or energy to commit to it. Here's where I'll come in and take the weight off of your shoulders so you can focus on your business. 4. Social Media Strategy Plans - Some people prefer to do their own social media but don't know where to start. I'll create a one month, three months, even up to a year plan for you! 5. Online Presence - Perhaps you’ve been hit with quite a few negative reviews and are looking for ways to be seen online more positively? I can help you set up a campaign to improve your score online! 6. Virtual Assistant - With 8 years of experience as an executive assistant, I’m ready to help you take off any admin tasks off your shoulders! From organizing travel bookings to insurance shopping to personal tasks, I would love to help out! **I do not work under the Upwork Time Tracker App.

    Over 20 years of collective experience in sales, SDR, appointment setting, plus an additional 6.5 years of consulting, coaching and/or building, discovering, researching, improving sales processes, scripts, and teams. I, personally, do all the work we agree to. Appointment Setting and SDR projects include cold calling, script building, market research, building teams... Sales projects include coaching team members one-on-one, doing live warm or cold calling, creating custom sales strategies, creating custom upselling strategies, creating custom training material, doing market research. TELEMARKETING - TELEPHONE SALES - CLOSER: Most of my sales experience is telemarketing. I have done inbound and outbound sales with major companies like U-Haul, at&t Yellow Pages, Verizon Yellow Pages. I, also, have experience doing consultative sales and structured script sales. My expertise is in: at&t Yellow Pages and Verizon Yellow Pages * closing * cold calls and new sales * current customer renewals * current customer upsells U-Haul * closing warm inbound leads into sales APPOINTMENT SETTING - SDR - LEAD GENERATION: * I do small and large cold call campaigns. * I research and track your results. * Due to my experience, I am able to create a baseline so you know what is achievable if you ultimately outsource to other appointment setters. My appointment setting clients see different results depending on their project. Some have seen averages of 1-3 solid appointments an hour every hour, others 1 appointment every 2 hours. Depending on demand, competition, quality of your product/service, quality of leads, average call times, results can also be 1 appointment every 2 or 3 hours and even 1 every 5 or 10 hours. I've had 6 clients in 17.5 years whose results fluctuated every 10 hours between 0-4 appointments. I’ve had around 6 clients who saw no results due to the high saturation of the market or incredibly poor lead lists. (So, yes, it does happen, but not often.) Every client is in their own market and numbers do vary greatly with each. Therefore, no guarantee of results. COACHING: Weekly or short-term coaching. My most recent clients: * a new salesperson who was achieving one sale per month her first year went to 6 sales per month on average her second year long after receiving coaching; * sales person who was lagging behind team became the team leader in sales after only one month of coaching; * overall team improvement, teaching best practices, creating proven scripts, analyzing and providing feedback from actual calls. Sales coaching projects include coaching team members one-on-one or collectively as a team, doing warm or cold calling, creating custom sales strategies, creating custom upselling strategies, creating custom training material, analyzing team calls.

How to shortlist sales strategy professionals

As you’re browsing available sales strategy consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a sales strategist who understands your industry so they can help you figure out how best to reach your target market.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., creating sales pitches for a call center).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular sales strategist.

How to write an effective sales strategy job post

With a clear picture of your ideal sales strategist in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective sales strategy job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From pitch decks to multichannel sales strategies, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, software, or marketing channels, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
