AI-Driven Outbound Sales Automation - LinkedIn and Email

Thrive Commerce is seeking an experienced freelance sales automation specialist to design and implement an AI-driven outbound sales and lead generation system. Thrive Commerce helps eCommerce retailers increase conversion rates, shopper engagement, and revenue through personalized promotions and offer optimization technology. We currently utilize HubSpot as our CRM and have an existing database of companies and contacts loaded into the platform. While HubSpot is our current system of record, we are open to adopting additional or alternative sales engagement platforms and email providers if they better support our objectives. Our primary goal is to increase the number of sales-qualified leads and booked meetings through a combination of LinkedIn outreach, automated connection requests and messaging, targeted outbound email campaigns, and AI-powered prospecting workflows. We are particularly interested in modern AI sales automation solutions that can effectively replace or significantly reduce the need for a traditional SDR function, leveraging tools such as Clay, Claude, Apollo, LinkedIn automation platforms, intent data providers, and other best-in-class technologies. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated experience designing and implementing scalable B2B outbound sales systems that generate measurable pipeline growth. Please include in your proposal relevant examples of similar projects, the technology stack utilized, key performance metrics achieved, and specific results related to increased qualified leads, meeting bookings, sales opportunities, or revenue generation. Budget flexible based on scope and experience.
