How to get ahead of 99% of outbound teams 🤫


If you send the same cold email to 50 people, you go to spam.

The fix:

Send 100% unique emails/DMs at scale.

How?

Salesforge.ai 🔥.

The only outbound platform with unlimited mailboxes & LinkedIn senders at no cost.

Their AI uses seller and buyer data to write one-to-one messages.

So when decision-makers read your pitch, they think:

"𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥."

Already tried this tool?

Salesforce closed a $5,600,000,000 deal with the US Army. 
Yeah, $5.6 billion.

Luck rewards persistence:

1 client can make you rich.

1 journalist can make you famous.

1 late night chat can change a company vision.

1 mobile database covers 300M professionals:

Prospeo.io

With triple-verified numbers.
And weekly refreshed data.

But none of it happens if you stop calling.

So keep showing up.

All you need is one.

Working inside your business can make you feel constantly busy.

The problem is that you often choose low-impact tasks you could have delegated.

For most companies, the only things a founder truly cannot delegate are hiring, strategy, and vision.

Everything else is delegable.

Every time you’re doing something, ask yourself:

Is this worth my time, or could someone else do it?

That’s how you build leverage.

That’s how your actions take you further.

That’s how your income stops being tied to the hours you work.

Making money with your time is the weakest model.

Making money with your ideas is better.

Making money with your money, letting capital generate more capital, is the smartest.

Ask yourself which stage you’re in and which stage you want to reach.

99% founders kill long-term progress with one mistake.

Lifetime compounding is not about being smart once.

It’s about acting in ways that don’t break your momentum.

Bad habits, bad people, and too much risk kill progress early.

Most people fail because they add one unnecessary mistake that resets their game.

You compound when you:

1. build habits you can repeat for years
2. stay inside what you really understand
3. let good decisions run without touching 'em

Which of these 3 are you already doing well?

99% of teams miss this KEY scaling lever 🤦🏻‍♂️


Hiring people who wait for instructions 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 scale.

You need people who:

1. Understand the current internal standard for their area
2. Own it end-to-end
3. Raise it through continuous iteration

That’s the difference between execution and compounding.

Companies scale when 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 raise standards.

Who’s the strongest process owner on your team?

THIS sales habit is killing your deals 🤦🏻‍♂️

(most reps still do it)


𝗗𝗢𝗡'𝗧 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴.

When a prospect says something inaccurate, don’t correct them directly.

That puts them on the defensive.

Instead, reframe it.

Say:

“𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀…”

You acknowledge their point, then add your insight.

People don’t buy when they feel challenged.

Keep them comfortable and confident.

Agree?

This is the output.

I’m scared.

How to get ahead of 99% of founders (without working more).

Steal the system I use daily to scale my leverage:

1. 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.

Rank them 1, 2, 3…

Delegate #1 first.
Then #2. Then #3.

2. 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 3 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆.

Example: closing deals, hiring A-players, strategic partnerships.

Every hour freed from list #1 goes straight into list #2.

That's how you move from operator to builder.

Work on the business.
Not inside of it.

99% of founders fail at this one thing ⬇️


Being part of a company is like playing a team sport.

But only best teams ensure every member plays in their 𝘇𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘂𝘀 (ZOG).

Keeping a startup mindset is key:

Execution must always come first.

1/ By executing you generate iterations.

2/ Iterations create data.

3/ Data show you how to better serve your market.

Founders must know what’s outside of their ZOG and delegate that to teammates who can excel there.

👽 Find your ZOG by

This tool made Apollo irrelevant for list building 💀

3 ways you let the wrong people slow you down:

The people around you are not a coincidence.
They’re a mirror of your self-worth.

Time is your main currency.
How you spend it reveals what you tolerate.

How people act tells you more than what they say.

→ Communication reveals reliability.
→ Punctuality measures respect.
→ Deadlines test discipline.

Those who fail at these are not “bad people.”

They simply operate on a lower frequency.

Let them go.

There’s no shortage of opportunity.

The real shortage is self-respect in those who keep working with people who don’t share their standards.

When you normalize disorder, you show that your boundaries are negotiable.

Life pays you based on the quality of your internal dialogue. Fix that first.

What’s the standard you protect the most?

If I had to grow again from 0 to 20K impressions per post on LinkedIn, this is what I’d do:

It's 50% networking with other creators..

AND

50% delivering valuable content.

CREATOR NETWORKING

Support creators who support you.
That's how you get initial traction.
But that's not enough to go viral.

To stand out you need:

STELLAR CONTENT

1. Reverse engineer viral posts

Repurpose their structure.
Plug in your narrative.

2. Write strong hooks

The only goal of the first line is:

- Giving context
- Being relevant
- Building curiosity

3. Write short posts

Time is currency.
Big creators can afford long posts.
You can't.

4. Educate, entertain, inspire

That’s what content should do.
You can do all 3 in one post?
You’ve cracked social media.

Initially I did all this manually.
Now I run this entire process in taplio.com.

Which are you stronger at:
networking or content?

TOP #1 cringe sentence ruining your cold calls:

(90% of BDRs still use it) 💔

“𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦”

Why it sucks:
If you bring value, time stops being the issue.

Better:
"𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘣𝘶𝘵…
𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵"

Your team’s time is too.
