Sales conversations, every week.

We build and run the system that finds companies with a real reason to buy from you, writes personal emails you approve, and follows up until they answer. You take the calls. Nothing goes out without your yes.

This week, while you worked
  • 60companies checked against your ideal client
  • 14with a live reason to buy from you
  • 9personal emails waiting for your OK

We build the business developer that never clocks out.

Most growing B2B firms win work on referrals and the founder’s evenings. We turn finding and following up into a system that runs every weekday, and hand you the conversations.

Pipeline
We live on referrals, and they’ve slowed right down.→ Companies with a reason to buy, every week
Hiring
We need a business developer, but can’t justify the salary yet.→ A system before a salary
Follow-up
We send one email, then never get round to the follow-up.→ Follow-ups that never slip
What we run

Six jobs a business developer does. Done daily.

Built around how your clients actually buy. Small numbers of well-chosen companies, each with a reason to hear from you now.

See engagements
Finding

A reason to talk, today

Job ads, contract awards, new sites and growth news, searched every weekday for companies like your best clients.

Checking

Right size, still relevant

Every company checked against your ideal client, with the evidence and the right person to contact.

Writing

Emails that sound like you

A personal first email for each company, written from what we found, in your tone. Approve in one tap.

Following up

Persistent, never pushy

Three follow-ups over three weeks, each a different angle, then a polite close. Out-of-office replies handled.

Pipeline

Every conversation, visible

Who’s been contacted, who replied, who’s due a nudge, and a weekly scorecard of what’s working.

Deliverability

Emails that land

Sending set up properly on your domain, sensible daily limits and opt-outs honoured, so you reach inboxes.

Process

From first call to booked calls.

Small and agreed in writing before anything starts. You see real companies and real drafts in the first test week.

01

Define

Week one

Your best clients, the signals that say a company needs you now, and your voice.

02

1–2 weeks

Sources, checks, emails and follow-ups set up in your accounts, with sending done properly.

04

Run & grow

Monthly

Fresh companies every weekday, judged on replies and calls booked.

Standards

Nothing goes out without a human yes.

Outreach done badly burns your name. These rules are built into everything we run for you.

  • Approval before sending

    Every first email and follow-up waits for you. Approve one, edit it, or approve a whole day at once.

  • Small numbers, real reasons

    No bought lists, no blasts. Each company is there because of something specific and recent.

  • Opt-outs honoured, always

    Anyone who asks not to hear from you again never does, across every list.

  • Inbox-safe sending

    Your domain set up properly, daily limits respected, and bounces caught before they hurt you.

  • You own everything

    Your accounts, your contacts, your data. If we stop working together, it all stays with you.

  • Honest numbers

    A weekly scorecard of what was sent, opened, replied and booked. No vanity metrics.

Sources

Where your next clients show themselves.

Companies announce they need you all the time: they hire, they win contracts, they open sites. We watch the places they say it.

Job boards, Reed, Indeed, LinkedIn Jobs, Adzuna, Contracts Finder, Find a Tender, Companies House, PeoplePerHour, Upwork, trade associations, local news, Gmail, Outlook, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Google Sheets, Slack.

We use public, business information only, and we’ll tell you plainly on the first call which sources suit your market.

Compared

Why a system, not another hire.

Most of a business developer’s week is finding and following up. That part runs better as a system; the conversations stay with you.

Start small. Keep it running if it works.

Questions

What owners ask first.

Anything else, ask in the form and we’ll answer before any call.

Isn’t this just spam?

No. We contact small numbers of businesses that have a specific, current reason to talk to you, with a personal email that says why. Anyone who asks not to hear from you again never does.

Do the emails come from us?

Yes: from your domain or a sending address set up for it, in your name and your voice. Replies come straight to you.

Do we approve everything?

Yes. Nothing is sent without your OK. Once you trust it, you can approve a whole day’s emails in one go.

How many conversations will we get?

It depends on your market and what a good client is worth. We run a test week with real companies, then agree realistic targets together.

Is it GDPR-friendly?

We only contact businesses, about something relevant to their work, and every email offers an easy way out. We’ll walk you through how that fits your situation.
