Zak

B2B Sales Development Rep with 4+ years closing deals, building pipelines, and turning cold outreach into real revenue. I combine a copywriter's instinct for messaging with a salesperson's drive for numbers — which means my emails get opened, my calls get answered, and my prospects actually show up to meetings. I've worked across real estate, FMCG, tech, and consumer brands, managing full sales cycles from prospecting to handoff.

I know how to find the right people, online and offline, say the right thing, and follow up without being annoying about it.
