Outbound engines for B2B teams.
Built to be owned, not rented.

Solo GTM Mechanic. 30-day builds.

(A special squad of copywriters was supposed to infuse this page with fluff and industry double-talk. Politely declined. Straight answers below. )

"What is the Outbound Engine?"

The Outbound Engine is your team's outbound system, end to end. Cold email and LinkedIn outreach. AI-assisted lead qualification. Full CRM integration.

Built in 30 days (or built on what you've already got), text and video manual, plus your team gets the know-how, so they run and tune it without me.

The software stack gets picked based on your situation, not somebody's affiliate list. Email infrastructure (domains, mailboxes) gets sized to your actual target audience, not to pad the bill.

One sequence rarely works on the first try, so three full tracks run in parallel, each with its own strategy, copy, and prospecting across email and LinkedIn.

After 30 days you have a working system, yours forever. I check back at day 60.

"How is this different from outbound/lead-gen agencies?"

Four things, mostly:

  1. You own what gets built. Agencies rent you their system; when the engagement ends, you have nothing to keep. Yours keeps running after I'm gone.
  2. The person you talk to does the work. No account managers, no files passed down a chain of freelancers.
  3. 30 days for the build. Built once, documented, your team runs the system in between. No multi-month retainer lock-in.
  4. Less money, more runway. An agency bills several thousand a month or more, for as long as you keep paying. The build is a one-time fraction of that, plus low monthly tooling, which buys you the time outbound needs to find what works.

"Does this only work for cold leads?"

No. That is the most common thing teams get wrong about it.

Cold is the part people see. It's actually one system: email and LinkedIn outreach, sequencing, CRM, lead qualification.

It does not care if a lead is ice cold or already half-warm: customers who churned, trials that went quiet, the people who grabbed a lead magnet and vanished, cobwebbed contacts decaying in your CRM since 2022. Same system, different list.

It is yours to aim. Send it after any list, wherever the real opportunities are.

"Is this for me?"

Five things should be true.

  1. You can explain what someone can buy from you today, in a few sentences. Out loud, to a stranger at an event, no slides. (Sounds basic, isn't. A fluent vision pitch doesn't count. The bar is naming what's for sale now.)
  2. Your offer already sells. Not perfectly, not at scale, but somebody is paying you for it and you know roughly who. (Cold outreach doesn't fix a broken offer. Watched that play out enough times to know.)
  3. You've either run outbound and want it done right this time, or you have a specific reason it's the channel now. (Outbound just one of many channels you're vaguely curious about? Not this build.)
  4. You can comfortably cover both costs, the one-time build and the monthly tooling. Neither is a stretch. (Numbers come later. If covering them is your last pile of cash, the pressure to see results in 30 days breaks the build. Wait until it's comfortable.)
  5. You actually want to own the engine and have your team run it after handoff. (If you'd rather just be handed results forever, the agency model fits better.)

All five true? Book a call.

A point or two short and you want to close the gap? Email the situation, not a call. Quick fixes come back to you in writing (async by preference, not a brush-off). If it really needs a call, we keep it short.

"Can you show examples?"

Bragging time:

  • Started with this client when it was two co-founders and built their outbound engine from day one. They raised $245M and exploded past 150 employees in 18 months, so the engine had to scale with them, rebuilt and tuned the whole way to carry the bigger org. Every new sales and marketing hire still onboarded through briefings with me, even with full text and video documentation in place.
  • One international machinery client (~$1M+ per unit) was running outbound by sending one email blast per year. Over the next 2 years, built their full outbound engine from scratch, account-based by design given the deal size, and ran it across multiple country territories, filling their pipeline with new opportunities (>$20M) and reviving leads they'd written off as dead.
  • Four years building and running the outbound engine for a US ground transportation company, alongside their VP of Marketing. Dozens of campaigns across multiple market segments and verticals. Over $34M in opportunities generated.

"Why don't you promise meetings?"

Because outcomes aren't only about the engine.

The engine runs reliably. Replies, meetings, and pipeline depend on your offer, your audience, and how your team operates the system after handoff. None of those depend on the engine itself.

What I can promise: a working outbound engine in 30 days, documented and transferable. Yours forever.

If a meeting guarantee is non-negotiable for you, this is not your build, and that is fine. The ones who guarantee a number have already priced in losing you the month it doesn't deliver. Avoiding that is the whole point.

"Why did you build it this way?"

Ran the full done-for-you agency model for years. Same arc every time: big promises up front, a burst of activity, then around month three the numbers don't hold and the client churns. The retainer pays for activity, not outcomes. I come at this as an engineer, not a sales guy, and the part I couldn't unsee was the waste: every engagement rebuilt the same system from scratch, and the client kept none of it.

Dozens of engagements in, one client made another way click. Their offer wasn't outbound-ready and I told them so. Declined the full-service engagement. They came back: "OK but can we do something?" Sure, but only for what I could actually stand behind. "I can build the engine. The engine I'll guarantee. What happens after (results or no results) depends on your offer and how your team runs it. You'll have a reliable system to test, tune, and figure out what actually works." That conversation became the template for every fit-issue client after.

"How much?"

$5,900. One-time. 30-day delivery. That is the build cost.

Running it is the other cost: the tools (cold email platform, LinkedIn tool, CRM, data sources) are billed by their providers, monthly, sized to your audience. Plan on roughly $200 to $1,000 a month depending on volume. Why it works that way is the next answer.

Need more later, like CRM migration, extra tracks, or cold calling? Those are defined add-ons, scoped during discovery, no surprise upcharges. Want me running or tuning it after handoff instead of your team? I can stay on a bit longer for that, not the default. Both covered properly further down.

For the $5,900, you get the full Outbound Engine: cold email, LinkedIn outreach, AI-assisted lead qualification, CRM integration, three parallel tracks, documentation, and team training. Everything described in the Q&As above. Yours forever.

"Why isn't software included?"

Because tool choice should answer to your situation, not to my margins. Put software in the build price and selection quietly becomes about affiliate commissions and padding the bill. So the build price stays the build price, and the tools stay on your accounts. Swap any of them whenever. The day this engagement ends, they keep working. They're yours.

Exact costs get budgeted together during scoping, before you sign. No surprises.

"How long?"

30 days. From kickoff to handoff. Plus a check-in at day 60 to see how the system is running in your hands.

Why 30 days and not longer? Most builds run on this timeline when responsiveness is timely. Longer timelines invite scope drift; 30 keeps focus.

One asterisk, stated here and not buried in the contract: 30 days assumes 48-hour response time from your team. If communication slows on your side, the clock pauses, and work continues until the build is done. No surprise overruns billed to you. No rushed handoff that's missing pieces. Hidden conditions are how engagements get burned. This works when both sides own their part: the operator delivers the system, the client stays responsive.

"What about cold calling?"

Not standard scope. The Outbound Engine is built around cold email and LinkedIn outreach. Cold-calling can still be plugged in: bolted on during the build (numbers, dialer, CRM logging, script frameworks), or planned in upfront so it drops in later. I build that capability; your team runs the dialing, not me.

"What if I just need part of the work?"

The Outbound Engine is built as a system. The pieces are interdependent. Copy depends on the prospecting strategy. Prospecting depends on infrastructure. Infrastructure depends on the audience size. Pulling one piece out doesn't create a working engine. It creates a fragment.

Already running something, even a manual, half-wired version? You are not disqualified, and you do not start from zero. That is still a build, scoped to what you already have. You do not pay to rebuild what works; you pay to automate, orchestrate, and finish what does not.

"What if outbound isn't right for me?"

Outbound is not for everyone, and saying so is part of the job. It is the wrong channel when the offer has not sold through anything yet, when the deal size is too small for the CAC math to work, when the audience is small enough that referrals or paid beat it, or when no one on the team can field a lead after handoff.

If that is you, outbound is not the move yet, and forcing it just buys a system that cannot perform. Some businesses grow faster on paid, content, partnerships, or referrals.

"Do you have testimonials?"

Yes, plenty. A sample below. Cherry-picked but verbatim, because nobody has time to screenshot every single one.

"Nenad did a great job... ultimately transferred the knowledge to our in-house team, so we're now able to continue the efforts ourselves."

Alexander Caravitis, Co-founder & CEO, Hosthub.com (ex co-founder of Viva Wallet)

"Nenad was a great resource in my previous business, helping my team set up cold email infrastructure correctly. He's really knowledgeable about emails in general, has a lot of experience, a strong technical understanding, and has the ability to explain complex concepts in simple ways. I'm working with Nenad in my new business endeavors, and I look forward to working with him in the future."

Andrew Jacoby, founder of multiple businesses

"I've hired Nenad to help me choose the right cold emailing platform for my needs and migrate everything from the existing one. Nenad also put in place a Make integration between the platform and CRM. Nenad is extremely process-oriented, well-spoken, and easy to work with. His expertise goes beyond technical aspects, as he did a solid job of rewriting some of the copy."

Made it this far? Cool. Either you're seriously considering it, or you got distracted by the parentheticals. Both fine.

If outbound looks like the right move and the engine looks like the right fit, let's talk. 25 minutes, no slides, no deck, all about you.

By the end you'll have a clear answer either way: the engine is the next move, an add-on is enough, a different operator fits better, or there's homework to do first. No follow-up sales sequence.
