About me

I am Katya, a B2B marketing expert. I have spent the last ten years doing outbound for SaaS companies, agencies, and service businesses — first in-house, then running a lead generation agency, and now writing about the systems I use with clients.

This site exists because most lead generation advice online is written by people who have never sent a cold email at scale. You get lists of "best practices" with no numbers, no failure cases, and no mention of what breaks when you move from 50 sends a day to 500.

So every guide here is built the same way: I run the workflow against real accounts, record what actually happened — open rates, replies, meetings booked, deliverability damage — and publish that. Including the parts that did not work.

If you want the short version of how we review and update content, read the editorial methodology. If you want to see the tools I actually recommend, start with the comparison hub.

Where the experience comes from

2016 — 2019

Outbound Specialist, B2B SaaS

Ran cold email and dialer cadences for two US SaaS companies. Learned the hard way that a 60% open rate means nothing if nobody replies.

2019 — 2022

Head of Growth, Lead Generation Agency

Built list-building and sequencing systems for 40+ clients across agencies, professional services, and healthcare. Set the outreach standards we still publish.

2022 — Present

Founder & Lead Author, B2B Lead Generation Tools

Test Apollo.io, sequencers, and enrichment tools against real client accounts, then publish the workflows that actually move pipeline.

How I work

Test before recommending

Every workflow on this site is run against real accounts with real sends. If a tactic did not produce replies for a client, it does not get published.

Numbers over adjectives

Guides cite concrete open rates, reply rates, and cost per meeting. "Improve your outreach" is not advice — a 3-line subject under 45 characters is.

Update when tools change

Apollo pricing, deliverability rules, and enrichment limits change constantly. Guides are re-checked whenever any of them moves.

Say what does not work

Sections like "when this approach fails" exist on purpose. A guide that only lists upsides is a sales page, not a guide.
