03 / Working together

A visible process.
A clear next action.

I start by understanding what makes a prospect relevant, then use a small sample to check that we agree before expanding the work.

01Define the brief

Agree on your offer, target market, decision-maker roles, exclusions, deliverables and what a qualified result looks like.

Check company and contact evidence, retain source links and flag uncertainty. Review a small sample together and adjust the criteria before scaling.

03Personalize and coordinate

Agree on message positioning, communication channels and sending responsibilities. Track follow-ups and stop contact when someone declines or asks not to be contacted.

04Hand over and improve

Pass interested replies to your team with context. Review research quality, relevant conversations and next actions, then refine the next cycle.

04 / The person behind the work

Research depth.
Practical follow-through.

My background brings together more than six years in research, quality review, analyst training and partnership support, with an earlier foundation in development.

At SokolDev, my work spans research and R&D, training, workflow development and quality. My AlphaRose assignment connects those skills to investor research and founder-led relationship development.

I use AI-assisted tools where they help with analysis and organization, then review the evidence, context and final output. Clear sources and careful judgment remain central to the work.

Before we start

A few useful answers.

Can I hire you for research only?

Yes. Prospect lists, company research, comparisons and data-quality reviews can be scoped as standalone projects.

How do you define a qualified lead?

We agree on company fit, geography, product or service need and the right contact role before research starts. A verified contact is not automatically a buyer, and a public signal is not confirmed intent.

Do you guarantee meetings or sales?

No. We agree on the work and quality standards I can control, then track the actual responses. Meetings and sales also depend on the offer, timing, audience and your sales process.

Can you work with our existing CRM?

We can scope work around your current CRM or spreadsheet, keeping existing relationships, exclusions, ownership and contact history visible.

How do we agree on price and timing?

Share the audience, volume, research depth, channels and deadline. I’ll propose a focused scope, deliverables and fee before work begins.

How is confidential information handled?

Access and confidentiality terms are agreed for the engagement. Public case studies use aggregate results or anonymized examples; private contact lists, messages and meeting links are not published.

05 / Start a conversation

your prospect pipeline?
