At a glance
The professional capability this story demonstrates.
How outbound prospecting, consultative discovery, proposals, fee discussions, leadership alignment, and delivery handoff formed one full-cycle sales process.
Situation
The context David entered.
Founders and hiring leaders were evaluating recruiting support while balancing role urgency, candidate requirements, economics, and confidence in the delivery process.
Constraint
The constraint that shaped the work.
Pipeline generation and active opportunities both needed consistent attention. Messaging also had to improve as the team learned which problems and buying conditions produced meaningful conversations.
Responsibility
What David owned.
David built pipeline through targeted sequences, call blocks, events, and executive outreach, then owned discovery, proposal development, fee discussions, and delivery handoff.

- Prioritize targeted account activity over generic volume alone.
- Use discovery to clarify hiring needs, stakeholders, constraints, and delivery expectations.

Approach
How David moved the work forward.
- Maintained consistent prospecting and account activity across multiple outbound channels.
