My first 9 businesses failed for one reason

My first 9 businesses failed for one reason: I had no system for getting customers consistently. If I were launching a business today, the first tool I would get is Apollo. And here’s exactly how I would do it: 1. Research ICP with the AI Assistant “Find me FinTech Founders & CEOs at companies with 10-50 employees that have raised money in the last 12 months.” 2. Generate targeted prospect lists instantly Within minutes, the AI Assistant delivers a curated list of decision-makers who match my exact criteria. No more jumping between LinkedIn, company websites, and databases. 3. Create personalized messaging sequences “Write me a 5-email sequence for Health Tech CEOs focused on reducing patient acquisition costs.” The AI crafts messages that speak directly to industry pain points - no generic templates. 4. Set up and launch campaigns in one go The Assistant handles the technical setup of creating multi-step workflows, saving hours of configuration across platforms. 5. Analyze and optimize in real-time “Which messages are getting the best response rates? How should I improve?” I tested Apollo’s AI Assistant in beta last month and built an entire go-to-market strategy in under an hour. What used to take weeks of fragmented work across multiple tools now happens in a single conversation. The difference is night and day from how I used to run this. I’ve experimented with dozens of AI tools claiming to revolutionize sales. Most just create more work. This is the first solution I’ve found that actually delivers on the promise: A complete, end-to-end system for consistently getting in front of the right customers with the right message. There has never been a better time to build a business Tobi |

My friend spent 6 months building the perfect product But no time actually planning how he would take it to market. I sat down with him last week and walked him through Apollo's AI Assistant. He had 47 beta users who loved his product, but zero pipeline beyond that. So I pulled up Apollo and asked him one question: "Who are your best customers right now?" "SaaS founders. 20-100 employees. Doing $5-15M in revenue." I typed that into Apollo's AI Assistant: "Find 500 companies matching this...
Over 377,000 people have visited our company website this year. Unfortunately, I have no idea who these people are. So many companies miss out on high-intent buyers because most tools can't identify website visitors. But that's exactly what Apollo Inbound fixes now. I just tried it, and it is legitimately blowing my mind. → It reveals anonymous visitors and identifies key decision makers with AI No more guessing whether or not an email signup is a good lead. → All you need to collect is an...
I’ve been using Fireflies.ai for 5 years as a founder. It has made me 100% more effective AND more efficient. I train my teams, record all my calls and even built a custom GPT from it. But their new Live Assist feature just changed everything. Try it here: Fireflies.ai Imagine having an AI teammate that doesn’t just take notes AFTER your meeting, but actually helps you DURING the call. I’ve been using it to: ↳ Get live suggestions when I’m on sales calls ↳ Train my sales team with real-time...
