Kevin Hopp — CEO
Your sales team needs more at-bats. Your outbound isn't telling you what your market thinks. And your last agency just counted dials. We fix that. I'm Kevin Hopp. I've made 750,000+ cold calls and worked with 50+ B2B companies on outbound. I built Smartbound to do outbound differently. Here's how it works: 1. We build your GTM playbook ICP mapping, signal-based targeting, multi-source list building, messaging frameworks. Not a generic script. A system designed around your buyers. 2. We cold call your market Native English speakers trained on 600K+ calls. They sound like your team, not a vendor. Every call recorded. 3. You get meetings + market intelligence Qualified meetings on your calendar. Plus structured intelligence from every conversation: why prospects said no, what competitors they mentioned, which signals converted. Most agencies throw away 90% of call data. We turn it into a feedback loop. The results: - 15-20% conversion from qualified conversation to meeting - 500+ B2B executive meetings booked - Every call recorded and analyzed We work with B2B companies who sell $30K+ contracts and who have strong closers but not enough pipeline. If that's you, DM me or book a call at smartbound.ai
