🙋 Who am I, and why should you listen?

Hi, I am Biplob Paul.

For more than 10 years, I have worked in B2B research, lead generation, quality checking, business development, cold email and go-to-market.

I did not start with fancy tools. I started by checking whether a contact was real and a company was a good match. Slowly, I moved on to building lists, understanding what clients wanted, setting up email systems, writing campaigns and fixing the process behind all of it.

And one lesson has stayed with me all these years:

Finding a person's email is not the same as giving them a reason to talk to you.

You can have 10,000 contacts and still get almost no replies. You can send 500 emails and not reach even 10 people who care. And even the right person will ignore you if your message is confusing.

So I look at outbound as one complete process, not just "an email campaign". That process is called PACE, and this playbook explains it in simple words.
