The challenge

  • Manual prospecting and outreach capped how many qualified leads the team could reach.
  • Multi-channel follow-up (LinkedIn, WhatsApp, SMS) was inconsistent and time-consuming.

The approach

  • Built a resilient scraping and automation suite with Puppeteer, Playwright, and BrowserStack.
  • Automated LinkedIn outreach and Upwork lead generation end to end.
  • Wired in Twilio, WhatsApp Business API, and Meta Ads Manager for omnichannel follow-up.

The outcome

  • Turned a manual, headcount-bound process into a 24/7 automated lead engine.
  • Unified outreach across channels for consistent, timely follow-up.
  • Freed the team to focus on closing rather than prospecting.
