I'm Kai. I build businesses, mostly around cold calling.
Background
My background is lead generation. That turned into testing cold calling, then training cold callers, then placing them with companies.
Along the way I ran 1 Hour Recruitment, which booked candidate meetings for executive search and legal recruiting firms, entirely by cold calling. That work taught me that nothing happens until someone picks up the phone. I still build everything around that.
I'm also a nerd who loves all things AI. When vibe coding became a thing, I started building my own internal tools. Some of them later turned into products.
What I'm building
Everything I build comes back to one question: how do you get more real conversations from outbound?
Hire A Cold Caller helps businesses recruit, build and manage cold calling teams. Will This Person Answer helps sales teams understand which contacts are worth calling before they dial. Both sit under The Cold Calling Group.
How I work
I don't make the calls myself. I build and run the teams and the tools that do, mostly on my own, with a small stack of software and a lot of automation and AI.
See my setup →What interests me
Starting things. Software, AI and automation, and how far one person can get with them. Sales, obviously. Building businesses that run on less. And lately, food and consumer brands.
Beyond work
I'm based in London, with one foot in New York, so I always know what time it is in the other one.
