This is the exact system my agency, The Playbook, ran for 50+ SaaS and tech brands: the engine that booked the meetings above, took the agency to seven figures, and let me exit at 28. Now it's all written down. Everything I know. No gatekeeping.

This works if you sell, or lead people who do.

01

Founders

Who need meetings on the calendar before they can justify a sales hire.

02

Agency founders

Adding a productised outbound engine instead of trading time for retainers.

03

SDRs & AEs

Who'd rather own the machine than be replaced by it.

04

Revenue leaders

Who know spray-and-pray died years ago and want what books meetings now.

You don't need to be in SaaS. If you carry a number, the play applies.

One Play. The whole cold email system.

7 modules, 35 lessons, 15+ hours. Video walkthroughs of the full system, start to finish: infrastructure, targeting, copy, launch, replies.
The written documentation. Every lesson documented, so you're not scrubbing video to find one setting.
Copy templates and frameworks. The exact templates, and the thinking behind them so you can write your own.
The exact tool stack. Setup guides included, always the cheapest version that still works.
Every future update, free. When a tactic stops working, the Play gets updated and you get the new version.

Look inside.

The full syllabus, nothing held back. Open any module. It's all yours the moment you buy.

CRO · InboxKit · Founder · Making Plays

Within 2 years of starting as an SDR, I became one of the UK's youngest heads of sales at 24. Built the cold email engines behind 50+ SaaS and tech brands through my agency, then exited it at 28. Now CRO at InboxKit, scaling to $100m in ARR. I publish what's working today, as I do it, not the theory you're used to seeing.

Don't take my word for it.

Abbas eliminated the need for us to hire SDRs. Instead we were able to hire AEs, as his cold email engine delivered 20 meetings per week on autopilot.

$249 today, then $99/mo · 30-day money-back · Cancel anytime

The maths: The Play is $249 once, half its $497 list price, and every future update is included. All-Access is $249 today and then $99 a month for every Play we ship, at least twelve a year. Year one is $1,437 all in. At the $497 list price those twelve Plays alone are over $5,900, so you are paying about $120 for a Play that everyone else pays $497 for, and the live teardowns and the community come with it. Want one channel? Buy the Play. Building the whole engine? All-Access is the cheaper way in by a distance.

Questions people actually ask

Do I need to be technical?
No. To be honest I think most people have overcomplicated AI big time. The Play is step by step: the exact tools, the exact settings. If you can follow a recipe, you can run it.
Is $249 the full price?
It's the founding price, half the $497 list price. It's capped at the first 100 buyers and it ends on August 31, whichever comes first. You get the complete Play immediately, plus every future update free. After that the same Play is $497.
How much time does it take?
Making Cold Email Plays is 15+ hours end to end, but it's built to be run, not binged. Most people build as they watch and have a working system inside two weeks.
What if I want more than cold email?
That's All-Access: $249 today, then $99/mo for every current and future Play, at least one a month, plus the community and monthly live teardowns with me. Year one costs $1,437 and brings you at least twelve Plays that are $497 each on their own, so it works out around $120 a Play. Both options are above.
Will this be out of date in six months?
Some tactics will be. That's the nature of the channel, and it's exactly why every update to the Play is included free, and why I tell you when something changes.
Is this for teams?
Individual purchase covers one seat. For teams, get in touch.

Stop admiring the problem. Run the Play.
