Poole & Bloom
Zach, smiling, in a black hoodie hi, I'm Zach.

I cold call so you don't have to.

Phone conversations with your dream prospects.

$75 a conversation.

yep, that's the price.

Book 30 minutes

You pay per conversation.

Some become meetings. The rest tell you why not, or when.

MeetingsSome. Never promised.

A conversation passes three tests.

all three, or it doesn't count.

  1. The person you named picks up.

    And confirms it's them.

  2. They hear the pitch.

    And answer it.

  3. The call ends with an outcome.

    A meeting, a follow-up date, a referral, or a yes to “May I send you something and check back in a few months?” A no counts when they say yes to that.

Never counted: voicemail, a phone tree, a gatekeeper or anyone else answering, a wrong number, a hang-up, a call they couldn't hear, or the same person twice. If someone says “don't contact me again,” I remove them and you don't pay.

Every conversation comes back written up.

A tag. Two lines. A follow-up date if they gave one.

The five tags

  • Meeting booked
  • Interested, with a follow-up date
  • Not now, with a date
  • No, and open to hearing from us later
  • Referred to someone else

A daily email while I dial, with your cost per meeting so far. A readout at the end. You keep every write-up and the script.

Problem, in their words

“Dispatch still runs on spreadsheets. Nobody touches it before peak season ends.”

Offer, in their words

“Sounds useful. Call me the second week of January.”

The person and details are invented to show the format.

every conversation comes back like this

A trial, then blocks.

Start with 25, on your list or mine. After that, buy 100 at a time.

told you it blooms.

  1. We meet for 30 minutes

    I walk you through it. You decide if a trial fits.

  2. One email, same day

    Sign, pay, and send your list or answer my questions. Nothing starts until payment clears.

  3. Kickoff

    An optional 30 minutes: who I call, who I skip, the script.

  4. I dial

    Numbers every dialing day. Meetings go on your calendar.

  5. Readout

    Within 3 business days of the 25th conversation or the end of the window. What your market said, plus any refund.

Your name is on these calls.

the boring part. I do it every time.

  • I make every call. One live call at a time. Nothing prerecorded.
  • Every list is scrubbed against the National Do Not Call Registry, required state lists and litigator lists first.
  • Up to three attempts per person, at least two days apart, then 60 days of rest.
  • Weekdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. their time. Not on federal holidays.
  • No voicemail.
  • I say who I am and who I'm calling for in the first 10 seconds.
  • We write the script together. I stay inside it.
  • Ask to be removed and you're off the list that day.

I actually like cold calling.

Four years as an SDR. In 18 months: 287 qualified opportunities and $2.5M closed-won.

Now I do it for founders at seed and Series A companies. You talk to me, and I'm the one who dials.

Poole & Bloom is new. I'm taking four founding clients.

What founders ask me.

Do you guarantee meetings?
No. You pay for conversations. I refund any I don't deliver.
How fast can you start?
Your list: 5 business days after payment clears. My list: 5 to build, 2 after you approve.
Is there a contract?
No term, no minimum. One services agreement, then a statement of work per purchase, paid up front.
Do I get recordings?
No. You get a tag and a two-line write-up for each conversation. Question any of them within 7 days.

Book 30 minutes.

I walk you through it. You decide if a trial fits.
