## Resource

Parker Mayes, founder of Signify, joins us on Redacted for a guest episode built around a live demo of his actual sales pipeline. Parker built Signify after spending four years running a go-to-market agency doing high-volume cold email, calls, and LinkedIn outreach for B2B clients, and getting frustrated with the low-trust, low-response nature of outbound at scale. Signify sits between a prospect database like Apollo or ZoomInfo and your CRM, scoring and enriching companies every day based on real buying signals like new hires, company news, and job postings, so reps know exactly who to reach out to and why. The conversation walks through the four daily automations running Parker's pipeline, the hard line he draws between automated cold outreach and human-run warm conversations, and how he's teaching an AI agent to write in his own voice. Parker also makes the case that a non-technical founder no longer needs a technical co-founder, as long as they have an AI sidekick that can write code. Along the way, David and Taylor pull in their own experience running Offline to compare notes on why the restaurant industry might be uniquely hard to sell into.
