01The problem

Why growth stalls after the early wins

Most teams I meet work hard. The effort doesn't add up because a few basics are missing — and each one is hard to see from the inside.

“We'll sell to anyone who'll buy.”

Your ideal customer has drifted

Early customers came from referrals and the founder's network. Now the target is everyone, so the message fits no one and every channel underperforms.

“Our site is two years behind us.”

Your message describes the company you used to be

The product and the market have moved on. The website and sales emails haven't, so the right buyers don't see themselves in them.

“We asked ChatGPT for options in our category. We weren't there.”

Buyers ask AI for recommendations, and you're not in the answer

More buyers now shortlist vendors in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI answers before they ever visit a website. If those tools don't know you, you're out before the first call.

“These leads are useless.”

Marketing and sales are chasing different buyers

Marketing and sales were never given the same definition of a good customer. So leads get rejected, trust breaks down, and every quarter starts from zero.

Results from recent work

A recent engagement, and what changed by the end of it.

Increase

Pipeline up 120% in under six months

A technology company had little presence in its market. We rebuilt who it targeted, what it said and the content that brought buyers in. Within six months, qualified pipeline had more than doubled.

Qualified pipeline

What clients say

  • We were posting regularly but it wasn't going anywhere, and we couldn't tell which posts were worth the effort. Swapan built us a social strategy with a plan behind it, and our engagement went up 82%. The difference was having a reason for each post rather than just filling a calendar.

    Mark Demirjian

    CEO, RingnBring

  • Guests were finding us through the booking sites and almost nowhere else, so we were paying commission on business that should have been ours. Swapan rebuilt how we show up online, and we now get found by people looking for a hotel like ours, not just a room.

    Ghassan Fares

    CEO, City Inn Palace Hotel

  • We had the business but not the brand, so we were explaining ourselves in every conversation. Swapan built the digital strategy and the brand together, and we grew 160%. Prospects now arrive already knowing what we do.

Why work with me

I've spent 14+ years in go-to-market and growth, advised more than 20 companies, and I'm Founder & CEO of Oneskai, a growth and AI search agency. I also build software with AI, so when I suggest an AI tool or tactic, I've usually tested it in my own business first.

06Questions

Questions people ask before booking

Still not sure? The call is free and there's no pitch if it isn't a fit.

What size of company do you work with?

Companies with $1M–$25M in annual revenue, paying customers and someone responsible for selling. Growth has usually slowed after the early wins. It makes no difference whether you sell to businesses or to consumers.

Do you only work with software companies?

No. Many of my clients sell software, but the approach fits any company — selling to businesses or to consumers — where the purchase is considered rather than impulse.

How is this different from hiring a marketing agency?

An agency runs campaigns month after month. I fix the strategy behind them (who you target, what you say, and where buyers find you), build it with your team over 90 days, and hand it over.

How is this different from a fractional CMO?

A fractional CMO joins your leadership team part-time, usually for many months. My work is a fixed 90-day project with a clear handover.

Do I need a large team for this?

No. Most clients have a small marketing team and a few salespeople. I build the system around the team you have.

How soon will we see results?

You'll have a clear plan within the first 30 days. How soon pipeline grows depends on the length of your sales cycle.

What happens on the free call?

We look at your ICP, your message and how buyers (and AI tools) find you, for 30 minutes. You leave with the two or three things I'd fix first, whether or not we work together.

We've hired consultants before and nothing changed. Why is this different?

Most consulting ends with a recommendation. This ends with a working system your team has built with me and knows how to run.

Where does AI fit in?

In two places. First, making sure AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity know and recommend you. Second, using AI inside your team only where it saves time or money, such as research, first drafts and reporting. If a tool doesn't pay for itself, I won't recommend it.

Are you a sales consultant?

No. I don't train sales teams or run sales processes. I fix the go-to-market that feeds sales (your ideal customer, your message and your visibility), so the leads that reach sales are the right ones.

What does go-to-market actually cover?

Who you sell to, what you say to them, where they discover you (including AI search), and how that turns into pipeline. It's the strategy that sits between your product and your sales team.

What is AI search visibility (GEO)?

Generative Engine Optimization is making sure AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI answers understand your company and include it when buyers ask for recommendations in your category.

If buyers can't find you, or don't choose you, let's talk.

The first call is a Free GTM & AI Visibility Review. It's free and takes 30 minutes. You leave with the two or three things I'd fix first.
