About Jess

Who is Jess Abraham?

Jess Abraham is a freelance go-to-market (GTM) and email marketing consultant. She helps B2B and B2C companies turn their data into sales with targeted lead lists, organized customer data and email campaigns that reach the inbox. Her background includes B2B sales at Dun & Bradstreet, the GTM Plays team at ZoomInfo and building NEP Group's growth program from scratch.

What is a GTM machine?

A GTM (go-to-market) machine is the system that turns your data into sales. It connects who you target, what you say and how it reaches them, so marketing and sales work as one. I design and build it around your business.

Do you work with any industry?

Yes. I have built email and outbound campaigns for broadcast, live sports, media, B2B tech, ecommerce fashion and hospitality. The process works the same in any industry: find the right buyers, learn what they need and write to that need.

Do you work with companies outside the United States?

Yes. I work remotely with B2B and B2C teams around the world.

Lists and data

What is list sourcing?

List sourcing is finding new buyers who fit your business. I build verified B2B lead lists matched to your ideal customer profile (ICP), so every message reaches someone likely to need what you sell.

What is database segmentation?

Database segmentation is organizing the contacts you already have so each group gets a message that fits. It helps you sell more to existing customers and win back the ones who went quiet. Segmented email consistently outperforms one email sent to everyone.

Can you clean up my CRM data?

Yes. I clean up CRM data so your targeting, reporting and email deliverability all improve. You end up with a database your team can trust.

How do you find out what my buyers need?

I start by listening to your sales team and your customers. Those insights shape who we target and what we say.

Email and deliverability

How does AI inbox sorting affect email marketing?

Gmail, Outlook and Apple Mail now use AI to sort, filter and summarize email before people read it. Generic email gets buried. I build campaigns designed to stand out and get read in AI-sorted inboxes.

Do you write the emails or just build the lists?

Both. I build the list, write the copy, set up the sequence and handle inbox placement. You can hire me for one piece or the whole system.

Do you write cold outreach or marketing emails?

Both. I write B2B cold outreach sequences and B2C lifecycle emails like abandoned cart, promo and re-engagement campaigns.

Tools and working together

Which CRM and email tools do you work with?

I work in Salesforce, Pardot (Salesforce Account Engagement), HubSpot, Outreach, Outlook, Google Workspace, Kit and ZoomInfo. I have also helped set up syncs between tools, like HubSpot and Salesforce.
