Mehran Iqbal has run LinkedIn lead generation for B2B founders, consultants and agency owners since 2018: building Sales Navigator lists, writing invites and follow-ups, and turning replies into meetings, by hand at first and then with software.
GrabProspect is what that work taught: outreach that runs at the pace of a careful person, for as many LinkedIn accounts as a team runs, with every action visible. Mehran leads the product and writes GrabProspect’s guides from day-to-day experience running outreach.
