Gulf & Ponte

B2B outbound · IT & management consulting · United States

Outbound pipeline for consulting firms, built and run under your own name.

Gulf & Ponte builds the cold email system your firm doesn't have the time to build: the sending infrastructure, the target list, the research behind every email, and the live campaign. Your partners take the calls.

Fixed scope From $3,000 Firms of 31–100 Sent as you, never as us

01Why this, now

More salespeople, smaller deals, longer cycles.

−22% Average deal size, $239K to $187K
91 Days, roughly, to close a sale
+21% Service-sales headcount

All three figures: SPI Research, 2025 Professional Services Maturity Benchmark.

Deal sizes across professional services fell 22%, from $239K to $187K. Sales cycles lengthened to roughly 91 days. Over the same period, firms added 21% more service-sales headcount.

Put in that order, the numbers describe one thing: the business development hires arrived before the pipeline did.

02What we build

Five things, delivered as a working system.

  1. Sending infrastructure

    Dedicated domains and mailboxes, configured and warmed. Never your main domain, so partner email stays clean.

  2. A target list

    Firms matching the profile you name. Verified contacts, decision-makers.

  3. Researched one-to-one copy

    Every email references something real about that specific company. Nothing generic, nothing invented.

  4. A live campaign

    Sequenced, monitored, compliant — a working opt-out on every message.

  5. Replies routed

    To your BD team, or straight to the partner.

You name the target, approve the copy, and take the calls. Engagements are fixed-scope and start at $3,000.

03Who we work with

Who we talk to
The Managing Partner, Principal or Owner

We work with a small number of firms at a time, and we would rather say no than run a campaign we can't research properly.

04Where we are

A new firm, said plainly.

Gulf & Ponte is early. We publish no client logos, no case studies, no testimonials and no results, because we have not yet earned any — and we would rather tell you that than decorate the page with someone else's.

What we can do is make the first engagement small enough to judge on its own terms. It is fixed in scope and fixed in price, so a first project does not require you to take our word for anything.

05Contact

Write to the person who would run it.

There is no form, no calendar embed and no sales team. An email reaches Yared directly.
