Beautiful, I'm a big fan of Nylas and feel that calendar integration is the last piece for a really nice workflow.

Great read.
I found it very interesting in how this might scale for you. Is it possible to continuously source, say 2000 leads/month for your clients?
Some further questions.
1. What process do you go through to both source the contacts, and to verify their quality (e.g UpWork team to scrape etc.)
2. Have you any feedback on how successful this has been for clients (e.g response rates)
Good luck with this, and really hope it works for you.

You don't have to have lots of scroll to communicate your message.
