“Simas found our biggest growth bottleneck on day one… He’s sharp, data driven, and backs every idea with numbers.”
“Simas set up our paid ads motion which brought in our first lead in 6 days from setup. Super quick setup and great to work with.”

Where First Motion fits
Need more pipeline, but no time to build it?
Teams reach us from three directions. In each one, you work directly with the person who finds what needs building, then builds and runs it.
02 Teams with sellers
Adding pipeline to the team you have
You have sellers or marketers, but they need better targeting, campaigns, follow up or systems to create more qualified opportunities.

Fixing a motion that isn’t working
You have tried outbound, paid, events or another channel and need someone to find the constraint and execute the fix.

02Outbound

Build and run the fix, live in 14 days
We build and run the one channel or system most likely to add qualified pipeline, inside the tools you already use. Your part: a weekly hour, quick sign off and fast replies to leads.
Packaged launches
- Outbound Launch
- Paid Acquisition Pilot
- First Hire Sprint
- GTM Systems Build
Live in 14 days, or we keep working free until it is. The clock starts once we have access and your sign off. What each launch covers
Discuss a launch
Improve it month to month, then hand it over
Every week: what booked calls, what didn’t, and what we’re changing. Channels that work get more. Channels that don’t get cut.
What’s included
- We run your live channel and add the next one
- Campaigns, pages and automations, built and run each month
- We handle replies and qualify leads through to booked calls
- A weekly working session, pipeline by channel and a monthly review
- Simas does the work himself, then hands it to your team when they are ready
The price depends on how many channels run at once and the volume. Three month minimum, then month to month with 30 days’ notice. After the minimum, advisory is optional and month to month.

Founder
A note from Simas
Most founders I talk to are still the best salesperson they have, and most sales teams I meet still find customers in bursts. That works until the company needs pipeline every week, and there is no list, no playbook and nothing running for the team to pick up.
I started First Motion to fix that part, whether you are making a first sales hire or backing the team you already have. I do the work myself, from the first call to the handoff, and I keep the client list small so every reply and every lost deal gets my attention.
If we are not the right fit, I will tell you, and I will point you to who is.

More about Simas
Questions
Before we start
Straight answers.
Who does the work?
Simas. The person on the call is the person who builds it. Nothing gets handed to a junior.
How does pricing work?
Working session: free. Each launch, such as an Outbound Launch or the First Hire Sprint, is a fixed fee, quoted on the working session once we know your channel and market. Growth Partner is monthly if you continue, priced by how many channels run at once and the volume. Three month minimum, then month to month with 30 days’ notice. Ad spend and software are paid on your own accounts.
How much of our time does it take?
About an hour a week for the working session. Beyond that we need tool access in the first week, quick sign off on targets and copy, and someone who replies to qualified leads within 24 hours. We do the building.
What if it doesn’t work?
If your launch isn’t live in 14 days, we keep working free until it is. The 14 days start once we have tool access and your sign off on the target. Days spent waiting on approvals, access or an ad platform’s review don’t count. Before launch we agree the target profile and the number we’re aiming for in writing, and every week you see what’s working and what we’re changing. Your side: the weekly session, quick sign off on targets and copy, and replies to qualified leads within 24 hours. Everything we build is yours, no matter what.
What happens after a launch?
You keep everything we built. If you want us to keep improving it and add the next channel, Growth Partner continues with a three month minimum, then month to month, and we hand it to your team whenever they are ready. The First Hire Sprint fee also covers running your channel for the first 30 days after launch, and Growth Partner billing only starts if you continue after that. Ad spend and software stay on your own accounts throughout, including during any free work.
