Outbound sales into Chicago and the US Midwest B2B companies, with full coverage of US Central business hours.
Chicago is the US Midwest's B2B capital - logistics, manufacturing, financial services (CBOE, CME), and a growing tech scene around Fulton Market and River North. The market is less over-pitched than coastal US metros and rewards substance over style. Buyers are direct, time-conscious, and willing to take meetings when the pitch lands.
Chicago B2B culture rewards directness. Substance over flash. A clear, time-respecting call books meetings here when it would die in NYC or SF.

Manufacturing and industrial concentration
Financial services (futures exchanges, asset management)
Growing SaaS and AdTech scene at Fulton Market
The honest part
Chicago buyers detect Bay Area sales language instantly. Need to drop the 'transformation' jargon and lead with practical outcomes.
Hiring an SDR costs $90K+ all-in by the time you factor recruiting, salary, tools, management, and ramp. Most SDRs take 3-6 months to hit quota and a third leave within a year. The full suite gives you the same output (or more) without the hiring risk, the management overhead, or the ramp time. We run cold calling, email, and TAM building as one coordinated motion.
