Seven people
in the Loop

A B2B growth consultancy on LaSalle Street, founded in 2019 by Nora Kessler after seven years running sales development teams. We work with software companies between $2M and $20M in revenue.

Named for a switchboard

An operator listened for a signal and threaded the right cord to the right line, fast. That is still the job: find the buyers who are signalling, and connect them to your team the same day.

Seven people in the Loop. We take nine clients at a time, never two direct competitors, and the founder leads every scoping call.

House rules

  • Nine clients at a time. So the founder can sit in every quarter review.
  • Never two direct competitors. If we work for one company in a category, we say no to the next.
  • Your data stays yours. Domains, lists, sequences and CRM work live in your accounts from day one.
  • Prices published. Every service has a starting price on this site, and the estimator shows yours.
  • No logos without permission. Client names, logos and numbers appear only with written sign-off.
  • Opt-outs honored the same day. Every cold email names the sender and carries a postal address.

Careers

We hire twice a year, in January and July, and we publish the salary.

Senior SDR lead

$95,000 to $115,000 plus a quarterly bonus. Hybrid, three days a week in the Loop. You run sequences for three clients and coach two SDRs.
