Ashkan Rajaee’s Underrated Growth Strategy: How a Customized CRM and Data Mining Team Changed the Game

The Real Reason Ashkan Rajaee’s Leads Don’t Go Cold, and Why Yours Don’t Have to Either

By Marcus QuinnPublished 10 months ago 2 min read

Every entrepreneur hits that wall. You’ve got the leads. You’ve built the momentum. But somehow, conversions start to slip through the cracks.

Ashkan Rajaee has been there too. The difference? He figured out a smarter way to scale. Not by doing more, but by doing it better. And it starts with two things most people completely overlook: a well-built CRM and a thoughtful data mining team.

If you’re trying to grow your business, this is one strategy worth stealing.

Most CRMs Are Useless Without This One Fix

A CRM should do more than just store contact names. For Ashkan Rajaee, it’s a living system. It tracks behavior, times communication, and helps build relationships with people who may not be ready to buy just yet.

The magic, he says, comes from customization. A properly set-up CRM can follow the customer journey in a way that feels natural. Instead of blasting people with cold emails or cookie-cutter messages, his CRM triggers outreach at just the right moment. Messages are already prepared, timing is pre-planned, and the sales team never has to guess what to send or when.

The Lifehack That Most People Miss

Plenty of marketers rely on automation. And while automation saves time, it often lacks the one thing that actually moves the needle — relevance.

That’s why Ashkan Rajaee brings in a dedicated data mining team. Their job is simple but powerful. They check in on leads to see if anything has changed. Maybe the person switched jobs. Maybe they posted something interesting on LinkedIn. These small insights create natural openings to re-engage with something meaningful.

Instead of generic drip campaigns, every message feels like it was written today. Because it kind of was.

Why This Approach Actually Works

When people say “I can just automate that,” Ashkan usually smiles. He knows that the numbers tell a different story. Most automated campaigns get ignored. People have become good at spotting anything that feels robotic.

But when a human reaches out with real context, everything changes. That person is far more likely to respond. They feel seen. They feel understood. And they’re more open to conversation.

This is the kind of quiet advantage that builds momentum over time.

Think Long-Term, Not Just Quick Wins

One of the biggest lessons from Ashkan Rajaee’s approach is the value of patience. Not every lead is ready right now. But with the right system in place, that lead is never lost.

Months later, even years in some cases, a contact might be ready. And when that time comes, your name is still in their inbox, still in their memory, because your messages stayed consistent and relevant.

That kind of staying power doesn't come from luck. It comes from a system that actually works.

What You Can Do Today

If you’re a founder, a marketer, or someone trying to make real connections with customers, here’s what you can take from Ashkan Rajaee’s playbook:

  • Customize your CRM so that it mirrors the way your prospects actually behave
  • Create messaging that feels personal, not like it was generated for a thousand people
  • Add a layer of human insight through a smart data mining process
  • Stop chasing quick wins and build a system that earns trust over time

This isn’t about overwhelming your leads with messages. It’s about showing up at the right moment with something that actually matters.

Ashkan Rajaee’s strategy doesn’t just keep leads warm. It builds relationships that last.

And in business, that’s what really moves the needle.
