In this episode of Founders Future, with host Jae Encarnacion, we dive deep into the entrepreneurial journey of Erik Bucci, CEO and co-founder of Fresh Lead Flow. Erik brings a unique background combining military service as a Marine Corps Staff Sergeant with extensive marketing expertise, including driving an 83% revenue surge at the Association of National Advertisers and over $50 million in growth at Golden. Founded in late 2024, Fresh Lead Flow is revolutionizing how high-ticket B2B businesses resurrect dead leads using AI-powered messaging to drive warm conversations and close deals.
Throughout the conversation, Erik shares his founding story and the specific problem that inspired Fresh Lead Flow - the 80% of leads that sales teams generate but never properly follow up on or close. He discusses how his company has evolved from serving a general market to focusing specifically on B2B high-ticket sales companies with manual sales processes. Erik also reveals his vision for scaling the business, including his recent acceptance into an accelerator program with Rapid Dev, his approach to building authentic AI messaging that maintains a human brand-centric touch, and his ambitious plans to become synonymous with AI and brand in the B2B space while working on a book to democratize messaging knowledge.
