Building Pipeline in 2026: Where AI Closes the Gap
There's a lot of noise about AI and pipeline right now. Most of it comes from people trying to sell you an AI tool. This is not that.
We're putting five people on one panel who sit behind thousands of real sales campaigns: Instantly, HeyReach, LeadMagic, OutboundSync, and Close. They see what sales teams are actually doing every day. What books meetings, what gets ignored, and where AI is worth the money. Michael Taylor at Close will moderate, keeping the time focused on valuable insights and making sure all five voices get airtime.
No slides, no pitch. Just straight answers from our panel below.
Mina Draskovic — AE at Instantly (cold email platform)
Ilija Stojkovski — CRO at HeyReach (LinkedIn outreach)
Jesse Ouellette — Founder of LeadMagic (B2B data and enrichment)
Harris Kenny — Founder of OutboundSync (connects outbound activity)
Liz Stephany — VP of Customer Experience at Close (the CRM that calls your leads)
What you'll walk away with:
Bring your questions. The panel answers them live.

Harris built OutboundSync when he realized teams get better results from outbound when it's deeply integrated with their CRM. Prior to starting OutboundSync, he ran an outbound and revops agency.
Jesse Ouellette built LeadMagic solo — no co-founders, no investors — and grew it into a multi-million ARR SaaS. Former sales leader turned technical founder. LeadMagic is the API layer for B2B contact data, processing millions of verifications for GTM teams running AI-powered outbound.
Mina is an Account Executive at Instantly.ai where she helps companies build predictable outbound systems that actually generate revenue. Before SaaS, she worked across fashion, PR, and diplomacy, bringing a people-first approach to sales.
Liz Stephany is VP of Customer Experience at Close, the CRM that calls your leads. She doesn't just talk about AI-native sales — she runs it at Close. She leads the sales and post-sales teams at Close, was beta and customer #1 for Close's Chloe voice AI, has 10+ sales agents in production, and uses Claude to daily orchestrate the customer experience end to end. If you want to know what actually works when you hand real revenue to AI, she's already run the experiment and is happy to tell you the best practices and worst pitfalls.
We went from zero to $15M ARR in 3 years by obsessing over one thing: turning LinkedIn profiles into real revenue engines.
Close is the only Sales CRM built for engagement – a powerful, fast tool designed to help ambitious teams manage leads, build relationships, and close more deals.
