Garion Allen
Had a one-to-one over Google Meet today with Garion Allen of KrisKore in Collingwood. Garion was our chapter's Director Consultant for the past year before he stepped back in June, and I told him then he was not getting rid of me that easily.
KrisKore is one partner for the whole stack. Business phones and internet, device security and IT support, cloud hosting and app development. His pipeline right now says it all: a phone contract, two app builds, a digital transformation, and a large security project, most of it waiting on fourth-quarter sign-off. What he wanted to show me was something he built for himself. In two weeks, on his own hardware, he put together an AI lead generator. You define a target market, pick the industries, company size, region and job titles you want, and it goes out overnight, finds the companies, finds the people, fills in what it can, and drafts a first message for each one. He built in a domain allow-list so it only crawls sites whose terms permit it, permission groups for users, and a load balancer that spreads the work across whatever machines and models he has running. He figures it can surface about 25 new contacts per target market per day. We spent most of the hour on the hard question: who is it for, and how do they use it? A list is not a lead. We talked about niching it to one industry first, wiring it into a pipeline so the outreach runs itself, and the Canadian anti-spam rules that shape what you can send cold. No answers yet. That is what these conversations are for. Garion builds systems that work. If your business is juggling three vendors for phones, computers and cloud, or you have an app idea and need someone who can actually ship it, talk to him.
