About IMA

We didn't start as a sales agency. We became one out of necessity.

Engineers first, sellers by necessity. Since 2012 we've built the systems behind B2B outreach by hand, then run them for 200+ brands across seven regions.

Execution on Sellton · strategy and judgment by the IMA team

Our story

We learned to sell because we had to.

Borche Manev started as a software and web contractor. In 2016 that work became IMA. Then the contracts dried up, and technical skill alone wasn't enough to keep a business alive.

So we combined sales education with engineering and built our own outbound infrastructure: email servers, prospecting workflows, LinkedIn outreach, CRM integrations and automated follow-up, before plug-and-play tools existed.

Most businesses didn't have a tools problem. They had an execution problem.

Built through experience, not theory

Selling is universal. Execution never is.

More than 200 B2B brands, a team of 35 at its peak, and years of campaigns, conversations and mistakes. That market knowledge is one of our most valuable assets.

“Your team ships weekly. Your security reviews still take a quarter. Worth 15 minutes on how peers closed that gap?”

● no reply · too casual, no proof, no reference

Same words. Different buyer. That's why we never copy a campaign from one market to the next.

Technology evolved. So did we.

We know automation because we built it.

And we know its limits because we've run it. Even the best AI needs context, direction and oversight. That's the split behind every IMA engagement.

AI accelerates execution. Experience gives it direction.

Why we operate differently

A clever stack isn't a sales operation.

What clients often leave other agencies withMonths of fees, a spreadsheet of contacts and a pile of campaign reports.
What you leave IMA withThe infrastructure, the market knowledge and the data. Yours to run.
01 before anything is sent

Commercial strategy before automation

Your market, customers, positioning and sales goals first. Technology afterwards.

02 per market

Execution built on market knowledge

The right industries, roles, geographies, messages and channels. Nothing assumed from the last market.

03 from day one

Complete visibility and ownership

See the activity and the performance, access the data, and take part in the decisions.

04 after six months

Built to operate. Built to transfer.

Launch fast, refine on real feedback, make it repeatable. Then take it in-house if you want. It stays yours.

The founder

An engineer who had to learn to sell.

Borche built IMA's outbound infrastructure by hand before the tools existed, and still shapes how every engagement is run.

An extension of your commercial team

Let's build a sales operation you actually own.

Sometimes that means challenging your target market, your offer or how you describe your value. And sometimes it means telling you more automation isn't the answer. The best sales engine is the one your business can understand, control and improve.
