About
We do one thing.
CoastalRev is an outbound calling company. Not a marketing agency, not a consultancy, not a software product with a phone feature bolted on. Senior people on the phone, every day, having real conversations with the buyers our clients can't reach.
01 — What we are
A company built around the part everyone skips.
Most companies have never actually done outbound. Not badly — never. Their pipeline came from referrals, from a founder's network, from relationships built over years. It works until it doesn't, and by then nobody in the building knows how to start a conversation with a stranger.
Everyone already knows they should be doing outbound. The strategy was never the hard part. The hard part is the doing: getting someone to pick up the phone every single day and not flake. That gap, between knowing and doing, is the whole business.

02 — What we believe
Four things we won't bend on.
It's humans, or it isn't us.
There is a lot of automated noise being sent at buyers right now, and we're not adding to it. No AI voice, no bot dialing your market and calling it a conversation. A person picks up the phone, calls, and asks questions — the same thing you would do. We just do it faster, and more of it.
We don't pretend to be anything we're not.
We're not your product experts and we don't need to be. When a prospect goes deep technical, that's interest — and the honest answer is that this is exactly why they should talk to the person who does know. Faking expertise gets sniffed out immediately.
If it won't work, we say so.
Sometimes the honest answer to "will this work for us" is no. We'd rather find that out with you on a fifteen-minute call than three months into a contract. Telling you it won't work costs us a deal and saves you a quarter.
The conversations are the asset.
Most agencies hold hundreds of conversations with your market every month and throw every one of them away once the meeting is booked. We write down what buyers actually said and hand it back. Meetings are the output; the intelligence is what compounds.
03 — The team
Career callers, not a rotating bench.
Campaigns are run by senior US and US-expat reps in US time zones, native English speakers who have done this for years. A primary rep owns your account with a trained backup so coverage never drops. A sales manager QA's the calls.

04 — The founder
Kevin Sheffield
Founder
Kevin has been selling B2B technology since 2010 — first at CDW in Chicago, then at IBM. In 2019 he left IBM, moved back to Florida, and joined a cybersecurity startup, where he built the business development function from nothing while still carrying his own number: first two reps hired, scripts written, playbook built.
Then it kept happening. A consulting firm asked him to do the same thing. Then a professional services firm. Then an agency asked him to come run it as VP and do it for dozens of companies at a time.
The market was going one way. Everything being built pointed away from the phone — AI dialers, AI voices, sequences that never put a person on the line. In every company that asked him, the thing that worked was a person picking one up.
He describes the decision as sitting across the table from his wife and admitting it: “it's all there. I just got to put my guts on the table and do it.”
Kevin founded CoastalRev in 2022 and runs it. He also takes the first call himself — the fifteen minutes where you find out whether outbound is going to work for your market, or whether it honestly isn't.
That's deliberate. The person telling you what this will and won't do is the person accountable for whether it does.
Find out if your buyers will pick up.
Fifteen minutes. We'll look at your market honestly and tell you whether this works.
