Hey! I have spoken about lead gen before and wanted to drop my thoughts on acquiring clients through cold email. Most people overcomplicate this and, to be honest, the simpler it is, the better. Here is a basic structure you can follow: 0. Subject line: test simple vs hyperpersonalised 1. First line: explain why you're reaching out 2. Second line: through some social proof 3. Third line: CTA 4. Fourth line: signature 5. Fifth line: P.S. Surprisingly, a PS line works quite well, especially when you say something in the subject line that you can't really tie into the main message. Hope that helps! Feel free to reach out if you have any qs.

I watched a video of Patrick where he shows a workflow using Google, Instagram and ChatGPT to find leads and organise the data to be able to perform outreach. Got inspired by it and wanted to share a workflow that has helped me get good quality leads. This is not about cold calling (although it is a method I love). This is about creating a workflow that you can scale with. As an agency owner you want to be as efficient as possible and, if something works, just scale it. For the workflow, I used: 1. Apify to scrape Apollo.io and get leads. 2. OpenAI API to craft the personalised pieces of outreach 3. (Optional) Connect it to a cold email platform like Instantly and start sending emails I will leave a screenshot below. However, if you need any q's answered, let me know!

I have seen a lot of people talking about their fear of cold calls and sales calls and wanted to share something that could potentially help you out. I was in sales for 3 years and I closed more than $6M in deals for my clients. You might not be very experienced with sales calls, maybe you have taken a few, and that fear still kicks in every time you are waiting on the Zoom meeting for the other person to show up. If I could give you a piece of advise is: - You are just talking to another human People/gurus want to make sales calls hard, but they are really not. They are more about how well prepared you go to the call and how confident you sound. If you want to go better prepared to sales calls, just check the person's LinkedIn 10 mins before you hop on to be able to create some rapport. You can obviously automate it with a very simple flow in an automation tool like Make.com, but just prepare before the call. And just be confident about what you sell! Hope that helps, crush it!

Hi friends — saw a lot of posts about how to get more clients booked, and I’ve been in the same boat. Wanted to share what fixed it for me: Basically I use Apollo.io to find businesses/potential clients that would benefit from web design. (It searches on the internet for matches of your choice) Then setup instantly.ai - It creates multiple emails that won't get marked as spam and helps you send all the emails to the businesses/potential clients Final step: Use make.com in order to automate response processes and implement AI for personalization. The cool thing about make.com is that you can add in ChatGpt to write emails that are personalized to the business. So it makes the businesses respond more because it seems personalized. Also when businesses respond you can automatically respond to them in record time building your trust with them instantly. So you find the right people, personalize, build trust, and have them book your calendar link, all automated for you. It's actually insane. Love this stuff. I added a pic of the auto email responder below, it's lowkey really cool adding this to my workflow. If anything here isn’t clear, I’m happy to explain more. Let’s get through this together 💪

One of the biggest mistakes when it comes to starting your agency is not having all your leads in one place so we can track how they are moving through the pipeline and what actions we are taking to getting them closer to being a sale. I am not talking about having a super polished CRM (you don't really need it at the beggining), but I would highly recommend having a place where you save all your leads info. I do it using Tally (form I make leads fill out to get info) and then I populate all the responses and important information to ClickUp or Airtable. I do this all automatically as well so it doesn't take up a lot of my time. And yes, you can make this for free but it will make a huge difference when it comes to keeping track of everything.
