How I used Claude to turn 209 company names into a calling machine What up doe, Legacy Builders! I want to show you what “research with Claude” really looks like. I started with a boring list. 209 company names going to the Western Roofing Expo. Just names on paper. Like a bag of mixed up LEGOs dumped on the floor. Step 1: We sorted the LEGOs. Claude put every company into 9 color buckets: software, marketing, money companies, tool makers, and more. Then we marked each one like soup: Hot, Warm, or Cool. 39 came out Hot. Those are the ones most likely to say yes to me. Step 2: We played detective. Claude searched the internet and found the doors to knock on: websites, phone numbers, and emails for the Hot list, plus the people who run the whole event. No more guessing where anybody lives. Step 3: We taped a key to every card. Companies keep their ads in two glass cases, one at Facebook and one at Google. Claude could not open the cases for me, so it taped a key to every company card. One tap and the case opens, already searched. Then I stamp Yes or No: are they running ads? Step 4: We made a judge’s scorecard. Every ad is a fishing lure. The Hook is the flash. The Offer is the bait. The Call to Action is the reel. Proof is why you trust the fisherman. I grade each ad in 30 seconds with gold stars, and I write down one idea worth borrowing. Step 5: We built a jukebox. Every company card has a button. Press it and out comes a full 5 minute video script with their name already in every line and their 3 biggest leaks already found. I just copy, smile, and hit record. And here is the magic part: all of it lives in ONE file. It plugs into my GoHighLevel like a game cartridge, and it saves my progress like a video game. Every call, every star, every note. The lesson for YOUR niche: Claude did not just answer a question. It built me a tool. List it. Sort it. Research it. Score it. Script it. That recipe works for real estate, salons,
