I have thousands of email addresses that I want to enrich to get phone number and names for. What email enrichment tool can anyone suggest that is the most efficient and economical?

What are the advantages of using a tool like Instantly if I already use GHL?

Ye lol, you’ve read that right. The ss is below. In the last 90 days I’ve booked 483 booked calls. Now let me be honest, I used to struggle to get 5 a week, so how did this change? Leveraging teams, systems WITH organic content. You’ve maybe heard me speak about the content acquisition flywheel Content makes paid ads/cold outreach more valuable And then, Paid ads makes content more valuable. If a prospect can’t see your face on the internet, and not see you provide any value… Have fun closing. I promise it’s infinitely harder. I booked my first call from YouTube with 30 subs. Now over time, more content, more value, more inbound leads and MORE NURTURING for every lead. Leverage content from this day forward. I promise not will you get inbound leads, brand yourself and your business, but your paid ads and cold outreach will be infinitely more valuable. Winners always win.

We built our ad + creative agency to $5M... then it burned down. Here's a short warning story and how you can avoid it: In 2020 I started an ad + creative agency with my two best friends. At first, it was awesome. We grew quickly, the work was great, clients were happy, and it felt like every day we were making progress. Our biggest differentiator (and why we were able to grow so quickly at first) was client acquisition. We were really damn good at making great offers and closing deals. But as we continued to scale past 100k, 200k, 300k/mo... That became our downfall. While we put so much focus on closing new deals and growing our top line -- We failed to put in the same amount of work on scaling our systems & teams. Oh, we hired people.. 50+ people in office (not the smartest move in retrospect lol) We just didn't equip them with the tools or the resources to get the job done. 100% on us (as everything is on you as the founder) The rapid growth dream-come-true quickly developed into my living nightmare: --10-12 hour days, 7 days a week --A calendar filled with justifiably angry client calls --Frustrated and burnt-out employees --Still trying to close deals every day while dealing with the rest of it (it's really hard to sell when your company is falling apart btw) And, the worst part: Waking up every day knowing I'd put myself here with no tangible end in sight. In the end, we sold the company for much less than it was worth just to escape this monster we'd created. Here's a few tips on how not to make the mistakes we did: #1: Put as much time into retention and delivery as you do new client acquisition. The only way to prevent building a client-chasing trap for yourself is to learn how to predictably deliver great work and get your clients to keep happily paying you month after month. #2: Focus on high-value clients you can predictably deliver impactful results for. Charge more. Take on less of the right client. Say NO to people you can't serve.

It’s amazing how many agencies just copy each other’s tactics, like cold emails and DMs, expecting to scale to 100k per month. But how can you expect to hit those numbers if you're doing the same thing as everyone else? We live in a trustless economy. Everyone is reaching out cold to people who don’t know them. That’s why scaling to 100k (and beyond) has never been easier for those who focus on building a personal brand and creating content. Think about it, every SMMA guru is posting content online. They know it's the best kind of marketing. Why does it work? - You build relationships with your audience. - You stay top of mind by showing up on their feed. - Social media followers are warmer leads and close at higher rates on sales calls. - Prospects start chasing you, instead of the other way around. - One semi-viral post can book you hundreds of appointments. The best part is that posting content is WAY easier: Cold outreach = 1 message to 1 unknown person. Content outreach = 1 piece of content reaching thousands. Which would you prefer?
