That’s what sales automation solution are for. Tools such as Woodpecker, Reply & Mailshake allow you to send messages at scale. They also automate the follow-up messages.

This means that you can build a multi-step sequence that’s completely automated.
 
sir i understad all steps except step 1 how to find leads on linked in if i want to find clients for wordpress website development how to find it any referal video or post please which will help me Thank You
 
@Shyout thank you for your wonderful guide and it really helped me get a clearer picture and a tremendous amount of testing to be able to provide such a full tool list for each individual purpose. Saves us all a lot of time finding these tools.

I've just a few questions if you don't mind.

1. I looked into phantombuster and kleanleads, but I do not understand what is the difference in their use cases as they both seem to do the same thing. Also, it can be quite costly for phantombuster with just 3h per day usage if i were to pay 70$/month. Is that the reason why in phantombuster we only use the "Sales Navigator Search export" and have those profiles be added to kleanleads to find their emails?

2. Do you know the pricing on kleanleads because I can't seem to find it's pricing and what are the limitation in terms of their pricing.

The rest of the guide tools provided are quite clear in terms of their costing, I personally do not mind in paying for these but I can't wrap my head around #2 and #3 what function of each should I be using for an effective process flow.
 
Hey @2xdswu - thanks for your feedback.

1 - Kleanleads has several features. In addition to being an email finder, it lets you scrape their database. Now I'm not sure how often it is updated. Thus, I usually use LinkedIn + Phantombuster then Kleanleads (or another finder) instead of directly using Kleanleads. With that being said, you can use Kleanleads directly without using Phantombuster. There are other alternatives to find emails such as FindThatLead, Dropcontact & Anymail finder. About Phantombuster, you usually don't need more than 30 min a day with the search export.

2 - Their pricing is displayed at the bottom of the page. There's is a $47 plan for 1000 found email addresses and a $97 plan that lets you find an unlimited amount of email addresses.
 
Hey @Shyout ! I got the job. :cool:

Mainly, it was with the help of the Free Trial Sales Navigator that I learned from your thread. It was easy to find the exact leads that I needed for the assessment.

Well, thank you! Lead generation and email outreach is new to me, so I'll keep learning here.

Thank you for getting back to me, I now understand the use cases for both tools now. Phantombuster is more for searching the leads effectively and fast while using kleanleads to ensure I'm able to retrieve the right person POC(point of contact) for their email.

I'm currently in the process of warming up my email with the purchase of a new domain right now for doing cold emailing, I've found that personalized email to be the go-to as of now would be the best approach for an Asian country that I'm currently in which can create a certain impact and disruption as an eCommerce enabler(Almost to none specialize eCommerce agencies competitor).

That being said I'd like to personalize each and every one of my emails manually writing and research my prospect but however, I'd like to also make sure it hits inbox and check on the stats and follow up.

Would woodpecker be something that can help me with that, because from what I see I can personalize to a certain extent such as their name, company, etc.

however I'm unable to find a way with woodpecker to actually personalize such as (company history, their website issues, and/or the POC hobby etc) to each of the 1st emails with follow ups (with personalization as well).

Would you suggest me using Gmail with a productivity tool instead of I can CSV import a lead list with its personalized email + follow-up personalization after my initial research?
It'd be great if you could give me some sort of suggestion.

P.S. I'm not looking to do this at scale with automation when sending email, I'd like to ensure each email hit the POC inbox to be well personalized with better response and scale with manpower doing the research and copywriting instead with automation.
 
@Shyout I just PMed you.

Got it! Just replied.

That's f**king great! Happy to hear that. Let me know if you have other questions. Happy to orient you towards great resources :)

Yes, Woodpecker and any other automation sending tool can help you with that. What you'll do is that you'll add a custom tag. On Lemlist for example, you can add an {icebreaker} tag where you can put your personalized sentence. With Woodpecker (and all others), you can add some custom information that you'll dynamically input inside of your email.

Even if you don't plan to do it at scale, using an automation solution will be helpful to automate follow-ups and to keep your outreach organized :)

Actually, without your guide and that free Sales Navigator, I'm telling you, I wouldn't pass the assessment. LOL. So thank you again!;)

I'm just waiting for our scheduled training/orientation to start. For now, I'd like to gather some important tricks and techniques from this thread. I'm pretty sure that it will be a bloody journey and it's quite challenging for me since I got ZERO experience with sales/email outreach.

I'm also suspecting that without qualified leads/sales coming from me within a specific timeframe, then it would be the end of my contract. I don't want that to happen so I have to make this work. :smirk:

Here's some of my questions for now:

1. Are you able to filter results based on someone's "certification"? Based on the test for our target leads, it's important that the person is knowledgeable or experienced with a specific software. So far, I found this option when filtering for lead accounts, so it shows companies that have or are using a specific software. I'd like to do the same in filtering for the people/employees.

2. Is it possible to know that the email you've sent has been received and read already by your target prospect?

3. For your outreach email, how does your content usually looks like? Is it a plain block of text? Do you use catchy images? Or..do you also include videos? Will the videos even show in the email? or it's just the video link that will show?

Seems like a lot of questions are popping up as I write this but I'll limit it for now. Thank you @Shyout .

Thank you so much, I will definitely give woodpecker a try once the two week period of email warm up has been over.

I'd like to know if you'd recommend me getting "Cold Email Mastery" as I can see that it'll be suitable for someone like myself as a agency.

Do you think it'll be worth for me getting it, and is there any case studies examples that would greatly benefit me and giving me a shortcut in terms of trial and error to avoids?

Also, in my case I do not need a full automation scale, would you also recommend me getting the recommended "Outbound on Autopilot"?
 
Wow just amazing , You have written Properly and point to point , I am already started testing
 
Great thread filled with information. Do you also have experience with Apollo? Anyone has insights into how Apollo compares with some of the other email senders mentioned above: Woodpecker, Klenty, Reply, Lemlist, Mailshake?
 
I got the inspiration from a question I received in my DMs. This is geared to people offering B2B services.

If you've seen some of my posts, you might have noticed I talk a lot about Cold Emails.
This is because, it's by far, my favourite way to generate clients and I believe it is an underrated channel when used correctly.

The only issue is that you need a lot of tools to get started. The good news is that cold email software is a very competitive industry, this means that a lot of tools offer a trial version. We will take advantage of that to get started.


1/ The first step of your lead generation process is to source & filter an audience. You'll need the LinkedIn Sales Navigator (= the premium version of LinkedIn). The good news is that they offer a 30-DAYS trial version (cost = $0).

2/ Second step will be to extract your lead searches from LinkedIn to some Excel/Google Sheets. You'll need a tool such as Phantombuster to do this at scale. Once again, good news: they offer a 14-DAYS trial (cost = $0)

3/ Third step will be to get the email addresses from your leads. Kleanleads let you do that and they offer a 7-DAYS trial (cost = $0)

4/ Once you have your list of email addresses, you'll need to verify them to ensure that the emails are valid. EmailListVerify allows you to verify 100 emails for free. Zerobounce also. Same for: VerifyBee, TrueMail.

5/ Now you want to insert your clean list of email addresses to an email sending tool that will automate your email sending and follow-ups. Use Woodpecker for that. Alternatives: Klenty, Reply, Lemlist. They all offer a 14-DAYS trial (cost = $0)

6/ Finally, you will want to warm up your email address to make sure you don't land in spam. Use Warmupinbox for that. They have a 7-DAYS trial (cost = $0)

The only issue is that you'll need to set up a domain and an email address from which to send. This can be done with less than $20.

That's it for now. For those who wish to get started with Cold Emails, I recommend the Cold Email Mastery (paid) course from Cold Email Wizard. If you don't have any money to spend just yet.

Cheers :)
Nice share, thanks 4 your post :D
