IM for brick and mortar biz

Need to compile lists of potential clients, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, biz names, etc.... Any advice on this? I've been doing it by hand. I'm selling a certain product that is built from scratch in a local shop... Need to find a way, MAYBE A BOT?, to compile lists of potential clients.

Bots exist for scraping business directories like Yelp and Manta. Find them by searching "yelp scraper".
Alternatively you can hire a programmer to automate scraping your business directory.

You should definitely automatize the process using custom bot. Just think how many hours you spend and what is value for each hour and you will realize that a $$$ custom bot will be a bargain.

OP, you can find all the scrapers you need here - http://www.botguruz.com/
