How to find good quality leads to cold email
Do you want to have your inbox full like the above?
In this guide, I will go over the most popular tools to scrape good quality lists to scale your SaaS/offer with cold email, and a simple framework you can follow to get these results.
The first thing you have to do is ask yourself:
Where does my ICP hang out on the internet?
(* Ideal customer profile)
It's either one of three options here: Twitter, Linkedin, or Instagram.
Literally, close your eyes and imagine your ideal customer using the phone, which app is he constantly opening throughout the day?
Now that you identified the main platform used by your ICP, here are the tools you HAVE to get:
Twitter (personal favorite)
- Use Tweetscrape
- Use IGLeads
- Use Apollo
Stop trying to cheap out and scraping your lists from whatever source, I guarantee there are no lists better than the ones these tools provide.
These tools will make you save a TON of time and money, especially in the long run.
(I will not go over the Linkedin guide this time, so if your ICP uses Linkedin, you'll have to wait for my next guide or use another social media)
Now let's get to the next step, ask yourself:
Who does my ICP follow?
You can either try to guess it, or you can use my personal method.
Just get a sample of 5-10 people you know are your ICP, and go over their account on your chosen platform.
Just look at who they follow, and start composing a list of authority accounts in the niche your ICP is in.
Example: if my ICP is Shopify store owners, I'll get a few profiles of well-known Shopify store owners, look through their followings, and try to compose a list of authority accounts that talk about Shopify stores.
The perfect accounts will have from 5k to 50k followers, I advise skipping accounts out of this range as they're either too small or too diluted.
Now that you have your list of authority accounts, start scraping their followers with Tweetscrape or IGLeads, and voilà!
You know have a list of tens of thousands of condensed customers, probably interested in your product/service.
I really prefer this strategy compared to any Linkedin one as I've noticed the positive reply rates are much higher when you're targeting Twitter or IG.
Next part I'll show you how to actually send the emails and my cold email setup that I use to send 10k emails per month.
Have a good one!
