I know you are struggling in the B2B lead generation sphere right now where you fight with a lot of noise. I know the feeling of having an important message, you really HAVE a good service / product that REALLY helps businesses to grow. But what do you do when it doesn't matter how good you or your product is if you can't reach and connect with the decision makers on the other side? The problem is that everyone is fighting for the same person's attention which makes it really hard and crowded. How do you actually reach all the way through?

‍

‍

Adapt Or Die

‍

My answer is targeted and personalized campaigns. Stop using big lists and send generic emails to the masses! Email providers are tightening the rules to prevent mass outreach. Soon a lot of the newbies will be out of the game. If you want to stay in the game, make sure to start using tactics like the one in this article to stay ahead of your competitors. Cold outreach is not DEAD. But it has CHANGED. Are you adapting or dying?

Secret B2B Lead Generation Tactic

‍

In this article we’ll show you how easy it is to stay ahead of your competition. Most people think you need to put in more effort to get a better output. We say, work smarter - not harder. Here’s the secret. Scrap relevant business data on Google maps and combine it with video outreach. It's not just about scraping Google Maps; it's about creating personalized videos that feature your lead on Google Maps as a backdrop. This dynamic combination is what sets this strategy apart. Most people may stop at data extraction, but the real power lies in the synergy between scraped data and visually engaging content to really capture your prospect’s attention. If you want to book more meetings, keep reading where I break down all the elements and tools you will need to execute this simple but powerful approach.

The Power of Segmentation

‍

One simple thing you need to start doing is to SEGMENT your lead lists. Make sure to use a common denominator and make one campaign for that specific denominator. Today people are sending thousands of emails to a big list because they don't know how to get hold of their prospect's data. So they use a shortcut buying irrelevant lists and sending emails like "Hey, I got this, you wanna buy?". What do you think the reply is? Of course your prospect will ignore you and I would agree with them. By using Google Maps as an email source you can do exactly the opposite. You will find relevant data, build a target campaign and send personalized emails to each and everyone of them. Being able to do this at scale, and the best part? Not many know about this so you will be one of the top 5% in the outreach game. This is a goldmine for anyone who is willing to do the little extra effort required compared to the rest and the investment is really small. Ready to get started?

The Goldmine: Google Maps Searches

‍

Lot's of people are going to Linkedin or using Apollo and similar to find their lead's data. Not many are using Google Maps as a source that has the most relevant data. Google Maps, designed for navigation and reviews, ensures that its data is consistently updated for users. By scraping this platform, you gain access to a goldmine of information about businesses in your chosen niche and location. In just a few minutes you can have your lead's websites, emails, phone numbers and more just by searching for specific local companies such as nail salons, plumbers, restaurants etc. AND in a specific area. These are the common denominators I'm talking about.

‍

Choose Your Target

‍

First off, choose your target and location. Let's choose one as an example: Beauty clinics in Texas.

‍

The Scraping Tools

Next off, find a scraping tool to scrape the relevant data. There are different tools for this but I will give you 2 suggestions that worked really well for me. 

‍

1. Phantombuster - simplifying lead generation by enabling effortless connection with dream clients across various platforms, including Google Maps, without the need for coding expertise.

‍

2. Leads Sniper - a user-friendly platform equipped with powerful tools for Google Maps, Google Search, and Yellow Pages, facilitating efficient lead scraping and streamlining workflows for enhanced lead generation.

This Google Maps automation will help you to:

Understanding The Psychology in Cold Emailing

‍

Okay, so now you have a relevant and target lead list with updated data. You now know who you are talking to and who you are building your campaign towards which is the most crucial and fundamental part in any successful outreach campaign. To be able to craft a campaign that will convert you need to understand how the human brain works when sending and receiving cold emails. Rule number 1 to remember is this harsh truth: PEOPLE DON’T CARE ABOUT YOU. Really remember that throughout all the steps before hitting the send button. This will change your mindset, going from a me, me, me perspective to their perspective. An easy example for this is instead of pitching you say: {NAME} you probably hate…. Mentioning problems and challenges for that specific target. Make the prospect join your conversation in their head where they secretly think: “You get me; what do you have?”

Switch from pitch -> problem.

‍

Do What’s Not Expected of you

‍

People expect you to be a fanatic newbie, which is throwing out a lame pitch about your product or service. Starting off your email with “Hi {first name}, My name is X, I am……..”

‍

‍

If Ivan had the mantra “People don’t care about you” he surely would have started out the email differently making me actually want to know what he had to say. But just by having this intro, the rest of the email is just not appealing. Why? Because the human brain is wired for connection, so start connecting. Stop being a fanatic newbie. Instead be a great prospector who is passionate about helping the other person. Simple tricks could be to just skip the introduction, mentioning how you found them or why it made sense to you to reach out to that specific person. In our example case it would be something like:

“I browsed on Google and searched for Beauty Clinics here in Texas and your company stood out to me.”

‍

Video prospecting Magic

‍

A simple trick to make a human connection, to send something they won’t expect and to pique curiosity is to use a tool like RepliQ to create personalized videos, at scale, towards your leads. Instead of sending emails with long and boring plain texts you would send a very short email with a personalized video where they see you in the video preview and their company on Google Maps in the background, like this:

‍

‍

But the most important part to for your lead to be curious and CLICK to watch the video, the preview looks like this inside of an email:

‍

‍

After mentioning that you found them on Google Maps and then seeing their company in the background of your video you will make that email personalized in an instant. To deliver the video after the introduction you can write something like this to make them want to watch the video:
I was thinking about a new idea I wanted to share so I made a quick video for you {NAME}

‍

I paste a guide below on how to generate RepliQ videos step by step.

‍

Pique Curiosity, Do Not Inform

‍

The ultimate goal in your cold email is to pique your prospect’s curiosity. Not until you managed to do that they would WANT to hear what you have to say. So how do you do that? By not sharing too much information. You want to talk about the challenges they face, making them understand that YOU understand their business. You then share that you successfully took companies like theirs from a pain scenario to a dream scenario. You SHOULD leave them with the question “How does s/he do that?”. If you raised this question in their head, you won. Because if they want to know the HOW, they would need to TALK to you. Keep this in mind while recording your video.

‍

CTA That Pushes To Start A Conversation Rather Than A Call

‍

Finish off with a CTA they won’t expect and that has to do with your video. Like:

“Did you ever consider something like that?” or “I would love your thoughts on my second point.” Something that they only can answer if they actually watched the video. As you can see so far we only have 3 text lines and one video preview in our email copy:

‍

• Intro
• Delivering the video
• CTA

‍

This catches your prospects eyes because it doesn’t look like a normal cold email and it feels relevant and personalized with a human touch seeing you in the video without affecting your deliverability (read more here).

‍

Crafting The Perfect cold Email

‍

As mentioned in the beginning of the email, email providers are restricting mass outreach and if you send too many identical emails, they will most likely end up in the spam folder. To avoid this we also implemented a feature in RepliQ where you can generate personalized lines adapted to each of your leads. All you need is your prospect’s websites which Phantombuster or Leads Sniper will give you. Simply upload the file in RepliQ and within minutes receive a file where you have a personalized icebreaker, a personalized line to deliver your video and a personalized CTA. The idea is that you choose one of the three in your email copy to not only reduce your spam rate but also increase your conversion. 

‍

Generating Personalized videos in RepliQ

‍

Step 1.

‍

Log in to RepliQs dashboard and choose the video option or the template option if you want to save a template and make videos in a simple 2 step process.

‍

‍

Step 2

Choose the Google background

‍

‍

Step 3

Upload your video

‍

‍

Step 6

‍

‍

Step 7
