The problem it solves

Generic cold emails get ignored, but researching every lead's website by hand to write something personal takes forever. You end up choosing between sending a mass email that gets deleted or spending hours per lead you don't have.

Who it fits

Sales teams and agencies running cold outreach who want personalized openers without manual research.

How it works

  1. The process starts with a list of leads pulled into Google Sheets
  2. Each lead's website is visited and the most relevant pages are found
  3. GPT summarizes what the business does from those pages
  4. A personalized opening line is written using the lead's details and summary
  5. The finished opener is saved back into the spreadsheet, ready for outreach
What you get

Openers written from real lead research

You get a personalized opening line for each lead, built from research on their website, ready to drop into your outreach.

What you get

A personalized opening line for each lead, saved next to their contact details in a spreadsheet.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, a web scraping service, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
