Artificial intelligence is transforming lead generation. This article outlines a free, simple, and easy method to generate thousands of high-quality leads for any industry or niche. The process involves finding leads and setting up an automation system to contact them on autopilot.
Finding Leads Through Google
The core of the lead generation strategy lies in using a specific search query in Google. This query has three components:
- Site: Specify the website to search (e.g., Instagram, LinkedIn).
- Niche: Define the target market (e.g., plumbers, electricians, doctors, lawyers, life coaches).
- Email Addresses: Instruct Google to return only profiles with email addresses.
The search query structure is:
site:\[website] "\[niche]" \[email domains]
Where \[email domains] is a list of popular email domains, separated by “OR” and including the “@” symbol within quotes.
Examples:
- To find life coaches on Instagram with email addresses:
site:instagram.com "life coaches" "\[email domains]" - To find surgeons on LinkedIn with email addresses:
site:linkedin.com "surgeons" "\[email domains]"
This search query directs Google to search the specified website for profiles related to the chosen niche and filter those profiles to only show those that have email addresses publicly listed.
Transferring Data to ChatGPT
Once the search results are obtained, the information is copied and pasted into ChatGPT. A prompt is then used to format the data into a structured table.
The prompt used is:
“Format the data below into a table with these columns: Full Name, Company Name, Website URL, Email, and Phone Number”
ChatGPT1 then processes the raw data and generates a table with the specified columns, extracting the relevant information from the search results.
Creating an Automation System
The next step involves setting up an automation system to contact the generated leads. Google Sheets and Make.com are used for this purpose.
- Google Sheet: The table generated by ChatGPT is copied and pasted into a new Google Sheet.
- Make.com: An automation tool (make.com) is used to create a scenario that triggers when new rows are added to the Google Sheet.
Setting Up the Automation in Make.com
- Trigger: The trigger is set to “New row” in the Google Sheet.
- Schedule: The automation is scheduled to run at specific intervals (e.g., every hour) to avoid spamming email providers.
- Google Sheet Connection: The Google Sheet is connected to Make.com by authorizing the Google account.
- Action: The action is set to “Send an email” using a Gmail account.
- Email Configuration: The “To” field of the email is dynamically populated with the email addresses extracted from the Google Sheet.
- Email Content: A concise and personalized email template is created.
Email Template Example:
- Subject: “Question about [Company Name]”
- Body: “I just want to know if you guys are still taking in new clients. I run an AI automation agency that can help improve your conversions by 60% in 90 days. Can I send this report over to you? – [Your Name]”
It’s recommended to keep outreach emails short (under three sentences) to increase response rates.
Running the Automation
Once the automation is configured, it is saved and activated. The system then runs automatically, sending emails to the leads in the Google Sheet according to the specified schedule. This creates an automated lead outreach system that works 24/7.
This method provides a free and efficient way to generate and contact leads using AI and automation tools.
