Your 15-Minute Challenge
Before you do anything else, take 15 minutes to define ONE buying signal that tells you a lead is ready to buy. It could be a company hiring for a role related to your service, securing funding, launching a new product—whatever makes sense for your business. Then, find five companies or decision-makers who fit that criteria.
If you already use AI tools, test how fast they can pull this data for you. If not, do it manually and see how much time you could save with automation. The goal? Start using data-driven outreach instead of cold emailing random leads.
