Find Prospects
Build a list of 50+ qualified prospects with Google Maps research.
Why this matters
You can't sell to nobody. Target businesses already losing money from missed calls โ they're your easiest sells because the problem is obvious.
Step-by-Step Checklist
- 1.Search '[niche] near [city]' on Google Maps โ build a list of 50-100 prospects
- 2.The 3-Star Rule: target 3-4 star businesses (they know they have a problem, they're not ruined)
- 3.Follow the money: prioritize businesses running Google Ads (budget, but leaking leads)
- 4.The no-chat filter: no chat widget on their site = leaking leads = perfect prospect
- 5.The speed-to-lead test: call them โ if they don't answer, they're your ideal customer
- 6.Minimum 50 prospects before starting outreach
Common Mistakes to Avoid
