Website-visitor outreach
118
companies vetted in 11 weekly waves.
The weekly report of companies visiting our website took me at least a day a week to analyse and act on.
A weekly report from Leady lists the companies that visited our website. The system vets them, finds two decision-makers for each company worth writing to and drafts a personal email. I decide and send.
How it works
- Collision checkagainst the CRM and our mailFrom: the weekly visitor report from LeadyTo: stopped before any email: over a third of the companies, clients among them
- Qualify · Clauderevenue, size, a dated signalFrom: company websites, registers (ARES) and news
- I decide each companywrite now, wait, or let goTo: wait: back on the list at its next visit
- Contacts and drafts · Claudetwo decision-makers, drafts onlyFrom: Apollo, Hunter, company websites
- I approve and sendI read every draft
- Verify and logonly what is in SentTo: HubSpot: what was sent, per company
What broke and what I changed
Twice, the “visit” was an echo of our own email.
The company had come to the site because of a message we had sent, not out of fresh interest. The check against our own sent mail now runs before anything else.
CRM and LinkedIn roles were out of date, and Apollo returned a namesake from another company.
I confirm a person’s current role against a second source before I write to anyone.
A signature pushed one draft over the mail format’s line-length limit.
Drafts are now built so that no line can run over, and a test covers it.
Guardrails
Drafts only.
The system creates drafts and does not send. I read every one and send it myself.
Nothing is logged unless it is in Sent.
I verify what actually went out before HubSpot is touched.
A top-priority company needs a signal with a source and a date.
A visit alone is not enough.
A company is marked “no reply” only after a waiting period.
After an out-of-office note, the follow-up counts from the day the person is back.
