Prioritizing Your Outbound Lead List

Let's be honest, list building isn't sexy...but growing revenue is.
Let's say you're going to start going outbound to businesses in your target vertical market.
Once you have a list of targeted leads, the next thing to do is prioritize the list.
You want to isolate those businesses on your lead list that are the most likely to:
Be experiencing acute pain from the problem your business solves
Be able to afford your services
For example, let's say you sell websites to dentists. First, you might want to look up the last time they had a website redesign (on Wayback Machine). Websites usually last for 2-3 years, so dentists whose websites are 3 years old or older are probably worth prioritizing over other leads who just updated their website 2 months ago.
Also, to ensure you target dentists who can afford your website design services, you'll likely want to de-prioritize those dentists who have only one dentist or staff member. Instead, you can prioritize practices with multiple dentists in multiple locations.
You may think this is a lot of trouble for just a lead list. And you're right; it is a lot of work. 😅
But this pre-launch list preparation work will improve the likelihood of your target prospects being interested, resulting in a higher conversion rate and faster revenue growth. 🌟
Have a great day!
