The "10-80-10" List Building Secret

How to build your dream client list without doing all the work...
Just shared this framework with a client stuck in list-building hell...
The 10-80-10 Method:
1. First 10%: YOU create the criteria
Define ideal client profile
Set clear parameters
Document your "must-haves"
2. Middle 80%: DELEGATE the heavy lifting
Have assistant pull data
Use tools like Apollo
Build initial list
3. Final 10%: YOU refine and validate
Quick scan for obvious misses
Verify high-value targets
Green light final list
This turns a 10-hour job into a 2-hour involvement.
Your time is better spent closing deals than building spreadsheets.
