Exploring the possibility of building an automated lead generator for my business
I run a small business (Bar & Restaurant and Event Center) and manually trying to find leads to capture corporate events always feels like a huge waste of time, most email addresses are ridiculously hard to find at that.
What I want, I feel, is something that I know can be done and probably has been done. I'm just not fluent in the tools to create it myself yet. I want to take the next steps into utilizing AI more for my business and this feels like the right place to start.
I essentially want to create something that finds people who fit my ideal customer, sends them an initial email, and then notifies me when they reply so I can take the conversation from there or even let AI curate the response and handle it from that point. I'm not trying to fully automate the sales process. I just want the initial legwork done so I can take over once the lead has been generated.
I imagine this isn't something thats a quick task, and that's fine. I don't mind putting in the work if I know it can be done.
Any pointers would be fantastic! Thank you!
