How it works
1
Pick one niche + one city
Focus beats broad. Choose a niche you understand (restaurants, dentists, contractors) and a single metro area to dominate first.
2
Pull a list of no-website businesses
Run a FindLeadly search with the 'no website' filter. 50 businesses without a site = ~10 real conversations = 1–3 clients.
3
Call or walk in — don't email
Local owners answer phones, not inboxes. Short pitch: 'I noticed you don't have a site. I build simple ones for [niche]. Got 5 min this week?'
4
Systemize with CSV + CRM
Export your list, dial through it in batches, log outcomes in a CRM or Google Sheet. Repeat weekly.
