Part 1 🎯 Prospecting fundamentals

Define your ICP (Ideal Customer Profile)

Precise target = leads 3× more qualified. Company size, industry, decision-maker role, buying signals.

Score leads before contacting them

Score from 0 to 100 based on 5 criteria: size, industry, seniority, active website, online presence.

Segment by company size

Micro, SMB, mid-market, enterprise: the pitch changes radically. Never send the same message to all.

Identify the right contact

In B2B, 60% of deals fail on the wrong contact. Target the decision-maker, not the influencer.

Build a clean list

Validated phone + business email + up-to-date company ID (SIRET) = foundation for any sequence. Dirty list = deliverability destroyed.

Partie 2 📞 Cold calling that converts

The 7-second hook

"Hi, {FirstName}, I'm calling because {specific buying signal}." The signal = the difference between a hang-up and a conversation.

The "I noticed..." technique

Mention a recent public info: funding, hiring, new site. Prove it's targeted, not mass.

Price objection rebuttal script

"I understand, and that's exactly why I wanted to show you our average 3x ROI in 60 days."

Two-step call

First call = 2 min max, single goal: book the meeting. No product pitch.

Best time to call

Tuesday-Thursday 10-11:30 AM and 2-4 PM. Avoid Monday morning and Friday afternoon.

Powerful qualifying question

"What's stopping you today from {desired outcome}?" Opens the door to the pain.

Partie 3 ✉️ High-performance cold email

Subject line < 50 characters

Personalized + implicit benefit. "{FirstName}, quick question about {specific topic}".

Proven AIDA format

Attention (signal) → Interest (problem) → Desire (benefit) → Action (15-min meeting).

The PS that gets clicks

95% of people read the PS before the body. Put your strongest social proof there.

Email < 120 words

Beyond = abandonment. Every word must serve the action. Remove useless pleasantries.

Follow up 3 times spaced out

D+3, D+7, D+14. Change angle each time, not just "following up".

Test 3 subject variants

Simple A/B testing. The best variant can triple your open rate.

Avoid spam words

"Free", "Promotion", "Click here", excess !!!, caps. Kills deliverability.

Partie 4 🗺️ Advanced Google Maps scraping

Combine trade + precise city

"Plumber Boulogne-Billancourt" > "Plumber Paris". Less volume but 10× more qualified.

Exploit ZIP codes

Refine by district / neighborhood. Hyper-local prospecting = better response rate.

Cross multiple keywords

"Renovation craftsman" + "Building contractor" + "Construction". Google Maps segments differently.

Filter by Google rating

Businesses with rating 4.5+/5 and 50+ reviews = often more serious, more solvent.

Scrape competitors

Businesses that advertise on a competitor brand = hot prospects for your own offer.

Enrich with company ID (SIRET)

SIRET → industry code + headcount + revenue. Qualify without calling.

Partie 5 🤖 Automation & sequences

5-touch multi-channel sequence

LinkedIn → Email → Call → Follow-up email → LinkedIn message. Not in order, in parallel.

Pause on signals

If prospect opens your email 5× in 2h = call immediately. Ultra-short intent window.

Personalization at scale

{name}, {city}, {trade} minimum. Add {specific signal} for the top 20% of your list.

Phone deduplication

Same number = same company. Avoids duplicate contacts that kill your image.

Behavioral segmentation

Clickers ≠ openers ≠ no-action. Different sequences.

Domain warm-up

Before sending to 1,000, send to 20, 50, 100 over 2 weeks. Protect your Google reputation.

Partie 6 💼 CRM & pipeline

Max 5 pipeline stages

Lead → Qualified → Proposal → Negotiation → Won/Lost. More stages = more friction.

Exit criteria per stage

Qualified = budget + need + timing confirmed. Otherwise back to Lead. Discipline = clarity.

Weekly pipeline review

Every Friday: how many deals per stage, avg age, forecast. 15 min max.

Mandatory activities

A deal without a planned activity = a dead deal. Every deal must have a "next step".

Conversion rate per stage

Measure lead→qualified, qualified→proposal, etc. You'll see where your pipeline leaks.

Review deals > 30 days

Over 30 days in a stage = warning. Either push or close as "lost".

Partie 7 📊 KPIs & optimization

Contact rate

% leads contacted vs. extracted. Target: 95%. If < 80%, your list is dirty.

Meeting rate

% meetings booked vs. contacts made. B2B target: 5-10% on qualified leads.

Close rate

% deals won vs. meetings held. Target: 20-30% depending on industry.

Average sales cycle

Days between 1st contact and signed deal. Measure → target 20% reduction per quarter.

LTV / CAC

Customer lifetime value / acquisition cost. Ideal ratio > 3. Otherwise review your model.

Cohort analysis

Group of signups from the same month: how many convert at M+1, M+3, M+6?

Partie 8 🎨 Psychology & conversion

Specific social proof

"37 construction SMBs trust us" > "Thousands of clients trust us".

Money-back guarantee

Removes the risk. +15-30% conversion according to studies. And refund rates stay low.

Real urgency vs fake

"Offer until June 30" OK if true. Fake countdowns = loss of trust once detected.

Price anchoring

Show the "Enterprise" plan at €199 before the "Team" plan at €49. The 2nd seems more affordable.

Testimonials with numbers

"Pipeline x4 in 6 weeks" > "Great tool". Numbers build credibility.

CTA with benefit

"Get my 50 free leads" > "Sign up". Say what they gain, not what they do.

Partie 9 ⚡ Advanced levers

Real-time lead scoring

As soon as a lead exceeds 70/100, Slack alert + auto sales task. Timing = everything.

Referral program

1 referral = 1 month free. Acquisition cost reduced by 60% when it works well.

Reverse webinar

1h of value without pitch → 10 min pitch → 10 min Q&A. Webinar conversion: 15-25%.

Long-tail SEO content

"How to scrape {trade} in {city}". 300 pages = massive intentional traffic.

Cross-promo partnerships

Find a complementary non-competing tool. Co-webinar or co-email = audiences doubled.

Visitor retargeting

Meta/LinkedIn/Google pixel. The 95% who leave without buying are recoverable for pennies.
