Building My List of 1000 Contacts
I am getting my contacts together for my list of 1000 contacts. Does any one have any tips on searching for them? Were to find their information? Just any tips in general as I build up this list.

If you're interested in outsourcing, I paid about $200 on Fiverr for a list (they use data scraping tools). I'm thinking of trying one more time with another provider on Fiverr -- I found one which would be a little cheaper. But I would like to hear from anyone who did it manually. How hard was it?

@Sheila Watterson 1,000 leads
Changing Niches
I'm wondering at what point we should explore other Niches. To be fair, I have not completed a Rule of 100 campaign (100 actions per day for 100 Days), but I have contacted a large number of leads. I had acquired a list of 1,000 leads and sent each company 2 emails. I attempted ringless voicemails for all of these as well, though only some 300 or so got through because of the No Call List. But I think this would still be considered 3,000 actions, right? I'm not sure what else to do with this list. 1. What else could I/should I attempt with this current list before moving on from this niche? 2. When do we know we've tried enough leads in a particular niche? I'm a little disappointed to not have more responses so far. At the same time, the experience has taught me that the process of cold emails is not that hard, and I am willing to keep going because I absolutely want to achieve my dream of a lucrative and flexible BOOKKEEPING business I can run from home. I'm willing to start a full Rule of 100 campaign as soon as I get more leads. Just not sure whether that should be in a new niche.

@Stephanie Brown yes, I told friends and posted on my personal FB very early on. As far as 7 communications, I would be reluctant to do this with cold emails for fear of being marked as Spam.
Potential Client
@Melissa Broughton I just received this email today and am entering panic mode again. 😭 I know it will get easier after getting a few clients or even a few calls with prospects. ---------------------- I’m considering hiring a bookkeeper for a clean up project for my church's QuickBooks. We would be looking for someone to help us 1) review and clean up QuickBooks, 2) reconcile bank and loan statements, 3) correct transactions classifications, 4) deliver clean reliable financial reports and 5) walk us through how to maintain the bookkeeping throughout the year. We are a non-profit, with monthly donations and fundraising events as primary sources of income, we don't have a payroll and our expenses are mostly building related costs (rent, utilities, maintenance), church/event-related expenses and a personal loan we borrowed to buy the temple. We would be looking to review at least the past 2-3 years of financial records to ensure our statements are clean and reliable as we think about the possibility of pursuing another loan to expand our temple. At this stage, we are primarily looking for an indicative fee range to assess whether the project makes sense for us financially. Some of the main issues we want to address are: Chart of accounts is disorganized and needs restructuring Need better bank and loan reconciliations Transactions appear to be recorded on an accrual basis, while reporting is done on a cash basis Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response. Best regards,

Okay. Just got this response: ------------------- Thank you so much Jonathan!! Do you have a google page with reviews so I can share your credentials with the Board? Also, do you have any experience with non-profits?
1,000 Voicemails
I tried 1,000 Ringless voicemails to my leads. I don't know if this was necessary , but I played it safe and chose to ignore numbers on the No Call List. This eliminated most of the phone numbers, plus a few didn't work for what ever reason, which is inevitable, I guess. The result was only a little over 300 went through. Thoughts?
Direct Messaging
So Melissa said the three main contact options are Email, Phone, and DMs. How do you do direct Messaging? Do you just look up a Facebook business page and leave a comment....or use instant messenger and hope that they can see it? 🤔

@Melissa Broughton do you need them to initiate contact before you DM?
