Hi all—I’ve been struggling with managing a scalable lead database, and I know a lot of people here have been too.
I spent some time working through it last week, and here’s a simple way I solved it for less than $10/m:
- Use ChatGPT to create a structured lead qualification system (categories: name, industry, budget, decision-maker, last contacted).
- Scrape leads from LinkedIn using Phantombuster and export them into Google Sheets.
- Automate enrichment with Clay.com to add missing emails, locations, and job titles.
- Set up Airtable (free) as a central lead database with automated AI tagging.
- Use Zapier (or Make.com) to sync with your email outreach tool and track responses.
If anything is unclear, let me know. Hope this helps you! 🙏
