At A Glance...
- What is it?If you want access to an expensive lead source, such as Builtwith, you can often find freelancers with subscriptions to premium lead gen databases that you can hire to pull a list for you.
- Pros
- Cheaper than buying a subscription to the expensive tool
- Cons
- Difficult to simulate on your own what the filters will be. Tough to find freelancers who ACTUALLY have accounts on these places, so not a lot of options. When I (Zach) tried it, it was really frustrating due to communication issues and not being able to “tinker” with the filters. I ended up ending the project early because my freelancer was an awful communicator and I wanted to tear my hair out.
Client types it is generally best for
- Company Size?
- Larger companies where an employee is your point of contact & key decision-maker
- Smaller companies where the owner is your point of contact & key decision-maker
- Primary Presence?
- Online / Digital (SaaS, ecomm, course creators, agencies, etc)
- Brick & Mortar (Gyms, retail stores, restaurants, construction, etc.)
- Primary Monetization Style?
