Startup checklist

  • •Pick a client niche
  • •Define an ideal customer profile
  • •Set up compliant outreach
  • •Build a reporting sheet

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Choose a client niche

    Specialise in one industry to build relevant expertise.

  2. Define the ideal customer profile

    Industry, size, role, triggers and disqualifiers.

  3. Build a researched list

    Verify contacts and note one personal insight each.

  4. Write personalised sequences

    Use AI for drafts; keep messages short and relevant.

  5. Respect anti-spam rules

    Follow applicable laws, include opt-outs and keep volume reasonable.

  6. Report results

    Share replies, meetings and learnings weekly.

From idea to launch

30-day action plan

  1. Week 1

    Define fit and outreach permissions

    • •Agree one client niche, buying role, qualifying signals and disqualifiers.
    • •Document approved contact sources and applicable outreach rules; public contact details are not automatic permission to email.
    • •Define reporting, suppression and opt-out handling before collecting contacts.

    Deliverable: An ideal customer profile and a compliance-aware research brief.

    Check: Every qualification criterion is observable and tied to the client's offer.

  2. Week 2

    Research a small verified list

    • •Build a small pilot list from permitted sources with source URLs and dates.
    • •Verify business fit and contact details; minimise stored personal information and respect platform terms.
    • •Use AI to summarise supplied facts, not invent prospect interests or scrape prohibited data.

    Deliverable: A sourced prospect list with fit notes and exclusion reasons.

    Check: Audit a sample for accuracy, duplicates, source provenance and suppression matches.

  3. Week 3

    Run approved, relevant outreach

    • •Draft short messages tied to a verified business need and have the client approve them.
    • •Check lawful basis or consent requirements, sender identification and opt-outs; follow CASL where applicable.
    • •Use modest pilot volumes and stop immediately on opt-outs; do not bypass spam protections.

    Deliverable: An approved sequence, suppression log and pilot report.

    Check: Track delivery, qualified replies, complaints and opt-outs separately.

  4. Week 4

    Report quality, not vanity volume

    • •Review replies with the client and separate positive interest from objections and disqualifications.
    • •Refine targeting and one message variable based on actual feedback.
    • •Agree the next scope around research and campaign work you control, not guaranteed meetings or sales.

    Deliverable: A qualified-response report and revised ideal customer profile.

    Check: Compare researched-fit accuracy and qualified replies; no fixed result is promised.

Example deliverable

A list of 100 verified prospects with personalised first lines.

Pricing & validation

Price on deliverables you control (research, outreach) rather than promised meetings.

Run a 2-week pilot for one client and review reply rates together.

Marketing & launch plan

  • •Share anonymised campaign learnings
  • •Offer a pilot package

Ideal customer profile

Create an ideal customer profile for [client offer] using these known customer patterns: [patterns]. Include industry, size, decision-maker, observable need signals, disqualifiers and evidence needed. Do not infer sensitive traits or invent market demand. Return a practical qualification checklist.

Evidence-only prospect research

Using only these permitted public business sources: [source excerpts and URLs], summarise [company]'s relevant business need. Return observed facts, source references, fit score reasoning, missing information and one useful outreach angle. Do not infer private information or invent contact details.

Relevant outreach draft

Draft a short B2B message to [role] at [company] using this verified observation: [observation]. Offer: [offer]. Use a respectful tone, one low-pressure question, accurate sender identity and [approved opt-out wording]. Do not claim an existing relationship or guaranteed results. Flag missing compliance inputs for human review.

Pilot response analysis

Analyse this anonymised outreach report: [deliveries, replies, classifications, opt-outs, complaints]. Separate positive fit, wrong contact, not-now and negative responses. Identify one targeting change and one message test supported by the data. Note sample limitations and never treat all replies as qualified leads.
