I work in sales and I’m a self taught programmer as well so I developed multiple programs that targets a specific prospect , it’s almost like social engineering . You dig in info on permits for local governments, sometimes they show the General contractor working there and then you find their email format for that specific company, create a JavaScript snippet to extract all the first names , last names and positions of that company from LinkedIn . Convert them into a power query list on excel and use VBA to set the fields first_name, last_name ,position and email and automate a targeted email: “hey [first_name], [talk about details on that permit with a quick sales pitch]” . If it’s done near a holiday like today you can get their automated messages with very useful information like their phone numbers or other people’s phone numbers who are working on same projects or different projects. Then an only then that’s when the phone call is crucial.
