3. What Other Tools (If Any) Did You Use For This Campaign And Why?

Since We Run A CRO Business, Traffic Is The First Thing That We Look At Before We Start Pitching Potential Prospects.

So Ahrefs Is The #1 Tool That We Use To Prospect Websites To See If They Have Sufficient Traffic. We Also Use The Batch Analysis Tool And The Competing Domains Section In Ahrefs Heavily.

We Also Use Linkedin Typically For Websites Above 500K+ Traffic, Since We Want To Reach The Right Prospect Rather Than Sending The Email To A General Email Address.

For Email Verifications, We Use Typically Use 5+ Tools Since Each Serves A Different Purpose: Hunter.Io, ZeroBounce, Snov.Io, MailTester.Com, And Email-Verifier.Online-Domain-Tools.Com.

6. What Problem Did NinjaInfluence Solve For You, Or How Was NinjaInfluence Specifically Able To Help With Your Campaign?

Scheduled Follow-Ups – When We Started Looking At Options In 2018 For An Outreach Tool, We Wanted A Tool That Would Allow Us To Do Multiple Follow-Ups Automatically So We Could Save A Ton Of Time.

Blacklist Option – Whenever A Prospect Isn’t Interested In Our Services We Wanted To Make Sure We Don’t Disturb Them Again. So We Would Add Those Leads To The Blacklist Database As Well To Study The Behavior Of Those Leads So That We Could Improve Our Future Sequences.

Sending New Sequences – Once The Initial Follow-Ups Are Sent And If We Decide To Launch A New Sequence The Dashboard Is Pretty Easy To Schedule A New Campaign. All We Need To Is Select The List Name And Then The New Template/ Sequence That We Created And Then Click On “Launch Campaign” And You Are Done.

7. Before NinjaInfluence, What Was Your Process For Prospecting And Launching Your Campaigns?

When We Decided To Start Influence, We Knew That We Had To Invest In A Tool To Start The Process. We Came Down With 3 Popular Options And Decided To Trial One By One.

Luckily, NinjaInfluence Was Able To Satisfy All Our Needs, So There Wasn’t A Need To Trial The Other 2 Options.

But Lately, Image And Video Personalization For Outreach Has Been Making Huge Rounds. So That’s Something I Would Love To See In NinjaInfluence At An Affordable Cost For Everyone.

So To Answer The Question, We Didn’t Follow Any Manual Process To Send Emails. We Started Our First Outreach Campaign With NinjaInfluence.
