Workflow

Step 1: Get Business Data

Ask the user: "Do you have a CSV file with business data?"

If YES: Read their CSV file. Expected columns (any subset works):

• business_name, email, phone, website, rating, reviews_count, address, category

If NO: Tell them:

Step 2: Understand the Offer

Ask the user:

• What do you sell? (SEO, web design, software, consulting, etc.)
• What's the main pain point you solve?
• Tone? (casual, professional, direct)
• CTA? (book a call, reply, visit link)

Step 3: Segment Leads by Personalization Signals

Read the CSV and segment:

Segment A — No website: Hook: "I noticed you don't have a website yet..."

Segment B — Low rating (< 4.0): Hook: "I saw your rating is {{rating}} — here's how to fix that..."

Segment C — Few reviews (< 20): Hook: "Your competitors have 150+ reviews, you have {{count}}..."

Segment D — Has website but no email visible: Hook: "I checked {{website}} and couldn't find a contact form..."

Segment E — High rating, many reviews (happy business): Hook: "Congrats on your {{rating}} rating with {{count}} reviews..."

Step 4: Generate Personalized Emails

Template Framework (AIDA):

Subject: {{personalized_hook_under_50_chars}}

Hi {{business_name}} team,

[ATTENTION] — Reference something specific from their data
[INTEREST] — Connect to a problem they likely have
[DESIRE] — Brief proof/result (1 sentence)
