1. Find Your Ideal Local SaaS Prospects

Your best clients are service-based local businesses that:

  • Depend on inbound leads (phone calls, forms, bookings)
  • Lack automation or follow-up workflows
  • Pay for marketing but complain about “no ROI”
  • Are in competitive niches (contractors, clinics, consultants)

📍 Think: roofers, real estate agents, med spas, lawyers, HVAC companies, etc.

Use Google Maps + Facebook + Yelp to build your local list manually.

2. Outreach That Works (Without Being Annoying)

Use cold email + DMs on LinkedIn or Instagram.
Skip cold calling unless you’re good on the phone.

Basic Cold Email Template:

Subject: Quick fix for your lost leads

Hi [Name],
I help [niche] businesses like yours fix lead leaks and follow-up gaps.
You may qualify for a free marketing audit—no strings.
Want me to take a look?

– [Your Name]
[Your Agency Name]

Send 30–50 emails per week max. Use a tracker like Instantly or Smartlead if scaling.


3. Prospecting at Local Events & Meetups

Offline still works.

  • Bring business cards + a short pitch
  • Ask what tools they use for lead follow-up
  • Offer to show them a “Free Audit” with no strings attached
💡 Join Chamber of Commerce events, local networking lunches, or industry meetups.

4. Prepare Your Free Marketing Audit

Use the Local Hero snapshot's built-in funnel and audit template.

Checklist:

  • Run their website + GMB through a basic SEO checker
  • Look for missing reviews, bad response times, or unclaimed listings
  • Check ad presence or lack of retargeting pixels
  • Insert screenshots into your audit doc
  • Highlight 3–5 issues you can fix on Day 1
Keep it visual and fast to understand—don’t overwhelm.

5. Run Sales Calls Like a Consultant, Not a Closer

Use Zoom or Meet. Keep it short and useful.

Call Flow:

  1. Intro (2 min): Why they booked, what they expect
  2. Audit Walkthrough (8–10 min)
  3. “Fix-it Plan” Presentation (5–8 min)
  4. Offer: Set up their account + automated workflows for X/month
  5. Close or Send Proposal (use HighLevel’s proposal builder)
🎯 Your close rate will rise fast if you show the value instead of explaining it.

🎁 Bonus Tip: Objection Handling One-Liners

ObjectionResponse
“Too expensive”Compared to losing 30+ leads/month, is it really?
“Let me think about it”Want me to send a full walkthrough so you can review it?
“I already have a CRM”Great—this plugs into it or replaces it 10× faster.
