🚀 How Our AI-Powered B2B Lead System Works

We’ve built a fully automated, cost-effective B2B lead generation system using open-source tools and smart workflows. Here’s exactly how it works:

🔍 1. Lead Scraping with n8n + Apify

We start by extracting high-quality business leads using Apify and n8n — completely free and without using expensive APIs.

• Extract businesses from Google Maps, LinkedIn, and other sources

• Filter by niche, location, or service type

• Pull essential data: name, email, phone, reviews, website, etc.

✍️ 2. Smart Icebreaker Generation with OpenAI

Once we have your leads, we automatically craft personalized cold email openers using the OpenAI node in n8n.

• Context-aware icebreakers based on company info

• Custom email intros that boost reply rates

• email subject and body text

• Tailored to your product or offer

📬 3. Automated Campaign Creation

We then use n8n to set up automated cold email campaigns — ready to launch without any third-party email platform (unless you choose one) like instantly brevo or sender.net etc.

• Schedule emails, follow-ups, delays, and logic

• Connect to Gmail, SMTP, Brevo, or other free tools

• Monitor delivery, replies, and unsubscribes
