Answers for anyone selling to local businesses

Does Resquared support outreach channels besides email?

Yes, but email is the only generally available automated outreach channel. You can use business phone numbers for calls, linked Facebook and Instagram profiles for manual messages, and exports for direct mail or field visits; native social messaging is relaunching in beta.

Find every footprintPublic records, business websites, social profiles, review sites, maps and listings, resolved into one business.
Prove the business is real and openEach source is scored for identity and existence; a business stays only when the strongest sources agree.
Pick the best source for every attributeSources are ranked separately for each of hundreds of attributes, and every value comes from the strongest one.
Verify what you will act onEmails are verified before they reach you, so outreach lands with the business.

Treat the channels as one coordinated sequence. Start with a focused email campaign, then call a good-fit business promptly when it replies. If the reply does not include a number, look for the business phone number in Business Details.

For Facebook and Instagram, open the linked business profile and send a short, personal message yourself. Refer to your earlier email when useful. Native automated social messaging is relaunching in beta, so it is not available to every account.

For physical mail or field visits, export contacted prospect and engagement data. Use the addresses to prepare mailers or plan an efficient route, then mention the earlier email when you call or visit.

What to do

  1. Build a focused list for one business type and area.
  2. Launch a personalized email sequence.
  3. Call qualified businesses promptly after they reply.
  4. Use linked Facebook or Instagram profiles for manual follow-up messages.
  5. Export contacted businesses for mail, calling, mapping, or field visits.

Related questions

Can I automate Facebook or Instagram messages?

Native messaging is relaunching in beta and is not generally available. Manual, personalized messages remain the recommended approach because aggressive automation can put your social account at risk.

Does Resquared include phone numbers?

Yes. Business records can include phone numbers that you can use for calls, and clicking a listed number can mark the business as contacted by phone.

Which channel should I use first after a positive reply?

Call the business the same day when possible. If no one answers, leave a voicemail and send a personal email mentioning that you tried to call.
