Katie's Lead Generation Sprint
Your Step-by-Step Agenda to Generate Real Leads for Outbites
Why We're Pivoting
Social media has given us 40 followers after weeks of work. That's not working. Today, we're switching to direct outreach to food truck owners who are actively bleeding money to DoorDash and UberEats. These are people who need Outbites NOW, not followers who might buy later.
Your job today: Learn fast, execute faster. Every 30 minutes you'll learn something new, then immediately apply it. By 4 PM, you'll have contacted 60+ potential customers and started real conversations.

Write and send 15 cold emails using this template:
SUBJECT: Are you tired of 30% commissions?
BODY:
Hi [Name],
I came across [Food Truck Name] and your [specific menu item] looks incredible.
Quick question: Are you currently losing 20-30% of every order to DoorDash/UberEats?
We built Outbites specifically for food trucks - it's $1 flat fee per order (no commission) + you own your customer data.
Worth a 10-minute call this week?
Best,
Katie

- ✅ 50-100 food trucks researched & documented in spreadsheet
- ✅ 15 emails collected using Hunter.io
- ✅ Lead tracking system created in Google Sheets
- ✅ Joined 3-5 Facebook groups of food truck owners
What to Expect:
- 10-15% response rate = 6-9 conversations started TODAY
- 2-3 people interested in learning more
- 1 demo call booked for this week (that's a WIN!)
🎯 REMEMBER: Speed > Perfection today. The goal is VOLUME and learning what works. Track EVERYTHING.
Final Pep Talk
Katie, this is your chance to prove that direct outreach crushes passive social media. Every food truck owner you contact today is currently losing thousands of dollars per month to delivery apps. You're not selling - you're rescuing their business.
Some people won't respond. Some will say no. That's fine. You only need a few "YES" responses to make this worth it. Focus on the numbers: 60 touches = 6-9 conversations = 2-3 interested = 1 demo call.
Now get out there and make it happen. 🚀
