How To Get Directory Customers On Autopilot!

Описание: If you’ve launched a directory but don’t know how to start building relationships with the businesses you’ve listed — this video is for you.

In this step-by-step walkthrough, I’ll show you how to turn your static listings into real business connections using a cold outreach system that combines personalization, automation, and video.

You’ll learn how to:
1. Write cold emails that feel warm and personal
2. Use Tella to record custom intro videos
3. Auto-generate thumbnails using Urlbox + Placid
4. Automate your emails with Airtable and Make.com
5. Track responses and follow up like a pro

This is the exact system I use to grow The Running Directory — and you can copy it for your own project.
