Intent beats a cold list
A purchased contact list is strangers. A person who just commented "where can I buy this?" or "price?" under a video in your category is a warm lead who raised their hand in public. The trick is finding them at scale and reaching them well.
Zami's LeadGenerator turns a plain-language market into a ranked lead sheet — mined only from people who publicly signalled buying interest — with contact details enriched and a first outreach message drafted for the hottest ones.
Do it in five steps
- Open Apps → LeadGenerator (under Sell).
- Describe the market in one line — who, buying what, where.
- Run it and read the list. Each lead gets a potential score based on how clearly they signalled intent, with the comment that flagged them.
- Use the enriched contacts. Where public, Zami surfaces reach paths — phone, Telegram, WhatsApp, email — and drafts a personalized intro for the top leads so you can reach out in minutes.
- Work the top first. Sort by score, start with the hottest, and keep the source comment handy — referencing what they actually said is what makes outreach land.
Try this: "Real-estate buyers in Addis Ababa — find people publicly asking about buying, rank them, and draft an intro for the top ten."
The honest part, up front
This works because people post in public. Zami uses only what is already public, scores how strongly someone signalled intent, and flags uncertainty. Reach out like a human who read what they said — not a bulk blast. Respect the platform's rules and local norms, and do not treat a public comment as consent for spam. Used well, it is the warmest top-of-funnel you can build; used carelessly, it is noise.
What it is great at — and what to double-check
Great at: converting "I need leads" into a prioritized, reason-backed list you can act on today, in markets like Addis where the signal lives on TikTok and Telegram.
Double-check: verify contact details before anything high-stakes, and sanity-check the hottest leads by hand. Public intent is a strong signal, not a signed contract.
