01Overview
I built this to scale freelance prospecting without losing the personal touch. It uses Selenium for dynamic web scraping and pulls from public APIs like Yelp to gather accurate business contact data, then filters and processes it to extract emails, contact persons and industry classifications.
The email side generates messages tailored to each business so outreach reads as personal, not generic. Configurable templates, rate limiting to dodge spam detection and campaign tracking make it an end-to-end outreach tool.
