Top 4 Free Lead Gen Growth Hacks

Heyo!

Last week, we had a webinar with the ZeroBounce team, where we showed how we build our own outbound (check it out here).

A lot of people were impressed by not only strategy but also the mall growth hacks I showed (like Sales Navigator Formula) 🔥 

So I’ve decided to share my fav cold email & lead gen Free growth hacks ❤️ 

Find Anyone’s LinkedIn Profile Growth Hack

There are 2 things that you need to know about your contacts for outbound:

1. Email

2. LinkedIn profile

With email it’s easy, you can use any Chrome extensions or tools to find emails.

With LinkedIn, it’s a bit harder…

So we’ve made a Google Sheet’s Growth Hack that finds anyone’s LinkedIn Profile for FREE, check it out how it works:

Here is a quick video on how to implement it:

Cold Email Planning Calculator

Most founders and sales teams say:

“We need 20 qualified leads/month.”

Then they send 500 emails and hope for magic 🪄 

❌ The math doesn’t work.

Not in 2025. Not with how reply rates are tanking across the board.

✅ The Fix: This Cold Email Calculator

We built a dead-simple, interactive Google Sheet.

You just plug in:

• 🎯 Your monthly lead goal

• 📬 Your average reply rate (or use our benchmarks)

• 👍 Your positive reply rate

100% Email Verification Growth Hack:

Do you know that Google might tell you what email exists and what doesn't?

Yes - Google tells it directly!

Here is how to do it:

1. Select all emails in your Google Sheets

2. Convert it to "People" using Smart Chimps

3. Everyone who was converted = 100% valid email

*it works only for emails on Google

Sales Navigator Growth Hack

Sales Navigator is amazing, but combining both “Account” & “Lead search” is challenging, so we’ve developed our way to scrape the most relevant people.

1. We find relevant companies;

2. We scrape them;

3. We use the formula (download below) with titles we want to scrape

As a result, it creates a unique Sales Navigator URL, that we can scrape in bulk using Phantombuster or TexAu.
