The Power of Email Personalization at Scale

Before we jump into the nitty-gritty, let's talk about why creating personalized first lines at scale with Databar is so powerful for prospecting:

• Time Savings: You'll automate tedious research and data entry tasks, freeing up hours of your valuable time.
• Data Quality: You'll access up-to-date, relevant information from multiple sources, ensuring your outreach is on point.
• Personalization at Scale: You'll create unique, engaging content for each prospect, making every email feel tailored and personal.
• Improved Engagement: You'll boost your email open and response rates with tailored messages that resonate with each recipient.

Now, let's get cracking on how to set this up!

Step 1: Build Your Prospect List

The foundation of any successful email campaign is a well-curated list of qualified leads. With Databar, you can upload your own list or create a new one in just minutes. Here's how to create a list of leads by scraping LinkedIn from scratch:

1. Start a new project in Databar using the LinkedIn people search scraper
   
   

2. Set your target criteria (e.g., software industry, company size of 10-100 employees, location: New York)
   
   

3. Run the scraper to identify matching prospects 
   

Within seconds, Databar scans the data source LinkedIn to compile a list of potential prospects that meet your specified criteria. This process alone can save you hours of manual research and data entry.

Step 2: Enrich Your Data with LinkedIn Posts

Now that you have your basic prospect list, it's time to add some valuable context. We'll use Databar to automatically fetch the latest LinkedIn posts from your leads:

1. Click on the "Enrich" button 
   

2. Search for and select the "Get LinkedIn posts of user" enrichment
   
    
3. Map the LinkedIn user profile ID column & select the columns to be added
   
    
4. Add the enrichment to your table 
   
    
5. Run the enrichment for all rows 
   

Just like that, you've added a layer of rich, up-to-date information about your prospects. This data about the prospects' latest LinkedIn posts will be the basis for crafting personalized messages that resonate.

You might see something like this in your enriched data:

Latest LinkedIn Post: "Excited to announce our new AI-powered CRM integration!"

Step 3: Generate Personalized First Lines with AI

Here's where the magic happens! Databar's AI features will help you create relevant and engaging first lines for your email campaign:

1. Select the "Use AI" feature
   
2. Select " Create a custom prompt"
   
3. Insert your prompt & map the LinkedIn posts column to your prompt
   
    
4. Add a new column for the personalized first lines
   
5. Run the AI for all rows
   

Here's the basic prompt I used for this example:

{row 1} contains a LinkedIn post from users. Summarize this LinkedIn post by completing the following sentence: "Saw your LinkedIn post about__" keep the sentence very short and casual. For example, write "Saw your post about Databar's new feature. Keep the sentence under 15 words."

In moments, you'll have unique, contextually relevant opening lines for each prospect based on their recent LinkedIn activity. This level of personalization would typically take hours to achieve manually, but with Databar, it's done in minutes. Cool, right?

Step 4: Export Your Enhanced Data

With your newly enriched and personalized data, you're ready to launch your campaign:

1. Click the "Share" button
   
    
2. Choose your preferred export format (CSV, Excel,, etc.)
   

3. Or import the data directly into your outbound tool 
   

And just like that, you're armed with a powerful, personalized email campaign ready to go!

Pro Tips for Maximizing Your Prospecting Results

1. Refresh your data regularly: LinkedIn posts change frequently. Set up a schedule to re-run your enrichment and AI personalization to keep your outreach fresh.
