Start without a data subscription
Build your own list instead of renting a database by the credit.
- Start on Free, no credit card
- No data subscription, no credits
- Your list stays yours if you stop
Why finding clients feels expensive
You are the salesperson, the bookkeeper and the one doing the actual work. Prospecting gets the hours that are left.
Lead tools want a monthly subscription before you have sent a single email.
Start on the Free plan. One list and small campaigns cost nothing, and there is no card to enter.
Credits run out just when a good list comes along.
Riftjaw has no credits. You bring the companies, so there is nothing to meter. Deriving an email from a domain is free too.
Your potential clients sit in a note, a spreadsheet and your inbox.
Import them all into one lead file. Duplicates are flagged before anything is saved.
Cancel a data tool and the list you built there is gone.
Everything you add stays in your own database and goes back out as CSV at any time.
A client list you build once and keep
A freelance copywriter might want marketing agencies that post job ads for writers. A web developer might want local shops with an outdated site. You know better than any database who your clients are. What you need is a place to put them.
In Riftjaw you create a lead file with its own name, add the fields you care about, like Site looks old or Uses a booking system, and bring in rows from wherever you found them.
- CSV and Excel from any source
- Your own fields: text, email, phone, website, number, date, note
- Status per company: New, Contacted, Replied, Customer
A week with Riftjaw as a freelancer
Short sessions between client work. Nothing has to be finished in one go.
Collect this week's companies
Export a directory with a scraper, or copy a results page and paste it into Paste and collect. It finds the list on the page and turns it into rows for your lead file.
How Paste and collect works
Add emails where they are missing
Tick prefixes like info@ and hello@ during the import, and every company with a website gets an address on its own domain. They are educated guesses, not verified addresses.
How email from domain works
Write one good email
Pick the segment to reach, use {first_name|there} and {company}, send a test to yourself and read it on your phone.
Send it in small batches
The campaign goes out in batches of 10. Pause it if a reply needs your attention first.
How campaigns work
Update the status
When someone answers, open the record and set it to Replied, so the follow-ups skip them. Tag the rest for a later round.
