B2B Outbound Sniper

Autonomous B2B outbound engine that turns job board hiring signals into qualified pipeline. 6 LLMs. Your own email. 10/10 deliverability. Battle-tested in 30-day production campaign.

Turn job board hiring signals into qualified outbound pipeline — fully automated, end-to-end. Built and battle-tested by Lemnos AI over 30 days of live production outreach.

The core insight: When a company posts a $70-80K admin role, they're 72 hours away from committing that budget. Show up before they sign the offer letter.

What's Included

All scripts are bundled in this package — no external dependencies beyond Python + pip:

File	Purpose
scripts/scrape.py	Daily Apify scrape → Hunter verify → campaign load
scripts/hunter_campaigns.py	Campaign metrics, add/remove leads
config/apis.json.example	Config template — copy to config/apis.json, never commit

Required Credentials

Three API keys needed — set as environment variables or copy config/apis.json.example → config/apis.json:

Key	Where to get it	Cost
APIFY_TOKEN	console.apify.com	~$0.25/day at 50 results/keyword
HUNTER_API_KEY	app.hunter.io/api-key	Starter $49/mo (2,000 verifications)
HUNTER_CAMPAIGN_ID	app.hunter.io/campaigns	Included with Hunter account

Security note: Never commit config/apis.json with real keys. Add it to .gitignore. All scripts accept env vars as first priority — no keys ever need to touch source files.

Setup (5 minutes)

# 1. Copy config template
cp config/apis.json.example config/apis.json

# 2. Fill in your keys
nano config/apis.json

# 3. Edit your target keywords in scripts/scrape.py
#    Change the KEYWORDS array to match your vertical + geography

# 4. Run your first scrape
python3 scripts/scrape.py

How It Works

Daily (7 AM, Mon–Fri via OpenClaw heartbeat)
  → Apify scrapes KW-1 (50 results max)
  → Filter: target geography only, exclude job board domains
  → Hunter domain-search: 90%+ confidence emails only
  → Dedup: fetch all existing campaign recipients via API (ground truth)
  → Add net-new verified leads to Hunter campaign
  → Log to references/hunter-tracking.jsonl
  → 15-min gap → KW-2 → repeat for all keywords

Hunter handles the full send sequence automatically:

• Day 1: Initial outreach
• Day 3: Follow-up bump
• Day 7: Breakup email

Campaign Metrics

python3 scripts/hunter_campaigns.py metrics YOUR_CAMPAIGN_ID

Production Results (30-Day Run, CRE Vertical)

• 52.9% open rate on cold outreach
• Sub-3% bounce rate enforced by 90%+ confidence gate
• 0 spam complaints across 150+ sends
• Fully autonomous: scrape → verify → load → send → follow-up, no human in the loop

Customizing Keywords

Edit KEYWORDS in scripts/scrape.py:

KEYWORDS = [
    {"label": "KW-1", "query": "office manager",           "location": "New Jersey"},
    {"label": "KW-2", "query": "operations coordinator",   "location": "New York"},
    {"label": "KW-3", "query": "executive assistant",      "location": "South Florida"},
]

Any Indeed-searchable query + US location works. One keyword per run, 15-min gap between each.

A/B Testing

Run multiple Hunter campaigns with different CTAs and compare open/reply rates:

python3 scripts/hunter_campaigns.py metrics 111111   # Version A
python3 scripts/hunter_campaigns.py metrics 111112   # Version B

Compliance Note

This tool sends commercial email. You are responsible for compliance with CAN-SPAM, GDPR, and your jurisdiction's anti-spam laws. Use only verified business email addresses and always include an unsubscribe mechanism (Hunter.io handles this automatically in campaigns).

Infrastructure Cost
