Hereโs what I meanโฆ
The other day I heard about a guy who asked for 250 leadsโฆ out of a database of nearly 20,000.
Another? 100 leadsโฆ when the clientโs site gets 2 million visitors a month.
And one more? 250 leads from a 50,000-lead database.
Thatโs not โtesting.โ Thatโs setting yourself up for bad luck to kill a good opportunity.
Hereโs the deal:
When you run too small of a test, one fluke can ruin everything.
If the first 10 or 20 leads donโt pick up, your client thinks,
โThis doesnโt work.โ
Meanwhile, the gold might be sitting in the next 15 leads you never touched.
Back when I sold thousands of leads a week, Iโd have people ask to โtryโ 10 leads.
My answer was always the same: NO.
Not because I was greedyโฆ but because tiny tests donโt give you a real picture.
They give you random chance.
So whatโs the right move?
When a client asks how many leads you need for an initial database reactivation test, the answer is:
As many as possibleโฆ without burning the whole list.
Thatโs because we need two things:
Statistical significance โ real data you can trust, not a coin flip.
A decent sample size โ enough to know if DBR with our Sleeping Beauty AI is a long-term winner or if we should pivot fast.
Most businesses are sitting on gold in their databaseโฆ but not all.
Some lists are dead, outdated, or poisoned from bad contact methods.
Testing tells you which youโve
