Follow Up
- Track outreach pipeline (e.g., Saved → Contacted → Responded → Partnership)
- Add notes and update status as conversations progress
- Filter and review saved partners to keep momentum
Tips
- Start with a small radius (1–5 miles) for the quickest wins.
- Be specific: exact addresses often return better local matches than broad city names.
- Consider logistics (delivery/installation) when selecting partner types.
Troubleshooting
- “My Location” requires browser geolocation permissions.
- If no results appear, increase radius or try a nearby city.
- If a partner appears “already saved,” it has been added to your list—check Follow Up.
