📞 Pre-launch strategy: One week of 50 discovery calls before the mass email campaign. Not a sales call — a learning call. The answers will reshape the email, landing page, and form.
Phase 4 — Discovery Calls (Week 1)
| Step | Action | Goal | Status |
|---|
| 1 | Filter non-owner emails | Remove licensing@, permits@, admin@, info@ — these don't reach decision makers | ⏳ To do |
| 2 | Phone-verify top 100 leads | Confirm owner names before calling. 15 min of work, saves 5 hours of wasted calls. | ⏳ To do |
| 3 | Run 50 discovery calls | 5-min conversations: "What do you know about La Verde? What's your biggest concern about rebranding?" | ⏳ To do |
| 4 | Document objections + language | What words do they use? What kills the deal? What excites them? | ⏳ To do |
| 5 | Rewrite email + landing page | Use their words, address their fears, lead with what actually resonates | ⏳ To do |
Phase 5 — 3-Email Warm-Up Sequence (Week 2+)
🔄 Why 3 emails instead of 1: A single cold ask to 684 strangers gets 1–2% conversion. A 3-email sequence that builds trust first can 3× that rate.
| Email | Subject / Purpose | CTA | Timing |
|---|
| Email 1 |
Introduce La Verde — who we are, why Texas, why now. No ask. |
"Learn more" → brand page |
Day 1 |
| Email 2 |
Real operator story — photos of a rebranded station, before/after, what the owner said. |
"See the transformation" |
Day 4 |
| Email 3 |
Personal offer — "Carlos, here's what La Verde would invest in your station." ROI number in subject line. |
"See My Offer" → Module C |
Day 8 |
Discovery Call Script (Template)
Opening: "Hi [Name], I'm calling from La Verde — we're a fuel brand doing research on what independent station owners in Texas care about most when it comes to branding. Do you have 5 minutes?"
Question 1: "Have you heard of La Verde before?"
Question 2: "What would make you consider adding a brand to your station?"
Question 3: "What's your biggest concern about rebranding?"
Question 4: "What would the perfect offer look like?"
Close: "Thank you — we'll follow up by email with what we offer. Would that be okay?"

🧪 This is how the complete system works end-to-end — from finding an operator to signing a contract. Everything in green is already built.
Full System Flow — End to End
Step 1 — Find the Target ✅ Built
Census data identifies TX ZIPs with ≥40% Hispanic population. OSM + ArcGIS/SafeGraph pulls every unbranded gas station in those ZIPs. TCEQ cross-references the legal owner.
Result: 4,891 unbranded operators → 684 with verified email
Step 2 — Write the Email ✅ Built
Claude AI writes a personalized email for each operator using their name, station address, and city. Bilingual (English + Spanish). Subject line uses their actual address.
Subject: "Carlos, a branding opportunity for your station at 1420 W Commerce St, San Antonio"
Step 3 — Send via SendGrid 🔒 Needs DNS
Emails sent from outreach.laverde.com via SendGrid. Domain is warmed up (20/day → 500/day). Every open, click, and bounce is tracked.
From: La Verde <hello@outreach.laverde.com> · Tracking: open + click
Step 4 — Operator Clicks CTA ✅ Built
Email has one button: "See My Offer". Click opens the La Verde landing page pre-filled with their station info (name, address, city). They just confirm and add their station details.
CTA → https://laverde.com/offer?name=Carlos&addr=1420+W+Commerce&city=San+Antonio
Step 5 — Operator Fills Form 🔄 Upgrading
Operator enters: number of pumps, canopy sq ft, store sq ft, cooler doors, monthly gallon volume. ROI calculator runs instantly. Claude recommends the best tier (1, 2, or 3).
Input: 6 pumps · 1,200 sqft store · 8 cooler doors · 85,000 gal/month → Tier 3 recommended
Step 6 — Offer Generated + PDF Sent 🔄 Needs cost data
Claude generates a bilingual offer summary. Branded PDF is emailed to operator instantly. Calendly link included to book a call. All numbers are specific to their station.
PDF: "Based on your 6 pumps + 1,200sqft store, La Verde invests $55,000. Your gain: $39,100/year."
Step 7 — HOT LEAD Alert ✅ Built
The moment an operator submits, the sales team gets an email alert with all their data: name, phone, email, station specs, tier selected, total ROI. Sales rep calls with full context.
Alert → sales@laverde.com: "🔥 Carlos Mendoza | (210) 555-0192 | Tier 3 | $39,100/yr gain"
Step 8 — Sales Call → Contract
Sales rep already has all the numbers. The conversation starts where others end. Operator has seen the offer, done the math, and booked the call themselves. Close rate is significantly higher than cold outreach.
Rep knows before the call: volume, investment, ROI, tier preference, station condition
