Spinner Implementation in Smartlead

Smartlead supports spinners with this syntax:

{option1|option2|option3}

How to set up:

  1. Upload prospects to Smartlead
  2. Create campaign
  3. Paste spinner template in email body
  4. Map custom fields:
    • {{review_snippet}} → column in CSV
    • {{competitor_name}} → column in CSV
    • {{years}} → calculated field
  5. Smartlead auto-generates unique variations

Example CSV structure:

first_name,company_name,preview_url,rating,review_snippet,customer_name,competitor_name,years
Mike,Mike's Plumbing,https://...,4.8,"Fixed our heater at 11pm",Jane,ABC Plumbing,12
John,John's HVAC,https://...,4.7,"Installed our AC in 1 day",Sarah,Quick HVAC,8

Advanced Personalization: Review Scraping

Automated flow:

  1. Google Maps scraper finds business
  2. Scrape reviews (top 3-5):
    reviews: [
      { author: "Jane D.", text: "Fixed our water heater...", rating: 5 },
      { author: "Bob S.", text: "Fast service, fair price", rating: 5 }
    ]
    
  3. Select best review (5-star, specific, mentions service)
  4. Extract snippet (1-2 sentences, remove fluff)
  5. Map to email template

Result: Every email references a REAL customer by name with a REAL review quote.

Impact:


Screenshot Hosting (for follow-ups)

Don't embed images in emails (spam trigger).

Instead:

  1. Generate screenshot of their Google listing (no website)
  2. Host on your site: yoursite.com/screenshots/mikes-plumbing-gap.png
  3. Link in email: "Here's what I mean: [link]"
  4. They click → see visual proof

Or better:

Embed screenshot IN the website preview you built:


Competitor Research (optional, high-impact)

Automated:

  1. Google Maps scraper finds ALL plumbers in Austin
  2. Filter: has_website = true, rating < theirs
  3. Pick competitor: worse rating but HAS website
  4. Map to {{competitor_name}} variable

Manual (faster for testing):

  1. Google: "plumber austin"
  2. Find one with website but worse rating
  3. Use in template

Impact: Shows specific, local competition. Proves gap is real.


Combination Strategy (Maximum Impact)

Email 1 (Day 1): Review-based (warmest, most personal) Email 2 (Day 3): Screenshot follow-up (visual proof) Email 3 (Day 7): Urgency (deadline) Email 4 (Day 10): Feedback request (soft close, leaves door open)

Expected results:

100 emails → 4-6 replies → 1-2 sales


Anti-Spam Checklist

Spinner text (every email unique)

This is as personalized as cold email gets without being creepy.

Review references + competitor gaps + spinners = looks hand-written, feels relevant, avoids spam filters.
