Prospecting & Outreach on Facebook

Start by navigating the Facebook Home feed by clicking the Facebook logo in the top left.

Click "Groups"

In the Search field, enter the relevant keywords to find groups that have the target customers.

For this example, we typed in "Read estate agents". Once a list of groups pulls up, start by joining 5-10 groups. Ensure that some are public and some are private groups.

When you join a 'Private Group', you will be prompted to answer Membership Questions. Answer these to the best of your ability given the information you have access to. For email address requests, use the email address that was used to create the Facebook account.

Answer the questions and Click "Submit".

Continue to go down the list and join at least 10 groups the first day.
