I have no time for acquisition – what can be automated?

Everything except the conversation itself: research, contact data, qualification, first outreach and follow-ups. Done by hand that is around 10 minutes per lead; in Mandokit it runs in the background and you step in once someone replies.

Why does my website generate no enquiries?

Because a website is passive: it is only found when someone actively searches – in B2B that is a handful of people per month. Predictable growth needs a second, active channel that approaches your target customers directly. That is exactly what Mandokit is built for.

Cold email, LinkedIn or Google Ads – what works in B2B?

Ads buy attention and keep costing budget, LinkedIn mostly costs time. Email is the cheapest per contact and the easiest to plan – that’s why Mandokit builds on it and supplies the addresses as well.

Does cold email still work in 2026?

Yes – but only with a narrow target group and relevant copy. Blasting bought lists is dead. Depending on the industry, 40–60 % opens and 2–8 % replies are realistic. Mandokit builds the list per search market itself and personalises every email.

Which software is right for customer acquisition and lead generation?

Look for three things in one tool: its own lead sources, a pipeline for following up, and email sending with reputation protection. Miss one and you are back to spreadsheet workarounds. Mandokit covers all three – you get concrete contact data after the very first search.

Is there a German alternative to Apollo, Lemlist or HubSpot?

Yes – Mandokit. The big databases are strong in the US market, but coverage of German-speaking SMBs is often thin. Mandokit researches live from DACH sources such as Google Maps and the commercial register, processes on German servers and costs from 79 € per month for the whole team instead of per user.

Is B2B cold email legal (§ 7 UWG, GDPR)?

In B2B yes, as long as your offer clearly relates to the recipient’s business, the sender is identifiable and every email includes an opt-out; the legal basis for the data is legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) f GDPR). Cold email to private individuals is not permitted. Mandokit only uses public sources and adds sender details and an unsubscribe link automatically.

How do I stay out of the spam folder?

Mandokit protects your reputation automatically: ramp-up in the first weeks, dynamic daily limits, regular health tests and checks for SPF, DKIM and DMARC. Nobody can guarantee inbox placement – the recipient’s filters decide.

What does a B2B lead cost – and what does Mandokit cost?

Via ads or trade fairs, the cost per qualified lead quickly reaches three figures. In Mandokit a fully processed lead – found, enriched, contacted – costs around 10 cents. Free to start without a credit card, paid plans from 79 € per month, cancel anytime.

SH**, HOW DO I FIND CUSTOMERS?

We get it.

Customer acquisition is hard. Really fcking hard.

You just wanted to do your thing.

And now you’re supposed to become an influencer as well, just so somebody gets in touch?

And still nobody knows where the next deal is coming from.

That’s what keeps you up at night.

On top of that you’re being pulled in fifteen directions at once.

Ohmygawd!

Should I blog? Start a podcast? Build a personal brand?

Document half my life on LinkedIn?

What about AI agents?

Everybody’s banging on about AI agents.

Should I run some ads?

Drop three grand on a new logo?

Post five times a day because some guy on YouTube said so?

somebody please pull out my eyelashes

Look: most business owners have a bad case of “I’ll just do everything at once”…

mixed with a scoop of ADD… and a sprinkle of “I can figure this out myself”.

So they end up doing a little bit of this… a little bit of that.

Until they’re screaming at their laptop about the forty things they “really should” get around to.

We call this state the rats nest.

Also known as hell.

It’s hot and muggy in there.

And we’d rather rub chillies in our eyes than run a business that way.

Or are you waiting on referrals and calling that a strategy?

Referrals are lovely. But: you never know when the next one lands. That’s not a system — that’s hoping with extra steps.

But this isn’t about us. It’s about you.

You’re reading this because your business isn’t where you want it to be.

Or it’s flying — and you simply want more.

More security.

More money.

More predictability.

More automation.

Whatever it is for you…

It starts with you making a decision right now.

THE STATUS QUO

Customer acquisition without a plan costs more than you think.

On the left: what almost everyone gets stuck on. On the right: how it works instead — and a calculation that shows whether it adds up for you.

WHERE IT USUALLY BREAKS

It’s almost never the offer. It’s one of these things.

Reach doesn’t pay invoices
Likes, clicks and followers feel like progress. None of it shows up in your bank account.
Waiting on referrals instead of starting yourself
Word of mouth is lovely. You can’t steer it. When the next customer shows up is pure chance.
Everyone waits, nobody approaches anyone
Marketing hopes somebody gets in touch. The clients you actually want never do that on their own.
Watering can instead of target group
Without a sharp focus your budget evaporates on people who were never going to buy.
The setup alone eats days
Buy a domain, create a mailbox, set SPF, DKIM and DMARC, warm it up. Most people give up right here.
Your emails land in spam
Without clean technical setup the provider filters you out. You never get read.
A mailbox burns and nobody notices
Too many emails at once, too many bounces. Weeks later sales wonders why suddenly nobody replies.
There’s a gap between interest and order
Enquiries come in. Without follow-up and process they drop off again.

Lots of motion. No path.

THE SOLUTION

Here’s how it works instead.

We find

Mandokit searches live for the companies that fit your market — with contact person, email and phone number.

We qualify

Every hit gets checked and scored before it costs you time. After that it sits sorted in your pipeline.

We reach out

Personalised sequences go out automatically, follow up on their own and stop the moment somebody replies.

DO THE MATH

And does that add up?

Customer acquisition is arithmetic, not gut feeling. Tell us how many prospects you want per day — Mandokit takes over the rest.

How many prospects do you want per day?3

We mean people who get in touch with you — not addresses.

per day, at 10 minutes per lead. That’s 1.6 full-time roles doing nothing but research and typing.

With Mandokit

0 hrs

Finding, vetting, reaching out and following up all run automatically. You step in once somebody replies.

And that’s why it’s:

Predictable. You know what’s coming before the month is over, not after.
Controllable. Need more enquiries? More emails per day. Fully booked? Turn it down. You get a dial instead of a hope.
Local or nationwide. A 30-kilometre radius, a single state or the entire DACH region — you decide how big your market is.
Automatic. All three steps run without you. You step in once somebody replies.
Scalable. Ten emails a day or a thousand — your effort stays the same. More volume means more mailboxes, not more work.
Deliverable. Your emails land in the inbox, not the spam folder. Otherwise everything before it was for nothing.
Protected. Normally your email would be flagged as spam within days — and from then on every message lands there, including the ones to your existing clients. Mandokit keeps your sender reputation clean.
Ready to go. First search in five minutes. Sender domains and mailboxes are booked right inside Mandokit — wired up instantly, no DNS fiddling.
Simple. Enter an industry and a radius. That’s the whole operation.

CUSTOMER ACQUISITION IN THREE STEPS

Three things stand between you and the next deal.

Search, pipeline and outbox. You don’t need more than that to win customers predictably.

FIND

You don’t know where to even start.

Social media and blogging don’t bring in jobs: you post, you wait — and whether anyone gets in touch is down to luck. Bought address lists are two years old, and your competitor is writing to the very same contacts.

Mandokit searches the live web for your target group. What you end up with are contacts with names, email, mobile number, address and social profiles — every record checked first. One good lead beats ten dead ones.

How the Lead Generator works

QUALIFY & MANAGE

Do you have a system, or are you waiting for good weather?

Without a system, winning customers is luck. The leads sit in Excel, in your inbox and on a sticky note next to the screen. Nobody knows who’s next — and you only notice what fell through once the quarter is over.

Mandokit checks every lead before it costs you time and puts it into a pipeline with a clear status. That gives you numbers for the first time: how many leads turn into conversations, and how many of those turn into customers. Whoever knows those numbers knows in advance what next month brings.

How Lead Management works

REACH OUT & LAND

You send — and end up in spam.

Not because your offer is bad, but because your mailbox is brand new and suddenly sends hundreds of emails a day — the spam filter sorts you out before anyone sees the subject line. And email is the only channel you genuinely control: who, when, how many.

Sequences with follow-ups run automatically and stop the second somebody replies. In the background Mandokit looks after your sender reputation: ramping up slowly, a daily limit per mailbox, daily health checks. If a mailbox starts slipping it pauses itself.

How Outreach works

Drop any one of the three pillars and the whole thing collapses: addresses without a process gather dust, a process without deliverability is busywork.

ONE MARKET, ONE BUTTON

Say who you want. The tool does the rest.

Industry plus radius in. Out come vetted companies, a sorted pipeline and emails that land in the inbox.

CUSTOMER ACQUISITION SOFTWARE FROM GERMANY

Built for small and medium-sized businesses. Not for San Francisco.

There are plenty of tools out there promising you “500 million contacts”. Then you search your own district — and find four entries, three of which stopped existing in 2021. For that, the database vendors charge several hundred euros. Per user. Per month.

And even when the addresses are right: one tool finds, the next manages, the third sends, the fourth tracks. Four subscriptions, four logins, four invoices — and in between you’re building Excel bridges again.

Sending is where it gets really funny. Most tools hit send and could not care less what that does to your domain. Two weeks later your sales team wonders why nobody replies anymore.

And once you realise you need your own sender domains, the next round of fiddling starts: buy a domain, create a mailbox, set the DNS records, warm it up. In Mandokit you book both right inside the tool and it’s wired up instantly.

Mandokit replaces the four subscriptions, researches live from DACH sources and processes on German servers.

Of course you can do all of this yourself. Research, maintain lists, warm up mailboxes, follow up. It works — it just costs you a few hours every single day.

The only question is how long you keep up that way while your competitor runs it automatically. Do the math: 100 emails a day, 365 days a year — that’s 36,500 companies that have heard of them.

And you?

OUR PROMISE

[N] VETTED COMPANIES FROM YOUR MARKET IN [X] DAYS — OR YOU PAY NOTHING.

You tell us the industry and the radius. We build the search, check the hits and deliver [N] companies from exactly that market — with company name, contact person and email address.

If it’s fewer, you don’t pay a cent and you keep the list anyway.

The small print, because we’re not here to mess you around: the market has to actually exist — if there are twelve businesses in your target industry in your district, we can’t conjure up a hundred. The data comes from public sources. And we guarantee the list, not your revenue.

And to stay honest: this list is the smallest part of it. It’s there so you can see how clean the data is before you believe a word we say. The part that actually brings you customers comes after — when those people are sorted, contacted, followed up on, and the emails land in the inbox instead of spam.

Tell us who you’re looking for. We’ll send the list.

Free, no credit card, no notice period.
