Step 01 — Prospect Research
Apollo.io
Where the prospect list gets built
What it is
Apollo is a sales intelligence database with 275 million+ business contacts. We use it to search for companies matching the ideal MMR sponsor profile — businesses already spending on marketing and brand visibility. These companies already have the budget and mindset a NASCAR sponsorship requires.
How we use it for MMR
Filter by industry, company size, and marketing spend signals. The output is a verified list of decision-makers with contact details — ready to feed directly into Clay for personalization.
What makes a good prospect
Companies running billboard ads, paid social campaigns, or showing aggressive brand growth. If they're already spending on visibility, they have the mindset a NASCAR sponsor needs.
What this means for MMR
Instead of manually hunting for companies one by one, Apollo builds a targeted list of hundreds of qualified prospects in a fraction of the time. The quality of this list determines the quality of everything that follows.
Step 02 — AI Personalization
Clay
Where every message gets written by AI — personally
What it is
Clay is the most advanced AI enrichment platform available. It takes the prospect list from Apollo, researches each company automatically, then uses AI to write a personalized message for every single contact. Not a template with a name swapped in — a message that references that specific company's business, marketing activity, and brand. Every contact, every time, automatically.
Why personalization matters
Generic mass outreach gets ignored. Personalized outreach gets 4–7× more replies. Clay makes that possible at scale — every prospect gets a message that feels written just for them.
What it looks like
Instead of a generic pitch, each prospect gets a message referencing their specific campaigns, industry, and brand — and why an MMR sponsorship fits where they're headed.
What this means for MMR
Every company on the list receives a message that feels written specifically for them.
Step 03 — Outreach Execution
Instantly.ai
Where outreach gets sent at scale — automatically
What it is
Instantly is a purpose-built cold email platform for high-volume outreach. It handles inbox rotation, domain warmup, follow-up sequencing, and reply tracking. All outreach goes from a dedicated professional MMR email domain. These technical foundations are what make cold email actually land in inboxes and generate real responses at scale.
Sequences run automatically
Instantly sends the initial email and manages all follow-ups on schedule. If a prospect doesn't respond, a follow-up goes out automatically on a set timeline — no one has to track or remember anything.
Deliverability handled properly
Domain warmup builds email reputation before any outreach launches. Inbox rotation prevents flagging. Messages land in inboxes, not spam — at the volume needed to generate real results.
What this means for MMR
Outreach goes out on behalf of the MMR team — professionally, at high volume, every day. The system runs while Mason races.
Steps 04 & 05 — CRM, Nurture & Handoff
Go High Level
Where every lead lives after they respond
What it is
Go High Level is the CRM — the central dashboard where all prospect activity is tracked after someone responds. When a company replies in Instantly, Zapier automatically moves them into Go High Level and places them in the right pipeline stage. From here the system either keeps them warm automatically or flags them as ready for the team to act on. Derrell, Tony, and Mason will also have access to the LeadConnector app — Go High Level's mobile app — so they can check the pipeline and view lead status directly from their phones, anytime.
Nurture — no lead gets lost
When a prospect says "not right now," they enter an automated long-term follow-up sequence — check-ins over weeks and months. They stay warm until they're ready or definitively say no.
What the team sees
A clean pipeline showing every prospect and where they stand — Warm Lead, In Nurture, Booked Call. When someone is ready, an immediate notification goes out with full context and the recommended next step.
What this means for MMR
Derrell, Tony, and Mason never have to guess where a prospect stands or remember to follow up. They check the pipeline from their phones whenever they want an update — and act when a warm lead is ready.
Let's get moving
The path forward
1
Set up the outreach domain
Create a dedicated professional email domain for MMR outreach — separate from the main site. This is the technical foundation the system runs from and protects the primary domain's reputation.
2
Build and configure the system
Connect all five tools, build the CRM pipeline in Go High Level, configure automated sequences and Zapier integrations. Handled entirely on our end — no work required from the MMR team.
3
Build the first prospect list
Identify the first batch of qualified companies in Apollo — businesses with active marketing budgets that are the right fit for a Daytona, Charlotte, Las Vegas, Bristol, or Chicago sponsorship at $45K.
