With the Import Leads feature, you can now bring your own lists directly into Stan, manage them in one place, and use him to handle outreach and follow-ups.

Why Import Leads?

Many businesses already have leads from:

  • Networking events or trade shows

  • CRM exports

  • Purchased lead lists

  • Existing contact databases

Instead of managing them separately, you can now let Stan organize and nurture them right alongside the leads he finds for you.

How It Works

  1. Go to the Leads Section
    Open your workspace and navigate to the Leads tab.

  2. Click “Import Leads”
    Choose the Import Leads option.

  3. Upload Your File (CSV)
    Make sure your CSV includes fields like:

    • First Name

    • Last Name

    • Email

    • Company

    • Job Title

  4. Stan Organizes Your List
    Once uploaded, Stan will place them neatly into your lead database.

Important Notes

  • Refine Your Filters → Remember, the leads Stan finds are based on your search filters. You can edit these under Leads → AI Search Filters or by asking Stan directly.

  • Automatic Outreach → Right now, automatic cold email outreach is only available for leads Stan sources himself. Imported leads can still be managed, tagged, and prepared for campaign, but you have to manually enroll them for outreach:

    • Open Stan's leads section and select your imported leads from the list

    • Click on "Manage Sequences" and enroll your imported leads.

  • Email sequence templates → Every email Stan sends is based on the sequence that you have set. You can edit this from within Stan by pressing on the Sequence tab and selecting the Sequence.

  • Spam Protection → Stan sends emails in small batches (every 5 minutes) with a cap of 200/day to protect your sender reputation and avoid spam filters.
