Help! Trying to reach 200K+ prospects

Hey all- I am leading sales / marketing at a FinTech company which sells to financial advisors. In the US alone, there are over $200K+. Our internal CRM has only 1,000 contacts and its been picked completely. I am hiring two reps in October but until then am a solo shop with little budget until our seed round. Any tips on how to try and reach a chunk of these people with no budget? I did a LinkedIn search and found about 1,000 in my state. I am planning on doing the old Hunter.io to find emails then do a campaign, but I have to think there is a better approach. Help me savages!

Zoominfo will integrate every financial advisor in your state into your CRM in one click of a button... phone numbers and emails are usually pretty accurate too. Not sure how much the integration costs for my company, but I can honestly say zoominfo is the best sales took I've used for a situation like this and it is prob well worth the investment

Seamless.ai is a more affordable tool than Zoominfo if budget is an issue. ZoomInfo does more for integrations as you mature your team and process, but give you are a one-man shop just trying to get some leads, you don't need a robust tool.

Just put "VP of whatever" in our LinkedIn profile and these guys will contact you out of nowhere. I'm a director and I get tons of DMs from FA guys thinking I must have tons of cash just waiting to invest in their shitty mutual funds.

VP/Director of Sales, if I want to sell to you, what is the best way to reach out?

When you have your LinkedIn account set to "open to work" and recruiters reach out all the time do you take the mindset of "I need to sell myself for this role" OR "The recruiter needs to sell the role to myself?"
