Workflow
-
Define the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). Capture industry/sector, company size (employees, revenue), geography, tech stack, and funding stage.
-
Identify decision-maker personas. Map the primary buyer, influencers, the economic buyer (budget holder), and the technical buyer (evaluation team).
-
Build the search strategy. Set job-title patterns, company criteria, location filters, seniority level, and description keywords. Choose a list-building approach: account-based, role-based, industry-based, event-based (job changes, funding rounds), or geography-based.
-
Collect and enrich data (public info only). Compile name, title, company, size, location, industry, public activity, and shared connections. Verify company details, find contact information, add personalization context, and score lead quality. See
references/tools-and-export.mdfor discovery and verification methods. -
Prioritize and segment. Tag hot leads (recent job changes), warm leads (shared connections), and cold leads (no prior contact). Group by account for campaigns.
-
Deliver the prospect list. Format the output per
references/output-template.md, attach relevant campaign playbooks fromreferences/campaigns.md, and provide export-ready data perreferences/tools-and-export.md.
Deliver a targeted, researched set of qualified prospects with personalization context — not just a list of names. See references/examples.md for trigger phrases and best practices.
