Works in Chat, Cowork and Code
Targeted prospect list building
Stop wasting time on bad-fit prospects. Build precise lists filtered by industry, company size, job title, funding stage, and location. Start each day with a queue of contacts that actually match your ICP.
Found 43 contacts. 36 have LinkedIn profiles. Filtered to recent funding (signal of active growth hiring). Top accounts have headcount growth signals in the past 6 months. Includes: name, title, company, funding stage, headcount, LinkedIn URL, and company website for email pattern matching.
Personalization research before outreach
Make cold emails feel warm by researching each prospect before reaching out. Pull recent company news, job postings, social activity, and relevant context to write a highly personalized first line that gets replies.
Option 1 (news): "Congrats on the Series B announcement last week — scaling a security infrastructure team post-funding is where most CTOs lose sleep." Option 2 (hiring): "Saw you're hiring 3 DevSecOps engineers — suggests you're building out your security toolchain." Option 3 (tech): "Noticed your stack uses AWS Lambda and Terraform — we work with similar architectures."
Trigger event monitoring
Track news and signals across your prospect universe to reach out at the perfect moment. A funding round, executive hire, product launch, or expansion announcement is a buying trigger — be first to engage.
This week's triggers: 4 Series A/B rounds announced (flagged for immediate outreach), 7 new CTO/VP Eng hires at target companies, 2 product launches (competitor displacement angle), and 3 geographic expansion announcements. Prioritized by deal potential — top 5 should get same-day outreach.
Intent-based prospect research via job postings
Read job postings like a sales signal. When a company posts for roles that match your solution, they are actively investing in that problem. Use hiring data to prioritize your outreach queue.
Found 34 companies actively hiring in data engineering. Top signals: 8 companies hiring 3+ data roles simultaneously (aggressive investment), 12 companies posting their first data engineering roles (new initiative). Ranked by signal strength. All are likely evaluating data infrastructure solutions.
Account qualification and research
Quickly qualify a prospect account before investing outreach time. Verify company size, funding, recent activity, and fit signals in under 2 minutes so you spend effort on the right accounts.
Apex Digital: 180 employees, SaaS company, founded 2019. Series B funded ($22M). Tech stack suggests AWS-heavy infrastructure. Current vendor for endpoint security visible in job postings (replacing it would be a displacement deal). Fit score: strong. Recommended next step: reach out to their VP Engineering directly.
Multi-channel outreach content creation
Create personalized outreach messages across email, LinkedIn, and phone scripts for each prospect batch. Write messaging that connects your solution to their specific situation without generic copy-paste templates.
Created full sequence: Email 1 — congrats on funding, 1-sentence problem framing, soft ask. Email 2 (Day 3) — forward with different angle (ROI case study). Email 3 (Day 7) — break-up email with a question. LinkedIn: 2-sentence connection request, no pitch. Voicemail: 25-second script, mention their round, one question to call back.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Lead Finder compare to buying lists from a data vendor?
Lead Finder searches live company and contact databases and lets you filter by very specific criteria — industry, funding stage, company size, job title, geography, and technology used. You pull exactly the ICP-matched list you need in real time, rather than paying for a static export with stale data.
What are the best trigger events to use for BDR outreach?
The highest-converting triggers are: funding announcements (company is spending), new executive hires (new decision-maker ready to evaluate solutions), job postings in your solution area (active investment signal), and product launches or expansions (growth mode, open to new tools). News monitors all of these.
How do I use job postings as a prospecting signal?
Job Search finds live listings by keyword across all major job boards. Search for role types that signal your solution's problem space — if you sell data integration tools, companies posting for multiple data engineering roles are actively investing in that area. Filter by company size to qualify at the same time.
Can I personalize cold emails at scale with these tools?
Content Repurposer generates personalized email sequences from a brief describing the trigger event and prospect context. For high-priority accounts, News and Competitor Research give you the specific details — recent news, hiring signals, tech stack — to write a genuinely personalized first line rather than a mail-merge placeholder.
How quickly can I research a prospect account before a call?
Competitor Research returns a company overview in under 60 seconds. For a quick pre-call brief, ask for company overview, recent news, and one personalized talking point. For an important discovery call, spend 10 minutes with Deep Research to build a comprehensive account profile.
