# Find Leads by Industry

Finding high-quality leads starts with targeting the right industries. Rather than casting a wide net, focused industry targeting lets you build prospect lists of companies that actually need your product. The difference between a generic outreach list and an industry-targeted one is often a 3-5x improvement in response rates.

ToolRouter's Lead Finder tool searches company databases by industry, size, location, and other firmographic criteria. The find_companies skill returns detailed company profiles including key contacts, funding status, and technology signals that indicate buying readiness.

Sales teams use industry-targeted lead generation to open new verticals, account-based marketing teams use it to build target account lists, and founders use it to validate market demand before building features for a specific segment.
