Prospecting

B2B prospecting: finding accounts worth selling to

Pipeline problems usually start upstream of the email. A rep sending great messages to the wrong accounts will lose to an average rep sending decent messages to the right ones, every quarter. Prospecting is the discipline of deciding who is worth your time before you spend any of it.

These playbooks cover defining an ideal customer profile you can actually filter on, building account lists from firmographic and technographic data, spotting buying signals such as funding, hiring and leadership changes, and mapping the buying committee inside an account so you reach the person with the problem and the person with the budget. They also cover list hygiene — the duplicates, bounces and stale contacts that quietly wreck deliverability.

Each guide includes frameworks and worked examples, so you can apply the approach to your own market rather than copying someone else's list.
