Here's what ABD Initiative should do to generate more qualified meetings every month.

Lead generation
Customer Lookalikes
Start with organizations similar to your best customers or those you would ideally like to work with—even if you don’t have customers yet, you can model your ideal prospect based on company size, industry, and leadership roles (such as CEO, Founder, Operations Lead, or Partnerships Director). Here is why: Reaching out to companies that most closely match your ideal or current best customers increases your chance of relevance and response. You can use Leadsforge to generate a lead list that closely mirrors your ideal customer profile quickly and efficiently.
Competitor Followers
To quickly find warm leads, target followers of your competitors’ company pages or similar organizations. You only need to provide the competitor’s name and website—Leadsforge will handle the rest. Here is why: People who follow your competitors are already interested in similar solutions or industries, making them more likely to engage. Share their LinkedIn company page link in Leadsforge and it will find it for you.
Ideal Customer Profile
Define your initial target by focusing on decision-makers (such as CEOs, Founders, Program Directors, Heads of Partnerships/Procurement) within small-to-midsize organizations or nonprofits. Start with your local region, then expand to new countries as you grow. Here is why: Sticking to a structured ICP helps maximize impact by refining your outreach to those most likely to benefit from your offer. You can further fine-tune filters like geography, team size, function, or department, then send your refined audience data to Leadsforge for quick list building.
Targeting
Segmentation
Segment your list by industry (start with the ones you know best), company size (e.g., 10–200 employees), location (local or regional to start), and ICP fit (decision-makers, program owners). Here is why: Well-segmented lists allow for more targeted messaging, improved reply rates, and clearer learning about which segments respond best.
Vertical Slices
Test outreach to sector-specific slices such as: 1) Nonprofits with recent grants; 2) SaaS or services companies with active hiring; 3) Organizations following or using competitor solutions. Adapt messaging and offers per slice. Here is why: Customizing messages for distinct verticals shows personalization and boosts relevance, helping you land more responses and appointments.
Signals
Use powerful triggers for timely outreach, such as recent funding rounds, new hire announcements, program launches, or fiscal planning periods. Here is why: Contacting prospects soon after a big event gets you higher engagement, as your message will feel timely and tailored.

Case Study
“Salesforge and your other products, and your fast support team were crucial in my first 2 years running a lead generation agency. As a solo founder, generating leads for myself and my clients is challenging. Salesforge helped me create a "lean and mean" pipeline. With a small investment of time and money, I often receive so many leads that I have to pause my campaigns.”
Vytas Mikulenas
Founder, Lean Sales Systems
“I've used many platforms and no one beats Salesforge on email deliverability and ease of use. Every week the team adds new features and the support is excellent!”
Sam Momani
CEO, LinkedDNA
"Salesforge's new infrastructure is a game-changer. Big boost for my deliverability and sending capacity. I've tried multiple outreach tools and let me tell you: it's a must-have for everyone that is serious about cold emailing at scale."
Roman Hipp
Co-founder, bettercontact.rocks
"Our CAC is currently $2.86, and we expect it to decrease even further. We’re currently onboarding 4 to 5 new music creators every day. We truly believe in what you’re building at Salesforge. Your guidance on how to scale and reach the right customers has been a game changer for us. Tying your strategy of setting up domains + inboxes + warming up + daily limits with our royalty audit lead magnet has allowed us to grow efficiently, bringing in strong results without excessive effort. It’s made a real difference."
Carlos Palop
CEO, UniteSync
"I only uploaded 40 contacts and I've had 3 positive replies."
