For Auris, your ideal customer profiles (ICP) include Owners, CEOs, HR Managers, Finance Directors, Bookkeepers, and Office Managers at SMBs with 5–500 employees, especially those with complex payroll needs. Start by mapping companies according to their size (5–19, 20–99, 100–500) and their team structure – for example, do they have HR and Finance departments, or is it owner-managed? You can further refine your targeting to focus on businesses in specific US states where payroll compliance is more challenging, or verticals that fit your strengths. Once you’ve defined your ICP, simply enter these criteria into Leadsforge to build your highly-targeted list. Here is why: Refined ICP-targeting ensures you’re reaching real decision makers who actually need your solution, increasing both response and close rates.

Effective triggers to act on include: 1) Companies posting job openings or expanding hiring. 2) Opening new locations (growth signals). 3) Year-end and Q1 (tax and benefits season). 4) Notable vendor changes or when accounting firms switch. 5) Signs of new funding, mergers, or acquisitions within the SMB space. Here is why: Timing your outreach to these live events means you’re engaging SMBs when they are most aware of their payroll pain, producing quicker and more relevant conversations.
