Here's what Blair + Mui Dowd Architects should do to generate more qualified meetings every month.
Lead generation
A smart first move is to pursue contacts who look like your very best clients – for you, this means university research departments, lab managers, life science real estate developers, and pharma/biotech operations leaders. Leadsforge can help identify people similar to those you already serve or wish you had as flagship clients.
Here is why
Starting with lookalikes of your ideal clients ensures your outreach focuses on organizations proven to value your expertise, increasing your chances for meaningful conversations and faster wins.
If you want to target the audience following high-profile competitors – for instance, other lab design firms or architects with major research or university clients – Leadsforge enables you to easily find these audiences. You just need to share the LinkedIn company page of a competitor in Leadsforge, and it will find the right contacts for you.
Here is why
Company followers are already interested in the types of services you offer, making them more likely to engage with relevant, targeted outreach.
You should focus on key roles like Facilities Directors, VP of Real Estate, Capital Projects leaders at universities, Directors of Research Operations, Lab Managers, and Life Science Developers. Filter by region (Tennessee/Southeast US first, then leading clusters like Northeast, Texas, California), and refine your lists by project type (labs, research centers, healthcare). After identifying the right segments, send your requirements to Leadsforge and accelerate your list building.
Here is why
Carefully targeting roles and geography ensures you’re speaking directly to decision-makers with both the interest and authority to start a conversation about new projects.
Targeting
Segment your outreach by:
1) University & Research Institute leadership (Facilities, Capital Projects, Research Ops)
2) Biotech/Pharma campus managers (Head of Real Estate, Facilities Managers)
3) Life Science property developers and leasing managers.
You can further refine by campus size, location, or whether they’ve recently undertaken new research construction.
Within your main verticals, try segmenting by:
1) Academic research centers with planned capital projects
2) Biotech companies scaling their footprint
3) Real estate developers or managers announcing new life science facilities.
This lets you tailor your outreach message, using case studies most relevant to each group.
Prioritize accounts signaling real projects or needs: university capital campaigns, research grants, announced RFPs/RFQs, masterplan updates, facility renovations, or new hires indicating lab/science expansions.
