Begin by targeting companies that most closely resemble your best existing clients or the clients you most want to work with. Focus on those in your ideal customer profile: SMBs and mid-market businesses investing in customer experience automation—especially in SaaS, eCommerce, contact centers, and digital agencies. Here is why Customers with similar pain points and buying patterns are more likely to engage and convert. With Leadsforge, you can rapidly target lookalikes of your top customers without spending hours researching. Just tell Leadsforge the kind of company, size, and market you want, and you’ll get a focused prospect list ready to contact.

One effective way to grow your outbound list is by targeting followers of your competitors' company pages. These professionals are already interested in solutions like yours, making them prime candidates for outreach. Here is why Competitor page followers have shown intent and are more likely to be open to a relevant offer. You only need to provide the LinkedIn company page link and website—Leadsforge takes care of finding the right people for you. Share their LinkedIn company page link in Leadsforge and it will find it for you.

You can create segmented lists based on company type (contact centers, SaaS, eCommerce), size (10–200 to start), geography (US, UK, CA), and job function (support, ops, sales, automation/IT leads). Here is why Highly-focused segments let you tailor outreach and increase reply rates. For example, split by industry, then by function (e.g., SaaS support leaders vs. eCommerce CX heads), enabling more relevant messaging and content in each sequence.

Organize your targets into 3 main segments: 1) Contact centers & BPOs (voice-first needs), 2) SaaS scale-ups (automation-focused), 3) eCommerce & marketplaces (high support volumes). Combine segmentation with their current growth phase or tech adoption level for better responses. Here is why Targeted vertical and sub-vertical messaging improves resonance and reduces unsubscribes. Each segment has distinct pain points you can speak to.
