One smart move is to target competitors’ followers on LinkedIn, as these are likely to be decision makers and marketing leaders interested in your market. You only need to provide the company name and website. Share their LinkedIn company page link in Leadsforge and it will find it for you.

Segment your outreach into four main buckets: 1) Enterprise brand leads (500+ employees, CMO/Marketing VP, CPG/retail/auto/consumer tech) 2) Scale DTC/e-commerce brands (50–500 employees, Heads of Growth, E-commerce Directors) 3) Product-led app businesses & fitness (startups, 10–200, Product Leads/Marketers) 4) Agencies & Partners (offering collaboration, whitelabel, or partnership deals). Here is why Effective segmentation lets you tailor your creative messaging and offers to each audience. You’re far more likely to get replies when your case studies and creative magnet are pitched to the priorities of each group.

Drill further by slicing your outreach by industry: Automotive, CPG, Consumer Apps, Fitness/Wellness, Retail, and E-commerce. Also sort by company size and markets (US, EU, UK). This helps Salesforge personalize sequences, while Leadsforge delivers more precise lists for each vertical.
