Here's what Davis Index should do to generate more qualified meetings every month.

Lead generation
Customer Lookalikes
Begin by targeting companies that most closely resemble your best customers—such as manufacturers, mills, smelters, trading houses, and government procurement teams already using your market indexes. Here is why Companies like Tata and Caterpillar are existing customers; these are strong starting points since similar organizations will have comparable data needs and likely budgets. Use Leadsforge to quickly identify similar companies across North America, India, EU, and other geographies to expand your outreach efficiently.
Competitor Followers
Discover new leads by focusing on businesses that follow your competitors’ company pages. Here is why These organizations are already interested in metal price intelligence and market analysis, making them high-probability prospects. Simply share the LinkedIn company page link of your competitors (or similar services) inside Leadsforge and it will find followers for you automatically.
Ideal Customer Profile
Refine your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) by pinpointing key decision-makers, such as Procurement Directors, Heads of Supply Chain, Commodity/Raw Materials Traders, and CFOs at manufacturers, mills, trading houses, and government procurement organizations, within your geographic focus areas like North America, India, Mexico, EU, Japan, Turkey, and SE Asia. Here is why Targeting these roles ensures your outreach is relevant and well-aligned with buyer pain points—helping you connect with teams that most need accurate, localized metal pricing data. Leadsforge allows for deeper filtering by team, role, geography, and material focus so you can build precisely segmented lead lists.
Targeting
Segmentation
Segment your outreach by industry (manufacturing, mill, trading, government), company size, geography, and how well each account matches your ICP. Here is why Using this structure means you’re always reaching out with contextually relevant messaging, increasing both reply and meeting rates. Start with broad segments, then narrow further as needed inside Leadsforge based on market signals.
Vertical Slices
Divide your target list further by material handled (ferrous, non-ferrous, recycled, alloys) and by operational touchpoints—procurement, finance, trading, and government tender roles. Here is why Personalizing messages to each material and role significantly boosts engagement, since each segment faces unique challenges and priorities. Use location-specific pricing and sample reports as hooks for each vertical.
Signals
Key outreach triggers include recent price volatility, reports of shipping delays or new tariffs, public news about supplier or capacity changes, active government RFPs, and visible hiring for procurement or trading roles. Here is why These real-world events create urgency—contacting prospects when they’re most receptive can lead to higher reply and demo rates. Keep your finger on these triggers using market alerts and news feeds as sources for timely outreach.

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.

“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."
