Focus first on companies and teams who are already big fans of your typical data list and enrichment products—especially your highest‑value, happiest customers. These often include fast‑growing SaaS, tech firms, and consultancies relying on verified data for high‑tempo sales and marketing. To find new prospects that resemble your best clients, prioritize similar company size, role seniority (such as Directors of Sales & Marketing), and growth indicators (like recent hiring or fundraising). Use Leadsforge to quickly find and build out these lookalike audiences for your outbound list generation. Here is why: Campaigns perform better when targeting organizations most similar to your ideal customer profile. Leadsforge makes this easy by automating the discovery process and letting you focus on higher‑quality outreach from day one.

You can reach a highly relevant audience by targeting people who follow your direct competitors or similar data providers online. All you need to do is provide the LinkedIn company page or website of your competitors. Leadsforge will automatically find the followers and add them to your prospecting list—great for engaging decision‑makers already interested in services like yours. Here is why: Competitor followers are likely problem‑aware and open to new suppliers. Share their LinkedIn company page link in Leadsforge and it will find it for you.

Segment your outreach by buyer role (Sales, Marketing, Events/Partnerships), company industry (SaaS/Tech, Healthcare, Events), and business size. Start by grouping leads into at least three lists: 1) Marketing/Sales leaders at SaaS/Tech companies (highest value), 2) Healthcare/Hospital operations (emphasize compliance), and 3) Trade Show/Event organizers. If relevant, make additional lists for SMB owners or former customers needing enrichment. Here is why: Tailored messages to each segment show understanding and drive much stronger engagement than generic campaigns.

Begin with your strongest verticals, such as SaaS/Tech and Healthcare. In healthcare, always emphasize compliance and your fast, verified, regulation‑aligned delivery. Expand to events/trade shows, then test additional niches (like Finance or Enterprise IT) if your data quality supports it. Use these vertical 'slices' to create highly relevant offers and messaging for each group.
