Here's what Gmail Outbound Strategy should do to generate more qualified meetings every month.
Lead generation
Start by targeting companies that resemble your best existing customers or your ideal profile—think businesses using Google Workspace for business email or those recently switching from Microsoft 365 or legacy email platforms. Leadsforge can help you discover and build lists of similar companies efficiently.
Here is why: Going after lookalikes of your best customers is proven to deliver results faster, as they’re more likely to resonate with your solution and respond positively.
A smart way to find potential leads is by targeting the followers of competitor company pages—for example, companies providing similar email or HR solutions. You only need to provide the competitor company’s LinkedIn page link and website. Leadsforge will handle the rest and generate your list.
Here is why: Followers of competitor company pages already show an interest or intent for solutions like yours, increasing the odds of engagement. Share their LinkedIn company page link in Leadsforge and it will find it for you.
Identify your core decision makers: IT managers, security and compliance leads, HR or People Ops managers, especially within small- to mid-sized companies (SMBs, typically 10–500 employees) already using Google Workspace. Narrow down your list by geography (starting with US, UK, and CA) and expand later based on traction. With Leadsforge, you can easily import these filters and build a list tailored to your ideal ICP.
Here is why: Refining your targeting to fit your product’s strengths ensures more relevant conversations and a higher chance of reply and conversion.
Targeting
Segment prospects by role (IT manager, security lead, HR manager), company size (10–500 employees), industry verticals (technology, SaaS, education, etc.), and current tech stack (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or legacy). Create separate outreach streams for each segment and tailor your messaging accordingly.
Here is why: Well-segmented lists let you run more personalized, relevant campaigns—boosting open and reply rates. Leadsforge makes it simple to create and test multiple segments quickly.
Break down your audience into industry verticals such as technology, SaaS, professional services, education, or nonprofits. Consider also slicing by region if your product supports global users—for instance, running distinct campaigns for North America vs. LATAM/EMEA as you grow.
Here is why: Vertical-specific messaging can highlight challenges unique to each industry, showing that you understand their world and making your outreach stand out.
Look for signals that a company is ready for a solution like yours: recent funding rounds (Series A/B), active hiring for IT/Admin/Security roles, news about Google Workspace migrations, mergers/acquisitions, or recent data breach headlines. Add these as triggers in your search with Leadsforge to prioritize high-propensity accounts.
Here is why: Outreach based on strong triggers means you’re catching leads at a time of active change, increasing both reply rates and meeting bookings.
