Here's what Gmail (Sample: HR/Recruiting SMB) should do to generate more qualified meetings every month.
Lead generation
Start by focusing on companies that have already become your best customers, or who closely match the type of business you want to work with (for example, HR tech companies, staffing agencies, or high-growth SaaS teams in recruitment-heavy industries).
Here is why
Your best future customers often look similar to your current successful ones. Leadsforge can help you uncover these lookalikes by identifying similar company profiles or buyer behaviors. This way, your outreach starts with prospects most likely to convert.
You can quickly find new prospects by targeting followers of your competitors or similar HR solutions on LinkedIn. Simply provide their LinkedIn company page link to Leadsforge—it takes care of finding those followers for you.
Here is why
Company page followers have already shown interest in the space you’re targeting, making them excellent candidates for your outreach. Share their LinkedIn company page link in Leadsforge and it will find it for you.
Define your ideal customer profile (ICP) by first identifying the teams or titles (like Head of Talent, Talent Acquisition Manager, or HR Director) and narrowing by company size (50–1,000 employees) and geography (mainly US, UK, CA, AU; consider EU if you work with GDPR-compliant data).
Here is why
This approach ensures you spend time reaching out to companies that will actually benefit from your solution—saving you resources and improving your chances of success. Once you finalize your ICP, you can export these targets directly from Leadsforge for outreach campaigns.
Targeting
Segment your outreach narrowly for better results. Try separating your lists into groups such as:
1) Companies currently hiring (look at recent job posts)
2) Recently funded startups
3) Competitors’ customers
4) Past/lapsed customers
Here is why
Segmenting lets you tailor your messaging. For example, companies actively hiring might appreciate help scaling their pipeline, while newly funded startups could need immediate hiring support. Leadsforge can help you build these segmented lists easily.
Target vertical slices like healthtech or fintech separately—especially since these industries have stricter requirements and different pain points. Adjust your message to speak to their unique challenges.
Here is why
Sensitive verticals require careful handling to maintain compliance and maximize deliverability, and to show you understand their special needs.
Key triggers to personalize your outreach include: recent funding rounds, spikes in job postings, leadership changes (like a new Head of People), or a company announcing layoffs. Use these as ‘hooks’ in your messaging—Leadsforge enables you to quickly identify these events.
Here is why
Reaching out based on a recent company event makes your message feel relevant and timely, increasing your chances of getting a reply.
