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

Lead generation
Customer Lookalikes
Start with your very best customers: large enterprises using omnichannel messaging and conversational AI to drive revenue and efficiency. Leadsforge helps by finding companies who share characteristics with your top banking, retail, telecom, or insurance clients, so you can target similar organizations who are most likely to benefit from your solution. Here is why: Companies similar to your current, successful customers usually have similar problems and needs — making them more likely to convert and easier to personalize your message toward. Use Leadsforge to upload your customer list or describe your ideal target, and it will generate a matching list for you.
Competitor Followers
A smart move is to go after the followers of your competing conversational AI and messaging platforms. Leadsforge can help you identify people connected to competitors—simply share their LinkedIn company page link in Leadsforge and it will find the right contacts and companies for you. Here is why: These followers are already interested in solutions like yours, making them warm and relevant prospects who are more receptive to outbound messages.
Ideal Customer Profile
Your ICP is heads and VPs in Digital Engagement, CX, Support, Commerce, and Marketing roles inside large enterprises, especially in banking, retail, telecom, and insurance. Here is why: Focusing on these roles and verticals increases your messaging relevance and your chances of booking high-value meetings. You can refine this further by adjusting company size, region, or exact function, then load this specification into Leadsforge for precise list building.
Targeting
Segmentation
Segment your target list by industry (Banking/FinServ, Retail/e-commerce, Telecom, Insurance), seniority (Director, VP, Head, C-level), company size band (mid-market vs enterprise), and region (US, UK, EU, India, SEA). Here is why: Tailoring your outreach for each vertical, role, and region makes your messaging more relevant, increases open and reply rates, and enables you to personalize at scale. For example, send KYC automation use cases to banking leads and checkout uplift use cases to retail targets.
Vertical Slices
Divide your campaigns into vertical slices — such as FSI, Retail, Telecom, Insurance — and create role-based sub-lists inside each. Use list customization and personalized hooks around business outcome (e.g., reduced support costs for banks, higher conversion for retail, reduced churn for telecoms). Here is why: Enterprise buyers expect tailored value: verticalized playbooks deliver stronger relevance and prove ROI to each market segment.
Signals
Look out for event-based signals like recent funding, leadership hires (e.g., Head of CX, Head of Growth), new product launches, or regulatory/market changes impacting messaging channels. Also watch for inbound behaviors: site visits, downloads, demo inquiries, or LinkedIn engagement can all act as triggers to reach out with relevant messaging. Here is why: Reaching prospects when they’re going through change or show active interest increases your chances of a warm response.

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.

Founder, Lean Sales Systems
“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."
