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

Lead generation
Customer Lookalikes
Start with companies that closely resemble your best existing customers—those Seed to Series B SaaS/technology companies selling into CISO, CTO, and VP Sales roles with a typical ACV of £25k. Leadsforge is well-suited for identifying and finding more of these high-fit lookalike prospects. Here is why: Focusing on lookalikes to your best customers gives you the greatest odds of early wins and fast pipeline impact, as these companies are likely to have similar needs and respond positively to your positioning. Use Leadsforge—share the exact profile of your best customer and it will help you find similar companies.
Competitor Followers
For an effective competitive approach, consider searching for people who follow your competitors' LinkedIn company pages. This way, you’re targeting users already interested in offerings similar to yours. You only need to provide the competitor’s company name and website—Leadsforge does the rest. Share their LinkedIn company page link in Leadsforge and it will find the relevant audience for you.
Ideal Customer Profile
Define your ideal customer profile by focusing on Seed to Series B SaaS or technology companies, especially those selling to engineering, platform, security, or sales/revops buyers. Segment further by company size (10–50 and 51–150 employees), target ACV (£5k–£100k), location (UK, EU, US), and buying team roles, then send this criteria to Leadsforge for precise list building. Here is why: The more tightly you define your ICP—including decision-maker titles, geography, and company size—the more relevant and interested your leads will be, which improves conversion rates and keeps your campaigns compliant.
Targeting
Segmentation
Segment your outreach by persona (CTO, CISO, VP Sales), company size (split 10–50 vs 51–150), technographic signals (stack/tools in use), and geography (sequence campaigns UK → EU → US to better handle timezone and response flow). Here is why: Structured segmentation delivers tailored, relevant messaging to each group, greatly increasing your reply rates and overall campaign effectiveness while keeping messaging manageable.
Vertical Slices
Vertical slices to focus on include: 1) Seed to Series B SaaS/platform startups in core markets (UK, EU, US) 2) Engineering/DevOps security (compliance and platform tooling) 3) Commercial GTM tech companies with fast-evolving product launches or hiring spikes Here is why: These slices match both your core value (speed, compliance, high-touch) and the needs of those buyer sets you already win with.
Signals
Strong triggers for outreach include recent funding (pre- or post-raise), hiring growth in engineering/security/sales, and competitive job postings or high-profile product launches. Here is why: These triggers indicate moments when decision makers are most open to new GTM solutions for pipeline acceleration and compliance challenges—making your outreach timely and relevant.

Possible combinations
Start with Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 mailboxes for primary outreach because these are most trusted for deliverability. Add Primeforge to manage these mailboxes and ensure they are prewarmed and optimized for outbound.

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."
Carlos Palop
CEO, UniteSync
