Here's what Learning Curve Group should do to generate more qualified meetings every month.
Lead generation
If you want to reach more of your best customers, start by targeting companies similar to your most successful employer clients or ideal prospects—those in logistics, retail, healthcare, or public sector with a strong focus on upskilling and apprenticeships.
Here is why: Focusing on lookalikes makes your outreach more relevant and increases the chance of positive replies. You can quickly identify and build lists of companies that share characteristics with your top customers using Leadsforge. Simply input the details of your ideal company or best client, and Leadsforge will help you build a high-quality prospect list.
To expand your reach, target the audiences already engaging with your competitors or education service providers in your space. You simply provide the company page link or name in Leadsforge, and it will gather follower lists from relevant LinkedIn company pages, saving you time and effort.
Here is why: Engaging with competitor followers puts your message in front of a warm audience already interested in what you offer. Share their LinkedIn company page link in Leadsforge and it will find it for you.
Refine your targeting by focusing on decision-makers within your ideal customer profile (ICP):
1) L&D / HR Managers at employers of 100+ staff (retail, logistics, health & social care, transport)
2) Heads of Partnerships / Curriculum at colleges and FE providers
3) Commissioners and workforce leads in public sector/local authorities
Here is why: Going after well-defined ICP segments ensures you’re speaking to people empowered to buy or influence decisions. You can further filter by geography or team structure to match your campaigns to specific territories or departments. Leadsforge lets you input these criteria and will deliver refined contact lists.
Targeting
Segment your outbound into logical groups for better message fit. For your industry and company size, we suggest:
1) Employers (HR, L&D, Talent)
2) Education Providers & Colleges
3) Local Authorities and Justice/Education Partnerships
Here is why: Tailoring your campaigns to each segment’s needs (staff upskilling, curriculum adoption, or employability funding) will make your emails feel personal and boost your response rate. You can use industry, size, location, and ICP criteria to segment lists with Leadsforge.
Target vertical slices like retail, logistics, healthcare, transport, housing, and council/public sector. Structure your outreach by vertical for messaging that speaks to each segment’s unique pain points and goals. For example, reference sector challenges in transport or showcase apprenticeship success stories for retail.
Here is why: Outreach by vertical allows you to deliver more relevant content, such as tailored case studies or region-specific funding opportunities, which increases engagement.
Use timely triggers to maximize interest:
1) Organizational news (e.g., new CEO appointment—great for personalization)
2) Announcements of funding rounds or apprenticeship levy windows
3) Release of new Ofsted reports or local workforce strategies
4) Signs of hiring growth on LinkedIn or procurement announcements
Here is why: Triggers help you send outreach when your offer is most relevant, increasing reply rates and opening the door to more meaningful conversations.
