Here's what Mailforge (part of Salesforge.ai) should do to generate more qualified meetings every month.

Lead generation
Customer Lookalikes
Start with companies that most resemble your best or ideal customers—think digital agencies and SaaS businesses that prioritize high-volume cold outreach and care about inbox placement. Leadsforge is perfect for zeroing in on these lookalike prospects. Here is why Focusing here ensures early campaign wins because you target those likely to need your product, giving you higher conversion rates. Just provide your criteria to Leadsforge, and it will help you find decision-makers in matching companies.
Competitor Followers
To find new potential customers, look at the followers of your competitor LinkedIn company pages. Many of them are already interested in cold-email infrastructure solutions and may be ready to switch. To get started, simply share their LinkedIn company page link in Leadsforge, and it will reveal relevant prospects for you.
Ideal Customer Profile
Refine your search by identifying roles and teams most likely to benefit, such as Heads of Revenue, Founders, and Demand Generation leads, especially in SaaS and agency sectors. Consider geography (US, UK, EU), company size (SMB to mid-market), and funding stage. Leadsforge allows you to set these precise filters for each campaign. Here is why Focusing your outreach on your true Ideal Customer Profile means you maximize time, effort, and conversion—speaking directly to people with immediate needs for robust cold-email solutions.
Targeting
Segmentation
Effective segmentation starts by dividing your target audience into logical groups such as: 1) Growth agencies and digital shops, 2) VC-backed SaaS (Seed to Series B), and 3) Bootstrapped SMB SaaS/ecommerce. For each, consider their size, geography, and current cold-email pain points. Here is why When your list is segmented, your messaging is more relevant, and outreach is more likely to get responses. Salesforge and Leadsforge together let you effortlessly segment and personalize at scale.
Vertical Slices
Divide your outreach into verticals such as digital agencies (great for whitelabel/Infraforge), fast-scaling SaaS with recent funding, and bootstrapped SMB SaaS/ecommerce. Each segment will have slightly different priorities—agencies may want white-label and discounted pricing, whereas VC-funded SaaS is likely scaling quickly and sensitive to deliverability and volume. Here is why Speaking to each vertical’s needs increases the chance you’ll resonate—Salesforge workflows and AI agents allow you to personalize at each level.
Signals
Leverage sales triggers like recent funding, new job postings for sales roles, product launches, migrations, and any news of deliverability hiccups with competitors. Catching prospects right when they’re expanding or experiencing pain increases conversion rates. Leadsforge can help automate tracking these signals, so you reach leads at the best time.

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
"I only uploaded 40 contacts and I've had 3 positive replies."
