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

Lead generation

Customer Lookalikes

Start by identifying what your best customers look like today – think about the B2B teams, agencies, and founders who value fast, reliable outbound email and deliverability. Focus on those already getting results with cold outreach, handling multi-mailbox setups or needing automated DNS. Use Leadsforge to find lookalike companies by mirroring your ideal customers’ profile (for example, SMB agencies running campaigns or revenue teams at mid-market firms). Here is why Targeting lookalike audiences based on your most successful customers increases the chance that your outreach will hit home, making your campaigns more efficient and higher-converting.

Competitor Followers

Instead of starting from scratch, target companies who already follow your competitors or alternative outbound tools, like Lemlist, Mailshake, or Outreach. Just drop the LinkedIn page link or company name and website into Leadsforge, and it will gather the right crowd for you. Here is why Followers of your competitors are already interested in cold email solutions – with Leadsforge, you instantly get access to this warm audience and save time building lists. Try sharing your competitor’s LinkedIn company page link in Leadsforge to quickly find relevant leads.

Ideal Customer Profile

Continue focusing on revenue teams, agency owners, and founders in geographies where you’re likely to have strong resonance, like the US, UK, EU, Nordics, and Australia. Segment further by job title (Head of Growth, VP Sales, SDR leads, founders), company size (SMB, mid-market), and target only those likely to need multi-mailbox infrastructure (team size 10–1,000 employees). Upload this profile structure to Leadsforge to find the right people. Here is why Refined ICP targeting lets you prioritize decision-makers who will see the biggest benefit from your infrastructure and boosts conversion rates.

Targeting

Segmentation

Prioritize these segments: 1) Agency owners & heads of outreach at SMB agencies 2) Head of Growth / VP Demand Gen at SMBs (10–200 employees) 3) RevOps / Sales Ops at mid-market (200–1,000) 4) Startup founders / growth leaders (early & growth-stage companies) Cluster contacts by region (US/UK/EU/Nordics/AU) and by outbound challenge (automation, deliverability, scaling teams). Here is why Smart segmentation ensures your messaging is more relevant and drives higher engagement, allowing personalized campaigns for each group.

Vertical Slices

Break down your outreach by sub-segments, such as SaaS agencies, marketing consultants, venture-backed startups, and mid-market sales teams. Adjust messaging slightly for each – e.g., run a deliverability angle for agencies, or a scaling solution angle for fast-growing startups. Here is why Verticalized, relatable messaging stands out from generic emails, showing you understand the real-world challenges and language of each sector.

Signals

Target companies and buyers who recently announced any of the following: hiring SDRs or sales roles, launching outbound campaigns, new product launches or integrations, event attendance (e.g., conference posts), or who have raised funding. These are perfect triggers to reference in your email. Here is why Connecting with prospects at the moment they're expanding outbound efforts makes your message much more timely and welcome.

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.”

Vytas Mikulenas

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."
