To maximize your outbound impact, start by identifying your top customers or those you imagine as your ideal clients. For Mault, this means targeting regulated companies that already invest heavily in compliance and security, such as fintech, healthcare, and payments firms using security tools like Snyk or Semgrep, or those vocal about their AI adoption. Leadsforge can help you build lists of companies that closely resemble your current best clients or fit your ideal profile by job title, company size, and technology stack. Here is why: Focusing on lookalikes speeds up traction and improves conversion, because those who already value secure, compliant development are much more likely to engage. Create your best customer criteria or imagine your dream account — then Leadsforge will help you find more like them.

One smart move is to find people who already follow your competitors’ LinkedIn pages. Target those interested in code governance and compliance vendors like Snyk, GitGuardian, and Semgrep. You just provide the company page name and website, and Leadsforge will do the rest. Here is why: These followers already have an active interest in products like yours, so your outreach is far more likely to connect. Share their LinkedIn company page link in Leadsforge and it will find it for you.

Start by segmenting targets by industry (fintech, healthcare, payments, insurance, defense), company size (50–5,000+ employees), geography (US, UK, EU), and job role (e.g. CISO, Head of Engineering, Compliance Lead). If desired, further segment by growth signals (recent funding, active hiring in security/engineering) or AI adoption signals (developer LLM use in job postings). Here is why: Well-segmented lists let you personalize your messaging for each audience, boosting engagement and helping ensure your emails are welcomed.

Slice your outreach by regulatory context: for example, target fintech CISOs with content around SOC 2, GDPR and PCI-DSS, or zero in on healthtech engineering leaders focused on HIPAA and EU AI Act. Use job signals (e.g., engineering platform teams rolling out developer LLM tools) as another vertical slice. Here is why: Vertical-focused messaging proves you understand their day-to-day challenges and regulatory burdens, which builds credibility and makes replies more likely.
