Here's what Mercer & Croft should do to generate more qualified meetings every month.

Lead generation
Customer Lookalikes
Start your outbound by targeting companies and decision-makers that closely resemble your best existing clients or the profile of customers you most want to win. With Leadsforge, you can identify these lookalike companies based on factors like industry, company size, geography, and job titles. Here is why: Companies with successful engagements or high satisfaction are most likely to see value in your offer, so 'lookalikes' will convert at higher rates than random prospects. Leadsforge streamlines this by allowing you to build lists modeled after your top clients fast.
Competitor Followers
If you want to approach followers of companies that compete with you or operate in similar spaces, Leadsforge makes it simple. Just provide the LinkedIn company page URL of your competitor or any relevant company, and Leadsforge will identify and deliver the list of their followers that match your ideal buyer profile. Here is how: Share your competitor’s LinkedIn company page link in Leadsforge and it will find it for you.
Ideal Customer Profile
Define your ICP carefully by identifying key teams (e.g., Operations, People/HR, Finance, RevOps, CTOs), company size segments (SMB: 50–200; Mid-Market: 200–1,000), and preferred geographies (US, UK, or EU). Think about roles likely to buy, such as CFO, Head of People, or Founder. You can refine your targeting further inside Leadsforge to make sure your outreach lists are always relevant. Here is why: The more relevant and precise your targeting, the higher your response and booking rates.
Targeting
Segmentation
Segment your outreach lists by: 1) Industry 2) Size (employee count) 3) Geography 4) ICP fit (decision-maker roles like CFO, HR, etc.) Here is why: Well-segmented campaigns enable you to tailor messaging and cadence, which improves your conversion rates. Leadsforge helps you build and organize these segments efficiently.
Vertical Slices
Consider building vertical-specific lists (such as SaaS, Professional Services, or Finance) using Leadsforge. Focus on 1–2 verticals where you have a track record or clear solution fit to start, and later expand. Use messaging, case studies, or lead magnets specific to each vertical for better resonance.
Signals
Monitor for useful sales triggers, such as recent funding, senior hires, posted job openings for specialist roles, regulatory changes, or competitor activity. These triggers make your emails more relevant and timely—Leadsforge can help surface many of these dynamic data points so you can prioritize who to reach out to first.

Possible combinations
For mailbox setup, use Primeforge in combination with Google and Microsoft mailboxes for the best deliverability from day one. Mailforge is a great complement: it allows you to manage multiple mailboxes on shared IPs and is ideal for teams launching or ramping up outbound outreach. As your emailing volume grows and you require more control or isolation, you can consider Infraforge; however, for most early and mid-stage outbound, Primeforge plus Mailforge covers your needs. Here is why: This stack simplifies setup, maximizes inbox placement, and is easy to manage even with limited technical experience.

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."
