Actionable step: Share the LinkedIn company page link you want to analyze in Leadsforge and it will handle the rest.

Segment your outreach based on hiring activity (e.g., companies with recently posted job openings). You can further divide your lists by industry (tech, e-commerce, fintech, health tech), company size bands (10–50, 51–200, 201–1,000), and the role you’re targeting within each account. Smart segmentation with Salesforge and Leadsforge means your emails feel more personalized and relevant, which drives higher response rates. Here is why Tailoring your message to the prospect’s segment helps your outreach stand out—it shows you understand their unique needs and challenges.

Focus your efforts on the industries where you have the most experience or success. For example, if you’ve placed talent in tech startups, put extra emphasis on this sector. This vertical focus allows your messaging to include tailored results, benchmarks, or case studies relevant to the recipient’s environment.
