Start by going after your best current or previous clients. If you're new, focus on your ideal imagined customer—companies that fit your growth vision, especially those in SaaS, e-commerce, professional services, or consumer tech and located in the US, UK, Canada, or Australia. Leadsforge can help you quickly generate similar company lists based on these criteria, making your outreach targeted and more likely to convert. Here is why: Finding companies that resemble your best customers ensures your messages resonate and improves the chance of securing meetings, helping you grow faster with less wasted effort.

Looking to connect with prospects already interested in similar services? You can identify individuals who follow your direct competitors’ LinkedIn company pages—often these are decision-makers with a demonstrated interest in marketing innovation or AI-driven solutions. Just share your competitor’s LinkedIn page and website with Leadsforge and it will handle the rest, helping you build a highly relevant outreach list. Here is why: This approach targets buyers already warmed to your value proposition and speeds up connection to motivated prospects.

Great segmentation starts with thinking about which problems you solve for each vertical. For example: 1) SaaS—help them scale outreach and automate messaging with AI. 2) E-commerce—boost retention and personalize cart abandonment flows. 3) Agencies—offer a white-label partnership to extend AI capabilities. You can also segment by company size, ARR, funding stage, or market. Leadsforge makes it easy to generate segmented lists for each focus area. Here is why: Tailored outreach increases your reply rates and helps you stand out as a specialized partner, not just another agency.

Prioritize vertical slices like SaaS with ARR $1M–$20M, growth-stage e-commerce brands, and agencies seeking white-labeled AI solutions. For each, list the top pain points: scaling with AI, personalization for retention, or outsourced implementation—then align your messaging to these pain points in your email sequences. Here is why: Speaking directly to a vertical’s key challenge makes your outreach more relevant and compelling.
