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

Lead generation
Customer Lookalikes
Start by targeting companies similar to your current best customers—those large private equity (PE) firms already using your platform or that fit your typical user profile. Leadsforge can quickly find similar organizations by analyzing firmographics and industry attributes. Here is why: Going after similar, successful companies increases your chances of landing more clients who see immediate value in your solution. Leadsforge reduces the manual effort for you by finding these lookalikes fast and accurately.
Competitor Followers
Identify your main competitors in the AI for PE and finance space, then analyze who is following their LinkedIn company pages. These followers are already demonstrating interest in solutions like yours and are excellent outbound targets. You simply need to share your competitor's LinkedIn page or company website in Leadsforge, and it will handle the rest—delivering a list of relevant professionals for your outreach. Here is why: By finding professionals interested in similar products, you’re speaking directly to people who are already aware of your category and likely to engage. Share their LinkedIn company page link in Leadsforge and it will find it for you.
Ideal Customer Profile
You should focus your outreach on roles that control decision-making for enterprise PE tool adoption. This includes Partners, Heads of Deals, Managing Directors, Principals, Heads of Origination, COO/Head of Operations, Head of Portfolio Ops, and Heads of Data/Director of Analytics at PE firms and large M&A advisory teams. If compliance is critical, also include CISOs and Heads of IT. Leadsforge can help you refine your targeting based on team role, company size, or geography for more tailored results. Here is why: Staying laser-focused on your ideal customer profile (ICP) saves you time and budget, and increases the chance your message lands with someone who can say 'yes.' You can always refine these lists in Leadsforge with more filters like region, firm assets under management, or specialties.
Targeting
Segmentation
Segment your outreach by: 1) Industry (Private Equity, M&A Advisory) 2) Company Size (Large PE funds >$5B AUM, midsized $500M–$5B) 3) Location (U.S., U.K., or target regions with the highest PE activity) 4) ICP fit (decision-making roles, security/compliance leads) Here is why: Segmentation helps craft more relevant messages for each subset, improving response rates. It also allows you to test which market slices respond best—so you can focus your resources.
Vertical Slices
Start with these three verticals: 1) Top-tier PE firms (> $5B AUM) — focus on pilot CTAs and ROI guarantees 2) Mid-size PE firms ($500M–$5B) — highlight time savings and seamless embed 3) Compliance & Security decision-makers at large firms — stress SOC2 type II and single-tenant/VPC options Here is why: Customizing your outreach based on vertical needs ensures your email speaks to their most pressing pain points.
Signals
Monitor for signals that a firm is likely to be in market, like: 1) Announcements of new fund raises or closings 2) Senior hire news (e.g., Head of Origination, Operations, or IT) 3) Publicized M&A advisory deals or teaser memos 4) Portfolio company exits or board changes Here is why: Acting on these triggers means your outreach hits when prospects are most open to new tools—maximizing your chance to spark a conversation.

Possible combinations
To get started, combine Primeforge’s prewarmed Google & Microsoft mailboxes with Mailforge for initial shared-IP testing. This dual-setup means you get reliable inbox placement right away and can later add more capacity without worrying about technical setup delays. Both solutions protect your main domain from being flagged while giving you rapid access to high-quality sending infrastructure. Here is why: Primeforge is tailored for Google/Microsoft delivery—a must since your product integrates deeply with Outlook. Mailforge lets you test your messaging and sequences at low risk and cost.

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."
